In this enlightening episode of "Create Forward for Elite Creators," host Ward Andrews delves into the nuanced landscape of happiness and how it intertwines with the creative process. Titled "Happiness is Easy," this episode explores the intriguing concept that while elite creators (EC) find themselves in a state of flow 75% of the time, there's a remaining 25% where external factors or internal emotions might disrupt this harmony. Ward discusses the importance of recognizing that happiness isn't a constant state, but rather a dynamic experience that ebbs and flows.

Listeners will be guided through the understanding that it's natural not to feel happy all the time, and more importantly, that these moments of sadness, fear, doubt, or worry are transient. Ward emphasizes the danger of dwelling on these negative emotions, explaining how it can expand their impact and inadvertently feed into them, turning a temporary feeling into a seemingly permanent state.

The episode challenges the notion that happiness is hard to achieve, suggesting instead that the effort should not be in avoiding unhappiness but in committing to happiness. Ward shares insights on how the perspective with which we view our world - our "happy eyes" or "glasses" - can fundamentally change our experience of it. By celebrating what works and consciously choosing happiness over misery, we can navigate the creative journey with resilience and joy.

Tune in to "Happiness is Easy" for a thought-provoking discussion that not only sheds light on the emotional landscape of elite creators but also offers practical advice on embracing happiness as a choice, not a chance occurrence. Whether you're deep in your creative flow or navigating the challenges outside of it, this episode is a reminder that happiness, indeed, can be easy.
