It is true, You walk into a party people are talking in groups. You think they are talking in clicks and maybe about you. Yui walk out. OR you walk into a party . Poeple are talking in groups. You think look people are finding each other. These people will be easy to get to know. What afun party. You walk up to a group and have fun

Great Blog,

This is great rule to live by.  If only everybody had this outlook on life.  This is a great way to start off my day.

Thanks  

Happiness is indeed its own destination. You need to face each day with a smile on your face and a song in your heart - and it shouldn't be a forced thing either - it should be natural. It is your choice to move forward like this.

So true.  No one wants to be a millionaire.  No one wants to own that yacht. No one wants to own that big house or fancy car.

What we want is the feeling that we think these things will bring.  You are right short cut it.  We can feel these feelings without first having the material items.  Fortunately, if that is done the material items may follow.

Good morning Dan,

Another great blog and thank you sharing this information with us.  Yes, you're so right, happiness is a choice, as well as being successful in this business.  I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I've been prospecting and prospecting and prospecting without seeing much results YET.  Just like farming, you plant a seed in fertile ground and expect the best. 

Dan, I love this post. It is so correct. It is all in the NOW! Thanks for the post.

Bill - nicely put, but I have to say that if you do the first things, then the second thing WILL follow.

Charlie - That's a great example.

Vincent - I try to start every day with an inspirational focus.

Simon - You are right, you can't force happiness

Bill - So true.  Focus on the feeling.

Wayne - Keep up the good work.

Jeanean - Focusing on NOW is important, as you seem to know.

Bill- Truly powerful! Being happy is the key to everything. Our attitudes are so powerful. It can be so easy to be a grouch and grumble about everything. I make it my choice everyday when I get up to have a great day and to be grateful for everything that I experience that day.

Best wishes,

Pretty cool stuff, Dan!  I feel happy just having read this post!  So Thanks.

Wonderful post, Dan....and I agree completely. I liken it to the 'field' effect.

Awesome and inspiring post Dan.  You've made me rethink my slogan:  It's All About Lifestyle to "Lifestyle is a choice" (just like being happy is a choice).  I enjoyed reading your post and it made me happy!

Patricia - I'm glad to see that I helped you experience happiness today.

Jo-Anne - Thanks for your agreement.

Donna - I like "Lifestyle is a choice"

Thank you so much Dan,

 it is so good to read your posts, they give me the boosts I need when I need it. Just wanted you to know that you are appreciated here on active rain

Edi - It's my pleasure.  I'm glad to hear that my posts have given you a boost at times.

YES!  I just put a post up the other day with my newest favorite line.  Charlie Brown asks Linus what he wants to be when he grows up and Linus answers... "completely happy". It's right up there with "When I change the way I look at things, the things I look at change"

I love starting my morning out with these type of posts!

Well, I am sitting here reading blogs and finishing off the left over Halloween candy...I couldn't be happier!

Thanks for the reminder.

Wayne Dyer is one of my favorite writer... you're right. But the big challenge is for people who at this very moment have a loved one far, some war zone, or bed sick... and have a little trouble to feel happy!

Arina - Even the Bible says, "There is a time to weep and a time to laugh..."  It's important that we don't get stuck in negative emotions.  We can realize that what we feeling is negative and not in our best interest and begin to reach for a better feeling.
