HAPPINESS LIES IN THE JOY OF ACHIEVEMENT

There is a reason why so many people that have everything handed to them a re so sad. I would love to see how many people that win the lottery end up being more miserable than before they won. Take some time and recall all the things your life that has made you happy, I would say that a high percentage are things that you did yourself. The harder you have to work the greater the joy that comes from it. Just today Dad and I built this awesome storage floor in my garage and it feels so good that we did it ourselves. Three months ago Dad, Mom, Jill and I built our fence and that was so exhilarating. I love it so much I think we're going to build our next house ourselves :). With every goal you accomplish there is always two pots of golds, the reward you reached and the joy that comes from it.



HAPPINESS LIES IN THE JOY OF ACHIEVEMENT


Happiness is a byproduct.
You cannot pursue it by itself.

You were built to conquer your environment,
solve problems, and achieve goals.
You'll find no real satisfaction or happiness in life
without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve.

Happiness is in activity.
It's a running river not a stagnant pond.
Happiness is not in having or being,
it's in doing something you love.

The secret of happiness is in having something to do.

Creating your own reality. This is not magic or voodoo, it's real and I've seen it in my own life. When I put the power of my thought into getting a new house ... I get it. I wanted to have a contract close to home where I could keep working and get more time with my family. As rare as contracts in Canada are I managed to find myself working on a contract in TO for about 6 months. All of these and many other things started as desires and thoughts in my mind and through the power of "whatever" I made them come true. You are the result of your thoughts. If bad things happen then you are thinking about bad things, if good is happening then you are focusing on good things and you are also focusing on the good in the things that are already around you. You could have the everything you want already in your hand, but if you fail to see it then it'll be lost.



REALITY FORMS AROUND YOUR COMMITMENTS



Intense anticipation will transform your possibilities into reality.
Strong desires will in time externalize themselves into concrete fact.
Your desires are the precursors of the things
which you are capable of having and doing.

Weak desires will bring you weak results,
just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.
The intensity of your desire governs the power
with which your energies will be directed.

When you care enough for a given result,
you'll almost certainly attain it.
All of your dreams can come true,
if you have the courage to pursue them.

Reality forms around your commitments.
Desire is the starting point for success.

SUCCESS IS DETERMINED ON THE DRAWING BOARD

I love the last line on this one. "No one ever got lost on a straight road", how true is that. This message is another awesome one that blows me away. One big thing I've learned is that you have to willing to give up things to get what you want. So you better want it a lot more than the things you are sacrificing. I personally have given up a lot to get to where I am right now. For my houses I've given up extra income to make sure my apartments keep running (not rented, water bills, condo fees, etc.), I've given up money to invest in BB to keep that going strong, and I can't even measure the amount of time I've given up with my family to pursue a consulting career. Along with all that there are simple sacrifices I've done to keep me on my straight road. The problem is I have 3-4 roads all at the same time.

So again you need to have a clear goal, you need to focus on it, you need to know your steps to getting there, and you have to be ready to give up things to get there, also more important when you do get there .. be thankful.





SUCCESS IS DETERMINED ON THE DRAWING BOARD



It isn't enough to just want to be successful.
You've got to ask yourself:
'What are you going to do to get the things in life you want?'

Your problem is to bridge the distance which exists
between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.
Planning brings your future into the present
so you can do something about it now.

Somewhere there is a map of how it can be done.
All you need is a good plan,
and the courage to press on to your destination.

A well built house started with a definite purpose
and a set of blueprints.
Your plan should provide the pattern for the actions you'll take.

Take time each day to study, think and plan.
Plan your steps, then implement your plan, then review your results.
Do this frequently and make the appropriate alterations to your plan,
and you'll develop the power that will bring you to success.

No one was ever lost on a straight road.

NEVER SAY NEVER

You can always do anything you put your mind to. I bet if I wanted to and practiced and trained enough I could dunk a basketball on a 10ft net. You'll never know the things you can do unless you try, and thinking about all the things you wish you did or want to do are not going to make them happen. You have to put your thoughts to action. You can loose all the money you've ever made and get it back, but you can never get all the time you've lost. Your time is the most valuable thing you have and it's important to use it to help you reach your goals.



NEVER SAY NEVER



There is no such thing as no chance.
Don't think about the things you can't do.
Think about the things you can do.

No matter what the level of your ability is,
you have more potential than you can ever develop in a lifetime.

You have powers you never dreamed of.
You can do things you never thought you could do.
There are no limitations to what you can do
except the limitations of your own mind.

Your range of available choices right now is limitless.
Look at things as they can be.

YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING YOU IMAGINE

Always thinking about your goals is the one sure way to make them come true. With out thinking, planning and working goals are nothing more than dreams. You have to focused on what you want to achieve to make it your reality. The one thing that people always have to keep in mind is that to get those goals you have to give something up. The bigger the goal the bigger the sacrifice. So be prepared to make those tough choices and make sure that the goal you think you want is truly the goal your heart desires.



YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING YOU IMAGINE



Picture yourself in your mind's eye
as having already achieved your goal.
See yourself doing the things you'll be doing
when you've reached your destination.

Your imagination is your mental workshop
where all your plans are fashioned.
Visualize your goals and you'll get your subconscious
to work toward making your mental pictures come true.

Olympic medalists use the art of mental rehearsal or visualization.
They mentally run through important events before they happen.

Decide what you want out of your life.
Sense it before you have it.
See it, feel it, taste it, smell it and imagine
the emotions associated with the attainment of your goal.
Pre-live it in your mind before you have it.
Your vision will become a powerful driving force in your life.

See the things you want as already yours,
and one day, they will be yours.

RICHES LIE INSIDE YOU, NOT IN MATERIAL POSSESSIONS

When I worked at Verizon my manager always said "It's not about having what you want, but wanting what you have" and I believe that so much. You always have to be striving for more but when you reach those goals you need to be thankful for it. The road to riches is about giving not just getting. The more you give the more you get and that is true for wealth, knowledge and compassion, the three ingredients to the kill app :)




RICHES LIE INSIDE YOU, NOT IN MATERIAL POSSESSIONS


Wealth without enjoyment is little consolation.
Your real prosperity lies in being thankful.
Your real riches are riches of the head and heart.
Satisfaction comes from appreciating what you have.

Success is getting what you want.
Happiness is wanting what you get.

It's not how much you have,
it's how much you enjoy.
