A Formula For Happiness and Success Does Exist!

The greatest thing about living is that no matter where you are, how you feel or what you are doing you can at any moment choose to do something completely different and improve your life. What has become very comforting to me over the past few years is the discovery that actually NO standard 'blueprint' or 'guide for success' actually exists that shows you how to be a happy, successful and important person-the criteria is yours to set!


Unfortunately for me, I spent many years thinking there was some 'perfect person' image I had to live up to or some 'perfect mould' I had to fit into in order to please myself and all of society; and worse, if I didnt follow this 'mould' or adapt to society's 'success criteria', I would be a failure. Well that was a load of shit and I spent years of valuable energy and emotions trying to adapt all at the expense of my own life. Luckily, the reality is that right now at this moment you can choose to be happy and change the course of the rest of your life and build the life you want without 'upsetting' or 'working against' some society success model. This is indeed good news.


For me things today are vastly different, I am a 'fresh' person 'out of the box' who loves massaging and evolving my own personal definition of happiness and success; at this stage of my life helping others through my experience is the core of my definitions. The trick really is to concern yourself ONLY with what makes you happy and then fully believe in your path and stick to it. As we already know dealing with everyone elses expectations of who we must be and what we must do -namely our family and peers - in most cases puts us down the wrong path and forces us to excel and expend energy in accomplishing things we really dont care about. This is of course another story which I will touch on later, but for now do know that a structure does exist to find your own Happiness and Success.  This formula, which is simple and my own, is as follows:


                     D + E + F = SA           Defeat + Embrace +Fulfill = Self Actualization Progression


And because everyone is different one formula cannot be suitable for everyone. This formula is to be used by you as a framework to MOTIVATE yourself to make changes in your life. The elements outlined in the formula must be used as a reference to help you conceptualize WHAT you have to tackle and WHEN in order to achieve your goals. This is not a 'One Size, Fits All' kind of deal so if at the very least my formula helps you put everything you already know in a simple and logical format, and gives you a plan and direction to succeed, it has served its purpose.


For my purpose I will write and schedule my blogs, articles and solutions around all elements of the formula to help everyone find and figure out what is useful for them. At the end of the day I hope everyone will benefit and use the insight, motivation and solutions around each element of the formula in some way meaningful to their own lives. The formula's elements are explained in my next blog and touched on in some way everyday.


Good Luck and I look forward to helping you on your journey to leading the life YOU want!
