    A moment of balance

    We're aiming to make this year your best yet, with a weekly Moment of Balance, every Wednesday at 5:20, brought to you by The Work-Life Balance Institute for Women and Balance Magazine, helping you to Be Empowered, Be Inspired and Be Connected.

    A great goal for every day is to Be Happy.

    In 'The 100 Simple Secrets of Happy People', author David Niven recommends that you "choose your comparisons wisely. When we compare ourselves to those who have more than us, we feel bad. When we compare ourselves to those who have less, we feel grateful."

    Mind you, it's not about putting other people down. It's about appreciating what you do have, rather than what you don't have.

    Sick of your job? At least you have a job ... and you can always take on the exciting challenge of looking for one that's new and better!
    Got a roof over your head? You're better off than millions of people around the world.

    It's really a matter of perspective. Focus on what's good in your life, and see if you don't feel just a little bit happier right away.

    You'll hear more about Being Happy on LITE FM's Be You Radio this Sunday morning at 6, with hosts Liz Sterling and Maria Soldani of the Work-Life Balance Institute For Women.
