Yesterday we talked about The Happiness Equation (book) -we talked about 7 ways to be happy right now But I want to get super practical with you right now…. This is episode where you want to take notes… See, often times we get in a place where we sorta feel STUCK…WHERE DO WE START -we might be working on all the right things, but we really just need a “hard reset" So today I want to give you a very tangible strategy for SELF ASSESSMENT and PRACTICAL RESULTS There have been many times in my life when I have been overwhelmed or even STUCK Its in these times that my mentor, and now partner, Robert Stuberg would sit me down and refer me back to something he calls the PEARL constellation. -I’ve mentioned this on an episode about a year ago, but I feel its time to revisit it for you. First let me give you a little context…. Robert talks about how for many years he was trying to develop a formula for “navigating through life”…following the path for success… -this is something we need when we are maybe not making the “process we’d like to make” -we need something to “guide us”, like Milestones or a Compass so to speak Well Robert came up with 5 words that I believe really encompass the essence of the life we are hoping to experience and he has proven through mentoring thousands of people to be a huge benefit when we are needing direction or focus in life….leading us to ultimate happiness…. The words form an acronym called PEARL. P…E…A…R…L… P…Philosophy E…Emotions A…Activity R…Results L…Lifestyle If you are not getting the Results, Happiness, or Progress you want in life I know that going through these 5 times, like Robert did with me, will help you to RECALIBRATE your life and get back on track. I am going to go through these 5 areas and I recommend you do a self assessment of the areas by rating yourself, now and in the future on a scale from 1-10 in each area. This will help you to determine where you need to adjust your course, priorities and focus. What I’m going to do is read from something that Robert Put together called the LIFEHANDBOOK…I’ll give you more on this later but for now, I want to go through these areas in “his words not my own” so you will get the REAL and AUTHENTIC Message behind each area... Ask Yourself the following Questions… 1-What do I believe about myself or about life that isn’t true? (Philosophy) reference life handbook 2-What am I feeling that I don’t want to feel? (Emotions) reference life handbook 3-What am I doing that I don’t want to do? (Activity) reference life handbook 4-What am I getting or not getting in my life compared to what I want to get? (Results) reference life handbook 5-How am I living my life on a daily basis compared to how I want to live? (Lifestyle) reference life handbook These are the 5 areas that I believe you can continuously work on, track and progress in to create happiness in your life. Once again they are the The PEARL Constellation, by Robert Stuberg… I encourage you to take a moment and go back through this podcast to really dig deep into these 5 areas. I promise that if you do, you will find areas to adjust and refocus in your life and you will ultimately get back on track, unstuck and create a better version of yourself… Life I always say…It’s never to late to start living the life you were meant to live and create the best version of yourself on a day to do basis. That’s my message for today and I look forward to talking with you more tomorrow….
I'd like to do something different today.... We are going to talk specifically about Prosperity Pillar #7 and I'm going to highlight a recent book I've read. I will also give you 7 specific strategies that you can use to generate happiness immediately in your week. But, along with this episode, I am including my personal notes that I created for this episode so you can see into how I put the episode together for you. I hope you enjoy... :) Choose Happiness….Prosperity Pillar #7 let me ask you a question…. Are you addicted to the future? have you ever thought about that before Yes, your vision of the future is Driving You…. Yes, your future life motivates you… But, does your vision of the future rob you of the happiness of the present? Is your future life continually pushing your happiness in life further and further out of reach? I have experienced this myself, so i know how it feels. I had a pretty interesting experience today driving home from my morning workout. I finished what i have to say is a pretty long and hard workout…i was trying to push myself further today. maybe it was to use the time to gain clarity or maybe it was just routine, but it was a good workout. afterward i got in my car and headed home. i turned on my normal affirmation audio as i usually do and…. i hit the button on the center console of my car so that was programmed to have my seat massager turn on and start a “fast vigorous massage”….i had set that setting in the computer of the car to give me a little relaxation on the way home then something hit me out of the blue… maybe it is because i knew this week would be about Choosing happiness or maybe i was just in the zone…. but i realized that i was driving down the road literally getting a massage in my leather seats and hadn’t even realized how crazy and cool that really was….i had been taking it for granted because i am usually too consumed with wh ti need to do to go tot eh “next level” or get to that future vision of what i wanted….. Now side note…i am not telling you this to impress you….on the contrary i am telling you this to impress upon you that AND LISTEN CLOSELY HERE….if you dont train yourself to enjoy what you have in the present you will be conditioned not to appreciate it when you get it in the future….i know from experience…. now of course i practice gratitude, but how you do anything is how you do everything. how many times during the day are you appreciating the “little things in life”….. the ability to actually wake up and be alive the gift of health or relationships or freedom of religion or occupation how bout appreciation of the ability to choose what job or corner or business you’d like to start how about the fact hat we live in an age of the internet that that you can learn, grow, accomplish or be “anything” do you enjoy and appreciate the people in your life, the relationships that support you… or are you too consumed with the future life you’d like to have? the better life…the life you are trying to create…the future vision that isn’t even real…. this reminds me of a quote from the dahlia lama…he said we ned to learn how to want what we have NOT to have what we want in order to get steady and stable Happiness. I’ve heard this quote before but his time it made me recognize the idea or thought that we need to LEARN how to want what we have…. so i believe that this week id like to focus our thoughts on yes PP#7 I choose happiness, but more importantly i wan to focus on the action of learning to be happy…because i believe that CHOOSING HAPPINESS IS SIMPLY LEARNING TO BE HAPPY AND GRATEFUL WITH YOUR ACTIONS “DAILY” NOT WORDS OR A ONE TIME DECISION… I mean i have always felt it is a little weird that people would say “I choose happiness” without backing it up with a process, system or explanation of how to do that…so this week lets talk specifically about how to ACTIVELY CHOOSE HAPPINESS THROUGH YORU ACTIONS AND DAILY ACTIVITIES… so, before i let you go i want to give you something practical to try and think about…. I recently started reading back through a book I’ve read before called The Happiness Equation…i highly recommend it. the subtitle is the actual equation….Want Nothing + Do Anything = Have Everything…. we will discuss this a bit more over this week… but today i wanted to share with you one of the items i pulled from this book. ya see i have met and been around a lot of very successful people in my life and many of them are the definition of societies success, but they are not happy….i’ve been there…and still am at times in my life. the reason for this is that we (at times or often) are seeking happiness from EXTERNAL THINGS WHEN ONLY INTERNAL THINGS WILL BRING US HAPPINESS…sure the money, lifestyle, cars, clothes, shoes lol will bring us some shortchanged tterm gratification but not TRUE DEEP HAPPINESS….ONLY POSITIVE EMOTIONS WILL BRING THIS TO US… as my partner robert stuberg says….WE ARE ALL SEEKING EMOTIONS THAT THE EXTERNAL THINGS BRING US… so the KEY IS TO FIND WAYS TO CREATE THOSE EMOTIONS DAILY…AND WE ALL HAVE THE POWER TO DO THIS SO…BACK TO THE BOOK…SORRY I GET OFF ON TANGENTS SOMETIMES. LOL I’m going to read from page 15 of the book The Happiness Equation…then i’m going to give you 7 ways to be happy RIGHT NOW….so hang with me a little bit longer… READ CHAPTER 4, PAGE 15….. So, now let me give you 7 specific ways (from the book) that you can immediately impact your ATTITUDE NAD CREATE THE EMOTIONAL STATE THAT GENERATES HAPPINESS. some of these you may know but it important that you remember them, practice them and put them into your DAILY ROUTINE….YOUR DAILY RITUALS…. 3 WALKS -the american psychosomatic society published a study showing how Michael baby and a team of doctors found tha t3 30 min brisk walks or jogs even improve recovery from clinical depression…yeah depression… THE 20-MINUTE REPLAY -writing for twenty minutes about a positive experience dramatically improves happiness…why?…because you relive the experience….think about a positive experience…journal about it…relive it and Presto you create the emotions… RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS -carrying out 5 random acts of kindness per week dramatically improves happiness…it takes the focus off of you and places it on others and makes you feel better internally….probably they single most important thing you can do… A COMPLETE UNPLUG -teh only way to “fully engage in the present” is to disconnect from the insanity going on around you… -unplug your phone after dinner or before bed…take time off social media or the internet when you are doing something important… HIT FLOW -flow is the state you are in when you are engaging your Unique ability and challenging yourself. -we’ve all experienced it but you need to align your day so that you can block time for it more often. 2-MINUTE MEDITATIONS -meditation is a state where you can actually require your brain to raise your happiness levels. -so much on this topic another time, but science has PROVEN THE BENEFITS PRE AND POST MEDITATION.. FIVE GRATITUDES -learning to appreciate what you have brings happiness greater than having what you want. -the key is to practice this…train yourself…journal, notepad, mobile app, etc…i use gratitude app… Those are the 7 activities you can do weekly…. I ENCOURAGE YOU…NO I CHALLENGE YOU TO DO THESE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS…. -they will ground you -they will train you to focus on Happiness first -they will bring you positive benefits….without a doubt TRY IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS THATS MY THOUGHT FOR TODAY. I HOEP IT HAS INSPIRED YOU TO DO MORE TO PRIORITIZE THE PRESENT MOMENT AND HAPPINESS IN YORU LIFE…. This week i will continue to bring you thoughts, strategies and tips to help you CHOOSE HAPPINESS IN YOUR LIFE..
Thanks for listening to this special weekend Edition of the Daily Mastermind. Today I want to share with you one of my private group mastermind calls with a super successful Real Estate Investor, Author and Mentor of mine. His name is Aaron Adams and he just recently a book from a major publisher called, Tips, Tricks, Foreclosures and Flips of a Millionaire Real Estate Investor. We dig in deep to what it takes to shift from a 5-6 Figure Mindset to a 7-8-9 Figure Mindset. WE cover many topics but here are just a few:
Happy Valentine's Day..
I have been talking all week about creating an Attitude of Abundance, but many of you (just like I have in the past) are still feeling stuck. Or, maybe you are not seeing all the results you should be seeing based on your efforts.
Well, I want to talk to you today about some conscious and subconscious ways you may be holding yourself back in your life.

This week I'd like to focus your attention on Prosperity Pillar #5 which is...I Create an Attitude of Abundance What is an attitude of abundance? -Ability to Truly believe and have faith that there is enough…that your potential is infinite The challenge is that our Mindset or Blueprints are formed by life Experience which has created Limiting beliefs, so -must change your money blueprint (T Harv Eker) Your ability to change your blueprint will require Faith, Persistence and Dedication So, lets Start by understanding one important things...Abundance is a Choice... -because its based on faith outside yourself, it requires a decision to “choose abundance" -I know sometimes its difficult when faced with challenges... -this just means you must work on it until it is automatic…HABIT Suggestion...Create Daily Rituals that create Abundance -affirmations, service to others, gratitude…more of these in a minute First, lets break down the differences between Abundance and Scarcity mindset…. I believe recognizing and outlining the difference will be important to identifying the best approach
Today is a New Day...I know you’ve heard that before, and I also know many of you are struggling with various things in your life MAYBE YOU FEEL... -anxiety about some upcoming event -maybe your struggling to pay your bills -maybe your dealing with some tough emotional feelings in a relationship or partnership. -maybe you feel trapped in a business or career that you are good at but not satisfied with...you simply want more in your life. -or sometimes things may be going great but you simply just have a really hard day, or week or month for that matter. Haha Well I want you to know that you’re not alone. We all go through seasons and cycles in our lives. And sometimes we simply don’t want it even need to hear that it’s for our good or we will grow through it. Sometimes it’s simple a time we are looking for a little support and inspiration... So let me share some thoughts with you today (at the end of the week) that go along with PP #5-I Focus on Solutions and offer you some encouragement and maybe a little reassurance... A MENTOR OF MINE Robert Stuberg ONCE TOLD ME... -when things are going tough, Don't Forget to believe in yourself -the only thing worse than accepting other people’s limiting beliefs about you is accepting your own.. -or allowing the difficult moments to keep you down. -he would go on to say “you can do anything if you simply remind yourself that you are unique and have unique talents the world will benefit from”...you are enough... *now these words were always comforting to me and I want to extend the same words to you... ”you can do anything if you simply remind yourself that you ARE unique and do have value”...and more importantly...whatever you are going through will PASS. I can hear Les Brown right now...You’re troubles are not here to stay they have come to pass... You can handle whatever you are going through. You can start to create the life you want to live starting today... ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS Continue to REMIND YOURSELF OF YOUR GREATNESS... I HAVE A SMALL PEN HOLDER ON MY DESK -it holds pens and pencils and things I might need. -it is a gift I received when I got my degree. -one day I was speaking with Robert and he reminded me of 5 Key Emotions that would guide me through difficult times. -I wrote these 5 words on the back of a business card and taped them to that pen holder. They have been with me ever since. Whenever I struggle (as we all do) I look at those cards and they remind me first, of the important of stying grounded and second, of the key emotions I must turn to when I need a boost or a little inspiration... Here they are: 1-Faith Have faith that you can handle anything Have faith that there is a reason or a lesson to be learned and that tomorrow will bring a new day... 2-Courage Have courage to face your challenges head on and to have the courage to find solutions and not dwell in the problems 3-Resolve Be resolved to finish what you start Be not just committed but resolved to become the best version of yourself and inspire those around you to become better 4-Compassion Don’t forget to have love and empathy for others. Show compassion because you never know the silent struggles people are going through. The private battles. Be kind and be compassionate. When I focus on love and compassion you will attract more of that into your life. Give compassion to receive compassion. 5-and finally...Gratitude This is the best emotion of all. I love gratitude for several reasons. First, having an attitude of gratitude will bring happiness and prosperity into your life. Second, practicing gratitude is the quickest and easiest way to eliminate negativity, depression and anxiety that I have found. Try it... So just a quick review. Faith, courage, resolve, compassion and gratitude...these are the 5 Essential Emotions I have on my desk. We all want a lot of different things in life. But I truly believe that we are really and truly just seeking the emotions that the “things” will bring us. We want emotions and experiences that will bring us joy and happiness. It is my hope that if you will take a moment and think about these key emotions that you too can feel inspired and turn difficult situations or times in your life into moments of strength and growth. That’s my message for today. Have an amazing weekend and I hope to hear from you soon @thedailymastermind. George Wright III
