Happier No Matter What
Would you like to be happy every day of the week? Maybe it's time to start thinking like a happy person.
There's no magic to being happier.
Rose-colored glasses are not required.
Just start looking at your day-to-day life the way a happy person does.
Give this a try:
1) Accept that merely being alive means encountering occasional challenges.
2) Realize that dealing with challenges is a privilege that comes with being alive.
3) Welcome frustration. That means that you are not satisfied and are beginning to make adjustments.
4) Accept responsibility for solving your challenges. Run forward and fix them as soon as possible.
5) Deal with everything that life throws at you. Get a great night's sleep. Have another great day tomorrow.
It's amazing how that kind of mindset makes most challenges never show up in the first place.

Characteristics of Success
Could you find a mentor to help you along the way?
Every mentor I’ve ever had has validated that I possessed three characteristics for success. 
Would you pass their test?
1) Do you have a burning desire to achieve your goal?
2) Are you open to learning and ready to embrace the wisdom and guidance from a diverse range of voices?
3) Are you willing to undertake all actions to achieve your success?
Wouldn’t you want this in someone that was asking for your help? 
Walk your talk. Talk your walk. That’s a great life.

What's Your Life Vision?
Do you have an image of what you would like your life to be - except when life gets in the way?
There's no doubt that daily life events have a funny way of distracting us from reaching goals. It's just too easy to put them on the back burner. That's why you need to become the keeper of your vision.
Every day thousands of opportunities will arrive on your path and detour you from what you want. That's why it's up to you to guard your vision by asking a simple question - 
Will this opportunity move me closer to the lifestyle I desire or further away?
Simple.
Know YOUR vision. Defend YOUR vision. Live YOUR Vision.

Stoic Philosophy Rules That Apply Today
In 300 BC, political life was driving people crazy. To calm the masses, several schools of philosophy popped up. Stoicism was one of them. Many of its teachings resonate today.
1) The mind is your power. It is not an outside event. 
2) Time is your most precious resource. There is no time for regrets.
3) Be present. Stop and spend time with yourself.
4) Be grateful for what you have by imagining how much you would miss what you have.
5) Don’t look for happiness in the material. Wealth is in having few wants.
6) See that everything you experience originates from within. Your perception is all that matters.
7) Have a role model to measure your character. Once you find them, you’ll have a benchmark to gauge your progress.
8) Change your perspective on failure. Failure itself is no misfortune; to endure it and prevail is great good fortune.
9) Apply what you learn. Learning is like training weights for your mind. Be sure to use your new strength.
Why reinvent the wheel when some old-school wisdom already has it figured out?

Every Day is a Do-Over Day
Is it me, or does living life these days make you feel like Bill Murray in the movie, Groundhog Day? 
When it comes to working toward goals, that can be a tremendous asset. It's also something that will break you free when things don't feel like they are going your way.
Everybody has ups and downs. Up days are lots of fun. Down days make you want to crawl under a rock. But like the movie, with the right mindset, you always get another chance to try again.
How would you feel if every day was a chance to tweak, adjust, flex, or reinvent your approach to living?
What if everything got more comfortable as you built your knowledge of what works best for you?
How empowered would you feel if you knew that every day was a do-over day?
As long as the sun rises and the sun sets, it doesn't matter if you succeed or fail the previous day. Today is always a new day for making your dreams come true.
That'll make you get out of bed.

Transformational Stages
Is there something you would like to transform about your life? These days you are not alone.
Stop smoking, lose weight, get a better job - or another job?
Transformation always follows the same predictable stages:
Stage 1: Pre-contemplation. This stage appears when an idea pops into your head for the first time.
Stage 2: Contemplation. This middle ground is where most folks get stuck. It can go on for a lifetime.
Stage 3: Determination. Moving past contemplation, you make up your mind, dig in your heels, and make your plan.
Stage 4: Action. There is no turning back until you get what you want.
Stage 5: Maintenance. This stage is all about keeping what you have acquired - no matter what. This stage may also last your entire life.
