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.

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.

If you lie cheat and steal, other may not know it , or you might pass this off as

I dont attend organised religious activities of any kind for any reason.

You might then wonder how an atheist believes in heaven and hell!

Well , I do.

The only difference is I dont believe you ‘go there’ when you die to pay for your sins or be rewarded for your good deeds.

I believe you enter heaven or hell a lot sooner than that , in fact while you are still very much alive,  and live in this ‘place’ for many years , based on your actions and intentions in life.

It is impossible unless you have psychopathic tendencies to live happily and in peace if you conduct yourselves in a less than happy and less than peaceful way.

Lie, cheat and steal, and lets say you never get caught, truth is you at the deepest level of your soul, know this is wrong .

Why?

Because if you know right from wrong, you of all people know of  your actions and intentions ( no matter how much you try to deny this or justify your  actions).

It is this knowing that never leaves you,  and is carried with you as a heavy burden that gets heavier over time.

This weight will wear you down, emotionally, spiritually and over time make your life anything but what it could/should be.

Dear Brian,

Hi my name is Rudi  and I am currently living in South Africa in a small town called Vanderbijlpark. At this moment I am studying for a Safety Officer due to the fact that I lost my job working for a Engineering Company that only used me to make money for themselves by selling my time. I lost everything because of this matter and I am trying to find my way back starting from scratch. I was send to go and work on a project in Ghana on a Gold Mine installing Crushers and Mills on the mine well that was not a easy task but it was a lifetime experience for me just to see how other African countries operate and the way people are living over there, its not the most beautiful country I would say but still something different as from here in South Africa. One morning on our way to work before we went to sign in at gates on the mine there was this ghana guy standing under a tree selling books for a living and I thought let me just go and have a look to see what he has to offer me. While going through the books I saw this red book with the name written on it How to Make Money out of Thin Air and it immediately caught my attention I then bought this book that cost me Ghc 8 that is 8 dollars more or less. To be honest with you that book changed my life in so many ways just to think how we are selling our time for nothing just to make a living for ourselves. Brian I just want to thank you for sharing all the information given in your book this is really some serious stuff and I believe that this information will help me build my own company one day and then share this secrets with all my colleagues, friends and family.

They say when a student is ready the teacher appears. This gentleman found his teacher under a tree in Ghana Africa…how great is that!

This answer could be complex but its actually quite simple really….

Most people become disappointed and disillusioned because they take on the dreams of others. They see and want what others have got,  and are rarely inward focused.

In other words, they are looking at life the wrong way!!!

Its no wonder they can never achieve their dreams.

How can you dream of becoming a world class super model, if you simply dont have the height or looks.?

You can’t, but you can look inwards at your own strengths and natural assets and become for example a world class teacher , or world class designer or anything else you have the talent to be.

In simpler terms , what I am suggesting is that people fail to live their dream because they covet what other people have and are not grateful for what they themselves have,  and pursue the wrong dreams.

What stands between you and living your dream,  is to take  inventory of yourself and become fantastically conscious and grateful for what you have,  ….and not what you dont have!

This is a life that is worth living , and one in which you will never be disappointed.

Remember the old saying…

Rich People get what they want!

Happy people want what they have!

There’s nothing wrong with being Rich , except being Rich and Unhappy.

Yet its one of the most important questions you must ask yourself.

WHAT ARE YOU CONSTANTLY THINKING ABOUT?

Why?

Because whatever is predominantly in your mind,  is what you are moving towards.

In other words if you  you want to become a millionaire( or a famous singer, athlete or just a good person) … Is this,  and the steps to get there,  are what you are thinking about-truthfully?

This is the secret behind THE SECRET.

This is how the law of attraction works.

Its because you are constantly thinking about something ( good or bad) which is why it appears. There is a process that happens when you are constantly thinking about getting or being something.

This process is  ’developing mental a plan’ consciously and subconsciously . Napoleon Hill refers to this as “Infinite Intelligence”

Your brain is an incredible piece of software that can and will become incredibly resourceful if the dream and desire is there to constantly think about it. Its this persistence and desire to having something badly enough that allows us to move toward it slowly or quickly for some.

Success is not a sprint…it’s a marathon,  which is why most people don’t succeed.

They want the prize but not the work and effort to get there, and why THE SECRET eludes them. This is the real SECRET behind the SECRET.

According to James Allen in his 1902 classic ‘As a Man Thinketh” a title taken from the bible, most of us are anxious to improve our circumstances yet unwilling to improve ourselves.

Prosperity and happiness cannot happen when the old self is stuck in its old ways.

Yet I have asked this hundreds of times and am  amazed at the answers.

99% of the time people think I am talking about money- either their accumulated assets or their value in terms of annual salary.

I purposely don’t elaborate as the answer is so revealing of what is going on inside that persons psyche and their level of self esteem.

Your worth and ability to accumulate assets has nothing to do with what you feel you should be paid by an employer or based on the market value of the work you do.

Your worth is measured and rewarded in direct proportion to the value you bring to other people.

This should give you a clue as to why Bill Gates has the wealth he has and why the founders of an unheard of company 15 years ago called Google are on their way to being amongst the wealthiest people on earth.
