I talk to many people when I visit sites. It is always interesting to listen to those who have been doing FIFO for years and loving it. ‘How is it you are so happy?’ I often ask.
The answers I get are enthusiastic and varied but are captured in these 8 essential ingredients for happiness:
- Be sure to have something you love doing and is a passion.
- Get connected and belong to something bigger than yourself.
- Focus on others, give and contribute instead of just thinking about yourself.
- Be flexible and open to change.
- Enjoy variety & the unexpected & get involved!
- Focus on what is going well, be grateful and do things to actively increase feeling good.
- Enjoy and BE in the moment rather than focusing on the past or the future.
- BE happy, that is make the choice to think, feel and be happy!
