011 – How To Be Happy – Being Happy When All Hell Is Breaking Loose
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
So you want to know how to be happy?
Well, being happy is not just a choice, it’s a strategy.
Most people have decided that they want to be happy, however many people don’t have a strategy for being happy in the face of overwhelming opportunities to be unhappy.
In today’s episode of The Success Sculpting Show you’re not only going to learn how to be happy, you’re going to get a specific battle-tested strategy for being happy even when all hell is breaking loose around you and the number of reasons to be unhappy far outweigh the reasons to be happy.
So let’s get to it, click the play button above to start listening to this latest podcast Episode..
Here are the Show Notes for this Episode.
- As kids we would have fun playing in the sandbox creating little cool sculptures with our friends.
- As adults, we’ve migrated from the sandbox into what I call the sadbox.
- There we use the fragile pieces of our past to build monuments to our mistakes and castles to our past carelessness that keeps us held down in unhappiness.
- Sometimes are happiness is not based on how we feel about what we’ve done, but based on how other people feel about what we’ve done.
- So the knobs that can turn up or turn down our happiness are under someone else’s control.
- Thus, we are not the cause of our own happiness, we are the effect of happiness because we wait for others to gives us the approval to be happy with their stamp of approval, acceptance and appreciation.
- Just think about the extent of unhappiness one can have if it was based on other people’s appreciation of what we’ve done or acknowledgement of what we’ve done.
- Attack:
- “You know, you should really be unhappy about…”
- 5 Step Counter-Attack
- 1. “I am unhappy about…” (Acknowledge it!)
- 2. “But what I am happy about is…” (Counter it!)
- 3. “What I’m also happy about is…” (Stack it!)
- 4. “What excites me about that is…” (Crush it!)
- 5. “Just imagine…” (Elevate it!)
*Break Down The Discouragement
- 1. Discard the personal discord (self-hatred, self-rejection, self-condemnation) to create harmony
- 2. Discharge and release the feelings of guilt, shame and pity
- 3. Discover and dismantle unforgiveness, bitterness, blame and witchcraft
- 4. Discontinue all victim-hood.
*Build Up The Encouragement
- 1. Discover your joys (focus is the fuel, experience calm in chaos and harmony in havoc)
- 2. Discuss what makes you happy (conversation choice, complaining is a choice)
- 3. Disclose your love to others (saying “I love you” allows you to feel and experience the love yourself)
- 4. Be a disciple of of gratitude, not a victim of ingratitude

010 – How To Know Thyself – Lessons In Self-Awareness And How It Impacts Your Success
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
- When we don’t know ourselves, we create substitutes.
- We substitute a life of substance for a life of substance abuse.
- We prostitute our true identities for the coins of social acceptance.
- We are addicted more to what others think than to what God thinks.
- So we don’t have self-esteem, we have shell-esteem
- There’s no self-confidence, just shell-confidence
- And our self-image is replaced with a shell-image
- This is because what’s left of ourself is just the shell of ourselves, of who we really are.
- Hard on the outside, hollow on the inside.
- At the same time, we are fragile and easily fracture and fragmented when something or someone says or does anything to malign the fake self we are aware of and try to protect.
- Impress someone else (Acts of idolatry to want their approval as if they are our God)
- Stress the thoughts and opinions of someone else (Acts of slavery to allow the words of others to snare our souls)
- It impresses those we idolize.
- It lifts us up to become the next idol to be idolized (worshiped) by others
- When you know yourself, you can encourage yourself instead of discourage yourself.
- When you know yourself, you can support yourself instead of sabotage yourself.
- When you know yourself, you can trust yourself.
- Trusting yourself is a prerequisite to taking action
- Taking action is a prerequisite to success in anything and everything
- Psychological/Emotional (mind)
- Eternal (spirit)
- Physiological (body)
- Interconnected (Spirit, Soul and Body)
- Co-Dependent ”Think it (mind), Do it (body) Endure it (Spirit)“
- Trusting Yourself & Peace of Mind (Attacked by fear and anxiety)
- Self Image/Identify &, Worth (Attacked by rejection and low-self esteem)
- Decisiveness (Attacked by confusion, doubt and uncertainty)
- People want to define you and confine you (Molding who you are)
- People want to control you (Directing who you are)
- People want to censor you (Smothering who you are)
