Hello, I'm Brian Tracy and today I want to talk to you about how to live a happier, more fulfilled life. Basically the great goal of everybody In a busy world, it's very easy to feel as if you are unhappy or unfulfilled. Maybe you feel as if you do not have enough money or your relationships are not where you want them to be. You may easily catch yourself wondering if I just had this or that, then I would be happy. This, by the way, is very famous. As if then thinking it's amazing how many people live their whole lives. If then, if, then, if I had this, if I could have that, and so on, then I, I would be happy. The truth is, fulfillment cannot always come from material things. In fact, easily 85% of fulfillment does not come from material things. It comes from emotional things. It comes from people and relationships and inner knowledge and so on. So fulfillment is a mindset and happiness is found when you can reflect and find contentment. Here are seven steps that you can take to feel more fulfilled and happy right now. First, surround yourself with positivity. A great deal of your happiness, maybe 85, 90%, can be affected by your environment. If you notice that you spend too much of your time with people who have a negative impact on your mood or attitude, it may be time to branch out and connect with people who make you smile and push you toward positivity. Second, you must visualize success. All change in your external world begins with a change in your mental pictures. Give yourself goals to reach, whether in your personal or professional life. Maybe you want to lose weight or go back to school for a higher degree and more career opportunities, or you want to drink more water. Whatever you are wanting to accomplish is you are most likely to be successful if you set tangible goals. After you have set these goals, implement a plan to achieve them step by step and spend time visualizing what it will take to be successful, what you will look like if you are successful. Third is celebrate your accomplishments. When you achieve success and reach your goals or a goal, it is incredibly important to celebrate those wins and reward yourself in some way. Give yourself recognition for a job well done. This can be done by going out with friends for the night or buying that one thing that you have been holding off on, or spending a day treating yourself or simply doing anything to celebrate that you have accomplished a goal. Next, take charge. It is often too easy to put others in charge of your own happiness. Such as a spouse or friend. The truth is that you are completely responsible for your own happiness and your own fulfillment. Instead of blaming other people or things for your lack of happiness, take the matter into your own hands and find ways to be fulfilled no matter what comes your way or how others treat you. Fifth, Help others. A great way to feel fulfilled is to share what you have with other people. This can include time or money or skills. If you are using these resources to benefit others, you are sure not only to help them out, but you will also add to your own happiness. Sixth, take care of yourself. Even though it is great to help others, it is vital that you do not overlook your own needs. Give yourself rest when you need it. Lead a healthy and active lifestyle. If you are taking care of yourself, you'll be much more able to influence others around you and you'll feel much happier overall. Seventh, find the good in others. While it may seem as if there is little to cherish in your life at times, you must look within and acknowledge that the things that are going right. Find the situations and people in your life for which you are grateful and focus on these. Develop an attitude of gratitude. Focusing on the positives will not only help you to feel a great sense of fulfillment, but will also allow you to identify the areas in your life where changes could be made.
