SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS

Success and Happiness is a new social activity group in Grants Pass. We have weekly Conversation and Connection events that focus on self improvement, making new friends and helping serve people in our community. The first event is Thursday April 10th at the Wild River Pub in Grants Pass and goes from 6 to 8 pm.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN SUCCESS PLAN
Benjamin Franklin developed a 13 week plan which he said was the secret to his success where he would focus on one virtue a week. He said trying to do all 13 at once would be overwhelming so instead he focused one a week which he found to be much more effective.

CONVERSATION AND CONNECTION EVENTS
Our Conversation and Connection events cover 12 life skills focusing one life skill each week like eating healthy, exercising and thankful living. We also have a week focusing on writing a new life script.

•       We break into small groups where people share their ideas on the topic of the week and how to use those ideas to make positive changes in their life.

•       Replacing bad habits with good ones – strengthening your life in different areas. Gain confidence.

•       These small group conversations also help connect people.

MONTHLY EVENTS, ACTIVITY GROUPS & VOLUNTEERING
We also plan monthly events like a dance and game night, Super Bowl party or attending an event like Boatnik as a group.

•       In addition to our weekly Connection and Conversation events we also encourage people to be active in other groups in our community. We have made a list of local groups that you can join from hiking to quilting and other activities.

•       We also have a list of local volunteer opportunities from the food bank to the animal shelter and more that you can join to help out in the community.

A SOCIAL BRIDGE FOR MAKING FRIENDS
Connection is hard to find in this internet age.

•       Our weekly events are like a social bridge that helps people connect in person.

•       Instead of trying to jump from one side of a river to the other it is much easier to walk across a bridge.

•       Conversations in person help people get to know each other and make friends.

INTERNET vs. IN PERSON DATING
Internet dating can be frustrating and it is hard to meet people in person.

•       People say there is no place or way to meet people to date these days except online.

•       Meeting people in person at our weekly events lets you get to know someone over time in a casual setting. It is a much better way to start and build a relationship.

•       You may also meet people who help who know people you could date.

NETWORKING FOR A JOB
If you are looking for a job networking can be more effective than sending out resumes.

•       If you meet someone at one of our events who works for a company that you’d like to work for they can help you get a job interview and recommend you.

•       Networking can also help advance your career or find a new career.
