We do what we do for one reason and one reason alone. That one reason can be summed up in one word: Happiness!

Everyone wants to be happy. We are all in pursuit of happiness. But, as it is, that pursuit is causing a lot of people tremendous unhappiness.

The pursuit of Happiness

Recently, I read Beyond Willpower by Alexander Loyd. It was an eye-opening experience. Dr. Loyd contends that we get so bogged down with the how that we forget the why and never receive the end-result. I concur based on personal experience. Maybe you do, too.

He shows why the principles mentioned in self-development books and programs don’t produce the results we seek, and how to go about using them correctly to get the results you want.

In the end, I walked away knowing what I was doing incorrectly, and with two takeaways that have become my Modus operandi.

A shortcut is the longest…
