How does one become happy? For that matter you can ask how does one become unhappy? I believe that happiness is a learned response which can be shaped and molded to suit our own individual needs.

I was just reviewing some training given by industry expert Jim Britt where he breaks down several steps to go about the happiness development process. He states that in order to learn to be happy you must first take the steps to let go that which does not serve you. Read More→

As I was getting ready for my day just a little while ago I had the occasion to reflect on what it takes to make it in business and in life.

In considering the ups and downs that I have personally experienced I had a flashback to something that I had heard in a training long ago that sticks with me to this very day. It was a very simple statement really: Read More→

The Internal Thermostat as it is sometimes called has a more scientific name which is The Psycho-Cybernetic Mechanism (PCM). The PCM’s job is to keep our body and mind in a constant state of comfort.

Why is this important you may ask? The answer to this question is what separates the wealthy from the rest of the population here on earth. I want to ask you a question “Have you ever seen a really great idea on television or on the radio and remarked to yourself that you could have done that”? Well the fact of the matter is that you really could have except that your mind was not in the right place.

The Fast Track of Life

Posted by: John Chatman | Comments (11)

The Fast Track of Life is a term that I have given the exponential growth which occurs on an emotional, physical, and financial status when you apply yourself to a curriculum of continuous lifelong learning.

According to Brian Tracy we are entering into a time of human history that economist have called the “Golden Age of Mankind” where world income is increasing at a faster rate than ever before with more people becoming millionaires and billionaires than at any time before.

The  question that might pop into your mind is that if everything is going so well how is it that I am not profiting from this shift in wealth? This is a very important question because let’s face the facts it really doesn’t matter how great someone else is doing if you don’t have access to be able to increase your prosperity as well.

Accepting Personal Responsibility for our own lives and realities is one of the most self empowering things that we could ever do for ourselves and those we love.

Shakespeare once wrote: All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts.

good-habit-bad-habit“Winning is not a some time thing; it’s an all the time thing. You don’t win once in a while; you don’t do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit, unfortunately so is losing…”
– Vince Lombardi

In reading the above quote it made me conduct a self evaluation and come up with a mental list of what are some of my habits and why & how they were developed. We all have habits, some of them benefit us and some of them are to our detriment it is only those who have mastered the art of  creating those habits which serve our purposes that truly reach the level of success both spiritually and physically that we are capable of.

An exercise that you might consider doing and one that I will implement myself is writing down a list of your daily habits both the good and the bad and one by one see if you can’t replace a bad habit with an equally powerful good habit. Let’s say for instance if you wake up in the morning and turn on the news reports only to hear all of the negativity that is going on in the world try and replace this habit with one where you set aside time for meditation and contemplation of the events which are about to unfold.

I will personally do this starting right now and report back in 30 days to see what are some of the habits that I have identified and corrected to serve my goals in life.

As always I appreciate your comments and retweets.

To Our Massive Success,

John
