Remember
when you were a kid and you were asked,
“What
do you want to be when you grow up?”
Maybe
that childhood dream of yours was to become a rock star. Your
childhood days were filled with visualizing and dreaming that this
dream of yours was a reality. You got your handy dandy PlaySkool
Karaoke microphone and toy guitar and put on the most amazing concert
to your dog Fido and your baby sister. But, in your mind, you were
performing in front of thousands of screaming fans on a huge stage
and you were the big star.
Those
childhood dreams and imaginations seemed to create the ultimate
happiness. Inside your amazing childlike mind, you held the creative
power to imagine the next amazing adventure, whether it was cowboys
and Indians or dancing ballerinas.
But,
what if you did not have such a happy childhood? Maybe your childhood
wasn’t filled with rainbows, birthday parties, good memories and
fun times. Possibly you have memories of a broken home, abuse, pain
and anger.
Your
future prosperity and happiness begins with what you do right now,
and no one else but YOU has the right to control the final outcome.
Think
back to the first time you drove a car after getting your driver’s
license. Something magical and exciting happened the day when you
were handed the set of keys that had the power to control this
amazing machine. In that moment, you may have believed those keys
opened the door to your happiness. You could be free to drive without
being restricted to mom and dad’s schedule. You felt pretty great.
Isn’t
it interesting that we often spend our lives waiting to be happy,
rather than seizing each moment of our lives and making it what we
want it to be? I think many of us are guilty of thinking the
following:
“When
I move away from home, THEN I’ll be happy.”
Why
is it that we have to wait in anticipation for happiness to come,
like it’s an event that happens when we reach certain milestones in
our lives?
Now,
there is undoubtedly some happiness that can occur from events that
take place in our lives, but this is only a temporary satisfaction
that is fleeting from one moment to the next.
If
true happiness were that simple, then we wouldn’t be hearing so
many tragic stories of suicide from celebrities that have achieved
much more fame, fortune and accomplishment than the majority of us
will ever experience in our lifetimes.
We believe that true happiness is achieved when the areas of Body, Mind, Prosperity and Relationships are all working in harmony together. Once you realize that you have full control over each of these aspects of your life, you are going to be able to accomplish things that you once thought impossible and you will truly hold your own keys to happiness.
