Would You Like to Know a Secret?

A secret so valuable that if you knew it, understood it, and applied it in your life, you’d never be the same person again?

This secret is the difference between living an average life, or living the life of your dreams.

The secret is…… for you to be a truly happy person, you must separate yourself from the 95% of all the people out there who are struggling..

The happiest people in the world are people who are accomplishing something worthwhile. They are “living their mission”. They contribute to society. They love life, and the possibilities that every day presents.

If you think about it, how many people do you know that are living their mission? How many of the people that you know are excited about life? Now, compare that to all of those who are struggling.

I tell this story to clients all the time. It’s something I once heard Harv Eker say at one of the Peak Potentials programs I attended.

Imagine that you are standing on a bluff looking down on a long winding river.

100 yards off to the right, you see a huge mass of people all attempting to swim across the river.

But the river is deep, with deadly currents, and alligators and sharks lurking.

And many of those trying to swim across the river are being sucked under by the strong currents, or are barely hanging on, or are being attacked by alligators and sharks.

Many people are losing their limbs in the struggle, and those who finally make it all the way over to the other side of the river are totally spent.

Now, if you look over just 100 yards to the left of the bluff, the river is calm. It’s shallow. It’s clear and clean. And there are little ducks and swans swimming in it. There’s even a bridge going over the river!

And the few people who took the time to look for other ways across the river, they do it with joy and laughter and ease.

Wouldn’t you prefer to cross your river of life that way than trying to swim across the way most do?

If you’re like most everybody else, you’ll get results like most everybody else.

Most people aren’t really happy very much. Most people struggle in every area of their lives. Most people aren’t living their mission. In fact, most people never really stop to think what their mission is.

Most people don’t get what they want, because most people don’t know what they want.

Don’t be like most people.

Be like the few. The few who have decided what they really want out of life, and have learned how to use their mind to bring them everything they really want.

I guarantee you, that if you are living your passions in life, if you are succeeding at exactly what you want to be doing more than anything else in life, your life will be transformed forever.

Go for it!

Namaste.

Jeff,
I'm sure that in this journey of working on my inner game, I'll find what my true mission in life is. I can't wait to see what it is.

I am keeping an open mind and looking at everything I want to do and accomplish. I like reading and learning but I am ready to move.
