Are you happy? Are you living the life you've always dreamed about? If you are like most people, you're probably not overly excited about anything and don't know why. You're stuck in a rut, drifting aimlessly through life. How can this happen? It's simple. We live life haphazardly. We never take the time or make the effort to define what happiness means to us. We try this or that hoping that one day we land on the thing or things that will bring us happiness. However, true happiness is almost impossible to find through trial and error. True happiness comes through thoughtful evaluation of our lives by incorporating the things that give us satisfaction and meaning into the way we live our lives. Clearly identifying our priorities and freeing up resources to be used on the things that are most important to us are essential to finding real happiness. By refocusing our priorities and our limited resources on the people, activities, and things that give our lives meaning, we can find the happiness we are seeking.

Being successful at anything in life is not difficult. In fact, it is scary how simple it can be when you fully understand what it takes to be successful. When you break success down into its seven most fundamental elements and begin to focus on the things that are really important to being successful, success comes naturally. When we break the fundamentals of success down into its most basic elements, it unclutters the process and simplifies our path to success. How does it do this? We falsely believe that to be successful at anything the process has to be complicated. We've heard all our life that nothing worth accomplishing is ever easy. As a result, within a short period of time after we conceive an idea, we convince ourselves that we're not qualified to accomplish the thing or things we want to achieve, smart enough to understand what is involved, or because of its perceived complexity, we don't have enough time or energy to even try. What do we do? We talk ourselves out of trying before we even start. Simplicity is the key to everything in life. Focusing on the fundamentals of success unclutters the process and simplifies your path. The simpler anything is, the easier it is to achieve. Focusing on the fundamentals is the key to being successful at everything you do.
