Travel Light, Be Forthright,
Shine Bright!
I believe we all originated from one, (JUST ONE) Happy Tribe ... that we used to live in harmony and we
were all in the same team! We wore the same color of “loincloth”. Fast forward 6,000+ years (or what-
ever your spiritual/scientific belief system is) today there are millions of different tribes. Family tribes,
community tribes, political “tribes”, business tribes, sports fan tribes, religious tribes. Some are friendly
and others are aggressive, which have caused our societies to be-
come less safe. We no longer wear the same color of “loincloth.”
Our need to CONNECT is as vital as our need for food
and water. In a variety of different studies from mammals
to humans: data suggests we suffer greatly when our
social bonds are threatened or severed. We thrive
when our relationships are close!
3 simple ways to increase Happiness
are to Travel Light, Be Forthright, and
Shine Bright!
RED LIGHT/TRAVEL LIGHT: We all
have stuff that weighs us down. Some of it
is physical stuff ... junk that we don’t need
in our life. Other weight is toxic, emotional
stuff. Travel Light is a warning, to
let it go, which will require for-
giveness. As we Travel Light,
this will improve our health,
our happiness and our re-
lationships!
