Being a Minimalist Might Not Make You Happy I’ve always believed that less is more. A less complicated life is a good life. If that’s the case, you would think that in an age of tiny homes and minimalist attitudes everybody would be as happy as a clam. Over the years, I’ve learned happiness can be hidden somewhere within the stuff that makes up our crazy life. When you get rid of your stuff - you get rid of something that makes you happy. Is it possible that the things you love to complain about also make the happiest? Here’s a simple rule. If something in your life is making you happy, keep it. When it stops making you happy, drop it. If in doubt, don’t worry about it. You’ll figure it out.

Using Natural Law to Be Your Best
Personal growth is a journey. It can be a lot of work. It’s also more fun to follow the rules of ‘Natural Law.’
1) The Law of Vibration states that thoughts are things. They are one of the most potent forms of energy. What you think about, you bring about. Pay attention to your thoughts.
2) According to the Law of Polarity, nothing exists without an opposite. Love, hate, hot, cold, yin, and yang. Opposites are different forms of the same thing. Embrace them.
3) The Law of Rhythm states life is a pendulum. What swings left must swing right.  
4) Every effect must have a cause; every cause must have an effect. That’s the Law of Cause and Effect. Everything in life is perpetual and never-ending.
You can speed up your success by understanding how these always-present forces are at work in your life.

Using Natural Law to Be Your Best

Your Desire Comes From Their Desire
Not a day passes by without someone asking, "How do I get another person to help me get what I want?"
Persuading others is one key to getting what you want in life—and here's a big secret: It's NOT about you!
You'll get what you want faster by focusing on how you can help others solve their problem - and "Ladder of Desire."
This is how it works:
1) Most folks lecture others. That's a low level of communication and rarely builds a real connection.
2) A more practical solution is to show others the way and explain how to solve their problem. 
3) The most potent way is to offer to take care of their dilemma. That is the top rung of the 'Ladder of Desire.' Everybody wants their problems to disappear. Make that happen, and you'll be a Hero!
When you follow this approach, you make friends, prove your value, and are more likely to have your favor returned. Do good first.

Your Desire Comes From Their Desire

Why Next Week Begins This Week
I have a saying -
“Next year begins THIS year. Next month begins THIS month. Next week begins THIS week.”
If you want to stay on track, accomplish your goals, and enjoy life more - you MUST take control of your calendar. It’s easier than you think:
1) Life will come at you FAST! Schedule any significant and can’t-miss life events at least one year in advance. Put it on the calendar and block it out. You can always change your mind.
2) Hold your space. Decide in advance what you will be doing with your days. When will you work on projects? When will you see clients? When will you have fun? 
3) Conclude each week by securing your schedule for the next - and adhere to it. Consistency is key. 
The future is always brighter when your day-to-day focus fulfills your goals this week. Focus, my friend. Focus.

Happy No Matter What
Would you like to be happy every day of the week? 
Maybe it's time to start thinking like a happy person.
There's no magic to being happier.
Rose-colored glasses are not required.
Just start looking at your day-to-day life the way a happy person does.
Give this a try:
1) Accept that merely being alive means encountering occasional challenges.
2) Realize that dealing with challenges is a privilege that comes with being alive.
3) Welcome frustration. That means that you are not satisfied and are beginning to make adjustments.
4) Accept responsibility for solving your challenges. Run forward and fix them as soon as possible.
5) Deal with everything that life throws at you. Get a great night's sleep. Have another great day tomorrow.
It's amazing how that kind of mindset makes most challenges never show up in the first place.

Happy No Matter What

Prioritize Yourself First
If you spend any time listening to me, it won’t take long before you hear me screaming from the top of the mountains to ignore the agenda and propaganda-filled world we live in and focus on yourself. 
Here’s the truth...
Nobody is thinking about you and what you do. That means you need to pay attention to yourself because everybody else is busy with themselves.
Some folks find that way of thinking difficult because society makes you believe you must do what everybody else does to be successful. But lets think about that for a minute.
Is everybody more successful than you, or is everybody in the same boat?
If you are being honest, you know the answer. 
So, who is more successful than you?
It’s those crazy people that are out in front leading the masses. You know, the ones who paid attention to what they wanted, ignored what others thought, took action, and convinced everybody else to support them on their mission.
Here’s another truth…
Like they say, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me!” But never forget, when you think about yourself first, you’ll have more time to think about others too.
