The thing about creating the life you want is you can’t leave it to chance. If you don’t trust yourself to be able to positively influence how your life goes with where you’re starting now, what do you think the result will be? If you want to renege your influence, if you want to have no control over what happens, and let everyone and everything else have control, then that’s exactly the life you will get; it will be and feel out of control all the time.
So, here’s the deal; we’re all going through a lot of sh-t. Forget lemons to lemonade. It’s fertilizer to farms. You need way more nutrients than some sour lemon juice can offer. And if your life was as easy as squeezing a barrel of lemons, you probably wouldn’t be reading this book.
The main obstacle to happiness is survival. Happiness isn’t even on our brain’s radar until we have survival covered. We are constantly in problem-solving mode because there will always be problems to solve; and if there aren’t any real problems, we’ll create drama and come up with new ones.
Happiness then is always just beyond the horizon, and we’ll never reach it as long as we keep seeing the obstacles in place of the solutions.
We swear to ourselves that the grass is always greener on the other side. But happiness is already here; everywhere around us. It’s in every atom of every cell, and every ray of light and every shadow.
Anyone can access happiness if you know how to find it. You are the only one who can unlock the door to your own happiness; and learning more about happiness strategies here can help you recognize the keys that you already possess to unlock it.
