TEE 024: Happiness Is A Choice – Myra Goldick

Myra Goldick

Happiness is a choice. As you choose to be happy you are tapping into an edge that others overlook. In episode 24 of The Executive Edge podcast Myra Goldick shares her expertise and experience on how to choose happiness.

Myra Goldick authored “Focused, Unstuck, and Back in Action” and “Dancing on our Disabilities” and co-authored “Mastering the Art of Success.”

As a child, she struggled to overcome a dysfunctional family life, extreme poverty, substance abuse, and homelessness. Paralyzed by polio and meningitis at the age of ten, Myra found herself unable to move one single muscle. Initially she was totally dependent on her mother for her every basic need. Through rehabilitation, surgeries, passion, and perseverance, she regained some of her mobility. Driven by a desire to succeed she finished school, married, and built a successful career in corporate America. Later in life, she experienced a total role reversal when she became her aging mother’s caregiver, while at the same time struggling to manage post-polio syndrome.

Today Myra is a speaker, author, professional artist, coach, and Internet talk radio host of two shows, and a disability advocate for both the challenged and the caregivers. Myra’s motto is “happiness is a choice regardless of the challenges life creates.”
