What is the secret to an amazing good life?

30 replies
Hi Guys, I was just reading more books again. And outlier by malcom galdwell really struck a chord inside me.

Socialism does not do well. If everyone does the same thing, everyone will get equal results.

What does it take to be successful then?

Clearly, you must do whatever it takes to be an outlier! and to be an outlier, means that one needs to take risk and stand out.

It means you need to go through the phase of being shamed by others, letting others tell you that this way is the wrong way....

And because this is the 'wrong way'! Then actually, it is the right way to be a true outlier!

Opinions guys!

    The majority of people is unsuccessful in any business/area of life.
    Why should you take the same path, if that is the case?

    Thinking outside the box is an important skill.

      I completely agree with you. I've always looked around me and watch people struggle with various problem in this life. And my conclusion is that in order for me to live and experience differently in life than them, I must take a completely different path than them in life. So far so good for me, I am glad that I am living by that principle today.

    An equilibrium of activities that add to your overall growth.

    Could be a mixture of: Martial Arts, Bodybuilding, Personal Growth, Research and Visualization. Also escapades in nature, philosophy and a tendency to evolve.

    Good place to commence. In short, activities that keep the mind and psyche busy. Everything else will gravitate in the trip to self-discovery and acknowledgement.

    To have have an amazing good life everyone should only mind their own business and be mindless of the others.

    Focus on building a good life for yourself without any envy or jealousy from others.

    Be happy with people you are already on top and make them an inspiration to your journey.

    Hey Hubert!

    Really awesome post and in fact, I couldn't agree with you more.

    Following the herd and doing the same thing that everyone else is doing will only get us so far. For instance, we are all internet marketers, but there are a very small percentage who see dramatic success because they decided to get outside their comfort zone and do things outside the norm.

    They differentiated themselves from the masses and was willing to go the extra mile that the majority of marketers weren't.

    Right now, I make a full time income online and I can remember a while back when I was in many different biz opps doing the same thing that everyone else was doing, over and over, and expecting to rise to the top. Talk about insanity. . . i know LOL

    It wasn't until I started going different routes in my marketing when I saw my breakthrough and experienced success that I never thought possible.

    Really appreciate the post and will definitely look forward to others in the future :-)

    Shalom

    gladwell's stuff is great but easy to get wrong ..

    right now .. im not in the best financial state.. but i just moved to las vegas a month ago ..

    i will use an analogy..of going into a casino...say everying in the casion is there by choice ...with no addiction and playing with money they can lose ..

    is the person playing black jack .. gor 25 dollars a hand .. a failure compared to the people playing for 100 a hand .. and are they failures because they are not playing poker for high stake ..and are the people playing slot machines for 25 cents or a doller a spin just loser compared to the black jack table or the poker table people ..

    how about the restaurants is the person who gets a 7 dollar hamburger a failure compare to the guy eating the 30 dolar plate of filet minion and lobster ..

    from someone who does not have the money to do a lot of the things i want to do right now ..

    there is no secret.. out of the 30 plus million millionaires on the planet and the number of people who can live very well and are not millionaires yet.. 99 percent of them probably made their money.. in boring ..regular ..every day industries .. the millionaire plumbers ..the house flippers the real estate agents ..people who grow specialty high value high demand crops will be the next wave ..

    so the secret .. is to identify ..the things you want in your life and do what you need to do to get them ..
    if a person wants to live in a camper van or an rv.and they make enough money online and other ways to travel around in their van and live different places.. where they want to live ..

    are they a failure because they do not live in a big mansion..and drive expensive cars ..

    how about if you live in a 30000 dolar sailbouat and travel around that way.. are you a failure because you are not living in the mansion ..working 10 hours a day or more so you can own another mansion.. or another one ..

  • I came across this yesterday! Thought I shared it.

    Jack Ma on Sales: 'When doing Sales, the first people who will trust you will be Strangers, Friends will be shielding against you, fair-weather friends will distance from you. Family will look down upon you.'

    The day you finally succeed, paying the bill for every get-together dinner, entertainment, you will realised: Everyone else is present except the Strangers.

      This really surprises people. I've heard many stories where once you start to succeed and make changes in your life - the people closest to you will start to resent you.

      This isn't because they want you to fail but your progress & desire to improve makes them feel insecure.

  • I would say happiness is the backbone to an amazing life. When you feel happy you can start building from that foundation to get whatever you want. The trick is that with this model you are happy the whole time you pursue your goals. Not just when they finally arrive.

    It appears a lot of people wait for their goals to be manifest to feel great and feel pain until they come true.

    Imagine instead already feeling great while working diligently on your goals. Quite a bit more pleasant (and likely to turn out a lot better) than if you took action while in a state of feeling negative and hopeless.

    So I would say happiness is an awesome force in creating success...

    I think having good perspective and a sense of gratefulness are the key elements to living an amazing life.

    There's always someone better off and worse off then me so the ability to look around and be grateful for what I have on a daily basis is the best way I can have an amazingly good life today and today is all that I can control and all I feel.

      Happiness comes and goes. That's Life.

      As I learned from (Rick Warren) "The Purpose Driven Life"
      Joy is a choice: It's something that you can choose to be. And it all begins with your thoughts.

      It's difficult to change your emotions. However you can influence them by changing your thoughts and actions. As Mr. Bill mentioned, gratitude is a massive component to increasing Joy. There's always something to be grateful about.

      Life is amazing: We all have the opportunity to live the life of our dreams: And create massive value in exchange for our hard work.

        i'm bi polar it is very easy for my emotions to change and flip ..now there are environmental factors ..and acrivity factors that will make it easier for me to be happy..and if im in a cold environment with crappy weather.. its hard for me to be in a happy mood with even the best self talk .. i've spent a huge amount of time trying to explain that to people..and when i state that i am just going to live places it is warm all or most of the year ..no one ever seems to get it and say that make sense ..it was more like are you sure isn't there some medication you can take ..

        maybe part of the secret to having the best life is actually solving our own problems instead of treating them or dealing with them..or coping .. most people are focused on a long list of reasons to be misserable and at the first sign of happiness that last any length of time they get online and look for stories of people in bad situation so they can feel misserable again ..

        it gets much easier to be happy as you remove things from the reasons to be misserable list ..

        the secret to a better life..fix your problems ..and understand you wil always have 100 problems to solve in your life ..so there is always at least 100 ways to make your life better .

          I hear what you're saying Odahh. I've overcome Social Anxiety, Depression, and Schizophrenia. Something to remember is that every problem brings with it an opportunity of equal or greater benefit. (See: "Think And Grow Rich.")

          maybe part of the secret to having the best life is actually solving our own problems instead of treating them or dealing with them or coping ..
          I think solving our problems is ideal, however treating and/or dealing with them and coping would be good too.

          most people are focused on a long list of reasons to be miserable and at the first sign of happiness that last any length of time they get online and look for stories of people in bad situation so they can feel miserable again ..
          That's definitely a problem. People become "consumed" with their problems and look online to validate what's happening to them. There's nothing wrong with that providing that they're focused on overcoming said problems.

          Sorry I couldn't be more helpful Odahh. You're a really likeable chap.
          : )

          Cheers,
          Jonathan

  • Well, this is a broad question that could have an elaborate answer... but that's what books are for. I would recommend some books to you. Most specifically Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Another less popular book is The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace Wattles.


    My advice for being successful is a little less accepted as practical. But I'm not a practical person.


    I believe the single most important rule to success is GRATITUDE.


    A life of gratitude will develop into a life of success. True, unwavering gratitude.
