Happiness = Success, More or Less? It's Your Decision

I've lost track of how much I've written about this success stuff over the last few years.

But...even though I write about - I STILL need a reminder of the important things that I should be focusing on life!

As I believe should YOU, too.

Whilst all of the hustle and bustle of life goes on around us - it's easy to forget one very important thing...

Easier said than done, right?

Well...not really.

For example...despite my best efforts, there are still a few things in my life that I don't look forward to doing...

- my accounts
- cutting the grass
- DIY
- making and answering phone calls
- cleaning the kitchen
- Lesley moving the house around (yeh I know - it's a man thing!)
- being sociable because I am expected to
- doing the same thing more than once

(Bet you've got a list like that, too!)

But...it's only until the last year or so that I realized that the stuff I didn't like to do was under my complete control.

So...even though it's not particularly cost-effective - I now pay someone to cut my grass for me.

My return on investment has been HUGE!

Here's why...

1 - I no longer look at the long grass that needs cutting and feel miserable.
2 - I no longer beat myself up over the fact that I should be cutting the grass.
3 - I no longer have to feel guilty when Lesley gets fed up with waiting for me to do it, and does it herself.
4 - I no longer get sarcastic little comments from said wife enquiring as to when I would be likely to 'get on with it'.
5 - I no longer look at my landscaped garden and worry how much the uncut grass is ruining it.

You get the picture!

In fact...apart from the little bit of pain when I have to pay the money - the grass has now become a complete non-event in our house.

Except when Lesley and I both comment about how much nicer it looks, how much better it is taken care of, and how we no longer have to argue about it getting done.

All in all...happiness all round.

Which, to get back on the track of where we started is where YOU should be aiming ALL of your life towards!

Sure...sometimes it might not be an option to pay someone to cut your grass for example (to take your mind off of it - just put your Ipod or whatever on...and listen to some self-improvement audios while you do it, like I used to).

But...if you are constantly looking at how you can get more enjoyment and happiness out of your life, instead how bad things are...there will only be one way your life can go from that point on....

...and that is UP!!!

I can say without hesitation that this book changed my life.

If you love Think and Grow Rich...then wait until you discover the book that started it all, one that I firmly believe is more life-changing that its smaller cousin. I loved it so much that I spent months scanning in every single page by hand just so that I could share it with you.
