Suze Orman reveals secret to happiness on Oprah today.

Do you know the secret to finding happiness?

If you do… then you are probably a relatively happy person most of the time.

If you don’t… then you might still be struggling and complaining, and you might even feel miserable most of the time.

Would you believe me if I told you that the choice is always yours?

That you get to choose whether to be happy or not?

I was watching the Oprah show today with Donna and Princess when I heard one of the best formulas for happiness that I’ve heard in a long time.

It made me sit up and listen.

Suze Orman, bestselling author and financial guru,  was one of Oprah’s guests today and during her interview she said,

“When you can make the average GREAT, your dreams can become a reality.”

Wow!

That is powerful.

You might feel that your life is ‘average’ and that your dreams are so far away that you will never be able to reach them.

That’s a common feeling when you are first beginning to make changes in your life.

You might even think that your ‘happiness’ will only show up after you achieve your dreams.

But that’s not how it works.

In reality, your dreams show up after you choose to be happy right now.

You see, one of the reasons that you might be struggling to reach your dreams is because you are too negative about your life right now. You might not think you are being overly negative, but if you examine your thoughts and feelings you may discover otherwise.

Too much negativity prevents you from reaching your dreams because:

• You can’t focus on your dreams and take advantage of opportunities to move forward if you are too busy whining and complaining about how bad things are.
• You can’t maintain a sense of hope and optimism about your future if you are are too busy feeling sorry for yourself and putting yourself down all day long.
• You can’t make empowered decisions if you are hiding from the truth.

Take a hard look at your life right now. Look at your attitudes and mindset. Look at where you are placing your attention and focus.

If you are focused on all the things that are wrong with your life you really can’t be surprised that you are unhappy. Happiness is not about your circumstances or your problems. Happiness is about how you feel about those circumstances and problems.

Your life may seem ‘average’, but average compared to what?

Your dreams are anything but average, right?

Your dreams of a GREAT life for yourself and your loved ones are just waiting for you to take action and move towards them.

But that can seem hard to do that when you are frustrated and unhappy with your situation, I know… I’ve been there.

The key to making your dreams a reality, as Suze Orman said on Oprah today, is to make the average GREAT, in other words, you have to take what you have now and accept it and embrace it.

How do you do that?

• Where ever you are, what ever you are doing, you should do it the best that you can.
• Whatever situation you find yourself in make the most of it.
• Vow to succeed in spite of your past mistakes, in spite of your challenges, in spite of your fears.

It is important to remember that choosing to be happy right now does not mean that you have to be happy with the circumstances of your life or that you have to like the challenges or problems you have  in your life right now.

It does mean that you have to accept them.

That’s all.

Accept them.

Stop fighting and resisting and giving your energy to all those things that you don’t want anyway!

Choose instead to be the best YOU that you can be right now.

Think about it:

What will it take to bring your dreams into reality?

What will it take to make tomorrow GREAT?

Can you really expect to manifest your desires by being ‘average’ today?

Can you honestly expect to be happy tomorrow if you don’t change how you feel today?

Do you see how this works? Being happy is a choice. Reaching your dreams is a choice.

Choose well!
