3 Secrets to Use Your Voice to Create Your Happiness Now
Know your voice. Use your voice.
Who is your favorite singer? Why? Do you enjoy them more in person when they are performing in a huge concert arena or on a recording as you enjoy a personal concert in the privacy of your own home?
What is it about them that draws you to them? Is it actually the timbre and range of their voice, or the lyrics, or perhaps the power of their presence?
What about your voice? It is so much more than your musical talent. It is so more than the words you speak, your pacing, or your tone of voice.
Let’s explore 3 Secrets to Use Your Voice to Create Your Happiness Now.
First, let’s identify your voice and what it is and then how you can use it to create your happiness.

- Take the mask off. It uses emotional energy that can be used in so many more productive ways, starting with things like healing from past emotional trauma.
- Own who you are and where you are. Circumstances do not define you. Choices do. Own them.
- What are you doing today to improve your life, the lives of those around you, or the world?
- Stand up to bullies. These are those people who make condescending remarks, who are emotionally abusive, or seek to diminish you or someone else, thinking that doing so makes them better or more powerful by comparison.
- Tell your story to yourself and to others when it serves a worthwhile purpose.

- Create your personal definition of happiness. Is it about a fun day at an amusement park or living with purpose? Is it a combination of both of those or something else completely? Define it.
- Removing the mask can be scary but how could doing so make you happier?
- Embracing who you are and where you are will remove self-judgment. Self-judgment is one of the biggest sources of unhappiness.
- Rejecting the judgments of others (especially the bullies) allows them to have their opinion without it impacting you. Feeling judged by others is a primary source of unhappiness.
- Using your story for good brings joy and satisfaction. It means that leaving feelings of shame, guilt, or victimhood also leaves the stress associated with them behind.
As you do this you will feel as though that albatross you have been carrying on your back forever has fallen away. You feel free. You feel happy. No mask required.
Bonus Tip
When you own your voice, it not only brings happiness, but it all brings inner peace. Your history does not define you and yet so often it is the source of our unhappiness. You may have been victimized by another. You may have made poor life choices. We all have things where we wished we could qualify for a “do-over”.
It’s not an option. Heal from experiences as necessary. Learn for the past. Live in today. Today’s choices will determine tomorrow’s circumstances. These are the choices that open the door to happiness. Open it wide and enjoy.
