Woman Gets PERFECT SCORE on The Happiness Test! | The Science of Happiness

From soulpancake.com – published August 2013

This is a very short video, just a couple of minutes, but wow, is it impactful. A woman named Mama Hill is interviewed after she scored a perfect score on a happiness test. They wanted to find out why she appeared to have achieved perfect happiness. I find her answer so beautiful. You really should take a couple of minutes to hear it. The video is linked just below so it’s easy for you to hear her message and at bottom of this page, I’ve constructed a transcript of her words as best I could. Enjoy.

Perfect Happiness? – Transcript

I created this transcript of Mama Hill’s words. I didn’t generally bother with the interviewers words. As far as I can tell, this transcript is correct.

Well, I’ll give you a very brief, little summary of what I do every morning when I wake up. I wake up, and I say this day I choose to be happy, well and complete. That’s first. I thank God for letting me get up. Then, I thank God for the fact that I have running water and a toilet, I have soap, I have toothpaste. There are people in the world who don’t have any of those things. And for food. Because sometimes we think oh, “I don’t think I can make it today”, “I don’t think I’m… uh…”, but we have to realise that we are truly blessed. Then I thank God for peace in my house. I have a peaceful house. And I meditate. And then, after I meditate and have my prayer, I, um, just say “ok God, how may I serve you today?” and “who can I help today?”. And, finally I watch cartoons. And when I watch the cartoons I wait for the answers I just asked. And that’s a very happy, beautiful day for me. Cause I don’t have any… cartoons don’t have any problem, there’s always an end to it, right? Something good happens at the end. And I have several cartoons that I watch, until my day begins. And so therefore, I don’t have an attitude. I’m glad to be here.

After being thanked…

“It’s my pleasure. You should watch cartoons!” – “(interviewer) I do! What’s your favourite?” – “Oh, my favourite is ‘Clifford the red dog'”

Hi, I'm Peter Whiting. For my whole life I've been a scientist, but my life has taken a new track. Starting about 8 years ago, I began to realise that so much of our standard way of living just isn't right. We need to become more aware, press the reset button and try to live life in the right direction.
