Did you know that happy people are regular people that look at the world differently?
They don't wear rose-colored glasses either. They have a better way:
1) They realize that if you are alive, you will have problems. 
2) They accept that dealing with problems is a privilege of being alive.
3) They don't get frustrated. They know problems mean you are shaking up life and living.
4) Happy people accept responsibility for solving problems. They never run from them.
5) A good day for a happy person is dealing with everything life can throw at you. Getting a great night's sleep and doing it all over again is the reward.
By the way -
It's amazing how this kind of attitude seems to make most problems never show up in the first place.

7 Stoic Rules for Happiness
I'm a fan of Stoic Philosophy. While it may be over 2,000 years old, its practicality is still valid.
These rules to live by will help you have a happier life:
1. If you're going to learn and succeed, be humble. There is always someone more intelligent, more successful, and wiser.  
2. Find the right scene. Choose your friends and situations. If you want to rise in life, you can't allow yourself to be held down by others.
3. Protect your time. Seneca said, "We're tight-fisted with property and money, yet think too little of wasting time, the one thing about which we should all be the toughest misers." Life is short.
4. Never do anything out of habit. Always think about how you can do things better, and always question yourself. 
5. Keep it simple — do your job. Approach every task as if it were your last because it very well could be. 
6. Adapt and learn from failure. Using your success to justify complacency is common. It's also easy, which is why most people do it. You can do more and be better.
7. Live below your means. The more you need work to maintain your needs, the less you will enjoy what you have.
Everything in life comes down to keeping things simple and mastering the basics. That's how you get the success you deserve.

7 Stoic Rules for Happiness

Opening New Doors Fuel Your Dreams
One of my favorite questions is, “What CAN I Do?” 
No matter how challenging a situation. 
Answering that question always reveals a clear path.
As they navigate our new world, I hear my clients ask me that question, too. 
My answer usually goes something like this -
“Can you do it? When you open a new door, you will find a new opportunity. Start opening more doors.”
Feeling empowered in a world that is draining your energy is like Tesla on a cross-country trip without charging stations is difficult. To ensure you are never running low, remember that dreams, possibilities, potential, and a feeling of certainty are all powered by new opportunities.
When you open a new door, an opportunity reveals itself. Your challenges will fade as you focus on the new way. But you must be willing to open a new door to find it.
The key to thriving in uncertain times is finding opportunities behind new doors. All you have to do is open the door.

Do This Instead of Setting Goals
Do you still dream of what you will be when you grow up?  
Do visions still keep popping into your head?  
Is there a mission that seems to be calling you?
What’s your BAM?  
What’s your BIG - AWESOME - MOTIVATING - MISSION?
What gives you pleasant dreams and a feeling of happiness?
What scares yet excites you?
What makes you smile and say, “If I could only get myself to…”
Stand up? Take a step? Repeat?
There’s no need to wait. You can start right now. Really! Right now.

Do This Instead of Setting Goals

Focusing on Your Twenty Percent
If you’re like many folks, you have so much on your plate that it’s challenging to keep up— forget about moving closer to your goal. 
There’s good news: you are not alone.
Everyone lives according to the 80/20 rule, which almost everybody has heard about. The Pareto Principle states that 80% of outcomes result from 20% of all causes of any event.
However, to get what you want in life, there is a slight twist to the equation that says,
80% of the things you focus on have nothing to do with what you ultimately want. They are simply the busyness of life.
20% of the things you focus on in your life have everything to do with getting what you want and will yield the most significant return for your efforts.
When you eliminate, delegate, or ignore the 80% and hyper-focus on the 20%, the math changes, and suddenly, you are living your best life 100% of the time.
Focusing on your best 20% changes everything.

Focusing on Your Twenty Percent

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.
