Personal Growth & Attitude One of the traits of those fortunate few who enjoy more happiness in
life, is that they commit themselves to the continuous process of learning and accepting the
inner truths about themselves. The closed mind and ‘know it all’ attitude has no place in the
search for happiness. It is a form of denial that obstructs the path to inner peace. Some discover
most about themselves through spiritual enlightenment, others simply by digging deep into why
they respond and behave the way they do in certain situations. In the sessions that follow, there
will be plenty of support to help you.
“Your attitude determines your altitude”
Without doubt, attitude is the single most influential factor on the path to true happiness. The
right attitude produces results you never imagined possible, the wrong attitude can produce
nightmare situations. You choose your outcomes with your choice of attitude. You can be the
architect of your own happy destiny or the author of your own misfortune, the choice is up to
you. When things go wrong are you looking for solutions or fretting about the past you can’t
change? So many people waste so much time worrying about the past they can’t change,
and the events of tomorrow that might never materialise, that they miss the opportunity to do
something positive today.
Health Your health is a crucial part of your happiness in life. So many of us take it for granted,
until we collapse with exhaustion, stress or some other preventable condition. Do you take
regular exercise? Are you happy with your general level of fitness? Are you careful about your
diet? Do you take enough rest? You will discover that what follows in the coming sessions will
guide you toward your general well being and happiness will have a positive effect in the area
of your health.
Career It is said that 70% of people in employment would rather be doing something
completely different. Are you passionate about your career choice? Does it light your candle?
Does it excite you? Are you fulfilled? Do you have your career path all mapped out? Does it
inspire your creative juices to flow? We spend more hours working than in any other area so it is
natural that unhappiness, dissatisfaction or demotivation in this area will spill over, souring other
areas of our lives. It is therefore vitally important that your career stimulates you and helps you
to grow.
Finances We are not talking here about how wealthy or poor you are. It’s not about how much
money you have but how you relate to it. Does it cause you so much stress that you worry
yourself sick or are you at ease with the flow of money. Money or rather the lack of it, is a major
cause of disharmony in relationships and again, can severely impede your path to true
happiness in all the other areas of your life.
Spiritual Spirituality exists for most people to some degree in their lives, either in faith in an
organised religion, or in their own perception and belief in a creator. There are those that have
absolutely no religious or spiritual beliefs at all, if this is true of you, you can replace this section
with something else and indeed further sections that come to mind for you.
