I was born in the image and the likeness of a powerful god, and you were too... Go, get your guidance from somebody that doesn't struggle with it.
What does happiness truly mean to you? In this episode of 'Powerless To Powerful', Mark Mascolo dives into the essence of happiness and satisfaction in the journey of recovery. He recalls a pivotal moment when his counselor asked him, 'Mark, what makes you happy?' This question sets the stage for a deep exploration into the three essential elements needed to define happiness for oneself.
Mark emphasizes that happiness is a 'present moment emotion'—you can't feel it in the past or future; it's all about the now. Mark shares his personal struggles of fluctuating between ecstatic highs and miserable lows early in his recovery. Through these experiences, he discovered the keys to genuine happiness and satisfaction. One of his main points is the importance of making peace with your past and avoiding actions that don't lead to desired outcomes.
He also highlights the courage required to envision your ideal life and strive to become the best, most powerful version of yourself. Mark's approach is grounded in his own experiences and thorough research, offering a strengths-based, principles-focused pathway to recovery. He encourages listeners to take a happiness and satisfaction survey available on his website, which can provide new insights and raise awareness about different possibilities.
This episode isn't just about finding joy; it's about reclaiming your power and crafting a fulfilling life. Mark's message is both inspiring and practical, reminding us that we were born in the image of a powerful being and can seek guidance from those who have overcome similar struggles. If you're looking to redefine happiness and satisfaction in your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
