What is the Purpose of Happiness?

What is the Purpose of Happiness?

Writing has a way of being therapeutic and offering solace to others who you just can’t always reach. In the wake of Junior Seau’s death, I am compelled to pen this. As a therapist who works with athletes, I am always reminded that they are people first and that is really what they do…they are people with human struggles! In church recently our pastor challenged us to really ask the right questions! Most time we ask people, “What do you do?” It seems so innocent but it feeds on our own insecurities about who we are and how we can but this new person in some type of box that our brain can process and handle. As the news will be reporting, Junior Seau had everything that the world thinks would bring you happiness. What people will eventually understand is that happiness is internal and breeds from within. Searching for it will leave you poor, desolate and angry! Truly in every situation, there is inherent good. How long will it take for others to realize that they are searching for something that is already within them and not the number of material things that one can amass? All of the sayings about the journey being the most rewarding are true. When I work with athletes about reaching and setting goals it truly is an exercise that provides a checklist for the journey! We all need those checks or the lifelong journey can become a little disheartening along the way. If you look at Junior Seau’s life and where his treasure was stored up it was in trying to help kids to find their passion and fulfill their goals!

Engela Hepworth

Professional Counselor

Hello, I'm Engela Hepworth

I am a Masters level professional counselor currently pursuing licensure as an LMSW. I specialize in Solution Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Psychotherapy.

I have a broad education base, having seen many parts of the world and diverse cultures. Beginning with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology in South Africa, I was also awarded a Bachelor's in Theology and Counseling while studying in London, UK. In the UK, I practiced as an accredited Licensed Counselor, helping individuals work through grief, loss, trauma and anxiety. I also assisted those suffering from addictions, OCD and depression. I am continuing my studies to become a CCTP (Certified Clinical Trauma Professional).

My passion is to see my clients - adolescents, adults, or families - work through difficult issues coming out stronger and ready to use the tools that they have learned to tackle future problems. I am a natural optimist and have a specific interest in helping those who have experienced trauma in their life. No trauma is too big or too small to work through. It will take time and hard work, but no trauma should hold us back from living the best life and realizing our fullest potential.

You may wonder if what you’ve been through could be considered trauma. The fact that you ask that question most probably means yes! You might have experienced an unexpected or unwanted divorce, loss of a child, an accident, something triggered a flashback, been a victim of a crime or abuse. One of my passions is to come alongside someone who is struggling and help process and overcome. I look forward to working and walking a journey with you!

How My Success Started

Mary Neuschweinstein, CEO of EthicPower Ltd.

In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum is common placeholder text used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as web pages, typography, and graphical layout. It is a form of "greeking".

Even though using "lorem ipsum" often arouses curiosity due to its resemblance to classical Latin, it is not intended to have meaning. Where text is visible in a document, people tend to focus on the textual content rather than upon overall presentation, so publishers use lorem ipsum when displaying a typeface or design in order to direct the focus to presentation. "Lorem ipsum" also approximates a typical distribution of letters in English.
