“To be happy, or not to be happy, that is the question.”

Being happy is not an easy state of being for many of us to achieve. And we are told by self-help gurus and well-intentioned friends and family members that you cannot try to become happier because it is not a destination, it is a state of “being.” Although it is not so clear how to “Be,” it does appear to have something to do with peace, quiet of mind as well as the ever-important feeling of gratitude for who you are and for people and things in your life. They often go on to say that happiness is not something you can pursue, even though the pursuit of it was vouched for in that American document from years ago.

But Let Us Look at the Context of this Moment in Time

We live in a world in which Americans and our allies are currently trapped in a country they do not want to be, as well as there are fires out of control in the U.S., storms, hurricanes, flooding and the Covid Variant Delta. And in two short days it will be the anniversary of one of the most horrific events ever both in actuality as well as symbolically, and one of great loss. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers to all the families and friends who have lost loved ones. And for those who are worried about the present and the future.

Not at this Time

This is not the right time for some messages but is spot on for the content of of communications. We ask that today and over the next few days that you tell the ones you love that you do, as well as pass along your own unique message of hope and compassion to as many people as you can.

In Closing

As you can see, what started out as us revealing a way we are working on to combine marketing with happiness, how not to pursue it but that it is a state of mind you do not consciously search for but picks when it will come to you. The choice to change the focus of this post midway, has made me for one, more happy.

Not to Be Trusted

New Yorkers know a thing or two about government and whether they are trustworthy or not. Unfortunately this administration is not to be trusted. With over 100 thousand cases and over 9 thousand dead, we’re not quick to jump on the bandwagon that everything is “okay” and that there is a “plan” to get back to work outside of home.

Changed Forever

New York has been changed forever, or at least for the next several years. Working from the home office has become a reality. Surprisingly the transition to this mode of working was made a lot easier than had been expected. New Yorkers stepped up and made it work. But now we are being told that leaving our homes soon is going to be ushered in.

Not Happening Anytime Soon

Not so soon. Think the plan through people. Those who are so-called cleared to be able to get back to the regular office can still be carriers to the at-risk population. It is simply not realistic that EVERY person is going to be able to take the test for COVID-19. We see through the so-called plan, recognizing that it is based on an attempt to look good for business, for the rich who are being inconvenienced by this because their workers are requiring an extra effort to be able to work from home. In New York working from home is not going anywhere soon because we’d rather not die.
