In this episode, Christina Martini and Kass Thomas discuss:Kass’s newest book, Dancing with Riches. Finding joy and happiness in our lives. Generosity of spirit for yourself and others. Being present in all things and all places.  Key Takeaways:You do not have to do anything specific to achieve joy and happiness. It is about being yourself. Recognize and acknowledge what it is in your life that is so vital that without it you wouldn’t be happy. Acknowledge what it is that brings you joy. COVID is inviting flexibility, alterations, creative capacities, and risk taking, not to get sick, necessarily, but taking risks to see not how you might fail, but how you not only survive, but you can thrive.Don’t sweat the small stuff…and it’s all small stuff. This too shall pass.  "If you're willing to acknowledge what your gifts are, then your relationship with yourself, with your body, with other people, with money, with business allows you to not seek a purpose in life to reach a goal until you live your life purposefully." —  Kass Thomas About Kass Thomas: Kass Thomas is a successful business entrepreneur, motivational speaker and empowerment coach.
