Want Happiness? Get off Your A#$!

by Jared Akers

The first major shift in my thinking happened in 1997. The realization that I was responsible for my own failure’s in life. That I wasn’t entitled to anything and that if I want success and happiness, I had to get off my ass and go get it!

Although I would reach another bottom in 2006, I realized that I hadn’t put in the necessary work to obtain sustained happiness. Previously all I had done was change some things on the surface and neglected to really dig deep and work on myself. This time, I was desperate enough to really dig deep and work hard on myself.

That’s when the real change and path towards sustained happiness and inner-peace happened.

It’s natural human tendency to want the greatest reward for the least amount of work.

Are you willing to put in the work?
