In this episode of Hey Charles, Charles dives into the idea that happiness is not just a reaction but a conscious choice. He explains the power of reframing — shifting perspective on negative experiences to find learning or positivity instead of frustration.

Using examples like losing a business deal, Charles shows how changing focus from the failure itself to the lessons learned can create growth. He shares his personal experiment of reframing every negative event for a week, which dramatically improved his mood and outlook.

Charles emphasizes that small daily changes, like consuming uplifting media and building positive habits, lead to long-term transformation. His core message: consistent small wins, paired with reframing, can lead to lasting happiness and success
