The speaker seems unprepared and even looks a little nervous; very different from what he's advocating in the video.

Instructional Rating (1-5): 3

Projecting the main points on the screen is good, but he could have planned his speech to convey his message better.

Happiness swarms me in every area of my life.

I feel joy when the sun touches my face in the morning because I know I am alive. Smelling the wonderful aroma of coffee brewing and starting my day positively brings me great peace and serenity.

As I go through my busy day I think about the things that make me happy and I feel joy. In the evening as I lay my head down to sleep I can reflect on all the things that brought me joy today and I sleep peacefully.

There may be times in my life when I feel tired of the same-ol', same old, but I firmly remind myself that each moment is different if I only look to notice. I may get up at the same time each morning before I go to work but each day is unique. I may hear different birds sing or the joyful sounds of children’s voices as they get on the school bus. It is these small things in life that I can savor.

I take pleasure in the big exciting events in life. When I take a vacation or travel to the beach and even when the weekend comes. I also feel great joy at the more subtle events occurring everyday in my life.

Today I will take the time to notice the more delicate things that bring me joy. I will feel recharged with all of the gifts and pleasures my life contains. My life is full of joy and I will be good to myself and pay attention.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. What part of the day brings me the most joy?
2. What small thing can I notice today that brings me joy?
3. Have I taken the time to enjoy my day?
