How Just One Simple Change in Your Thinking can make You 100% Happier and Healthier!

This could be the most important article I’ve ever written…

…here’s why…

I’ve recently discovered the number one reason why most people get anxious, sad, and depressed.

It’s NOT lack of money. And it’s NOT being in a job you hate. It really is, much, much, more simple than that. And when I tell you, you’ll be stunned! Because, it’s such an obvious thing.

And you’ll be pleased to know that you can make yourself HAPPIER—IMMEDIATELY once you have the secret. You’ll instantly feel like a HUGE weight has been lifted from your shoulders. You find you’ll be able to focus on what YOU want. You won’t be re-active to the actions of other people any more.

You’ll be FREE—and in control of your life again.

In fact, I’m 100% sure that if you were to make this quick and easy change today, you’d get rid of 80% of your daily stress.

Just imagine, you’re feeling stressed and anxious. You’re not sure why. Then all of a sudden, you remember the secret. You make one tiny shift in your thinking, and then to your amazement, you relax…you feel at ease…and it seems like you don’t have a care in the world.

The Secret

Okay, I’ll put you out of your misery. ALL UNHAPPINESS IS CAUSED BY COMPARISION.

Before I explain, here’s a question: Are you in the habit of comparing yourself with others? If the answer is yes, then you’re probably making yourself more unhappy than you need to.

So what do I mean by comparison?

Here are a few examples:

“Why does Bill make more money than me? He's in the same business as I am”

Or, “Why is my figure not like Susan’s, I go to the gym just as much as her.” Or “All our friends have BIGGER houses than us— we’ve got to move.”

I’m sure most of us have had this kind of internal dialogue going on inside our heads at some time or another. But, when it becomes a habit, that’s when anxiety and unhappiness creeps in.

The curse of comparison

So now you know what I believe to be the no.1 reason we make ourselves anxious and miserable. Of course, I didn’t invent this idea, much has been written over the centuries about this subject. It’s just that now more than ever before, people tend to make themselves miserable with this negative way of thinking.

So, next time you catch yourself comparing yourself to others, just STOP, BACK UP, and remind yourself that it’s not about what others have got, it’s about what you have, and what you want to achieve in life. It doesn’t matter what everyone else has or what everyone does, it’s about YOU and your life.

Try it. You’ll be much happier. You’ll have less stress. And you’ll live a longer and healthier life too.

Until next time!

Marcus.
