The most important cause of all of life, happiness, and the world being a better place. Who should we blame?

(Click on the title of this post to read the entire post.

I dare not address specific sensitive issues for people or in politics, but this illustrates what is going on in our current personal world and the world out there.  See if you can recognize what is happening and see if that realization will make a difference.  See the drawing and then link into at least 3 minutes of the linked video.

Where is the "power" for life?

"You've probably seen this little drawing around social media for months, but if not, allow me to share it with you.

This one never fails to make me smile..." The above is from Lewis Howe's email (which I  couldn't figure out how to link to, so I copied it) I also like the saying "if you're looking for a helping  hand, look at the end of your arm", not to deny our  role in helping others and its importance, but to point  out what will work best for people in life...

Lewis Howe asked a related question of Tony Robbins in his free podcast and the answer is in this video to watch (it is cued up at the right place, so you only need watch it for a few minutes), the link to it: it was a really interesting, powerful response.

Yes, the overall interview appears to be about one area of life, but it, indeed, is not.

Think about it!

All that matters in life is results, not rhetoric or doing what doesn't work for results.  The results I speak of can only be in the realm of benefitting human beings.  The only true ethic lies in doing the greatest total good for the people affected, without doing senseless harm to any one individual.  Being right (and making others wrong) has no value in and of itself or to the world - and it often creates damage.  Look around you and see what it is doing to people's lives and the world...

So do you believe this is true? Is happiness really a choice? Last week I was in Dallas for less than 24 hours for the chance to interview one of my favorite people on the planet, the one and only Tony Robbins. So I asked him this question (inspired by one of the questions you asked me via Facebook, thanks!). I shouldn't be surprised. Fact: There's something special about Tony Robbins. He's on another level. So when he answered, it was a really interesting,  powerful response. Essentially, he told me that as long as I tied my happiness to expectations, I'd be disappointed. But practicing gratitude will never disappoint. As he put it, “Trade your expectation for appreciation.” Yes! Pretty much, he put the cartoon above into an  actionable, how-to statement. He also explained, in amazing detail and clarity, how  to build unshakeable finances. Interestingly, the keys to financial freedom are really  similar to the keys to personal happiness and inner peace. I can't recommend watching this whole episode enough.  (If you've never seen Tony on camera or in person, you're  missing out.) My invitation to you today is simple -- Choose to focus on what you're grateful for in  every moment of stress or suffering (and get ready for your whole life to change). To your happiness and success, Lewis
