What makes you happy?

…and would make you want to jump out of bed in the morning?

One of the key things that people who succeed in life seem to have a grasp of is making sure they identify what makes them tick, what will drive them to success, Why do they want to achieve that something?

So how do you find out what makes you happy?

  • Try new things!
  • Look at what you have enjoyed in life in the past.
  • What did you get excited about in childhood, teenage years or early adulthood?
  • What things in life get you really passionate, is it injustice, is it people, is it working with animals, are you really keen on helping others?
  • If you can’t get anywhere with the above questions, just keep looking and asking, what makes me happy in life just now or in the future?

If you look at identifying what you get most out of in life you can really make a shift towards a life of abundance and true riches (happy, contentment, successful.

Also, it makes sense to define what you do like about life at present, in the recent past, and in the near future as well as dreaming about the long term possibilities in life.

Dream to become the greatest!

‘I am the greatest’ Mohammed Ali

If you want to achieve something extraordinary then you have to dream something extraordinary, imagine, see yourself getting what you really want, feel as though you are living it, smell what you would smell, hear what you might hear.

You simply are aiming to leave your subconscious believing that the vivid day dreams are actually real and exist in the ‘real world’.

I listened to one of Jack Blacks CD’s today, a Motivational and development speaker from Glasgow in Scotland. The CD has three tracks on it and the 3rd track is great, I was impressed because I could really relate to the ideas he presented as well as the people that he used as analogies. I have listened to hundreds of personal development and motivational CD’s but this one really struck a note with me.

One key thing that I got from the Mindstore CD is that you should not do as many motivational and management materials preach, by only dreaming of achieving things that are ‘achieveble’ and ‘atainable’. I feel free to dream of achieving things that may be a far off dream to others even if they are extremely difficult for people to achieve.

Dream big! Achieve loads and be the greatest!
