If you're striving for success so that you can be happy then you're barking up the wrong tree. Although a popular belief, science has proven this to be inaccurate. Happiness is the precursor to success, in life, in work, in hobbies, in everything, not the other way around. Happiness is what fuels performance and achievement.So, what is happiness and how do we cultivate it? In this episode, I will be sharing with you:- What happiness actually is- The science behind how it fuels success- Simple practical tips that you can start to apply today to help increase your happiness and start to see the success rolling in#brightwellbeing #alwaysdreamingbigger #followthefeeling #happyandwhole #wellbeing #happiness #personal growth #mental health #selfimprovement #improvement #howtobehappy #personaldevelopment #mindset #mindfulness #inspiration #successmindset #motivation

Do you find that you keep going back to old habits? Do you get frustrated that your energy and focus are pulled away often? Do you feel like you're floating through life, every day is the same, you have no real direction, and life is happening to you?

In this episode, I describe to you how you can avoid this, how to create your vision of what you do want and how having a future vision can help you sustain the chaos of transformation. I also share the need for a future vision during this time as our world splits into 2 realities (Bifurcation), to ensure that you can go into the miraculous reality and not the reality of struggle and pain.

In order to experience the version of life that you want, you need to know what that is so that you can bring it into manifestation, otherwise, you have no idea where to put your focus and energy.

And if you don't consciously direct it then your past traumas and suppressed emotions will attract a replica of the future that you never wanted the first time around.

The Power of Future Vision and Transformative Change

In this episode, I dive into the importance of having a clear vision for your future and how it can shape the course of your life. Without a strong vision, you fall into the trap of enabling your past experiences to attract the same old shit all over again. I’ll walk you through the process of turning your vision into reality, acknowledging the importance of the vision in navigating and overcoming the chaos and challenges that come with transformation.

I’ll also talk about the internal blocks and limiting beliefs that often hold us back, sharing a personal example from my own journey—my dream of leading Happy Hikes and how I worked through my fears to make it happen. Another key concept I explore is bifurcation.

Bifurcation - the process by which our current reality is splitting and we have to take action if we want to experience the existence of miracles over fear and slavery.

People often comment -  “I can’t meditate” - “I don’t know how to do it right” - “I can’t stop my thoughts when I meditate” - “I’m not good at it” - “I know I’m meant to do it but I find it so boring”.

The reason why you may find meditation frustrating, boring, a chore, confusing, or challenging, is because you’re trying to use methods that may not suit your preferences or abilities.

This is when it becomes effective and blissful.

This episode is for you if you ever find yourself saying "yer, but I'm happy enough" or "I should be grateful for what I've got" or "I'm already happy, why want more?".
Today I'm sharing my proven formula (and a story) that has helped me to push the boundaries on my desires so that I can live a life I really love. This formula has helped me to:
- Start my own company- Live and work on a tropical island
- Travel the world when I want
- Live my purpose every day
- Do what I want when the fxck I want- Become a Muay Thai champion x 3 even though my first ever class was when I was 40 years old
I'm sharing this because there is no reason why you should settle for 'good enough' or put a threshold on your happiness in life. You were born with the right, to have everything you desire. EVERYTHING. Our life experiences and interactions have created blocks and limitations that stop us from having what we want. This formula helps you to no longer settle, and to no longer wish, instead, it helps you to have everything you want.
Are you willing to settle for what you have or are you willing to allow yourself to want more?
