Three Questions for Lifelong Happiness

by Brian Tracy – July 2009

You already have everything you need to create a wonderful life for yourself. You know everything you need to know to be your own best friend, a gentle guide, a teacher and a helper to yourself so you can be truly happy and fulfilled.

You can learn how to become your own psychotherapist for life, and how to resolve the difficulties that stand between you and personal joy.

Be Honest With Yourself

The starting point of becoming your own best friend is for you to be perfectly honest with yourself and your relationships. Refuse to practice self-delusion or hope for the best. For example, when something is making you unhappy, for any reason, the situation will tend to get worse rather than better. So avoid the temptation to engage in denial, to pretend that nothing is wrong, to wish and hope and pray that, whatever it is, it will go away and you won’t have to do anything. The fact is that it probably will get worse before it gets better and that ultimately you will need to face the situation and do something about it.

Deal With Your Problem at a Higher Level

There’s an old saying that you can’t solve a problem on the level that you meet it. This means that wrestling with a persistent problem is often fruitless and frustrating. For example, if two people who are in a relationship together are constantly fighting and negotiating and looking for some way to resolve their difficulties, they may be attempting to solve the problem on the wrong level. Dealing with the problem on a higher level, those people would ask the question, “In terms of being happy, is this the right relationship for us in the first place?”

Find the Right Job For You

Many people work very hard and experience considerable frustration trying to do a particular job. However, in terms of their own happiness, the right answer might be to do something else, or to do what they’re doing in a different place, or to do it with different people-or all three. Here are a few questions for you to answer in this arena of happiness. Write them down at the top of a sheet of paper, and then write as many answers to each one as you possibly can.

What Would It Take?

The first question is: “What would it take for me to be perfectly happy?” Write down every single thing that you can imagine would be in your life if you were perfectly happy at this very moment. Write down things such as health, happiness, prosperity, loving relationships, inner peace, travel, car, clothes, homes, money, and so on. Let your mind run freely. Imagine that you have no limitations at all.

What is Holding You Back?

The second question is a little tougher. Write down at the top of a page this question: “In what situations in my life, and with whom, am I not perfectly happy?” Force yourself to think about every part of your day, from morning to night, and write down every element that makes you unhappy or dissatisfied in any way. Remember, proper diagnosis is half the cure. Identifying the unsatisfactory situations is the first step to resolving them.

Determine Your Happiest Moment

The third question will give you some important guidelines. Write down at the top of a sheet of paper these words: “In looking over my life, where and when have I been the happiest? Where was I, with whom was I, and what was I doing?”

Decide What to Do

Once you have the answers to those questions, think about what you can do, starting immediately, to begin creating the kind of life that you dream of. It may take you a week, a month, or a year, but that doesn’t matter. Every single thing you do that moves you closer to your ideal vision will be rewarding in itself. You’ll become a more positive and optimistic person. You’ll feel more confident and more in charge of your life, and you’ll achieve true peace of mind.

Action Exercises

Here are three steps you can take immediately to put these ideas into action.

First, examine your business and personal relationships carefully. Is there any situation you wouldn’t get into again if you had it to do over?

Second, make a list of every single thing in your life that would make you happy and then think about what you could do to begin achieving them.

Third, allow yourself to dream and fantasize about your ideal life, what it would look like and feel like, and then do something every day to make it a reality.

(Attention Please: I posted this post then realized that the Wealth Creator Source website is in a transition phase and only active members have access, my apologies)

If making real changes in your life is important to you, then the
Wealth Creator Source is the perfect place to get started. In truth, you may be able to accomplish personal change on you’re own, but it could be a rough ride. The Wealth Creator Source is a series of powerful interviews with some of the most influential and well known people from around the world.

Once a month, when you go to you’re mailbox, instead of all the bills and junk mail that fills it, you will receive an interview by Raymond Aaron on a CD, which is truly, educational, motivating and inspiring. These interviews cover a wide range of topics that all of us are exposed to or will be exposed to at some point in our lives. Some of these interviews are related to entrepreneurs, money and wealth, success, health and wellness, leadership, internet marketing, spiritual and personal growth, motivation, and investing, to name more then just a few.

Most of the men and women being interviewed, are not only financially wealthy, but also, spiritually wealthy. Jack Canfield, author of the “Chicken Soup For The Soul” series, is always a tremendous interview. If you didn’t learn something about how to improve yourself after listening to Jack Canfield , you were not listening. Other people interviewed by Raymond were, Robert Kiyosaki, who wrote “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and many other books; Dr. John Gray; John Assaraf; Janet Attwood; Chris Attwood; Brian Tracy, who has written over 40 books; Dr. Albert Lowry, who is a millionaire and educational innovator; and Yvonne Oswald, who teaches the deep meaning of words that we use, and the harm that we can be doing to our children, without even realizing it. These are but a few of the people, that Raymond interviews, every month.

When you listen to these interviews, you will find yourself learning new ideas, beliefs and truths, that will make you not only a better person in the physical world, but will also help you develop spiritually. You will learn how to improve your health through new techniques and technologies. Raymond’s interviews will help you come to the understanding that where you are in life right now, good or bad, is because of the decisions and choices that you have made in your life. You will find guidance in how to make changes in every aspect of your life that will have a profound positive effect, not only on you, but on your loved ones as well. Some people believe that they are limited to what they can achieve in life, when in fact, we are all capable of accomplishing incredible achievements. The problem is, that nobody ever taught us how, until now.

Raymond Aaron is a master interviewer, who always extracts the best information and content out of his quests, seemingly, without effort. When you’re done listening to the interviews, you will feel motivated and energized to strive towards you’re goals and ambitions. You will come to realize, that if change is to happen, it must start from within, that nobody is going to do it for you, and that only you can make the changes happen. Join

In this Wealth Creator Source interview Raymond Aaron interviews Roger Hamilton a world-renowned speaker in wealth creation, best selling author, and founder of XL Group, the worlds leading network of social entrepreneurs, educators and leaders. Roger and the XL Group are driven by the concept of World Wide Wealth: Empowering social enterprise and global change by increasing our collective ability to create and contribute wealth.

If you’re like me and you have a deep desire or dream to be an entrepreneur and run your own business, you are more then prepared to do whatever it takes to make your dream come true. You would be more then willing to work long hours, learning everything from bookkeeping to negotiating any money that you would need to start and operate your business. Likewise, if you are working for somebody else, you probably believe that to get ahead you have to undertake whatever responsibility your boss throws your way. Yet, according to Raymond’s interviewee this month, world-renowned entrepreneur and thinker Roger Hamilton, that is exactly the wrong thing to do…

Roger explained how Richard Branson has over 200 companies but he doesn’t run any of them. He has other people running them. More importantly, he didn’t even come up with the ideas for them. Other people brought those ideas to him.

He talks about creating space for things to happen. By allowing other people to create and run with ideas and concepts that they developed you create space for yourself and in turn you will have more. One of the first things to know is that every one of us is probably spending ninety percent of our time on things which are not delivering the kind of value that we could naturally deliver.

In two of the five action steps the first one stated that we need to Step Up! – Take responsibility. Have conviction. Assume a leadership role that gives us the ability to get the response you want from others. Look deeply into your life right now and where ever you are getting the least response you want, job, children etc. Step up in that area and take a leadership role.

The second action step is about Giving Back, not just with money, but with your time. Give back to your own child, a charity that inspires you, or something else you feel is important. Giving back will eventually lead you to your wealth.

This 70 minute interview is on doing well, making a lot of money, but about doing good as well. It is a powerful interview. I learned that spending time doing things that I’m not good at will prevent me from enjoying the success I deserve…literally.
