We pin our happiness on external things like our appearance, bank balance, job title, travel plans, possessions and the opinions of others -- and then suffer as a result.

 

True, sustainable happiness comes from within -- by cultivating a mindset based on gratitude¹, mindfulness and acceptance.

 

 

And it involves an established career, large house, acceptable body shape, marriage and annual holidays.

 

Everyone has their own path to walk in this life, and what brings true meaning and deep fulfillment differs for all of us.

 

Let go of your need to fit to the status quo. Live, work, date, play, create, travel, eat, drink, move, laugh and sing in ways that feel right with your soul. That is true success.

 

 

Life is meant to be easy, beautiful and overflowing² with moments of joy and bliss³.

 

The more you listen to your soul and build a life that's true to you, the more your actions will feel completely natural and effortless.

 

If life is a constant struggle, you're running on empty and you dread⁴ Mondays, it's time to take an honest look at your life -- in a loving way.

 

 

Where you are now is a result of the choices you made in the past. Where you will be in the future is a result of the choices you are making right now.

 

You are an active participant in the creation of your life. So embrace your power as a creator, and start choosing thoughts, words and actions that make a positive impact and will come back to you in a million magnificent, beautiful, jaw-dropping ways.

 

 

There is no such thing as a normal human, but there is such a thing as a "normal" you -- where you're completely yourself, you love yourself deeply and you think and act in ways that feel aligned⁵ with your soul.

 

Let your internal compass be your only point of reference.

 

 

We draw a line around our social and family circles, keeping out everyone who doesn't fit neatly⁶ within our definition of normal, interesting or worthwhile.

 

While everyone has vastly different aptitudes⁷, passions and quirks⁸, everyone also has the same light within them. The light within you is the same light within me, within the stranger on the bus, and within anyone you consider your enemy.

 

 

Life is meant to be abundant and limitless. We create scarcity⁹ by believing in it, instead of focusing our efforts on creating, giving and contributing our gift to help humankind reach its highest potential.

 

Relax and feel it deep within your heart that you will always be provided for.
