I just finished watching this short (20 minute) video on happiness. It pretty much hit the nail on the head for me about happiness.
Over the last few weeks, I have felt pretty upset because things have not being going my way. Been losing a ton at poker despite playing well, having to move, running low on money, etc. I have decided not to go out as much and it has paralyzed me from working hard and getting things done. Logically it doesn’t make sense and I really think that the speaker addresses the issue.
Happiness doesn’t come from outcomes, it is from within and we can achieve it by just doing the right things. I was saying “IF I make $3,000 in the next two weeks, THEN I would be happy”. These if-then statements are a logic flaw as the speaker goes into. I need to be saying “I am working hard and making the right decisions. Given the short term downswing, in the long run I will ALWAYS succeed.”
I don’t want to write out everything he says so I strongly urge you to watch the video as it helps to reinforce a positive mindset.
I'm currently traveling the world trying to complete my bucket list. I have made a living online for a few years now and LOVE it! I read and come up with so much stuff every week, I feel like I should give some knowledge back to the people who helped me get here. I truly appreciate my fans and am glad that you are here! Be sure to add me to your favorite social networking sites and to come back often for the latest updates on making money!

Sometimes i feel so lonely fighting in online make money industry…this is the hardest…
Yes, I feel the same way sometimes! The cool thing is if you can make $1 then you can make $1,000. It is really cliche I know lol but it is really true. I created a small group of blogs each making daily Adsense money. I then used that to find funding to scale the project up and outsource it all. Just keep working hard for that $1 and then you know you can make it into $1,000. Best of luck man
