			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I want to let you in on the little secret that will make an enormous difference to the amount of success and happiness you have in your life.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s very likely that you already know this secret (or that you&#8217;ve at least heard of how powerful it can be) but it&#8217;s also likely that even though you know of this secret, you&#8217;re not applying it. No matter what you believe, success and happiness are well within your reach. Hopefully through this article I can inspire you to unlock your hidden potential so you can obtain that happiness and success you&#8217;d love to have.</p>
<p><img title="Little Secret to Happiness" src="http://www.upgradereality.com/images/little-secret-to-happiness.jpg" alt="Little Secret to Happiness" /><br />
<span id="more-10241"></span><br />
There are many things about life that we don&#8217;t understand or that we&#8217;re not even capable of understanding, yet we&#8217;re so quick and eager to make definitive facts about the things we don&#8217;t understand. We have such limited knowledge of our universe, of our planet, and even of our own bodies and minds but we&#8217;re so quick to accept &#8220;scientific&#8221; facts and statements about these things as the truth.</p>
<p>These &#8220;facts&#8221; that we&#8217;re so eager to accept as being the truth constantly change. It&#8217;s become the norm that new scientific studies or discoveries disprove old facts (sometimes to the point where decades of belief in a certain fact or system are put to shame).</p>
<p>A few examples from <a href="http://www.zimbio.com/A+NEW+FIT+AND+HEALTY+YOU/articles/18/MEDICAL+FACTS+PROVEN+WRONG">this</a> source:</p>
<ul>
<li> Blood-letting was once proven to be a cure for most illnesses. Now a days blood-letting is considered totally ineffective.</li>
<li>Margarine was considered much healthier than butter. Research now suggests that the butter is much healthier than margarine.</li>
<li>Eggs were considered bad to due to high cholesterol. Now it is say that eggs aren&#8217;t bad at all, and that they are actually healthy for the body.</li>
<li>Alcohol in all forms has been said to be 100% unhealthy and it shouldn&#8217;t be consumed. Than a couple of years ago researcher said that red wine was actually healthy for the heart but not other forms of alcohol. They had also added that all alcohol in moderation has healthy benefits to them.</li>
<li>Chocolate and oily foods was said to be one reason for acne. Now researchers say that they don&#8217;t contribute to acne in any way.</li>
<li>Homosexuality was once classified as a disease.</li>
<li>Medical doctors thought that baby formula was much better than breast milk for children. Now doctors say the exact opposite is said to be true.</li>
<li>Milk was once recommended for coating the stomach and it would help alleviate stomach ulcers. Now the thought of milk is discouraged and has been found to actually aggravate ulcers.</li>
<li>Diet had absolutely no effect on diseases or illnesses. Now people are being told that diets have a huge effect on the prevention and causes of diseases and illnesses.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Little Secret: Part 1</h2>
<p>The Little Secret that will make a big difference to the amount of success and happiness in your life consists of two parts. As you may already be able to guess, the above paragraphs relate to the first part of the little secret which is:<br />
<strong> Don&#8217;t accept anyone&#8217;s definition of a fact as the truth</strong>.</p>
<p>Buddha has a relevant quote that applies here:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”</em><br />
-Buddha</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s very difficult to be happy or successful when you place limits on your abilities and potential. Limiting beliefs are ideas or beliefs that you&#8217;ve come to accept as being the truth that hold you back from achieving your full potential. I&#8217;m not going to go in depth about limiting beliefs in this article but if you want to read more about them you can do so <a href="http://www.upgradereality.com/kill-your-limiting-beliefs">here</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn&#8217;t have it in the beginning.” </em><br />
- Mahatma Gandhi</p></blockquote>
<p>What I&#8217;d like you to take away from part 1 of the Little Secret is that you should never blindly accept anyone&#8217;s facts, statements or advice as being the truth, whether that advice be from your parents, your boss, your doctor or even from the President himself (unless it&#8217;s an emergency situation). Do your own research and homework before accepting something as being the truth.</p>
<h2>The Little Secret: Part 2</h2>
<p>The second part of the Little Secret relates to the way in which you think and the attitude you have towards life.</p>
<p>You have the freedom to see life in any way that you choose. The world can be a place of abundance or scarcity, of opportunity or misfortune. The journey of life can be seen as one of adventure, wonder and excitement or it can be seen as a painful, torturous journey full of obstacles and failures.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.”</em><br />
- Buddha</p></blockquote>
<p>As Buddha wisely said, &#8220;as you think, you shall become&#8221;. The thoughts that you focus your energy on is what you&#8217;ll subconsciously work towards obtaining in your life. If you choose to focus your thoughts on negative things or on limiting beliefs then that&#8217;s exactly what you&#8217;ll keep finding in your life.</p>
<p><strong>The second part of the Little Secret is to think positively and to always see the good in things</strong>. In order to attract happiness and success you need to figure out what you want from life (i.e. your main goals) and you need to focus your thoughts on those goals. Focus on what you want and what you enjoy doing, not on what you don&#8217;t want or what you can&#8217;t do.</p>
<p><strong>Hint:</strong> You can do a lot more than you think you&#8217;re capable of. Don&#8217;t settle for something that&#8217;s below your own standards. Here&#8217;s a beautiful quote to remind you of that:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I bargained with Life for a penny, and Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening when I counted my scanty store.<br />
For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task.<br />
I worked for a menial&#8217;s hire, Only to learn, dismayed, That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid.&#8221;<br />
- Source: Napoleon Hill&#8217;s Think and Grow Rich</em></p></blockquote>
<h2>To Sum Up: The Little Secret To Happiness and Success</h2>
<ul>
<li>Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense. Don&#8217;t let anyone tell you what is possible and what is not possible.</li>
<li>All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become. This is why it is essential to focus your thoughts on the positive side of life, to see the good in things and to focus on what you want to have in your life.</li>
</ul>
<p>Simply applying this little secret will allow you to attract a lot more happiness and success into your life. This secret will also allow you to become a lot more confident in all areas of your life. Try it out for a month and let us know in the comments if it made a difference to you.</p>
<p>P.s. I highly recommend the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1612930298/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=waytogetgir-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=217145&#038;creative=399373&#038;creativeASIN=1612930298">Think and Grow Rich</a> by Napoleon Hill. It&#8217;s a fantastic guide to teaching you how to attract success, happiness and anything you desire into your life.</p>

I came across the most eye-opening post this morning and I thought I&#8217;d share it with you:</p>
<p align=center><img src="http://upgradereality.com/images/buddahs-wisdom.jpg"></p>
<p><span id="more-414"></span></p>
<p>Buddha was well known for his ability to respond to evil with good.<br />
And there was a man that knew about this reputation and he traveled miles and miles to test Buddha.</p>
<p>When he got in Buddha&#8217;s presence he verbally abused him, he insulted and offended him.<br />
Buddha was unmoved.</p>
<p>He simply turned to the man and said: &#8216; May I ask you a question?&#8217;<br />
The man agreed and said: &#8216; Well what?&#8217;</p>
<p>Buddha: &#8216; When someone offers you a gift and you decline to accept it, to whom then does it belong?&#8217;<br />
Man: &#8216; Well then it belongs to the person who offered it.&#8217;<br />
Buddha smiled: &#8216;That is correct.&#8217;</p>
<p>Buddha: So if I decline to accept your abuse, does it not then still belong to you?<br />
The man was speechless and left.<br />
</br><br />
