I read a saying once that said…

To be happy for an Hour take a nap

To be happy for a Week take a vacation

To be happy for a Month get married

To be happy for a Year get a large inheritance

But to be happy for a Life time….help somebody else!

There is no higher goal in life then to strive to be Happy…so go on and help somebody else!

The best way to do this is to enrich their lives not by giving them a handout …

but buy giving them a hand up !

You can do this many ways by helping physically, monetarily with a loan, or passing on some great insight into your hard earned experiences.

I have done this for many years and find my life is well enriched from the people I am priviledge to meet,  some I know and many I do not.

But,  it does not matter either way and here’s a sample of what you can expect.  Letters like this …well to be honest…make me happy-  not because I get them, but because Why I get them.

Daniel says, “Dear Brian,
I am sure you get bored by raving fans gushing over how fantastic your books are, how high a regard the have for you – and so on…
Oh well – here is another one! I have been a fan of yours for some time – “What rich people know & desperately want to keep a secret” is a book I have been recommending to people in the Cashflow club that I run for a while now. I confess it was a pleasant surprise not only to see you pop up in the ” suggested friends” part of FB – but that we already have friends in common. Can you add me to your friends list, please?
Kind regards
Daniel P”.

Thanks Daniel,…and no I dont get bored…I get Happy and hope you pass what you learn on to someone else to give them a hand.

One day, a son asks his dad, “Daddy, would you like to run a marathon with me?” The father says, “Yes”. And they run their first marathon together.
Another time the son asks his dad again “Daddy, would you like to run a marathon with me?” The father says, “Yes son”.
One day, the son asks his father “Daddy, would you run the Iron man with me?” The Iron man is the most difficult triathlon ever (2.4 mile swimming, 112 mile biking, 26.2 mile running) And the dad says, “Yes”. The story looks simple until you watch the following clip.

Integrity is a word throw around a lot.

But what most people dont appreciate is it’s one of the immutable laws of nature that if you dont have integrity you simply cannot succeed.

I am far from a religious man in the traditional sense of the word. I dont believe in the traditional theocracy. But I do believe in heaven and hell with a difference.

I dont think you die before you get there.

They say a coward dies a thousand deaths. Its in this sense I believe in heaven and hell.
