READ… into what it takes to recklessly abandon grief by studying the lyrics of the “Doctorates of Empathy” songwriters who capture a thrilling emotion story as if each carefully selected line of words gives you a carefully selected picture of a thousand feelings
The 6 Pack of Reckless Abandon is the first half of pounding down your 12 Pack of Feel-Good Freedom from grief. It is a 12 pack that is jumpstarted by taking a courageous leap into your unknown "new normal." Happiness Level 4 is the escape plan where you leave your grief behind, permanently, by leaping headfirst into the vast unknown. Escaping grief's prison digs you out of your hole to the point you find yourself standing on the parapet of grief's depression staring into the abyss. To fully escape the clutches of grief you must take a giant…
Leap of FAITH is defined by Dr. Martin Luther King as, "taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." Those who have undying faith have complete trust & confidence in their father who does his artwork in heaven. Faith is not complicated. Faith is more than a feeling, it is a 7th sense that brings the soul to life & extinguishes emotional turmoil. It is a peaceful belief that lasts for an eternity. Faith was born & bred in American hearts of those who truly believe "In God we Trust.” It goes with the territory for those brave souls who muster the courage to repeatedly take a leap of faith into the vast unknown.
It's sad that the widespread economy of dozens of religions too often materially & financially ruins the simplicity (and beauty) of having undying faith. Undying faith requires no religious affiliation, but the dedicated soul doctors of religion definitely provide FREE guidance on how to find your faith. Unlike those who have faith in science & have to pay dearly for mental health care.
With so many who have no faith, we had no choice but to add stages 2-6 to the 6 Pack of Reckless Abandon. Having faith at its core is nothing more than having complete trust & confidence is someone or something. If you have no faith it means you have no trust or confidence in anyone or anything. Therefore, you still have the options to trust their Karma, try their luck, take a chance, hope for the best & plan for the worst or simply be defiant.
We added stages 2-6 because those who have undying faith, make it a point to leave no man or woman behind who is suffering in mental anguish. Those who have undying faith have faith in humanity. Undying Faith is drinking from the fountain of everlasting life, quenching the thirst of true meaning, making those who believe, no longer afraid of the unknown. It also gives them the strength to circle back and help those who are lost in the darkness.
Leap of KARMA was included for those peaceful souls who believe in fate and trust their karma.
Leap of LUCK of the draw was added for those willing to try their luck to get out of grief once & for all.
Leap of CHANCE is the flip of a coin that gives grief victims the courage to finally take a chance to escape grief and find happiness, somewhere else.
Leap of HOPE is the inspirational stage that lifts up those who are down & out and gives them the courage to start fresh.
Leap of DEFIANCE is the last stage for those sick & tired of being put down and treated like a lesser person. This is for those fearless souls who stand up to their grief & refuse to follow orders from someone else anymore. Those who defy gravity and are willing to do or die to be free.

LEVEL 3 - 6 Pack of Taking Control
for those diagnosed & triaged with a TAKING CONTROL (of their one-and-only-life) Condition
In the emotional battle for Humankind, this 6 Pack of Taking Back Control from grief is generated by a burning desire for freedom that is natural part of our human DNA. It is the fighting spirit we all have within us, to seize the day. The 6 pack for taking control is a now or never fight to fearlessly live like we're dying.

"It's my life, it's now or never, I ain't gonna live forever, I just want to live while I'm alive." ~ Bon Jovi.
READ... into the 6 Pack of Taking Control to the point you refuse to let grief control your life ever again
The 6 Pack of Taking Control is the power punch for finally standing up against Grief. Grief is a bully. If you do not stand up to grief, grief will own you for the rest of your days. What makes this so strange? Grief is an invisible bully, a Bogeyman. Grief's power is generated by fear.
“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” — Nelson Mandela
Stage 1 - NOW OR NEVER is the moment in time where you realize it's now or never to take back control of your life and start living like their is no tomorrow.
Stage 2 - FIGHT is feeling of determination that nothing will stop you from chasing your dream come true. You will fight grief with all your heart & soul.
Stage 3 - FEARLESS is the stage where fear is no longer a factor. You're thankful for one more day. You press forward unafraid of a grief raid.
Stage 4 - LIVE is a choice for those who are tired of dying inside and start to live everyday like they are dying.
Stage 5 - ENJOY is the moment of clarity where you no longer have to wait to enjoy your one and only life. You begin to simply enjoy the emotional rollercoaster show right now.
Stage 6 - ESCAPE is the confidence booster shot where you stand your ground against grief. Grief will never give up trying to lock you up in an emotional sad prison. You escape by turning your back to grief and riding away free & clear. You escape grief by seeing the light ahead instead of darkness you left behind. You're ready, willing and ability to climb any mountain you want.
You might wonder, how is Stage 6 of Taking Control (Escape) different from the many escape hatches of grief's prisons? This is a great question. What is different is even though you escaped grief's prisoner of war camp you will always be on the run from grief. Grief is tracking you day & night ready to pounce and put you back in prison shackles as soon as possible. This is why taking control's great escape is where you imagine & harness an impossible dream you will chase come hell or high water. "There's a mountaintop that I'm dreaming of, if you need me you'll know where I'll be." This is the secret to happiness. The way to beat grief is to focus on doing something only you believe can be done. Level 3 is where you imagine your impossible dream and Level 2 & 1 of Happiness (the 5 Stages of Euphoria) is where you set out to chase & capture that dream. Chasing an impossible dream is the sure-fire way to put grief in your rearview mirror.

The Secret to Happiness - Chasing an Impossible Dream Clarification
At ABC’s of Happiness “impossible dreams” range from dreaming small, medium, to larger than life dreams that reach for the stars. Small dreams can take months to capture. Medium dreams might take years. Impossible dreams might take decades to finally achieve what only you believe is possible. The longer the chase, the sweeter the taste of capturing that dream. Just imagine what it is like to wake up everyday with a passionate plan to move one step closer to capturing your one-and-only impossible dream. You're entire being is focused on what lies ahead which means you have no time to think about the nightmares you are leaving behind.
The word "impossible" was carefully selected to define the dreams the ABC's of happiness is recommending you chase. Impossible: "not able to occur, exist, or be done." If you grew up in poverty the odds are stacked against you and the world will tell you it is impossible for you to ever "break free." If you have no skills or are uneducated the odds are stacked against you and the world will tell you it is impossible you to ever "succeed." Now logic tells us, that all you need to capture an impossible dream is to "break free" and it is impossible that you will not "succeed."
Let's say you always dreamed of seeing the Grand Canyon, but life got in the way, and you just couldn't make it happen. Let's consider you had an impossible dream of losing 60 pounds, but nothing seemed to work. Let's imagine you dreamed of becoming an Astronaut. Our point is the size of the impossible dream does not matter. Set your sights on an impossible dream no matter how big or how small and chase that dream like there is no-tomorrow.
What you will discover is the 5 Stages of Euphoria journey can & will make you happy long before you come close to capturing your dream come true. It is the VISION QUEST that will bring you everlasting joy & happiness. Imagine what it is like to be working & thinking every day about chasing an impossible dream you are dying to capture. It has you waking up each day taking one small step to your giant leap of an impossible dream come true.
And here is the cool thing about chasing impossible dreams. Maybe the only way to fulfill your smallest dream is to take time off work & walk to the Grand Canyon, and in the process, you manage to lose 60 pounds along the way. All of a sudden you qualify for the space program. While your waiting to hear back from NASA you get your pilots license. Worst case scenario you fail to become an astronaut and end up getting a job flying a crop-duster over the green, green grass of home. Or maybe you blow out your knee in Flagstaff on your way to the Grand Canyon and you meet the love of your life, and you forget you ever wanted to see a giant hole in the ground or see the earth from outer space.
Our point it simple. Pick an impossible dream, any dream, and go for it like there is no-tomorrow. Keep your head up and pay close attention to the new surroundings you get to experience for the very first time. Embrace the feelings of trying to do the impossible by chasing endless possibilities. The miracle of chasing an impossible dream is no matter what the original vision quest, there is an excellent chance you will end up capturing an impossible dream you could have never imagined. It is the "can't be done" journey that makes life worth living & capturing an impossible dream the dessert. Most important, even if you fail daring greatly, you extinguished grief nightmares and replaced them with dreams of things that lie somewhere over the rainbow. This means you win even if you fail.
A dreamer by definition is "a person who is unpractical or unrealistically aiming for perfection." It may be true that aiming for perfection is impossible, but what is possible is aiming to capture an impossible dream that is perfect for you. This means any and all dreamers inherently believe they can chase an impossible dream and capture their own slice of perfection, their own slice of heaven. Throughout the history of humankind, dreamers have been proving the possible to those ne'er-do-well's trapped in their own its impossible prison.
But before you can begin the ABC's of Happiness incredible journey to Sensational Happiness, you must first smoke a peace pipe with your grief and lay your nightmares to rest, so they rest in peace.

When all is said and done - 11 Stages of Sensational Happiness is the key that unlocks the secret to happiness
The ABC's of Happiness knowingly & intentionally set out to overwhelm viewers emotions, feelings & senses not with Too Much Information (TMI) that took decades to package into a one day session, but with Beautiful Emotions, Feelings & Sensations (BEFS). Too many people think the best way to survive in a cruel world is to turn off all human emotions & robotically live an unemotional life void of feelings & sensations. No feel, no harm. Being cold-blooded & heartless is a direct result of surrendering to grief. We consider this to be unacceptable behavior from a human standpoint. Unacceptable in the fact that life is too precious to miss the Magical Mystery Tour Rollercoaster Ride of sharing emotions.
This is why the final exam to graduate as a Happiness Freedom Fighter is printing the two 11 Stages of Sensational Happiness graphics and posting them on your wall. These critical elements to the ABC's of Happiness serve as a daily reminder that happy people still suffer grief, have emotional highs & lows, but they know how to escape and the two graphics are constant reminders of the grief escape hatches. Once you know the escape hatches out of grief you can skip the anger, rage, shock, trauma, depression and all the painful stages of grief and jump directly to the escape hatch to dig your way out. The 11 Stages of Sensational Happiness has highs & lows but those ups & downs pulsate between feeling good & feeling sensational.
The definition of happiness does not do it justice. As defined, all it takes to be happy is being satisfied & content. In reality the only way to be truly happy is to feel the absence of grief. This means being happy means you feel no anger, no rage, no hatred, towards anyone of anything. To us happiness can be defined, as having complete peace of mind.
Listening to the 11 Stages of Sensational Happiness soundtrack whenever you need to is the best reminder to every single word, picture, illustration or graphic on this entire site. It is the cheat sheet you carry with you whenever you go and whatever you do. It is the greatest gift we can give to Humankind. Showing others the many stages of sensational happiness is our drug free cure to sharing the greatest human emotions of all, empathy.
The cure for grief is happiness. Therefore, it goes without saying that happiness is the absence of grief.
