Road to Happiness

Bing Crosby and Bob Hope starred a string of movies known as the "Road Pictures" or the "Road Series."  There were seven in all.  Most were made before I was born but I did see many of them as a kid on TV.  The movies contained minimal plots, were filled with slap stick antics and blended adventure, romance,comedy and music. People loved them and many still do. 

The reoccurring motivation in each of these seven road movies was two men going off to find something.  The belief was that when they arrived in Singapore, Zanzibar, Morocco, Utopia, Rio, Bali and Hong Kong, their lives would become better.  The characters believed that they would find the success (loosely defined) they were looking for and then be happy.  Well, it is obvious that their arrival at each destination failed to produce that--there were seven movies after all!  This should tell us something.

Millions of people are creating their own series of Road Adventures.  They believe that when they get that degree, marry that person, get that promotion, land that job, or earn that first million they will be happy.  They believe they are on the Road to Happiness!  Yet, when achieve each goal, they find that the happiness they sought for has alluded them. And, they set off on another adventure only to repeat the process again and again.

The truth be told; there is no road to happiness.  The reason being is that happiness is not a destination.  Happiness is not a place to go to but rather a place to come from.  Promotion, money, relationships, education do not produce happiness.  Happiness is an inside job.  Happiness does not come through external stimuli but rather is created in the heart and flows from there.  This what the Apostle Paul meant when he stated Philippians 4:10-14

"I've learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances. I'm just as happy with little as with much, with much as with little. I've found the recipe for being happy whether full or hungry, hands full or hands empty. Whatever I have, wherever I am, I can make it through anything in the One who makes me who I am." (Message Bible)

Happiness is something I decide to be. It springs form my decision to not allow externals to influence me.  You see, there will be times when things happen to us that are beyond our control.  They happen to everyone. This is what we refer to as "LIFE." You cannot change the circumstances.  But what you can change is how the circumstances affect you.  And, if you fail to learn the lesson each situation of life brings you, you will repeat them over and over again. 

Happiness is a choice not a destination.  There is no road that leads there. Happiness flows from the inside out, not the outside in. All the happiness you are looking for is already inside of you.  Let it out!

Why You Should Start A Home Business Reason #31

Reason 31: A home business can keep your hopes alive

Have you ever wondered why some people are able to endure extreme hardship and adversity without going insane and without losing their grip on life? In every case, the one thing that kept them going was hope. Those who don't survive are usually those who have given up hope because they can't see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Millions of job-dependent people are right now sinking into the abyss of despair because of the instability and collapse of many industries. They have given up hoping and dreaming because they cannot imagine life without a job and they think that unemployment is the only alternative to employment. The truth is that there is another alternative. If you lose your job or your industry sector becomes unstable, you can always begin working for yourself.

Self-employment is the alter native to employment. Unemployment is not an option for smart people. In fact working for yourself is easier today than it has ever been since the industrial revolution. So don't lose hope when you can become a home-based entrepreneur and work for yourself!  That's why a home-run business could be your fast track to freedom.

Why You Should Start A Home Business Reason #30

Reason 30: A home business amplifies your inner voice!


Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are basic and fundamental human rights. But many people have surrendered their rights to external forces that are acting in their own interests and not in yours. Only when your life's direction is guided by the inner forces of aspiration, conviction and determination are you truly in control. When you surrender your dreams to the self-interests of an employer, a bank or the government, you are basically trusting them to do what is right for you. The problem is that they never have and they never will put your interests above their own.

Your job is simple; it is to listen to the voice of your own aspirations, convictions and desires until it drowns out the voices of a system that is designed to limit you instead of liberating you! The voices of the system scream at you on a daily basis to know your role, accept the limits and work for us. However, the voice of your destiny whispers in a calm but confident tone; there are no limits, nothing is impossible, aim for your aspirations and live your dreams. The courageous people who start out on the entrepreneurial trail are people who are listening more tuned into themselves than they are to the system. That's why a home-run business could be your fast track to freedom.

Why You Should Start A Home Business Reason #29

Reason 29: A home business is the only way to move the zero's


Moving the zeros is an amazing concept in business. It works like this: if you sell 5000 items at £200.00 per item, you will gross £1 million. Likewise if you sold 200 items at £5000.00 a piece you would still gross a million. If you move the zeros again to sell 50,000 items at £20.00 or 20 items at £50,000, you would again gross a million. The truth is that you should do all of the above to improve your chances of grossing a million. Here's what's even more amazing; this conversation is only ever had by entrepreneurs! The language only makes sense to people who own a business. Those who have limited their financial options by refusing to equip themselves with business knowledge and skills, can't even begin to dream about grossing a million. It is simply not possible until you cross over to the other side.

Once you make the psychological transition from thinking like a job-dependent employee to thinking like a smart business owner, a whole new world of possibilities and opportunities becomes available to you. That's why a home-run business could be your fast track to freedom.

Why You Should Start A Home business Reason #28

Reason 28: Your aspirations are currently being lived out by self-employed people


Take a close look at the people who are currently living out your financial dreams. What do you notice? Here's a clue - who do they work for; someone else or themselves? In 9 out of 10 cases, you'll notice that they are working for themselves. That's a big clue for you. If 9 out of 10 people achieve financial independence by working for themselves, then you've got to get started on your own business.

In the past, owning a business was the privilege of the few who could afford it. The few who were able to convince a bank to finance their ideas. However today anyone can start a business without huge start-up costs, huge overheads or a three-year break-even plan. You can literally start a business from home with nothing more than a computer and a telephone.

Thanks to the Internet, you can begin marketing products and services to a global market provided that you have the knowledge, the skills and the tools to make it happen. Thankfully the knowledge is available and the skills can be learned. So why wait for your retirement plan to fail when you can get started on a home business venture today. That's why a home-run business could be your fast track to freedom.

Why You Should Start A Home Business Reason #27

Reason 27: Your future dreams demand a home business

Do you have a dream for your life? If so, then there is only one issue to resolve i.e. How? How are you going to get from where you are to where you want to be. How are you going to achieve the financial, time and energy freedom necessary to live out that dream? If your current job or career has the real possibility of delivering your dream, then my advice is to keep on keeping on. However, if your job could never deliver your dreams then I advise you to start working on something that can! Typically this means starting a business that has the potential to double, triple or quadruple your income while you enjoy your life. Passive income is usually only available to business owners. So if you want a passive income, you need to become a business owner. That's why a home-run business could be your fast track to freedom.

Why You Should Start A Home Business Reason #26

Reason 26: Your options are limited without one!


Freedom is the power to choose. This means that without choices we are not free. However the fact is that without options we cannot choose. Psychologists agree that our sense of control is a direct reflection of the number of options that we think are available to us at any given time. So how is your sense of control? ~Nothing threatens your sense of control like financial worries and hardship. At those times we feel helpless and vulnerable. However if you had options and alternatives, this would boost your sense of control by taking the power out of the hands of others (employers, governments, banks) and putting it right back into your own hands. That's what business skills can do for you. They can give you options and alternatives and subsequently a new sense of power and control.

Smart home business owners have options when employers, banks and governments say no! They can go to marketing prodcuts and services to niche markets who never stop spending. That's why a home-run business could be your fast track to freedom.
