Most of us are taught, from a very young age, that we CAN’T have what we really want. We’re told to accept our limitations and to never expect too much.

We’re led to believe that suffering is natural and normal … and that having your way is selfish, unrealistic and rarely deserved. We think luck and fate decides our future; that we have no choice over how life turns out.

What I tell people is just the opposite — that you CAN live life on your own terms! You deserve it. You can make it happen. You’re born to explore, create and wake to an exciting day every day.

A lifetime of research and world travel brought me to this understanding. Let’s look at some interesting realities about the human condition, which you may have also observed:

* Countless people with very little income and material possessions are nonetheless happy and fulfilled.

* Conversely, millions of affluent, powerful, seemingly successful people are miserable. Or, as I say, “miserable in paradise.” You need only read the news — and hear about celebrities in entertainment, big business, sports, politics and finance — to know this is so.

What the World’s Happiest People Know that YOU Don’t (Until Now)

Remember these points on your quest to get what you want:

* First of all, you deserve it. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

* You can have what you want without causing pain for others.

* Seeking what you truly want is liberating, and ultimately becomes a gift for others and our entire planet.

It’s Scientific

We are so powerful that every day we are each creating our own world. Scientific evidence proves this. Since you have such amazing power within — why envision an average life? Why follow a safe “herd mentality” to mediocrity and conformity? It is your choice to either wreak havoc in your life OR to create anything you want.

You needn’t be an expert (or even understand) quantum physics to tie this together. Just remember anything truly is possible.

7 Steps for You on Your Journey:

1. Stop trying to be what you’re not. Who are you really? Identify yourself and your special gifts. It’s never too early or too late in life to accomplish this transformation.

2. Decide what you truly want, rather than what society thinks you should have.

3. Become a confident leader of your own life. Leave behind that herd mentality which suffocates us, gets us trampled, and denies our individuality.

4. Walk away from your guilt. You’re not selfish for focusing on yourself and going after what you want.

5. Stop fretting about past decisions. They’ve provided valuable wisdom. Go forward without regret.

6. Change your priorities and envision your best self. Remove all these unwanted terms from your daily experiences: judgments; dishonesty; gossip; vengeance.

7. Add to your knowledge constantly. Study the mind – the more you understand the easier the previous points become.

What About Your Relationship with Yourself?

Focus on loving yourself the way you are.

* Give yourself approval. Instead of saying “I’m such a failure” say “I am succeeding beyond my wildest dreams.”

* Find true purpose and create a fabulous goal in your life, both personally and professionally. Never hold back on demonstrating your unique abilities, interests and creativity.

* Cultivate your innate generosity and caring. Forgive others. Accept THEM for who they are.

* DO NOT try to control, blame or judge others … or be “perfect” … or to make others happy by sacrificing your own needs.

Remember there are only two kinds of people in the world: those who feel life is “what happens,” and those who understand that we CREATE our lives with every thought. Be that second type.

Learn to look in the mirror and see a smart, beautiful person looking back – someone who deserves the world and an extraordinary life.

Scientific research says you really can get anything you want and live on your own terms.

You start by valuing yourself.

Moving in this direction is NOT being selfish or self-centered. By putting your own needs first, you will be healthy, strong and vibrant – you’ll be an asset to others. By placing yourself first you will free your spirit and live a truly meaningful, exciting life, without the need for acceptance or reward from others.

Your rewards will be a long, happy, healthy life, complete with riches measured well beyond money.
