Spark Notes

There is a humongous circle of people surrounding you, and they’re all waiting for you.

Waiting and hoping.

Hoping you’ll notice them and allow them to help you.

Things that are weighing you down come easily to them.

They even find them fun.

Hard to imagine, but it’s true.

So make their day. Invite them to help you.

Who is going to be the lucky one today?

… tomorrow?

… and the next day?

You catch my drift?

I’m a student of the science of happiness and do you know what I’ve learned?

There are really only two emotional states: joyously happy and able to become joyously happy.

What’s it going to be for you today? I’m not saying it’s easy, but it is up to you.

Let’s play a game. The only rule is that you have to take action whenever your head and heart agree.

That means when you’re asked, you say, “yes;” when the door opens, you walk through; when you get the urge to jump, you take the leap.

Only if it feels right, of course.

Game on!

Have you ever considered that the person who is barring the door to your success may be the same one who holds the key?

Sure enough.

I won’t mention any names, but it begins with [insert your name here]…

 

Use the key!

There will soon come a day when you will have reached the top of the mountain, achieved success beyond your wildest imagination, mastered fame and fortune, changed the lives of so many for the better and you won’t be able to remember when you thought it to be impossible because it will be so easy and feel so natural. 

Mark my words.

I will be there to walk down memory lane with you. It will be fun to play, “Remember when….?”

No matter what you want you already have what it takes.

Yep. No kidding.

If you believed that with all your heart – I mean really wrapped your brain around it – what might you do differently today?

Well, I say, “Go for it!”

One of my favorite quotes is from David Lykken, a behavioral geneticist who discovered:

“Happy is as happy does.”

The point being that nearly half of our happiness is determined by our thoughts and actions.

So even when it’s difficult to be happy you can still act happy.

How are you “doing happy” today?

Your collective past experience, even as recent as what just happened yesterday, has positioned you perfectly for the mega-wonderful thing that’s waiting in the wings for you.

Every unexplainable scene change, plot twist and antagonist has been part of the preparation.

So, now that the stage is set, what can you do to demonstrate your readiness to move from understudy to star?

I want you to do something daring. Take a moment and compare yourself to those who are already doing what you want to do.

Then ask yourself: “Are they more deserving, inherently smarter, more spiritually connected or willing to work harder than you?”

I already know the answer.

Their success is not due to any of those things. It arrived, as it always does, simply because they believed it would, expected it to, and behaved accordingly.

What do your actions say about what you believe and expect?
