You Can Succeed with Love

I recently came across an old classic called The Greatest Salesman in the World. It addresses what I strongly believe in: the keys to real joy, successful relationships, and a fulfilling life. It begins with the importance of habits. Good habits are essential to all success. We all have bad habits we've developed, but we can replace them with good habits and change our lives! Following is a short excerpt from Scroll II. If you want the answers to the questions listed, check out the book. It's enjoyable, captivating, and empowering. Krystal

I will greet this day with love in my heart. How will I do this?

Henceforth will I look on all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.

How will I speak?
How will I act?
How will I react to the actions of others?
How will I confront each whom I meet?
How will I love myself?

If I have no other qualities I can succeed with love alone. Without it I will fail though I possess all the knowledge and skills of the world.

I will greet this day with love and I will succeed.

Welcome!

After years of reading and learning as much as I could about depression and other emotional problems, I switched gears and started focusing on a more positive approach to helping people. I found that people want more than symptom relief, validation, comfort, or an understanding of why they are unhappy or not living up to their potential. They want to have real joy, love, and peace in their lives. So I embarked on a new venture. I decided that I would share everything I know and continue to learn about true happiness.

Why would I do this? For one, it is important to me. I know what it is like to live below my potential and to be unhappy. I also know what it is like to live with true joy, love, peace, and purpose. And that is where I am today. I can say I am truly happy. But it didn’t just happen suddenly. I had to change some things in my life. Actually, quite a few things had to change like my attitude, thinking, and behavior. I had to take responsibility for my own life choices and happiness. I had to make an effort and practice what I know is right and good for me. And I believe that anyone else can do the same thing and be happy for life.

One of the greatest truths I have learned is that happiness is a lifestyle. Regardless of our genetic makeup or circumstances, we can be happy. We can enjoy life. We can have an abiding peace that can not be shaken. We can walk in love that connects us and draws us closer to others than ever before, a love that sets us free, and satisfies our deepest longings.

My sister and I have co-founded http://behappy4life.com/ and http://newdaycounseling.org . Many of the things I have learned over the years about living life to the fullest can be found there. I hope you enjoy it and come back often as I will continue to share my thoughts about happiness, love, and peace. And my greatest hope is that you would be inspired to enjoy life more and love more than you ever have before!

With much joy and love,

Krystal
