“I felt like I needed this trip, and I was there as part of a journey to find out what I am and should be doing with my life,” Eric says. “One morning we hiked up a mesa and met up with a prayer circle. I was able to join in and put my hands and feet onto the rocks. I looked above me as if to seek guidance from the universe. Then I felt something shift, as if the mountain itself were speaking to me and all the knowledge I could ever need was right there to tap into. I had been waiting for this epiphany for a long time. I came away from that experience changed and liberated, declaring ‘I am The Happiness Warrior.’ I knew it was time to rebrand my life with that aesthetic. There are so many things I can do to make a difference in this world, and I’m excited to tap into people’s hunger for happiness.”
