You Probably Have the Wrong Idea About What It Takes to Love Your Life. Here’s the TRUTH:

by Marci Shimoff

How hard have you been working your entire life to have the kind of life you love?

How much heartbreak and frustration have you endured in order to have the kind of relationship that can bring you happiness?

How many years of education, how many entry-level jobs, how many bad bosses have you had to put behind you to have the soul-satisfying career you have (IF you even have it yet)?

If I had to guess—if you’re like most people—you’ve worked pretty hard to be where you are right now.

But are you truly happy yet?

Do you genuinely love yourself and your life?

Do you bound out of bed every morning, eager to see what the day brings?

Are joy and exuberance constant companions for you?

Or is your happiness still a “work in progress”?

Why the Things You’ve Assumed SHOULD Make You Happy, Actually Make You Stressed and Anxious Instead

Most of us spend our lives in pursuit of happiness through the things we achieve and the things we acquire.

But even then, we’re not necessarily happy.

Oh, there are fleeting moments, sure. But they don’t last. For the most part, we stress ourselves out, we go into debt, we put in our 9-to-5 year after year, only to end up worrying all the time about losing what we’ve struggled so hard to attain.

Why is true happiness so elusive?

One big reason why is that we have the idea of happiness upside down and backwards.

We think we have to have the right circumstances (job, relationship, friends, house, money) in order to be happy and love ourselves and our lives.

But the truth is, we don’t.

That’s because it’s completely possible to be a genuinely happy person WITHOUT all those “trappings.”

In fact, most genuinely happy people don’t NEED anything outside of the basics to feel utterly in love with their lives.

How do I know?

I’ve studied and interviewed some of the world’s happiest people, from all over the world.

Most were not wealthy.

They didn’t have the perfect body.

They weren’t necessarily married. Or sometimes even in a romantic relationship.

Some had okay careers, some just had jobs that paid the bills.

A few were well known, but most were unknown.

Fame wasn’t even something these happy people desired or thought about.

So if the world’s happiest people weren’t spending 99% of their time pursuing happiness through achievement, success, upward mobility, acquisition or material wealth, HOW were they managing to be so happy?

Because they had certain skills.

These skills enabled them to love themselves and their lives without having to “work” so hard at it, day in and day out. They would wake up happy and go to bed happy, because their happiness didn’t depend on their external circumstances.

AND—the happier they were, the more good things they attracted in life: love, opportunities, a wonderful community of friends.

These good things only underscored their already-positive state of mind.

Happiness begets happiness.

Their skills are why they are happy, not the stuff they own or things they’ve accomplished.

Their secret was their skills. Skills that anyone can learn in order to be truly happy, too.

Learn the Secret Skills That Will Enable You to Love Your Life and Be Happy No Matter What’s Happening Now

Isn’t it funny to think that the only thing you need in order to “arrive” at a more happy, positive state of mind about your life is simply learning some simple skills?

Look, this is amazing news. Why? Because you don’t NEED more money, better looks, success, or a fantastic career if you just want to be happy. You don’t need to expend a lot of mental energy every year trying to achieve or acquire the things you thought would make you happy.

You can be truly happy and love yourself and life right now and have everything you need right now.

That’s the only way you can be happy in a way that lasts.

Because you aren’t constantly striving or aching for the next thing, or the next.

And while these happiness skills may be easy to learn, they’re not necessarily mainstream information. You won’t hear about these skills on social media and you certainly aren’t going to learn about them in any standard classroom. Or from your friends and family.

These are skills that I personally uncovered after a year of intensive research.

These are skills that I applied in my own life to become a genuinely happy person, and it’s what I taught to thousands of people all over the world through my books, workshops and speeches. These people have reported that they, too, have finally learned the secret to loving their life, and you will too.

In my 30 Days to a Happier Life video program, you’ll learn the habits and skills that sometimes take only 10 minutes a day to practice, sometimes even less.

Once you commit to taking those 10 minutes a day, you may find that you start to feel lighter, freer, and happier more quickly than you imagine—without having to change anything else about your life!

You’ll worry less and look forward to things more.

You’ll wake up every morning looking forward to the day instead of dreading it. Your relationships will improve because your friends, co-workers, and family will enjoy your company more.

You’ll start to get opportunities and support from your co-workers, friends, clients… and your professional life will thrive.

When you’re a happy person, everything gets better, because the way you look at the world and your life shifts 180 degrees. That’s why focusing on happiness FIRST is the easiest way to improve your circumstances (not the other way around).

If you’re ready to feel happier in 30 days, you can start right now, risk-free, with Day 1 and see for yourself how this program can change your life.

It’s time for you to stop putting so much effort into the achievements and goals that you think will make you happy, and just focus on the habits and skills that will bring you joy no matter what.

I know it will change your life to do this, if you give it 30 days.

With love and happiness,
