If You Want To Be Happier... Start Here!

Today, I’m talking with a little bit of tough love.

If you’re here and reading this, I’m assuming it’s because you want to be in control of your life again. Maybe you want to be happier, have more money, more freedom…

Maybe you’re ready to leave your job, or even your career. Maybe you still love where you are but just want things to be a bit different.

If so, here’s the most important thing you can learn this year:

Your thoughts create your reality. And you are in CONTROL of your thoughts.

Maybe you’ve heard me say this before. Maybe you’ve heard other people say it.

But have you taken it to heart?

When I first started in this job, I didn’t understand how true this really was. 

And I’ll be honest, I wasn’t willing to accept it.

“What do you mean I created this reality? I hate my job, my boss is a jerk. I don’t want this reality, I wouldn’t have created it!”

Yep, I had all the excuses. 

And all the blame. I was looking everywhere except myself. 

 
Yet I kept wondering why nothing ever changed.

Finally, I became desperate enough to decide that it was time to try something differently. All of these people I admired, including all of my mentors, kept telling me that I had control over my reality, that my thoughts created my reality.

Could they possibly be right? I mean, obviously they’d figured out something I hadn’t figured out yet.

That was a huge turning point in my life.

Keep in mind, this was a time period where I had extremely high anxiety, I literally wasn’t making enough money to reliably pay the bills every month, I was in the middle of major situations with a family member, my autoimmune disease was flaring…

So this wasn’t easy.

But every day I would repeat to myself “This reality was created by the old me. The new me is in the process of creating something better.”

Hell, some days I’d repeat that every 10 minutes or more.

And things started to shift.

My life started to change. More importantly, I started to FEEL more in control, so I started seeing all the changes come about because I was making different choices. I was making choices knowing that I was creating my life, I was in charge, rather than from a place of thinking that everyone else is in charge.

So here’s my question to you today:

When I say to you:

“You create your life. You have created the life you are living today!”

What comes up for you? How does that make you feel? What do you see in your life? What clicks in your head when you read that?

Remember, happiness is an inside job and you can’t make changes until you start to look inside.

So if things come up for you with that statement, dig out a journal and start to ask yourself why!
