In Andy Andrews'
book The Traveler's Gift, he covers the seven decisions that
determine personal success.
Decision #5 is this:
Today I Will Choose
To Be Happy
Many people do not
believe being happy is a choice. But it really is.
As we've discussed
many times, our thoughts are the one thing over which we do have
control. It's the thoughts we choose that lead to a feeling
which leads to an action which leads to an outcome.
Our experiences in
life are the outcome of the choices we've made.
Now Andy suggests
that it is this decision more than any other which can have a direct
impact on the amount of money you can make.
How is that
possible?
Most money making
opportunities come from knowing other people. As we develop a
circle of influence, it is the people we know that will bring our
attention to opportunities we can participate in to build wealth.
These opportunities may take the form of a
business opportunity, an investment vehicle, a stock tip, a great
sale ... whatever.

But if you are a miserable, complaining person, how
many opportunities do you believe people will bring you?
Generally, nobody wants to spend any time hanging out
with whiners and complainers.
I know I don't. Do you?
Well if nobody wants to hang out with you, then you
are going to get a lot less opportunities to participate in and learn about.
Aren't you?
The converse is also true.
People who are happy are fun to be around.
They are like a magnet.
If you are a happy, engaging person, you will have a
large circle of influence and everyone you know will be sharing
opportunities with which you can continue to build your wealth.
Simple, isn't it?
So choose to be happy.
Smile at people, be fun to hang out with and
approach each day with a grateful spirit.
It will have a direct impact on your bank account.
Remember, today I choose to be happy. |
