You Are Hard Wired For Happiness. Just Turn it On

Srikumar Rao explains how we have been trained our whole lives to be unhappy.

Happiness is our natural state, but we learn to focus our expectations on outcome rather than process and conclude if I can get.. then I can be happy.

The object of your if may change, but as long as you have one, you will not be truly happy.

Do You Have An Opportunity for Me?

A couple of times a day, I get an email like this one

Warren

Thanks for all the great content you share.

I just heard about an opportunity and want to share it with you. This company is just getting started, has a unique compensation plan and my friend tells me we can make a lot of money.

They are growing fast and have 57,000 on board. .and they haven’t even launched.

Call me right now so  you don’t miss out

Your Friend

I don’t like to delete emails sent in good faith from subscribers, so I send something like this:

Dear Friend

Sounds very familiar.. I’ve heard this story about 43,127 times.

not to burst your bubble.. but the illusion of getting in on the ground floor is so common that taken alone, it’s ceased to have any meaning.

I hope you’ll get back to me when you make you first $100k on this. I assume there will be more past that, will sign up, and buy you dinner as my appreciation for teaching me a lesson.

For now, I’ll go with a strong business plan, marketing with ROI, and build my business on solid facts.

I look forward to hearing how this goes for you. I wish you success in whatever you do

Warren

There are so many good opportunities in the world, and there is always a chance that your cousin’s brother-in-law has a former boss that is going to create the next billion dollar business. So keep your eyes and ears open.

However, the chances are pretty well stacked against anyone starting a business.

Don’t forget that a great business will take years to build. Vast fortunes can be made in companies that started a few years ago and have a proven product and track record of paying out as promised.

Just a little math can show how sound this strategy is.. whether it’s a start up stock or a multi level marketing sale plan.. the GROWTH of a $100,000,000.00 company at 10% will be more than a million dollar company that doubles sales.

It’s as simple as that.

Lot’s of opportunity on the way to that billion dollar empire. Get to know the players. Do business with people who have a sound product and business plan. There will  be risk involved (always is) but the good people to always be gravitating to the best deals…

.. and there will be more deals.

David Cameron: The Next Age of Government

If there is hope for government, there is hope for us all.

David Cameron is a conservative from the UK, but he talks of what lies ahead for the UK and the US and bring a lot of common sense.

Rather than issues that would be best left to politician, Cameron explains how the process is bound to change.

We have moved from local power, to centralized power and now finally people power

No, not a “power to the people” message.. Cameron explains how the influences that have changed the private sector will revolutionize the way we think about governance

Cameron ends the talk with this quote from Robert Kennedy. I’d suggest we each print it out and reread it anytime we think today is different, or start to loose hope that we’ll figure it all out.

“Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages; the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage; neither our wisdom nor our learning; neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country; it measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. And it tells us everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans.”

The Top 10 Traits of Happy People

HowStuffWorks has great lists to shortcut learning just about anything.

Here’s what they said about the traits of HAPPY PEOPLE

Despite the difficulty in pinning down what happiness is and how to achieve it, HowStuffWorks.com has taken a stab at it in this article, in which they offer 10 key tips.

• Keep Happy People Around: Studies have shown that happiness is contagious. When someone’s friends or neighbors experience happiness, those positive feelings are often passed on to the people around them. Happy people also tend to cluster together in social groups.
• Exercise: Exercising lowers the body’s levels of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress. You may have also heard of endorphins. Exercise causes the pituitary gland to release these powerful, mood-boosting chemicals.
• Meditate: Some studies show that meditation improves happiness. Consequently, activities like meditation, yoga and practicing mindfulness may boost your level of happiness and satisfaction.

I’m Told This Hunk of Plastic Will Change My Life

Every day we’re greeting with new knowledge, technology and opportunities.

How we react. The way we frame the world before us and the actions we take can make even a hunk of plastic the gateway to a better tomorrow.

This particular item might be the ticket to pain relief if applied to trigger points.. What a concept.. there are places on your body where you can press down on a muscle and with a little pain, cause a release of pain somewhere else that is attached.

Frankly, I would not be typing this right now had it not been for a treatment with the device in the photo about an hour ago.

Or would I?

Sometimes the thought of your minds ability to make things happen can cause a placebo effect that may be as strong as any drug or treatment.

I believe in trigger points and my pain is relieved. Knowing which is the cause and which is the effect is a discussion for another blog.  What we learn here is that we can decide and make a difference any time we want.

Amazing minds and bodies we are all blessed with
