7 Essential Keys to Happiness

Do your stormy clouds have a silver lining?

Being unhappy is a bummer.

Seven keys to finding happiness are offered in a recent LinkedIn article by Contributing Editor Jeff Haden, 7 Essential Habits of Happier People (How Many Do You Possess?)

According to Haden, “Everyone wants it, yet relatively few seem to get enough of it, especially those in their early forties. (That’s about the time many of us start thinking, ‘Is this all there is?’)”

How are you doing? I found myself asking this same question when I turned 40. Fortunately, I was utilizing all of Haden’s seven recommended tips and was ready to answer life’s questions.

It’s remarkable how many of our clients come to us in the midst of a “stormy emotional or physical situation.” They’re dealing with a major illness, a breakup, or other lifestyle transition. Maybe they’re downsizing their life by selling the huge house, or the kids left home and the empty nesters want to explore the world.

The unifying motivation is our clients are seeking to fulfill a life-long dream. In fact, I can’t think of one client who ISN’T seeking, or being forced through, a major life transition.

Hofmann Architecture offers hope and guidance in helping people realize a dream that can come true. We are about helping people find freedom, adventure, comfort, and simpler way of living their lives.

Regardless of where people are in life, building an Airstream for our clients represents something positive for them — something that’s much bigger than a crafty 140 sf mobile aluminum space.

The grey clouds might be as small as uncertainty or as big as cancer. Regardless of the storms of life we have the privilege of being a silver lining.
