In order to be successful…Sometimes you have to worry less about being brilliant and just worry about SHOWING UP.

Any strategy is better than wallowing in misfortune. Focusing on what went wrong or what you don't have control over disempowers you. It shuts you down. Switch your focus to what you have immediate control over, and see how you open you up.

The key is not to rid the world of messages that may negatively impact your well-being. They key is to understand that your success and joy starts with your sense of empowerment. Protect your sense of empowerment and build on it.

By being happier, I discovered the worldly benefits of being happier: money and power! Seriously, though, the discovery was accidental, but the results are very real.

When I feel discontent and find myself projecting a sense of well-being on an object, person or life circumstance, I stop. I identify what is behind my longing and try to provide that emotion for myself.
