Happy Bucket challenge

When I was younger, I carried a weight of bitterness.

I'd snap, judge, and was quick to think the world was against me. Deep down, I wasn't happy with myself, though I hadn't yet realized it.

I was missing a crucial understanding of happiness, acceptance, and owning my life's outcomes.

One transformative day, my father looked me in the eye and said, "Rhonda, if you continue this way, you'll never truly value yourself."

But he made me see that success wasn't just about personal achievements. He said, "The world reflects what we give. Right now, that chip on your shoulder is your biggest obstacle."

Then he gave me a challenge.

He told me to imagine holding buckets of happiness and to splash that joy onto everyone I met as I walked.

To my surprise, after trying it out, the world greeted me with warmth and smiles.

From then on, I committed to a happier, more positive perspective.

My journey led me to books like "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale and "The Celestine Prophecy".

Today, our family's motto is:

"Happiness Is a Choice, and its only Found Within, so open it up and splash as many people as you can in your path.”

This "Happy Bucket Challenge" changed my life, and now my families, and had become a global movement. I used to share it on stage with thousands of people….

I think it’s time to bring it back out.

What do you think?

I found a video of when Hanalei Swan and I did it the first time 10 years ago I put it in comments.
