Create because you're a happy human

The secret

I recently wrote an article about how to develop the 'skill' of happiness.

Because happiness is a practice, an act, not a condition being met.

Things don't have to be a certain way for you to be happy if you are already happy by default.

And we are ALL happy by default.

Does that tingle you? Because it should.

A reader shared this question under that article:

"While cultivating inner peace is crucial, how do we balance this with the natural human drive for growth and ambition?

How do we pursue goals without falling into the trap of conditional happiness?"

Here's my answer:

"Inner peace is our natural state when we aren’t self-judging.

So is energy. So is our natural drive to want to create.

There's no reaching any of that if it is our default.

See wanting to reach objectives as a natural expression of your natural energy.

You're expressing happiness by being active and obsessed and ambitious.

You're doing it because that's who you are, not because you're trying to get things to become happier."

Think of it this way too:

Don't wait to feel happy to create. (Most do this)

Create because you're already a happy human. (Few do this)

Big difference.

If you'd like to be taken through a series of realisations to help cement this idea so you reduce your stress by 90% in a week...

You'll want to grab a copy of Untethered Mind.

Many people tell me this is a course unlike any other, and actually works.

Because it's not about the right 'tactics.'

It's about understanding how the mind works, and this course shows you how to do this fast.

Much love and good things,
