Here is a testimonial from Dan, a Good With Me community member, which exemplifies happiness just because.
“Growing up a redhead I was always the target of elementary taunts, making me feel like I was less of a person because of a simple hair color. It’s amazing the lasting effects childhood bullying can do to one’s psyche. When it came to high school and college my insecurities came full bore. Always caring what others thought of me and what I was doing. The ‘cool’ kids were drinking, so I was drinking. The ‘cool’ kids were smoking, so I was smoking. I was trying to be normal. After college I chased the money and society’s idea of success. I was being the person everybody wanted me to be. And there I was buying into it. Here’s the cliché catch though, all the success and money I could have didn’t fulfill my lack of insecurity. It didn’t get me true happiness. It was the equivalent to putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. I was living the idea of success on the outside but still tormented with insecurity on the inside.
The stress in our lives is what we create and is often the ending result of us worrying about others and their opinions. This past week I was surrounded by family and friends for a best friend’s wedding. Instantly they all could pick up on a new Dan. A stress free, happy and smiling Dan was the end result of the progress from working with Dr. Noll.
There were numerous times during this past week where I just found myself with an inner peace and happiness for no reason.
It’s amazing how simple and powerful being Good With Me can be on your outlook of life. By continuing to be positive at all turns of life, the life I live has been an absolute pleasure. When you are free from the confines of being judged, one can be happy with nothing but the clothes on his back. I have found this to be true and the resulting lack of inner turmoil produces a certain happiness that only those who truly embrace will know.”
Dan Lopez.
