Who wants to be healthy, wealthy and happy? We all do! How much health, wealth and happiness education do we receive through our standard education? Almost none! Having coached and trained over 100,000 people since 1992 I believe our problem and opportunity starts right there …
Every time I raise a glass I cheer “to Health, Wealth and Happiness!” We all have a story. At age 15 my life started to head away from those things and by 25 I hit an almost unbearable threshold of frustration and pain, so I started to study and apply anything and everything I could learn in those areas. And it started to work, rapidly. I was gathering and using tools to help me emotionally, physically, psychologically and spiritually. The real life results started to show up in my relationships, family cohesion and two children. Then it began to manifest in my sales skills, business, health, real estate and finally real happiness and alignment. In fact, I created such fast results and momentum for myself, I started to coach others on what I was doing. As the famous Joe Girard taught me, the world is full of ATANA’s – All Talk An No Action. I do, I succeed and then I teach. Are your current teachers and mentors healthy, wealthy and happy?
Having read hundreds of self help books (and published 3 myself), attending dozens of classes, getting certified in multiple disciplines and looking for ways to help my clients get what they want, my craving for constant improvement eventually brought me to Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica for two weeks in January of 2016 as I celebrated going into my 50th year. It was the month before it officially opened and our little group of 3 people was Rythmia’s very first group of guests! What I experienced, learned and then lived was pivotal. I returned year after year, to celebrate my birthdays, always visiting for two weeks. What I started to discover was what Brian Tracy called “Living A Life Of Trying Easier”. When who we are, what we do, and what we want are ALIGNED, we live in flow and ease without constantly trying to keep it held together with psychological or pharmaceutical duct tape and crazy glue.
That does not mean all challenges evaporate, that everyone around us is for our higher good or that the hurdles of life don’t appear. What being aligned means is that we remain grounded, standing strong in the winds of adversity, with increased resiliency, an inner assurance that we are enough, grateful for what we are experiencing and learning.
Even Mother Nature rewards strength, taking action, working hard, making adjustments and continually showing up! Nothing has any meaning except the meaning we give it, so keep choosing empowering meanings …
Like most of us, I have been through the ups and downs of family, loyalty and betrayal, corporate and self employed careers, marriage, children, health challenges with loved ones, accidents, financial ups and downs, real estate expansions and contractions, the unreal impact of “the germ” in 2020, separation, love, life and laughter!
I remember seeing the phrase “It is better to burn out than fade away” spray painted on a wall in Yugoslavia and it stuck with me. It has been, and continues to be, quite the ride! Exactly what we all signed up for …
The modalities I use for personal change can be context (the client shares the specifics of their situation) or non-context (the client only shares generalities) which means I don’t always need to know the exact details or issues the client (you) are trying to resolve. This approach guarantees absolute confidentiality and comfort for both parties as well as no need to feel uneasy or uncomfortable during the process.
Remember, we are all perfectly imperfect, exactly the same, yet totally different and are just walking each other home. Our journeys here are meant to be filled with challenges, achievement and fulfillment.
Are you ready to really live your life?
