The Happiness Foundation...
Every successful PROCESS
begins with a solid FOUNDATION. To me, SUCCESS and HAPPINESS go HAND IN HAND.
You can have lots of money, fame, a great job, testimonials, etc., etc., etc. -
but if you are not happy, do you really FEEL successful? Is success really
measured ONLY by the material possessions that one has achieved, inherited,
etc.? I don't think so: there are a lot of rich, yet miserable people in this
world. What are they missing? In simple terms, a HAPPINESS FOUNDATION,
otherwise defined as a POSITIVE MINDSET...
WHAT'S THAT???
As human beings, we are
all born with the GIFT of CHOICE. We can CHOOSE HAPPINESS rather than CHOOSING
to get hung up on what others think and say, what the media says, comparing
ourselves to others, complaining and criticizing, blaming and making excuses,
and on and on. Yes, being hung up on these things is a CHOICE. Yes, it's often easier
said than done to choose happiness, but it IS a CHOICE and you can go there any
time you want...
BUT WHAT DOES A POSITIVE MINDET HAVE TO DO WITH NETWORKING??

True Win-Win Relationships
(the result of the Networking Process) only occur between positive, selfless
people. People who concentrate on feeling sorry about and correcting what is
lacking in their lives emanate feelings of lack. There is no lack in Win-Win,
only Unconditional Giving...
HOW does one DEVELOP and MAINTAIN a POSITIVE
MINDSET???
Here are some things you
can do - some habits you can develop...
·
Get up every
morning, look in the mirror and SMILE because there is an AWESOME person
smiling back with UNLIMITED POTENTIAL...
·
GIVE OF YOURSELF
UNCONDITIONALLY!! When you are doing so, it is IMPOSSIBLE not to feel great!
·
Overpower
negative thoughts with thoughts of GRATITUDE... Negative thoughts don't
disappear but they can be overpowered by positive ones!!
·
Do a GRATITUDE
JOURNAL - write in it every day - read it every day.
·
BURY THE PAST!
The ONLY moment we EVER live in is the PRESENT MOMENT so ENJOY IT!!!
·
STOP COMPLAINING,
CRITICIZING & JUDGING - there are NO Scorecards in Life... Instead, make
every day “Catch Someone Doing Something Good Day” and let them know!!!
·
Surround yourself
with POSITIVE PEOPLE!!
·
TURN OFF THE NEGATIVE
MEDIA!!
·
Take a DEEP
BREATH… Relax… Meditate...
·
Work on your
personal development daily...
·
Find your life's PURPOSE and WHY and live it! This is
the next Component of Networking Success and next month's Blog (January
7) will discuss doing just that...
FOOD FOR THOUGHT during this Holiday Season:
While you are out
spreading Holiday Cheer to your loved ones, friends, and other acquaintances, why
not use the above tips to GIVE YOURSELF THE GIFT OF HAPPINESS!
NOTE: There
is lots of negativity in the world and many negative, unhappy people as a
result of THEIR CHOOSING to be influenced by it... Do not think for a minute
that just because others are unhappy, it is selfish for YOU to be happy. You
can't control them, only yourself. To
Repeat: their unhappiness is their choice - your happiness is yours and
guess what: HAPPINESS IS CONTAGIOUS so it can eventually be their choice too (especially
after hanging around enough with positive people like you)!!
I wish you a happy,
healthy and peaceful Holiday Season - CHEERS!!

Loved your Blog Chip. Sounds like we need to listen carefully to ourselves to weed out the "humbug" choices we may make. I love your statement about hanging out with positive -selfless people. As I read you blog I thought "now there is a word that is seldom used" selfless. When we smile at our audience members and speak to them we are really facilitating them into action and that is being selfless Thanks for your happiness it rubbed off. Happy Holodays!
ReplyDeleteWell said Chip. Expressing gratitude, choosing to be happy, giving and being present are all ways to strengthen your networking foundation.
