So in the beginning , I found um that a lot of like the religious stuff that I was reading was not helpful . And uh I wasn't quite ready for the scientific stuff , but I was interested in some of the self help stuff and a lot of the new age stuff . So I remember pretty early on in this journey finding like Abraham Hicks , you know , Abraham Hicks is extraordinarily helpful for me , you know , because it was just like a reminder that you deserve to feel good .
You nailed it . I mean , so um yeah , any time we blame anybody or anything for our unhappiness or for the way we feel in general , we render ourselves powerless to do anything about it . If , if they're responsible for the problem , they must also be responsible for the solution .
Happiness does lead to success and happy people intuitively know that even if they don't know the research around it , there's a very strong good sense within them , that happiness is up to them and it's their choice . And so they actively actually practice leaning into more constructive , more supportive thoughts and stories about everything that's happening to , to , to them or you know , happening in their life . So , yeah , I would say that there's uh that , that for sure they don't believe or think that happiness is in the future and in the world they know it's in the present and it's within themselves .
So I'm all about empowering people um by reminding people that nobody and nothing can feel , make you feel anything without your own consent . Um So you're providing and always you have the power within you to choose what you think if you think how you feel . Um That doesn't mean you always have um power immediately .
So we're all these like little happiness industries , joy industries running around and we don't think about it that way , but ultimately , whatever it is we want to achieve , accomplish or a choir , we only want to achieve , accomplish and acquire it because we think we'll feel better for having it . So instead of rounding it through all these middle people and middle things and middle activities go straight to the source for it and that source is always within you . Of course .
