I love to ask people what the most important thing is to them. Its a question we don't get asked often, or at all.
I’ve asked people from all around the world and they all say the same thing: It’s about being happy and content and fulfilled and loved and adventurous and having a purpose and etc etc…
What is the most important thing to you?
I bet you it has nothing to do with your goals or your possessions or your bank account or your job. It’s not about the external circumstances in your life.
These things are important - and fun - but the most important thing is an internal way of feeling about and being in life.
It’s not what you do, but how you do the things that you do. It’s not what you have, but how you relate to the things that you have.
It’s an important distinction because if you really get this you will connect the dots…
…and see that this most important thing in your life isn’t caused by anything.
It then can be a choice, a way of relating to the world where you get to decide.
It cannot be given to you and it cannot be taken away from you.
How wonderful is that?
You get to choose to be happy.
So: Choose to be happy. Choose to become that thing which is most important to you.
More on this tomorrow. Stay tuned.
