How To Succeed In Life…

Leave a comment

It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.  – Napolean Hill

happy?

Our level of happiness is the truest measure of success. Are we happy with us? Are we happy with others? Are we happy at our jobs? These questions are applicable to businesses too. Is the company we work at a happy place? Is the CEO and management happy? Even the profit motive that underscores all of Capitalism is meant to create happiness, eventually. Happiness is the end goal!! Right?

others

If we’re focused on self we won’t be very happy. Why, because we’ll be narrow-minded and not consider others in our happiness equation. The Universe is focused on everyone and everything. It seeks the highest good for everyone. To gain God’s cooperation in our lives, we must be focused on a cause that’s greater than self. A profit-centered business will be greater if it pursues a larger societal goal as well. This principle applies at both the micro and macro levels…

Nothing else in your experience responds as quickly as your own physical body to your patterns of thought. – Abraham

thoughts

The latest research is affirming the power of thoughts on our bodies. Why do married folk, as they age, start looking like each other? It’s probably because we constantly see each other. Why does medicine work differently for different people? Maybe because of our unique thinking patterns.

Think Yourself Well, an Economist Magazine article, shows how staying calm and positive will have a beneficial impact on the Vagus Nerve in the body which in turn can affect overall well-being. The study also shows how meditation plays a major role in supporting overall health.

healthy!

Even scientists are now starting to understand why our thoughts are so important. Will we learn and use our most effective tool in ways that supports us rather than hurts us?

How To Be Happy!

Leave a comment

Uplift everybody and uplift yourself! – Yogi Tea

us first?

We seek to maximize our personal happiness and security. And for that reason we can be selfish. Even though happiness lies inside us the path inward might begin out there!

them first

If we spend time thinking of others first, making them happy, giving others hope, pointing out the silver lining to others, then we feel better. A long string of studies including one 2000 person study (referenced in book below) found that ‘acts of altruism—giving to friends and strangers alike—decrease stress and strongly contribute to enhanced mental health’. So let’s make others happy first!

What’s Our Life Purpose?

Leave a comment

The sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.  – Carl Jung

life purpose?

When we’re floundering in life and don’t quite know where we’re headed, what we’re really looking to find is our life purpose. We do have a fairly specific life purpose and can work towards discovering it if we so choose. However we also have a very basic life purpose…

bring joy

Our purpose is to bring joy to others. We may do this as spouses, as kids, as parents and as friends. We can also do so as citizens of this planet. If we simply hold this purpose high in our daily consciousness, we’re guaranteed a supremely happy life. What else is there?

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM a bringer of joy!

How Action Opens Up Possibilities…

Leave a comment

The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react. – George Bernard Shaw

decisions & action

When we decide to do something we’ve decided to move forward. We’ve resolved that we can’t stay stuck and that to move is to truly live! What is change except the movement of things, ideas and time itself? We’ve decided to embrace change when we act!

action

3rd Basic Technique in Analyzing Worry: Once a decision is reached, act!!

As we act and start moving, innumerable possibilities begin to open up to us. It’s like plunging a hand into a giant piggy bank and grabbing what we can. The universe is abundant and we’re poor only if we don’t jump in!

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM going to act!
