23 Oct WHY PURSUING YOUR DREAMS = HAPPINESS (LIVE FROM FRANCE)

Today, I’m particularly delighted to connect with you straight from south western France, in the heart of my sister and brother-in-law’s magnificent vineyard.

And oui, it’s been a wonderful vacation! French food, lots of wine, and, most importantly, connecting with my beloved family has been good for the soul.

But what I wanted to share with you today isn’t so much about the obvious joys of France (of which there are many); rather, it’s something that I’ve noticed in the last ten days: how incredibly HAPPY everyone is!

Yes, HAPPY. My sister, her husband, and their two beautiful girls are genuinely happy! And it’s not just them. The neighbors who came over for dinner are, too. And so are the people on the street.

Now, none of these lovely folks seem to be extremely wealthy, but their happiness is just so noticeable. And it got me thinking about how important it is to do what you really want to do in this life, and how crucial it is to live YOUR dream.

My sister and her husband are living their dream. Two fellow foreigners, they had the burning desire to have an organic winery and an organic vineyard — in France — and they made it happen. They made Chateau Feely wines a reality.

It wasn’t easy. It was an enormous amount of work. They sacrificed a lot get their organic wine business to a point where it was sustainable and now profitable. But you know what? It is so worth it. To just see the day-to-day happiness in all of their lives is incredible and truly inspiring.

So my question for you today is this: are you doing what you really want to do? Are you pursuing your dream?

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: Happiness is the joy you feel when you are in pursuit of your full potential.

If you’re not in pursuit of your full potential, I challenge you today to think about what steps you can take to get you on your path towards your dream. And once you’ve thought about it, take action.

And once you’ve watched, please let me know about what dreams you are pursuing in the comments section below the video. Sometimes all it takes is to talk about a dream to get the ball rolling…and I’d love to hear from you.

By the way, my sister has written an awesome book on their incredible journey to the dream. It’s called Grape Expectations and is available on Amazon.com. Click here if you’d like an inspiring read. Her second book will be available in North America soon. Brilliant!

I’ll see you next week.

Sending love and strength,
