Episode 506: Wonder and Ponder HL506

About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of wondering and pondering in living a happy life.

A couple of quotes from today's episode. "Sometimes we get so busy focusing on the physical that we forget the rest of it all." "Wondering and pondering are vital to really living." This is especially true if we want to live a Happy Life. One of the easiest ways to get to wondering is by wandering. Giving ourselves space to just walk. Not to think. Not to do. To just be. Because we wonder as we wander, but we don't wander when we wonder. We would also like to give a special thanks to James Kocian, for the use of his amazing songs "Light As A Feather", "More Beautiful", "NPRrrr Music Box" and "NPRrrr Synth". Check out more of his amazing stuff here www.JamesKocian.com or here www.Facebook.com/jameskocianmusic and tell him thanks from Happy Life Studios. The song we used for the intro was "Are You Happy" by Primitive Radio Gods. The ending song was "Make Someone Happy" by Jimmy Durante. We don't own any rights.
