The truth is that the ability to produce wealth and achieve financial security comes from having personal security. If you have a great understanding for who you are, possess an unwavering belief in yourself, have confidence through positive self-talk and positive reinforcements, you give yourself the power to obtain the qualities that allow for financial security.
Happiness is not a byproduct of our personal success. I believe that our source of happiness should come through the connection we build with ourselves
Being too focused on one particular thing, even if it is beneficial, will actually slow you down in your personal development. Too much of one thing will prevent us from living the most effective life possible. You must find the right balance for yourself, and view your life as a democracy rather than a dictatorship. One thing cannot rule your life, you must be for the people or “the person”.
You can’t go back and rewrite your history, but you can create your future. The future is all you have to look forward to, so stop beating yourself up over your past and start envisioning your successful future.
Gratitude and perspective are complaint killers. Complaints don’t stand a chance when we have the right perspective and we consistently show gratitude.
I believe that we all have the ability to work towards a point where we can make major decisions the same way we make small moment by moment decisions, like what we are going to eat, what color shirt we are going to wear or what show we are going to watch on Netflix.
While I have pointed out that there is certainly nothing wrong with being a certain way or being known for one particular thing, I can’t help but think about the stagnation and complacency that comes along with that.
The process to happiness, just like becoming an athlete is a process and you have to focus in on the training. You must focus in on the things that make you happy. If nothing makes you happy then you must do some serious soul searching and step away from your daily routine to find your happiness. It may not make sense to others but ultimately it will be the most important thing you ever do in your life and will shape your actions and attitude for the remainder of your life.
