Happy People Succeed Easier

You made it! The next Lesson  has arrived, and you're actually reading it. This tells me that you're committed to achieving a new kind of success in your life. A success that is fulfilling, satisfying, and gratifying now, on your journey to success, rather than when you finally achieve success.

Reading this lesson right now, in this moment, is an indicator that your life is changing. The very fact that you are reading these words is an indication that your life is moving forward and that you're making changes. Congratulations to you! Congratulations to moving beyond The Drunk Monkey and all of its insanity, and taking action in a way that is going to be positive and productive, so let me begin our lesson today with this idea.

Happy People Succeed Easier
Happy people are more attractive, more charismatic, easier to do business with, and happiness can aid in your success. Happiness can become a tool that you use to drive your business.

When you are fulfilled and satisfied now, when you are feeling amazing and energized, everything works better. You're more in a flow and things just happen, good positive, amazing things happen, and it makes you even more optimistic and you get on a positive upward spiral, and you're hard to beat, and you're faster to market. You're quicker to make a decision. These traits make you much more effective than you were before, and they are accessed by the energy of happiness. Inspiration!

Stop protecting yourself from all the people who aren't attacking you.
The Drunk Monkey in your head has one goal, to keep you alive longer. It was conditioned from birth to believe and trust the people who were in your tribe; the people who raised you.

The Drunk Monkey becomes convinced that these people are doing it the right way and everyone else is doing it the wrong way. The Drunk Monkey gets conditioned into believing these behaviors (your behaviors) are right, and those behaviors (done by others) are wrong. This makes you exclusive rather than inclusive. When you're exclusive and you encounter someone who behaves differently then you, you to go into a state of resistance. When you're in resistance, you cannot be harmonious, happy, and peaceful.   Resistance is repelling.

When you're resisting, when you're in a state of negativity, you're declaring that they are wrong, and you are right. The moment you declare someone wrong is the moment you go into an energy of negativity. Negativity is not attractive to the things that you want, Negativity is attractive to the things that you don't want. When you're in a negative state, you lack optimism.

I just got off the phone with a client. She has been prospecting like a mad woman, and she is finding more leads than she has ever found in her entire life, and loving it, but she is going through a transition that all prospectors go through, which is the understanding that not every prospect will lead to a sale. She has one particular prospect that she made this incredible pitch to. She felt very optimistic about him saying yes. The prospect responded in kind and was so excited, and when she made the proposal, she never heard from him again, and she started to make up all of these stories about how wrong he was, and she was mad, and ticked off, he's an idiot, and he doesn't get it, and, and, and.

All of these negative hallucinations about how wrong he was and if he only knew, only made her more angry and upset. Of course, when she finally did call him, she was not in an optimistic place, and after our conversation, she realized that she was resisting him, which caused him to run away.

My friend.  Nobody is attacking you. If a person doesn't want what you want, it doesn't mean that they're wrong. Because somebody operates in a different way than you operate, it doesn't mean that they're attacking you and that they're wrong. People are just doing what they're doing. They're making decisions and choices that are best for them in the moment, based on what they've experienced in their lives. It has nothing to do with you.

Even more importantly, you are not psychic. You can't read people's minds. You don't know what they're thinking, yet if your listen to The Drunk Monkey (that talking in your head) it operates as if it is psychic.  The talking in your head believes that it does know what people are thinking, and it makes things up about people. The Drunk Monkey makes things up about how they should behave and why behave the way they do.  But The Drunk Monkey doesn't have a clue why people are the way they are.  The Drunk Monkey wants to dominate people by making them wrong.  Give this up! Let go of your resistance to others. Stop protecting yourself from all of the people who aren't attacking you. They are just being themselves, which happens to be different than what you expect.  Someone else's opinion is not dangerous to you.

Homework
Notice how the people all around you are simply doing the best they can. Stop resisting their attitude, their mind set, their behavior. Stop pretending that you are the ruler of the universe. Stop pretending that all people should bow down to your infinite wisdom and operate in life the way that you operate in life.

Remember that everybody has been trained by different groups, and therefore have different ways of operating, and nobody is right or wrong. If in fact, you want to experience happiness and utilize that energy to achieve success, you must let go of your resistance to others.
