Heart – are you doing the thing you love to do? Are you living your dreams? If not, why not? What’s stopping you from achieving your dream? Is it a lack of courage? You got to work on your fears that may be holding you back. There is an inspiring Chinese saying: “I rather live one day as a tiger than 100 years as a sheep.”

Attitude – do you have a positive mental attitude? Your attitude will determine your altitude. Do you belong to the majority of negative people who complain and whine about life?

Purpose – do you have a great purpose, a dream that you want to achieve? Celine Dione sang a very popular song: The Power of The Dream. It is a very inspiring song and I highly recommend you go to your nearest music store to get her album.

People – are you mixing with the right people who will inspire and help you towards achieving your dreams. There is a popular saying: Birds of a feather flock together! Be careful who you mix with they will influence your thoughts and actions.

Yes! – how well do you communicate? Are you able to persuade people to do what you want them to do. Do you have the integrity that will attract people and win their trust?

HEALTHY is a great acronym too. Health is your greatest wealth? Are you taking good care of your health? Do you eat well, rest well and exercise well to stay healthy and fit?

Ethical – Are you doing the right things? To be healthy you must do the right things to ensure your body stay healthy and fit. Doing the right things will also ensure peace of mind which is an important factor for achieving good health.

Action – nothing happens without action. Have you put your thoughts into action. The greatest intention is of no value if it is not put into action.

Love – it is the most powerful force on earth. It is the law of attraction because when you are a loving and caring person you will attract good people into your life. The universal forces will come and help you achieve your dreams too!

Think – as a man thinketh so is he! You are what you think. Be careful of the thoughts that are running through your mind, are they negative or positive? With positive thoughts will come positive results and with negative thoughts will come negative results!

Happiness – everyone wants to be happy. Do you know what are the things that will make you happy? Do you know what are the things that will make people happy? We are all basically the same!

YOU – Yes Opportunities Unlimited. You can achieve whatever you want in life if you truly believe in it and have the burning desire to achieve it. Napoleon Hill popular quotation: “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve!” It all depends on you!

WEALTHY is a great acronym for Wisdom, Enterprising, Alliances, Leverage, Teamwork, Holistic and Yardstick. Do you have the wisdom to do the right things? Are you enterprising enough to think out of the box and take calculated risk? Do you know how to win co-operation through strategic alliances? Are you leveraging your time and effort? Do you have a strong team? Is your approach holistic? Are you living a balanced and successful lifestyle? What is your yardstick for success?

There are no secrets to success. You can be happy, healthy and wealthy if you mix with the right people and read the right books!

Each of us has a secret. And most of the time, our secrets are kept because we believe (often erroneously) that it will cause us humiliation or pain if it is revealed. So secrets are sometimes associated with negative and hurtful experiences. But there are also good secrets in the world — empowering secrets that can lead us to wealth, happiness and prosperity, if we only dare to take them seriously, and our willing to try a new way of looking at the world.

“The Secret” is a book that has sold millions of copies around the world since it was published in 2006. The book is actually a printed version of the earlier-released movie also entitled “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne. The subject of both the book and the movie is an obscure but millennia-old philosophy known as the law of attraction.

The law of attraction states that individuals have the capacity to attract success, wealth, health and relationships according to their beliefs and the use of visualization techniques. Further, it teaches us that abundance (not lack) is the natural state of our world–whether we realize it or not.

The law of attraction is believed to be the secret for total success and for creating our lives by design. This law also teaches us to believe that we can establish our own money mindset, and challenge the limiting beliefs most of us have about money. Confronting some of these myths about wealth can lead us to greater success and even create millionaires. Reading “The Secret” causes many people to realize the importance of believing in their own capacity for success, and their own responsibility in creating their life.

Like “the Secret” movie, the book transports a very unique message — one that many people are unaware of as this philosophy receives so little attention in the main stream media. The book says that their is something powerful within each of us that can empower us to be better people, and live more productive, satisfying lives.

But ‘The Secret’ is not just about being successful in term of monetary gain; it also teaches readers to overcome their weaknesses and bridge their differences with others, promoting greater harmony, cooperation and mutual responsibility. It really makes us realize and appreciate life’s worth and teaches an unashamedly positive view of life.

Although success cannot just be measured in terms of money, there is no denying that the accumulation of wealth is important to each of us for security, personal growth, self-esteem and personal enjoyment. It is part of the rich tapestry of life. But real wealth (as described in ‘The Secret’) is about more than just money. It is about living a wealthy, prosperous life and enjoying the abundance of love, prosperity and resources available to us — and doing so with a grateful mind.

In fact, gratitude is a subject much discussed in ‘The Secret.’ The law of attraction is all about getting into alignment with what you want, and ‘The Secret’ explains that feeling and expressing gratitude for the wealth and abundance we ALREADY have is the surest way to attract more of these things into our lives.

When you stop and think about it, your past is really a story you told yourself about events that happened earlier in your life. Maybe those stories are real and accurate. Chances are they bare no resemblance to the facts of any of those events.

People who hold on to their past often feed their unhappy stories-where they felt victimized. They go over and over the events that, according to them, led to their being hurt by other people and circumstances they deemed to be of their control.

Such people invest so much (sometimes all) of themselves in their hurts so they can blame others rather than assume responsibility for how their world looks now. Those people prefer re-living their past to changing their lives to create a happier future.

If you can maintain a neutral position when they tell their stories you will not get drawn in. The bottom line here is that your empathy and sympathy only serve to feed their stories and keep them stuck in their pain. When you allow them to re-tell their same old hurts you enable them to wallow and envelop themselves in untruths. In fact you give them permission to reject taking any responsibility at all for anything in their world.

A friend would not enable a friend to remain in pain. If you know someone who tells you about their pain, how horribly others treated them, the best gift you can share with them is to stop them. The next time they try to re-tell their story tell them you heard it before and you will not listen again.

Of course they will then create a story about you and how you hurt them-unless you let them know you love them too much to watch them drown in their non-serving stories. You may even ask them if they really want to change-or if they really want to continue to re-live their hurts.

Friend keep themselves and their friends living in the present. In this moment you are free from pain. If something hurts then you act to stop it-you do not simply sit back and hurt. You take action-in this moment.

You can only hurt by looking to the past or fearing the future. To live in happiness stay present-right here, right now.

If there is one thing that always holds true, it has to be this – happiness is for all who strive to be happy – and for those people who laugh often; they are usually happy.

Everyone is eligible to be happy: you, me, and everybody else living in the four corners of the globe. There are no strict rules, no guidelines, to follow to be happy or better still, to achieve happiness. Happiness is a state of mind. And, and if you aren’t familiar with it’s power, the mind controls everything.

The effort one has to put forth to become happy, doesn’t have to begin with laughter, it can be achieved with just a simple smile.

So let me ask you a question, do you ever laugh? Do you ever smile?

I mean, do you ever laugh out loud – spontaneously – just to laugh? Or have you ever laughed, to the point, that it raised a few eyebrows and expressions of wonderment, to those standing in close proximity, to question whether you are feeling all right?

Well if you don’t or haven’t laughed like that, then you should. If you begin each and every day with laughter than you needn’t worry about anything else for the rest of the day.

Personally, I like to laugh. It always makes me feel like I’m releasing tension from my brain.

Laughter is more or less a habit. To some it comes naturally to others it comes with practice. But what’s to hinder practicing every now and again?

Laugh and live long, laugh and grow well, laugh and succeed. If you are happy, nothing can faze you, because the person who laughs their way through life has absolutely nothing to fear.

Is there magic in laughter? Well you have to admit that laughing does cheer you up. If you find yourself board, and you can’t think of something to do, then just begin to laugh. That will give you something to do. Laughter is synonymous with action, and, most of the time, action dispels trouble and worry.

Real, genuine laughter is spontaneous just like water bubbling forth from a mountain spring. The water is mingled with action and spontaneity, which is also the very nature of laughter. It is an unrestrained emotion that is inside each and every one of us.

Next time you are out and about observe the average person, on the street, as they walk by. Most of the time they are plodding along with no spring, no pep, no vitality. What that person needs is energy. Energy is a powerful force that prompts people into action.

So if you are not in the habit of laughing, get into the habit. Never miss a chance to laugh out loud. If you don’t want to laugh, then smile. Smiling is better then nothing, and a small chuckle is better still. But neither can be compared to out and out laughter. That is the real thing.

Now go ahead, give it a try. What are you waiting for? Today is the day to begin – right now, this very minute. Unless you make a real effort, chances are you will over think the task and it will never get done.

And another thing I can tell you – something that I know to be true. Once you start the habit of laughter, you’ll have a hard time going back to the way it was before or the way it used to be. Laughter is a hard habit to break.

If you laugh out loud and you laugh long, then you are well on your way to happiness. So go ahead, have a laugh on me. You have to start sometime.
