Below are the most popular and impactful highlights and quotes from Happy Sexy Millionaire: Unexpected Truths about Fulfillment, Love, and Success:
Maybe you’ve always been happy, but the world, social media and external comparisons have convinced you that you can’t possibly be.
Time is both free and priceless. The person you are now is a consequence of how you used your time in the past. The person you’ll become in the future is a consequence of how you use your time in the present. Spend your time wisely, gamble it intrinsically and save it diligently.
They trap you in the toxic narrative that quitting is a weakness, an easy way out or, worse yet, that quitting is failure. I assure you – quitting is for winners and quitting is a skill.
Some people just can’t seem to deal with any uncertainty in their lives, and time and time again they find themselves imprisoned in situations that kill their happiness, push them towards despair and gradually disintegrate their self-esteem. They don’t realise that in their attempt to avoid uncertainty and the short-term discomfort it might bring, they’re actually inadvertently opting for long-term misery. I believe that the happiness you’ll find across all areas of your life – your work, your relationships and everything in between – will positively correlate to your ability to deal with uncertainty.
if you go through life believing that happiness is somewhere in your future, it always will be – it will never be where you are now.
Fundamentally we’re all the by-product of not what has happened to us, but how we chose to handle it.
If you truly care about being happy in your life and successful in your work, you have little choice. You have to become the author of your own ‘script’, one written by your heart, not one directed by your society.
Be grateful, for gratitude can bring life to life, it can turn a meal to a feast, resentment to love, a grudge to forgiveness, an enemy to a friend, a disease to hope and you to enough.
Live in accordance with your outside world and you’ll soon find misery. Live in accordance with your inside world and you’ll soon find happiness.
