About this ebook
You will always hear people giving excuses saying that they were not born with the talent necessary to succeed. It is true there are naturally advantaged people in some ways. However, attaining success at something boils down to committing yourself and taking the time to acquire and master skills. In fact, talent is nothing more than a starting point. Nobody is denying that natural talent exists. There are genetically advantaged, especially where physical ability is concerned. Nonetheless, success is not always a physical venture for most people. They just want to do something and be good at it. They desire to earn a decent salary while doing something fulfilling—all for a comfortable life. Every successful person you see had to work hard to get there; from the Olympic sprinter to the world-renowned musician. Do you desire to be successful? Well, stop limiting yourself.
"To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest."
-Napoleon Hill

Chapter 1
The Way of Happiness
There are key happiness tactics and strategies that have shown to increase happiness. To be happy requires skills.
Happiness Is Not Supposed to Be Elusive
Happiness is not supposed to be an abstract ideal. Instead, it should be readily available wherever you go.
7 Principles of Happiness
● Focus on fulfillment
● Dedicate more time to your values
● Set a personal happiness level
● Drive from happiness
● Avoid the if-then
trap
● Increase frustration tolerance
● Concentrate on purpose
Core Concepts
There are three primary concepts that are important in your happiness journey:
● Happiness is personal.
● Happiness is not static; it is a verb.
● There are two happiness questions: How happy are you with your life?
and how happy are you?
Bonus Tactics
Strategies are effective but you need practical tactics for things to work out:
● Keep your eyes on the greater good.
● Act as if
.
● Cultivate happiness under you.
● Find your best happiness quotes.
● Look for a better metaphor (e.g. life is a dance).
● Adjust your questions for different results.
● Adjust your thoughts.
Take a closer look at the principles.
Focus on Fulfillment
When you focus on living life meaningfully, you will be more careful while making choices and creating moments. To do this, you must decide who you want to be and the kind of experiences you would like to create. If you want to focus on fulfilment, set your eyes on the greater good.
Dedicate More Time to Your Values
Living out your values helps you add happiness into your daily life. For people that spend the better part of their day working, try linking your job to your values. If excellence is important to you, make the work all about excellence. When more time is dedicated to your values, the journey becomes more enjoyable.
Set a Personal Happiness Level
Everyone has a personal happiness level. Embrace your level and begin from there. Look for simple ways through which you can improve your happiness level gradually. Avoid comparing your happiness levels to that of others.
Drive from Happiness
Happiness must be a decision.
Here, you must look deep within you and answer some very tough questions. What would you like to make more time for? What is it that makes you happy? What do you want to do? Instead of doing what everyone else expects of you, look for what makes you happy.
Avoid the If-Then
Trap
Your happiness should not depend on an event that you expect to happen in the future, such as a relationship, job, etc. have your happiness right here
rather than out there
. Have fun with the journey. Work with what you have.
Increase Your Frustration Tolerance
A higher frustration tolerance can translate to a higher happiness level. This insight works instantly. You just need to decide not to be frustrated with the little disappointments of life.
Concentrate on Purpose
What you focus on is what you get. Start focusing on better scenes and see what happens. Human beings set goals and do everything within their power to chase after them. They either attain the goals or drop dead. Once one goal has been achieved, they set another one and it goes on and on. This is how people are wired. America is in a time of abundance—much more like never in human history. Basic needs are generally met for everyone and, therefore, you think the only goals left to set are money goals. You aspire to earn a certain amount of income, build investments, and savings to a certain level and create a passive income stream. You set these goals so you can live the lifestyle of your choice and spend some time with your loved ones. You also want to be financially independent. To put it simply, you are trying to be happy and according to you, more money means happiness. Now, suppose you have all the money you desire in your bank account. You have finally achieved financial independence. You have enough time to spend with the ones you love, and you can go wherever you want—money is unlimited. Will you be happy? Sure, initially. However, once the ecstatic stage of travel, binge purchases and whatever else is over, you will be bored to death. You may find yourself lonely and depressed—something common to many famous and rich people. Why the unhappiness? Everyone wants to succeed,
