The Magic — and Science — of Intentional Dreaming, with David Paul Kirkpatrick 🎧
As a young boy, David Paul Kirkpatrick learned firsthand about the power of intention and mindset. He’s been exploring it ever since……
My friends often wonder how I’m “always happy.”
Since I’ve never been good with the spoken word, I fail to explain that I’m not always happy. I’m just really skilled at staying away from sadness.

I don’t think happiness is a choice. Rather, choosing happiness is a skill.
And just like any other skill, you can practise it daily to get better at it. I wasn’t born being always happy. This is a skill I discovered in my journey through life.
Usually, in “How I did it and you can too” articles like this, the author is supposed to prove their advice worked for them (or for the subject of the case study they’re writing about).
But how do I prove the fact that I’m happy most of the time?
Maybe you can take a read through my articles and know a bit of my story? Grammarly would tell you that the tone in most of my articles from the past week is predominantly confident, optimistic, and friendly — all positive emotions.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t run away from sadness. Like happiness, it’s an integral part of life. What you can do is embrace it and not let it affect you. Even while surrounded by sadness, you still have the power to choose happiness, and that’s what this article is all about.
I’m going to share what I mean by the concept of always staying away from sadness. I’ll also define the happiness muscle, teach you how to identify it, and start working it out. I’ll share my personalised five-minute daily ritual of choosing happiness that you can adopt in your life. This works for everyone — irrespective of whether you start it today or in 2021, whether you are 60 or 16, whether you make a lot of money or are still looking for a job.
No matter who you are or where you live, you can start choosing happiness today.
The Happiness Muscle
But first, here’s some background. I’d read several studies that say a bad posture is responsible for giving you a backache. But try as I might, I couldn’t maintain a straight back. Slouching came naturally to me. Then, in July 2020, I started doing 30 minutes of abdominal exercises daily. My core muscles became so strong that now I can easily sit up straight for hours without having the slightest hint of backache.
The point I’m trying to make is — no matter where you think you’re lacking, if you work that particular muscle out, it will become strong, and life will get easier.
