What you focus on expands! When you focus on happiness as the number one priority, your life changes. We see as we are not as others are.
Whether you are a business, community organisation, school or an individual – make happiness the intention and goal and watch your world change. This becomes The Way of integrating happiness into your life as a lived experience. The more you “feel” happy you will “see” happy to “think” happy, something amazing happens you start to realise the real world beneath the concepts and negativity you have become accustomed to believing was real. It is reinforced in the media, in discussions with others, in families as if negativity and drama is ‘who we are’, it is not.
Now some will say this is wishful thinking, pie in the sky or not the real world, yet Happiness! Australia is here to remind you – it is our true nature to be happy. Happiness is an internal signpost reminding you that you are aligned with what is true as a ‘felt experience’. The body intelligence always knows.
The more we practice happiness or we say fake it until you make it, you will build your happiness muscle and resiliency by learning and experiencing happiness every day. This opens your life to infinite possibilities and expands the vision of what you believe and then see.
Unhappiness is like a dark cloud obscuring what is possible, many believe they will not amount to anything, they are not worthy, they are never enough and look out upon a unkind and unfair world. Similar to joy, unhappiness is passed from one to the other creating an unsafe, uncaring and isolating experience due to the thoughts we all think.
Susan Carew-Holmes has clowned around the world and with Dr Patch Adams in Russia. She has experienced that joy is not wishful thinking but a practice in her own life where you learn to BE and see differently.
The happy sad clown depicts the positive and shadow side of people. Carl Jung, the famous swiss psychologist who spoke of the light and the shadow within the unconscious. We are in a perennial search for happiness yet our lives can be impacted by unconscious denials, repressions and ego that inhibits our full potential.

Susan aka Peace Fool has visited refugee camps (50,000) and entertained with juggling, laughter and play. She has visited hospitals around the world to invite laughter amidst pain and unwellness. She has clowned with kids dealing with physical or mental challenges. She has brought happiness into dark places, as it is our nature to laugh particularly when times are tough.
The funships are to unmask your joy. They are designed to open a inner inquiry and comm-unity discussion into ‘what makes us feel truly happy?’
The funships are for everyone. Particularly vital those who are finding life challenging, gloomy and unable to see a positive future.
Susan has been there and shares the idea ‘fake it till you make it’ what this means is even if you don’t feel like it, give it a go to watch others being silly. As you come into a group of positive people amazing things happen. This is the REAL HOPE you are looking for.
So the community is invited to come and have a good laugh and reconnect to the ‘child’ within.

Be the change we wish to see in the world is what Gandhi inspired.
Testimonials:
Therefore:
If you want a cooperative, happy and peaceful world you must be the example of it. Mohandas Gandhi said: “Be the Change you Wish to See in the World” It is a work in progress. You can choose to walk the talk or pretend happiness to make others happy. It is only when you change yourself the world you see changes. We are a reflection of each other.
When other’s see you are happy, they will be attracted to you. They will wonder why you are different? You can smile and tell them you are choosing to BE happy, you are living in The Way that reflects ‘who you are’.
So what makes you feel happy? Come to a funship and find out.
If you find this contagious. Pass it on.
En-joy.
