Financial happiness comes from internal happiness

by miami | Jan 23, 2007

Yesterday I was talking to a friend about happiness and money, and realized he did not understand a simple law of the Universe.

This law is as strong as gravity and you can no more ignore this law and be wealthy as you can jump off a tall building and fly!

Wealthy is not to be defined by the amount of money you have alone, money is certainly part of it, but there is much more to wealth. Wealth in relationships, wealth in health, wealth in happiness are all parts of being wealthy.

The law I refer to is this:

What you think about you attract.

In other words, you create your life by your thoughts.

What my friend could not understand is that his persistent dwelling on what he owed to others, how small was his income, the high costs of everything he wished to have – all these thoughts are telling the Universe to bring you more of the same. And the law is:

The Universe will bring you exactly what you think.

Today, pay close attention to your thoughts, and what you say, and do, and really begin to look at what you are asking for. Realize you are creating your life on a minute by minute basis with your thoughts and actions and ask “Am I happy with life I am creating?”

If wealth is a goal in your life, create in your mind, know that it will be a reality, and go about your life actively looking for the opportunities that will be placed in your path. When those opportunities arise, when your intuition says go!, when you get the feeling that says Do it! – take advantage of the Universal Law working in your favor.

Don’t worry, be happy!

BeDoHave works if you will only let it…

I took up soccer at 50. Basically, I needed to learn the game to be able to coach my son’s team.

Playing on a team and being physical active again has brought several opportunities my way (besides the physical workouts!). One is the ability to meet new people!

Last week we played a tournament and a fellow player joined me for the 90 minute ride to the fields.

During the conversations when I asked him his profession, he at first said “You don’t want to know”, and when I assured him I did he told me about his job as an IRS auditor.

I could hear in his voice that it was pretty much a job for him and asked if he liked it.

As often happens he said it was Ok and afforded he and his family a decent living.

Then came the statement that always make my mind reel. He said “All I have to do is hang in 13 more years and I can retire with a pretty good pension.”

I can’t tell you how often I have heard this, and how much it tears me up to hear it.

In my humble opinion, we only have one life to live and people that ‘hang in’ doing something they are not passionate about just to ‘have a decent living’ drive me crazy!

If we only have one life to live, why in the world would anyone want to make a living instead of living their lives?

You have heard me say over and over again BE who you are – Do what you love and the Universe will make sure you have exactly what you need.

I just hope nothing happens to my friend in the next 13 years to stop that pension!

How do you be happy without any reason?

by miami | Jan 14, 2007

This question came to me from the blog and here is the answer I sent back. Comments?

You asked about finding happiness without any reason…

I think this is a great question and one I will answer on the blog, but I also try to answer questions individually when I can.

My question back to you would be “Why do you need a reason to be happy?”

I believe happiness is an inside job. (I’ll bet you might have heard that before.)

What this means is that happiness comes not from things that happen to us, stuff we get, or people we like but from somewhere inside us that knows happiness is a choice we make.

For instance, if someone hit you on the head you are probably going to react. You might be angry – or emotionally hurt – or happy. (Of course this is a silly example but the meaning is the same…)

The key is most people react subconciously when we have the power to react with full consciousness of our actions.

You could be happy about it if you wanted to. Does that make sense?

So if you could choose to be happy about being hit on the head – what else could you choose to be happy about?

Everything.

Of course we don’t – but we could.

There is much more to be said. I suggest you start with the free ebook you got for registering. Read it –  do the exercises and define success and your values. Then begin to live to those definitions.

I think you will pleasantly surprised at the results.

And choose to be happy as much as you can.

Does this help?

Best regards,

Miami
