I endured abuse as a child. I’m sure most people today have some scars from some sort of dysfunction in their early family life. My purpose here is not to tell horror stories, but I will tell you about how it has affected my life.

I grew up with an alcoholic father. This left me with more pity for him than anger. He tried to the best of his ability to teach us good values. As is typical, his addiction and relative lack of social skills left him distant, unreliable, and angry. Our family situation left my mother depressed emotionally distant as well. I was the oldest of 6 children, and felt responsible for the happiness and well-being of everyone. I am not looking for sympathy here. In fact, I am grateful for my experiences, as they have given me an empathetic perspective and determination. I did not enter adulthood without scars.

I ruined my first marriage because of my lack of trust and self-love. I had sworn that I would never bring children into this life to endure unhappy parents and divorce, and yet found myself in that very situation. The pain of it almost killed me, but I emerged ready to learn and change.

Getting rid of the insecurities and fears of my ego will be a lifelong process. But I can say that I can talk about my past now without tears. And, in contrast to the average 2nd marriage stats, mine is going really well. I credit this to being willing to look at my own faults.

I have always looked for ways to overcome my severe insecurities and deep-seated beliefs of being less-than or unlovable. I could recognize them, but had no idea how to change them. I am a very religious person, so I turned to my teachings there first. But, have been open to any new teaching or method that aligned with my current beliefs and offered hope.

I won’t go into each of them in detail, as I would have to write a book (maybe I will). I have found yoga, meditation, service to others, extreme exercise (marathons, 100-200 mile bike rides, tri-athlons) a business that helps me personally and financially, and loving 8 children unconditionally to be helpful in my journey of healing. I wish I would have learned long ago what I know now through my business that has taught me a lot about the Law of Attraction. Maybe I wasn’t ready to accept these concepts until now. Its funny how life throws things your way when it does.

The bottom-line in actually changing my MIND -that is all of those deeply ingrained inhibiting beliefs was quite simply gratitude and the decision to be happy. Yes, it sounds simple and it is. Why is that so hard for so many to find and grasp then? I think it is just that we think we are going to get something out of being miserable. Like, sympathy or revenge. We don’t want to let our abusers off the hook. Well, guess what? WE weren’t the ones who put them there, and we cant take them off. They’ll have to do that for themselves. And, we think that healing takes so much time and effort. It really just takes a decision.

Think of the 5 billion people who share this planet who you wouldn’t want to trade places with? Gratitude! I would dare say that in any given hour of your day there is somethin to be grateful for.

You are a human being, not a human DOING. So, stop trying to do things to make yourself feel better. Just BE. We learned more about what this means when visiting Ethiopia to get our two youngest children. In the face of poor living conditions, lack of food, and an orphan epidemic due to AIDS, most people were happy. They had discovered through tough circumstance that it is not circumstance that determines happiness, it is your mindset (or soulset), and a decision to be happy.

Believe me, I am not judging anyone who may be depressed, or has gone through difficult circumstances and is not happy. I have been there. I know that pain, and the work it sometimes takes to get through. I’m just hoping that my experience will help someone get to joy a little faster. It is how life was meant to be lived. “Men are that they might have joy.

Many people will be looking forward for drastic changes in their lives and the time will not just allow. Maybe you are one among them and wondering how to lead your life in a better way. There are many challenges that come along with self improvement and knowing these challenges is a good step in the right direction.

Some people may have a passion for business and are hoping to be successful but these two alone does not guarantee you to live your life fully, to change you life, or genuinely to be happy. To succeed financially is not a guarantee to create a feting life; this only brings poverty of the soul. Self growth is not measured on the amount of money or material things one has, but rather it is measured in terms of the quality of life or how happy an individual is at the long run.

To succeed in life an entrepreneur is required to have a right mindset. This is an important thing that all aspiring entrepreneurs should posses. If only your mindset is focused on success, all that you have been dreaming for will come to fruition.

There are a wide variety of resources that you can refer to so as to improve yourself. Such resources include self help books and information from the internet. They will help you have the know-how of hitting your targets and making quick accomplishments more easily in regard to wealth and general life. The greatest fear of life is fear.

Some of the self help books will help you learn on how to achieve your goals and ambitions and guide you on the simple techniques in your everyday life. You discover how to meet your targets and accomplish your highest potentials and more so you will think like somebody has already acquired wealth and success. People don’t succeed because there is a fear holding them back therefore these books are use in getting rid of this fear.

The reason why people do not succeed is that there is a fear holding them back and that is the reason why these books are available just to make you think positively about everything. You will unlock the potential of your mind and translate your dreams into reality. For you to succeed in life you have to be confident on everything you are doing and realize that there is no limitation on what you are about to do.
