Discover The 7 Simple Steps To Being Happier and More Fulfilled In Every Area Of Your Life!

How well you achieve your own happiness is the best measure of how well you are living your life and enjoying your relationships. Follow these steps to be happier and more fulfilled in everything you do:

DETERMINE YOUR OWN INGREDIENTS
Happiness in life is like a smorgasbord. If 100 people went to a smorgasbord and each put food on their plate in the quantity and mix that each felt would be most pleasing to him, every plate would be different. Even a husband and wife would go up to the smorgasbord and come back with plates that looked completely different. Happiness is the same way. Each person requires a particular combination of those ingredients to feel the very best about him or herself.

LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
And your mix is changing continually. If you went to the same smorgasbord every day for a year, you probably would come back with a different plateful of food each time. Each day — sometimes each hour — only you can tell what it takes to make you happy. Therefore, the only way to judge whether a job, a relationship, an investment, or any decision, is right for you is to get in touch with your feelings and listen to your heart.

BE TRUE TO YOURSELF
You’re true to yourself only when you follow your inner light, when you listen to what Ralph Waldo Emerson called the "still, small voice within." You’re being the very best person you can be only when you have the courage and the fortitude to allow your definition of happiness, whatever it may be, to be the guiding light of every part of your life.

YOU DESERVE IT ALL
A very important point on the subject of happiness is whether or not you feel that you "deserve" to be happy. Accept the notion that you deserve all the happiness you can honestly attain through the application of your talents and abilities. The more you like and respect yourself, the more deserving you will feel of the good things in life. And the more deserving you feel, the more likely you will attain and hold on to the happiness you are working toward.

MAKE HAPPINESS YOUR KEY MEASURE
You should make happiness the organizing principle of your life. Compare every possible action and decision you make against your standard of happiness to see whether that action would make you happier or unhappy. Soon, you will discover that almost all of the problems in your life come from choices that you have made or are currently making that do not contribute to your happiness.

PAY THE PRICE
Of course, there are countless times when you will have to do little things that don’t make you happy along the way toward those larger things that make you very happy indeed. We call this paying the price of success in advance. You must pay your dues.

Sometimes these interim steps don’t make you happy directly, but the happiness you achieve from attaining your goal will be so great that it totally overwhelms the temporary inconveniences and dissatisfactions you have to endure in order to get there.

ACTION EXERCISES
Here are three steps you can take immediately to put these ideas into action: First, accept that you deserve all the joy and happiness you can possibly achieve through your own efforts. Second, make your own happiness the chief organizing principle of your life and judge everything against that standard. Third, be willing to work hard and pay the price for the satisfaction and rewards you desire. Always go the extra mile and your success will be assured.

God Bless and make it the Best Week Ever!

Victoria’s Quick Start Energy Program is absolutely phenomenal!

Before I went on Victoria’s Quick Start Energy Program I was a mess. At the time I was teaching my own fitness classes while trying to recover from knee surgery. I was carrying 30 plus extra pounds around as a result of the injury and I was desperate to get it off but it felt like a losing battle. I was constantly having to sit with my legs elevated and I could feel the pounds adding up. I couldn’t even walk fast let alone run. I had to modify many moves for myself so I could still teach class. I had lost my energy and fire I thought teaching was over for me I was so depressed I truly thought I was going to have to hang up my passion for teaching forever but at the same time I couldn’t imagine not teaching.

I get very excited and tearful just thinking about where I am today in comparison from the first day I started the program. I have lost all of the weight and replaced it with a very healthy toned sculpted long and lean body. Victoria is phenomenal with her knowledge and she brought back the fire within me and I’m so happy to say I’m still teaching fitness classes and with so much energy and strength it’s unbelievable!

Victoria’s Quick Start Energy Program is absolutely phenomenal! The results are above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. It has literally changed my life inside and out. My life has forever changed from this program physically, emotionally, and most importantly Spiritually I feel so blessed it has made a profound impact on my life. I am happy. My life is so much richer, balanced, and fulfilling.

"By the way, the way I heard about you was on Life Today last year when you where on there. You where great.. Your advice was from personal experience and also was very balanced in your approach. I was impressed by that because that's what I've always thought. I always thought you should have a lifestyle change not a diet as such... Thank you!
