Moving back to the prairies where winters are cold and hearts are warming kind.

I do feel good when I'm giving from my heart and not out of obligation 😊

That it’s practices, not circumstances, and relationship development and support make sense. “Can’t do that in a vacuum”. 💕

Relationships sure can have an affect on you. I had a friend we talked everyday for 10 years. I helped her get a job, babysat her kids, etc. One day she just said I needed to find another friend. Later, I found out she had taken the job I just left and was telling them my secrets! She later told me she wanted to be me. I started to get panic attacks and my health got bad. Be careful who you let in your circle. I would have paid more attention for the signs early on.

"The Law of Happiness" was awesome. I've read it over and over.

I absolutely love this. I am like you, I get so excited when the science and the scriptures dovetail. Ancient wisdom never goes out of style.

This was so good!! I’m going to listen again. I’m sure I will glean even more revelation! I think that this will help so many people!! Thank you! Your teachings have changed my life!!

One of my fave books is “The Happiness Advantage” by Shawn Achor, Harvard Researcher. I hope I spelled that right. It is awesome! 😎 🤩 👏 He posits that as researches found, most folks put off happiness “until…” - until they get the raise - until they move out of state - get the degree… - get the raise - get the relationship they want… “Then”, they’ll be happy…. But what they found was that folks were already happy 😃 were much much more likely to be successful in achieving their goals! It actually works the other way around. In general, I’ve noticed that happy people leave a wake of positive feelings behind them. Like a renter who washes and replaces all the sheets and towels, does the dishes, cleans up, and leaves some fresh flowers for the owner in the VRBO. They leave the world better than they found it. Unhappy or bitter people tend to leave a wake of frustration, mistrust, anger, upset, or like lawsuits wherever they go. If you can change the wake you leave, your impression on the world that you make, I think you’ll be almost certain most of the time to reap the benefits of the fruits of the Spirit. Of course bad things will still happen but it might not affect you as badly ir for as long or as negatively. You can shake it off quicker and keep moving. If you get stuck in it, it’s like quicksand and will bring you down with a few folks you reach out to to help pull you up. Don’t let yourself more too long in the dumps. The quicker you get right back up on that horse, the faster you regain your sense of self balance and control.

If I had to choose between happiness and peace, I much rather have peace. Happiness is fleeting. It leaves when pain enters. While peace given by God, is a continual companion that meets inevitable grief and does not waiver.

The thing about codependent giving “becomes poison”. Whoaaaahhhooahw! Taking notes, here.

“Co-dependency” is nothing but serving non-Christians, outside the kingdom. And-nurses are, as a group, the happiest, healthiest and most mentally stable people I know. (I am from the Great lakes area.) iI have always wondered if this might be related to their lifetime of serving others.

THANK YOU!!!!! God Bless abundantly 😘

Thank you Dr Cloud

Research reveals human life's most meaningful success is determined by the QUALITY of folks close relationships ... QUALITY is subjective to the QUALITY of life practices

Amen Set point Love it!!

I love your work!! You helped me get through a very challenging time in my life. Thank you for all of your biblical wisdom backed by science. It makes me fall in love with God more and enjoy geeking out at the same time.🤓

Excellent 👍.

Brilliant 👏

I gave out His book , The Secrets Things of God ,They Loved it. A very Powerful DVD. Full of Life Thank You Dr.Cloud

Good morning doctor Cloud. What about when our life has been a continuation of extreme circumstances and the set point has no correlation or understanding of "steady"? Is there ever hope to have a reset? I appreciate your heart to help people heal. It's been a while since I read through your Boundaries book with Townsend. I think it's a good day to pick it up again. May you continue to find new and innovative ways to help people heal. My faith is under extreme doubt but I count it as future faith, as my incoming reward and I accept more understanding and healing as I go through this "dark night".

I LOVE THE QUESTION 🙋 " WHATS happiness mean to you".? 😮😮😃

Self determination or having a choice creates a sense or feeling of happiness. I wonder is there a corresponding neurotransmitters? Could it be oxytocin and would this be an example of self love? Thanks again for your work in helping people heal! I just finished Bessel Van Der Kulk's book. The Body Keeps the Score. I am curious to hear your thoughts on the book. Blessings to everyone who reads this. You matter!

this is brilliant, thanks Doc Henry!

Nothing trying to survive. Happiness and fun can fine

This is very interesting! Thank you.

Do codependence give to be seen? Or for the seemingly accolades associated or the praise with attention that can be used like a monument or plaque on the wall to remind people that they need to give to them because they are currently living behind. Or to appear helpful to the homeless or hurting when or while bragging about it whenever the spotlight turns to them? 20:23

I wish I could figure out how to happy. Haven't seen that for years if ever. Very small snippets in life😔

Are you famous?
