Labels Make You Happy

Dated: date October 13, 2010 – 3:25 pm

We make labels for everything. Believing in the labels that you give things will kill off your happiness. See, nothing is anything real until you show up. No situation is what it is until you describe it. Now, the question is, are you describing the situation in a way that is delightful to you and you enjoy, it or are you describing the situation in a way that drives you crazy and makes you miserable?

You get to choose how you describe things. You get to choose the labels that you give things. So if you’re choosing, why not choose labels that feel good, that make you happy? Try that today. Start to give labels to things that make you happy.

What Makes You Suffer?

Dated: date September 23, 2010 – 2:27 pm

Your point of view is what makes you suffer, nothing else. None of the circumstances in your life, none of the people in your life, where you were born, the circumstances with which you were born, where you find yourself now. You getting fired from your job does not cause you to suffer. Your children not doing what you want them to do does cause you to suffer. Your suffering is a function of the opinion that you have, and you have an opinion that life shouldn’t be the way that it is.

I hate to break the news that when you have that opinion, you’re going to suffer. And so consider that you’re holding people, the world and everyone around you accountable to agreements that they never made. You want to get out of the suffering? Let go of those agreements and begin to align with the way the world is and see what happens.

You Need to Fail to Learn

Dated: date August 26, 2010 – 10:59 am

I got this great little saying, and it says, “A kite rises against the wind.” I think it’s so important for each of us to realize that if we’re going to experience joy, fun and enthusiasm while in the success process, we’ve got to recognize that there needs to be contrast. The pushing against, the destruction and the chaos that happens in our life is truly the most important part of our entire success process.

You never learn anything when you succeed. You learn when you’re failing. You learn when you’re falling. You learn when you’re screwing up. So really engage the idea that you’re going to fail. You’re going to fall down. Get up, brush yourself off, learn that lesson, and keep going.

And I want you to practice going like this. Like, woo-hoo, that was awesome! Because it really is awesome that you are learning.

Pain and Suffering Causes Growth

Dated: date August 25, 2010 – 2:59 pm

If you didn’t have pain and suffering, you wouldn’t grow. If you didn’t have pain and suffering, you wouldn’t know what isn’t working. You wouldn’t know what beliefs you have, or what you don’t support. The pain and the suffering that you experience in your life is really just you resisting the situation.

How you interpret a situation is your opinion. Did you even invent your opinion? No. You were conditioned like a dog to believe the way you believe. This is how you poop. Here’s where you pee. And this is how you get dressed. You walk like this and move like this and talk like this. You are just a puppet of the conditioning that you have received.

Consider you’ve never made any choices about what you really want your life to be. That all of your choices that you supposedly made have been influenced by what you were conditioned to believe early on is the right way to operate. Let go of some of that today. Know that your growth is where the pain and the suffering is.

So start to get excited about it. Start to get thrilled when you experience, when you come up against the wall, when you come up to something in your world that isn’t working. I just want you to say, “Yeah! This is it. I’m about to grow. Somethin’ good’s gonna to happen.” Try that and see what happens.

Is Happiness a Disease?

Dated: date August 24, 2010 – 1:10 pm

Well, it turns out that happiness and sadness both spread like diseases. In a study done by Harvard University and MIT, a mathematical model was put to a study to see if happiness and sadness, if your emotional state infects other people. Guess what? It does.

Over a several-year period, they realized that by applying a traditional, infectious disease simulation to the data they had collected on 1,880 test subjects, the sadness would spread throughout the people who were exposed to it. The happy would spread throughout the people who were affected by it.

I remember my son saying to us at dinner the other day, “It is so weird Dad. When I am here at your house, my complaints disappear so quickly. I am able to maintain my happiness and my joy so much more easily than when I am over at Mom’s.” It just confirmed for me that one person’s commitment to happiness can massively and dramatically affect everyone else in your life.

So what are you committed to? Are you going to spread the disease of the drunk monkey? Or, are you going to spread the disease of your higher self into your life today?
