At my age I'm always looking for life hacks.

One definition of a life hack... 

"A life hack is defined as any trick that presents itself as a productive shortcut which increases efficiency and productivity in any field of life."


In the midst of our society moving blatantly and insidiously into a very dark place, I was looking for some light for the New Year.

I came across this during my early morning research session:   https://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/100-life-hacks-that-make-life-easier.html

BUT.... this really got my attention:

According to Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, psychology professor and science of happiness expert, what is the percentage breakdown of the factors that determine our general happiness?

50% - Genetic setpoint – it’s what you are born with.
10% - Life Circumstances – accidents, unforeseen events.
40% - Our Intentional Actions and Thoughts – 40% of your happiness is in your control.

Remember... Happiness is a place between too little and too much.
