Today I wanted to talk about how to be happy and dive into a distinction that has really helped me uncover what seems to be the secrets to happiness and achievement.
What is mentioned in this episode:
- Most people believe that they need certain things or need to be a certain thing in order to be happy. I call this the Success Equation and no one ever arrives at happiness using it. They constantly make new requirements and never achieve happiness, despite all they accomplish.
- High achievers forget about the happiness of the pursuit and focus on the pursuit of that happiness on the journey to creating freedom. If you cannot learn to drop the success equation, then you will never realize your worthiness
- The #1 reason why people do not drop the success equation is because of fear. The fear of not having something to work towards and that laziness will keep you from achieving. Well that is bullshit. That is your ego telling you to keep your identity safe. The faster we realize this, the faster we can achieve happiness with more results and less effort.
- Last week I mentioned I have been running. I am doing this simply for the sake of running. I do not have anything to prove to anyone ,not even myself. A lot of time, entrepreneurs do something to prove something to someone. They compare themselves and judge themselves with images on social media. This robs us of our happiness. One of the secrets to happiness and achievement is simply doing the thing for its own sake.
- Look at your own life and think about where in your life you are getting too caught up in your own mind and where in your life it is time to start embracing happiness and achievement. And remember how much more peace, happiness, and achievement would be possible if you allow yourself to honor your journey for what it is... YOUR JOURNEY.
