Summary

Let’s be real for a moment . . . We all sometimes wish we could be happier.

We blame all sorts of variables for holding us back from achieving this.

We tell ourselves that once we finally find a partner, secure a better job, or lose weight, life will be good and we will finally be happy.

But even when we achieve some of those goals, the “happiness goalposts” appear to move a little further down the field.

We can even forget that we have certain things in our lives now that 10 years ago we would’ve said were THE things that needed to happen in order for us to be happy.

In this brand-new episode taken from last week’s Virtual Retreat, I share two words that changed my outlook on this completely.

They become my compass whenever life throws something difficult my way.

With this simple shift, you can give yourself permission to start your life from where you are right now . . .

0:00.0	Hey guys, so I just got done doing the most meaningful thing that I get to do.
0:29.9	On any given year, my retreat program, it was three days. I am a little unshaven
0:38.7	right now. I just realised, Jameson, but in the moment you're about to see a fresh
0:43.6	amy, a me three days younger from the beginning of the virtual retreat. You may not
0:52.2	have been there for those three days, but I wanted to give you something of value
0:56.5	from that program. There was a moment near the beginning of the program where I talked
1:02.1	about the position you might be in right now in your life where your struggling was some
1:08.7	things and that's affecting you and your day-to-day happiness. Well, this clip is all about
1:15.4	that and I think you'll love it and it's brand new, never been seen before outside of
1:20.3	the retreat program from three days ago. Check it out and stay till the end because I have
1:26.0	a very, very big announcement waiting for you. You're all struggling with something. There's
1:34.3	pain, there's hardship in your life right now. Everyone is struggling with something. But
1:43.0	what unites us is all of us. All of us, we just want to be happier. We just want to
1:52.7	be happier. We just want to be more at peace. And a lot of us have convinced ourselves that
1:58.5	we can't be happy where we are the way things are going. And sometimes it really does feel
2:06.5	impossible to feel at peace or to feel happy with what's going on in our lives right now.
2:13.6	So we'll do anything to get out of the situation we're in right now, whether it's a job we
2:18.0	create, whether it's the grief of someone we just lost, maybe a family member we're
2:23.2	grieving, maybe a relationship we're grieving, maybe a health issue that we're coming to
2:29.8	terms with, maybe a financial loss that we're reconciling in our minds. We all have a pain
2:42.2	that on some level we're afraid. I can't be happy with this pain and I'm not going to
2:47.8	be happy until I can get rid of it. But when I think about the big theme of this retreat,
