A Quick Fix For a Hectic Life: Simple Ways to Be Successful And Stay Happy

[success]The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow[/success]

Do you struggle with a hectic life?

Playing it by ear and hoping it’ll all come together?

You’re not alone.

I totally get it.

But life won’t work out as well as it could without a little input from you.

So where to start?

There’s so much information on being happier, being more successful, finding inner peace, living in simplicity or mindfulness that our eyes glaze over before we actually find something that works in real life, in your life.

We need something to put into practice without needing another new skill set to add to our already full and hectic life. We need simple, yet quick fixes.

And yes, it is possible to find them!

1. Honour your dreams

You were born to be amazing, to dream great things and nurture and cherish them until they come true, or you change your mind.

The biggest difference between the super successful and everyone else isn’t the obstacles in their way, or the time they have available, it’s the persistence and perseverance they have.

Ernest Hemingway rewrote A Farewell to Arms—39 times. He landed a Pulitzer prize for valuing his dream. Not too shabby.

Colonel Harlan Sanders was rejected over 300 times before he found someone to believe in his dream. Boy did he have persistence.

Whatever speaks to you, whatever moves you, is your dream. Honour it and make sure your actions are based on your faith that your dreams are definitely coming true.

Miracles happen when you use more energy to focus on your dreams than your doubts. The longer you hang in there the greater the chance for something wonderful to show up.

2. Check your personal philosophy

How you see the world makes it easier or harder on you.

Your viewpoint determines your attitudes, and your attitudes lead to the mindset that creates the actions you’re going to take. Pretty simple.

Picture this…you woke up this morning and decided everything was going to be wonderful today. No matter what happened, you expected to find something good, or helpful and useful in it.

That’s a simple and quick fix because, no matter how hard or hectic life has been lately, changing your attitude not only changes your reactions to events and experiences, but it’ll feel really good and those little things won’t get you down so easily.

It’s a painless and easy way to stay on the path of success without sacrificing your happiness.

3. You must change your relationship to money

Here’s the deal: you have to manage your money or it’ll manage you. Think of it in terms of energy…you’ll be more likely to let it flow.

Try this quick little trick.

Begin to train your mind to associate gratitude with your money.

If you don’t have much, or you’d like a little more, or a lot more…every time you look at your accounts, or balance your checkbook or have anything to do with your money, think of something that feels good in your life.

It doesn’t have to be about money…because it’s hard to summon up gratitude when a miserable bank balance is staring you in the face.

But it could be that you’re thankful for a comfortable bed to sleep in, or the roof over your head. Anything that connects you to abundance in that moment. Begin training your mind to connect gratitude with money: gratitude is a powerful magnetic force.

4. Spiritually speaking

Seize the blessings of the day.

Begin looking at each day as though it were filled with riches, just waiting for you to discover. Because it is.

Your life might be full and feel hectic and there”ll be times when you feel stressed, but remember this, nothing lasts for ever, not pain or trouble or today’s problem.

Don’t give your power away to things that will fade into nothingness in the next little while. Just remember to make sure you’re doing what matters to you in this moment and you’ll stop being blinded by all the things that don’t really count at all.

Let nothing stand in the way of your successful AND happy life.
