The Little Secret That Makes A Big Difference

Diggy - Upgrade Reality — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 11:35:58 +0000

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.

It’s very likely that you already know this secret (or that you’ve at least heard of how powerful it can be) but it’s also likely that even though you know of this secret, you’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’d love to have.

There are many things about life that we don’t understand or that we’re not even capable of understanding, yet we’re so quick and eager to make definitive facts about the things we don’t understand. We have such limited knowledge of our universe, of our planet, and even of our own bodies and minds but we’re so quick to accept “scientific” facts and statements about these things as the truth.

These “facts” that we’re so eager to accept as being the truth constantly change. It’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).

A few examples from this source:

Blood-letting was once proven to be a cure for most illnesses. Now a days blood-letting is considered totally ineffective.
Margarine was considered much healthier than butter. Research now suggests that the butter is much healthier than margarine.
Eggs were considered bad to due to high cholesterol. Now it is say that eggs aren’t bad at all, and that they are actually healthy for the body.
Alcohol in all forms has been said to be 100% unhealthy and it shouldn’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.
Chocolate and oily foods was said to be one reason for acne. Now researchers say that they don’t contribute to acne in any way.
Homosexuality was once classified as a disease.
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.
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.
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.

The Little Secret: Part 1

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:
Don’t accept anyone’s definition of a fact as the truth.

Buddha has a relevant quote that applies here:

“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.”
-Buddha

It’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’ve come to accept as being the truth that hold you back from achieving your full potential. I’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 here.

“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’t have it in the beginning.”
- Mahatma Gandhi

What I’d like you to take away from part 1 of the Little Secret is that you should never blindly accept anyone’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’s an emergency situation). Do your own research and homework before accepting something as being the truth.

The Little Secret: Part 2

The second part of the Little Secret relates to the way in which you think and the attitude you have towards life.

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.

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.”
- Buddha

As Buddha wisely said, “as you think, you shall become”. The thoughts that you focus your energy on is what you’ll subconsciously work towards obtaining in your life. If you choose to focus your thoughts on negative things or on limiting beliefs then that’s exactly what you’ll keep finding in your life.

The second part of the Little Secret is to think positively and to always see the good in things. 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’t want or what you can’t do.

Hint: You can do a lot more than you think you’re capable of. Don’t settle for something that’s below your own standards. Here’s a beautiful quote to remind you of that:

“I bargained with Life for a penny, and Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening when I counted my scanty store.
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.
I worked for a menial’s hire, Only to learn, dismayed, That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid.”
- Source: Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich

To Sum Up: The Little Secret To Happiness and Success

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’t let anyone tell you what is possible and what is not possible.
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.

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.s. I highly recommend the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. It’s a fantastic guide to teaching you how to attract success, happiness and anything you desire into your life.

Create your own Happiness!

Diggy - Upgrade Reality — Thu, 14 May 2009 07:17:16 +0000

Good morning:)

Did you wake up this morning with a smile on your face?
Just because you were truly excited that you are fortunate to experience another day of life?

Most people don’t, and its just another Wednesday, in another week, in another month, where every day is the same. There are so many people in the world who are not happy, who are frowning, or angry or depressed. A smile is contagious, haven’t you ever had a total stranger look at you and smile, and that totally made your day? How much effort did it cost the stranger to smile?

Being happy is so much more fun and actually takes less effort once you get into the habit of it.
Its the being sad, or angry, or depressed on unhappy that takes effort to maintain.

Do you know that happiness is just a state of being?
And did you know that happiness is totally dependent on your thoughts, and on nothing else.

Happiness is not the car you drive, not how much money you have, not how many girls you are dating or the job you have. Happiness is totally independent from all those things.
You can have totally nothing and live off minimum wage and still be incredibly happy.
In his book,’The power of now’, Eckhart Tolle describes how for two years he gave up everything he owned and pretty much lived on a park bench for that time, and he says those two years were the happiest, most troublefree times of his life.

Now I’m not saying you have to live on a park bench to be happy, but what I’m saying is don’t be unhappy due to external events. Once you realise that happiness is dependent on you, and not others, you will see that external things do not have such a hold over you anymore. You will have so much happiness, that you are able to give it to others, and share it with them, and you will notice good things start to happen. People are attracted to other people who are happy and in a good state.

What I mean by external events is placing your happiness outside of yourself.
Meaning you are placing your happiness in the hands of the unknown. Only being happy when you have a girlfriend, or only being happy if you make a lot of money on that day, or if you win the sports game, or if you don’t have a lot of work that day. But then what happens when your girlfriend breaks up with you, and you lose money, and you lose the game, and you have a pile of work. Then you become unhappy and your moods swing dependent on the day and the external events it brings.

A glass is half-empty of half-full, and you can see everything in life that way. There are two sides to everything, and in every good there is bad, and in every bad there is good. Yin and Yang, one cannot be present without the other. It is totally up to you whether you want to see the bad in things, or the good in things.

So instead of waking up tomorow morning and thinking “oh another day, I don’t feel like all the work” or something along those lines, just smile. Be happy. Be aware that your problems probably are minor compared to many people in this world, and be happy that you are breathing and allowed to experience another day in this beautiful world.

I guess acceptance plays a big part in being happy.
As a small fish there is no sense to fight the current and try and swim upstream.So many of us do that, we are unhappy with our situations, and mentally keep wishing things were different, but unless you take action, things will not change (except rare occasions).

“Gives us the serenity to accept what we cannot change, and the courage to change what we cannot accept”

I like this saying a lot, because it gives a sense of peace and purpose to life. Things that you cannot change will be things like your face or skin color, or who your parents are , or even your past. There is no sense in spending energy and effort wishing those things could change, because they will not. Accept it and you can be happy about it. Things we cannot accept but can change are things like your career, your bank balance or lifestyle, the friends that you have and the girls you want to date, the languages you want to speak or the countries we want to see. Are you not satisfied with your results in one of these areas? Then you can start your journey towards the goal you want to achieve. This is taking action so that you do not accept what you are not satisfied with, so that you can get to the point where you reach satisfaction. Notice that I use the word satisfaction instead of happiness, because even though you may not have acieved your goals yet, you can still be happy, and your can be really happy in working towards them, no matter how long that will take or how hard the struggle will be.

Take responsibility of your own happiness.
Don’t place your happiness in the hands of the unknown…YOU and YOU alone are in charge for your happiness, and I promise you, once you realise this, life becomes a lot more pleasant:)

Have a Rockin’ day

Doing things for the right reason

Diggy - Upgrade Reality — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 10:07:31 +0000

So often I see people (myself included) making choices and doing things for the wrong reasons.

When I say the wrong reasons, I mean doing something because you feel obligated to do it and not neccessarily because you want to do it. Whether it is because you feel guilty, or because you feel other people expect it of you, or because it would make you cooler etc.

How many people choose a career or degree or take a job because someone has told them it would be right for them. And then they listen to that person and go down a path where they might only find mild happiness at best because it is not truly what their heart desires, and they are throwing their time away while in reality they are dreaming about what they would really like to be doing.

LIVING LIFE WITH NO REGRETS

That is of course easy to say, but I think it is a good way to live your life.
It means living your life in the present, and taking full responsibility for every action and choice you make even if it is a bad one.

Say you decide to quit your job as accountant to go fully for your dream of becoming an actor.
On the one hand as an accountant you are safe, you are assured a good income and a good lifestyle, but its dull and you feel you are living in the shadows of what you could become. But then you quit to follow your hearts true desire, but it turns out you struggle for 5 years, making way less than you accountants salary.

Now, before you made the choice to quit your job as an accountant, you should know that it could turn out bad, but you are okay with that. If you are not okay with it, you will regret it and become miserable.

Since it is your true desire, and you really believe you will become a great actor and make it big, time and problems will not stand in your way, and you will keep going at it until you succeed.

Of course that is just an example, but the principles apply to all situations.
Say you are out at a party and see a gorgeous girl surrounded by 20 guys all begging for her attention, and you know the second you saw her you wanted her to be yours, you have to go and talk to her. Even if you get laughed at or made fun of or humiliated, even if some guy starts a fight with you.

Whatever it is that you truly want, if you do not go for it you are lying to yourself.

When it comes to buying a car, do you choose the out of your budget sportscar because it will make you look cooler, or do you go for the practical thing and go for an economic car that will get you from a-b?

When it comes to a choice of two girls, one insanely beautiful with the hottest body and prettiest face you have ever seen but the personality of a library book or a girl who is faily attractive but not close to the other one, but you have an amazing connection with her?

I can give more examples like this, and so often we go for the superficial, the thing that society has conditioned us into thinking will be better because it is more beautiful, or more expensive or will make us a better person, and so often after we made that choice, we find out it is not half as good as we thought it would be, and we actually start to wish that we made the other choice.

Have you experienced this?

I have, many times, and I made it a goal to be true to myself, to do what my heart tells me to do and to follow what I really want instead of making choices based upon other peoples expectations or perceptions.

So everytime you have to make a choice and decide on something rather important, ask yourself”

“By doing this, will it make me truly happy? Who am I doing this for, myself or someone else?”

And if you answer honestly, most of the time you will make choices that make you truly happy and let you follow your hearts desires.

The Pursuit of Happiness

Diggy - Upgrade Reality — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 10:49:24 +0000

No this is not about the movie… although it does apply.

Is happiness something that we always chase, sometimes its so far away and totally smuthered by problems and the dark side while other times we get a taste of if ever so briefly?

Sometimes it really seems that way.
From my experience there is always one greater aspect that prevents us from being truly happy for long periods of time.

Yes we attain moments, maybe days or weeks of exceptional happiness where nothing could be better. Those are the most fantastic moments in life, and learn to enjoy and absorb every second of them when you experience it!

A new puppy, a rainbow, making a fortune, landing the job you want, achieving your goal, having found that perfect boy or girl, be on the vacation of your life with your best friends.

But there always seems to be something that puts a damper on the happiness and causes it to fade.

Girl problems, money problems, friendship problems or health problems. Usually the problems come from one or more of these areas.

I’ve been thinking and maybe its due to modern society, maybe even because of our material possesions and needs, because there are others that have more than us and we idolise their life and therefore slave away ours whilst being deeply unhappy.

What if you truly had nothing, if you lived in a house in the mountains, grew your own vegetables and food, and were able to survive, had the girl of your dreams and your best friends all living amongst you…wouldnt that be true permanent happiness?

Why is there this constant need to improve, and move forward, and be better than someone else, why do we want a ferrari, or a mansion, or have 50 million in the bank?
Its the same with cars, why are there new models coming out every year? Why are there new fashions and trends every season?

Sure I can tell you the usual answer, people want to be unique, have something others don’t (again here why do we need to be better than others?), producers need to offer a new look and more features in order for the public to switch from their perfectly fine car to a new one.

Maybe it has something to do with our nature, survival of the fittest, where in a herd it was neccessary to not always follow it, to be faster and stronger than the others because the weak and dumb will die first.

If you do a search in google, it is absolutely shocking how many people are angry, depressed, unhappy and want to kill themselves.
There are entire forums of people, all seperate from each other but writing the exact same thing, how their life has no purpose, how nothing matters, how they wish they would die to relieve them from the monotomy of their simple existances.

The trick is finding your passion, something that you love doing so much that you would pay people to do it, you would do it in your sleep and after you die.

Of course this is easier said than done, even I am not sure of what I really want to do.

I really love writing which is weird because I hate English in school, it lets me feel so great, as I put all my thought on paper, slowly watch it turn into a story.
Of course there are many things I enjoy doing, I love speaking french, I love martial arts, gym and running, this entire site contains all the content I really love doing.

So I don’t have a plan at the moment, Im free and seeing where life takes me.

For me the only thing that is a burden is money, and not even that I want a lot of it. Its kind of weird.
I love life, I love myself, my friends, my family, I love working and being busy..all I really have is a fear of somehow not being able to make enough money to survive.

Wow…pretty interesting, Before I started writing this article I didnt know, know I do.

Its like Brad Pitt says in Fight Club (haha yes I love that movie!) :

“It is only once you lose everything…that you are truly free to do anything”

Maybe happiness is a state of mind, maybe it is purely scientific and has to do with the hormone regulation in your blood.

I havent really had any experience with Buddism, but their definition of suffering is trying to control the uncontrollable.

We have no control over other people, over the weather, over gravity, over time or death.

As soon as we realise that and stop trying to control those things, we can experience a sense of freedom and happiness we do not usually feel.
Do our best up to the limits of the possibilities in our control and for the rest let it be.

Combined with doing what you love…that may just be the secret to permanent true happiness.
