INTRODUCTION
After many years of mediocrity, we were fortunate enough to have
undertaken a very special mentoring program called
THE TWELVE HABITS
This program changed our views on
Becoming
We have developed a deep passion for this material since our own
mentorship and we have invested many more hours into our own
development through research and practice. We are no longer
victims of circumstance and you need not be either. We are so
excited to take this journey with you.
Here is to #ALIFEWORTHLIVING

yourself to change the course of your future.
Please do that commitment justice and put yourself in the best
position to learn and apply this incredible knowledge in your life.
This means, we expect you to be prepared, watch the webinars,
complete the self development & homework tasks and attend the
group accountability calls.
We also require that you engage with each other inside the facebook
group often and frequently. The support you will receive from your
peers will astound you. The power of this program lies in YOU. The
community.
Enjoy the process of learning as a group and play nice.
Lastly if you want to post anything about what you have learnt
during the program on social media then we encourage you to do so.
But please always pay homage to your mentors by
#ALIFEWORTHLIVING and #PRIMALSYDNEY
We are so proud of you all for seeking us out.
The journey is only just beginning.

PROGRAM OUTLINE
Facebook Group (24/7 support)
Weekly Webinar (Core Topic) - released on Monday
Weekly Accountability Group Call (time to be advised)
Weekly Bonus ‘How To’ Webinar
We are all connected to each other via the closed members only
facebook group. This is how we can reach out to each other, share
our valuable thoughts and learnings and keep each other
accountable.
At the start of each week on Monday, the core webinar will be
released into the facebook group.
You can watch it in your own time, but please note you must have
completed the self development tasks before your accountability
call.
The accountability call will occur towards the back end of the week,
we will pick a time that suits every week.
There will be a hiatus in between, level 1 and level 2. This outcome
has been a realisation of feedback from previous cohorts of A Life
Worth Living. The impact that comes with the internal victory will see
immediate change, although for you to reap the full benefits of this
change we have decided to monitor your progress and invite you to
complete level 2 when we think you are ready. We are doing this
because we believe it will add to the learning experience and enable
you to get the most out of the program.
We really believe in this style of cutting edge online education. It has
worked for us in the past and it will work again

COURSE CONTENT OUTLINE
Level 1 – The Private Victory
The private victory must always proceed the public victory, it is
because of this that we will focus the first 6 weeks of the course on
our own internal worlds. We will learn to master our internal worlds
and turn this mastery into passion for helping other people.
1. Purpose & Intention
If you are unclear about where it is you want to go, then you are
unlikely to get there. Without a clearly defined purpose to guide
you and act as a compass, you will become distracted by all the
noise that life has to offer. You will worry about the trivial and
end up focusing too much time and energy on the 80% of things
that don’t truly matter and not enough time and energy on the
20% of things that do. You will fill your days dealing with the
unimportant and pursuing the dreams of other people, rather
than defining and delivering upon your own.
You need to understand and define your purpose in life, your
worthy ideal. It will then act like a guiding star on the horizon –
forever pursued but never reached, there to guide and inspire
you. You will benefit enormously from the liberating sense of
meaning and passion that follows.
2. Applying the Laws of the Universe
“The greatest discovery of our generation is that a
human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes
of mind”
– William James
An individual with a growth mindset believes nothing is set in
stone. Who we are and where we are in life can always be
changed with dedication and effort. We actually see the world
as we are, not as it is. We have a choice as to how we shape
what we perceive to be reality. We can shape our life, with
Primal Sydney Pty Ltd 7
sorrow or joy, with hate or love, with conflict or peace, with
wealth or poverty.
You will clarify your intention and apply your attention. We can
begin to live in harmony with the laws of the universe.
3. Faith & Behaviours
What you seek from life is already here. It’s right where you are,
just at a different frequency. All you need to do is to connect
with it to bring it into time, into reality and into your life. One of
the great paradoxes of life that very few understand is that we
do not attract what we want – but rather what we are.
Our challenge, therefore, is to become what we want here and
now. This shift, however, for most people is more easily said
than done. As you have probably worked out for yourself
already, life is full of subtleties and there is a fine line that
distinguishes success from failure. Behind your commitment to
achieve Wealth, Health and Happiness must be an invincible and
unwavering FAITH that what you desire is already yours – that it
is “at hand” and you have only to take possession of it.
You have a chance to do something that is surprisingly rare yet
profoundly important if you are to achieve true and everlasting
success. We can align the conscious and unconscious minds,
thereby guaranteeing alignment, and in turn achievement of
what it is you have set out to achieve. You will do this by
emotionalizing your goals and creating positive associations – an
important aspect of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). You
will learn the difference between hoping and knowing and you
will learn to love what you have, not have what you love. This is
where you learn to be happy today whilst still wanting more
tomorrow.
4. Health
Primal Sydney Pty Ltd 8
This area of personal progression for us has seen us develop
systems, that we have used in all other areas of our life to
succeed. If you're interested in being the best version of yourself
you must be concerned with the way you treat your physical
body. This week of content could be a mentoring program in
itself.
When the mind, body and soul are in harmony, happiness is the
natural outcome. Whatever we can imagine, we can manifest as
reality by the proper and balanced use of mind, body and soul.
Once we master this process, there can be no obstacles between
our desire and its fulfillment.
5. Love
Life’s deepest meaning is not found in
accomplishments but in relationships.
– Gary Chapman – The Five Love Languages
It is Love, not money, that makes the world go around. While
money can amplify your happiness, it will not create it; that is
the domain of those invisible things like love – the love we have
for our partner, the love we have for our friends and family, the
love we have for children, the love we have for ourselves and for
others. These five relationships form the central focus of love in
our lives.
6. Action
In order to create yourself, you must take action. You cannot sit
at the bottom of the mountain and think yourself to the top.
Ultimately, you must act.
Life is like riding a bicycle – in order to keep your balance, you
must keep moving. “Whatever you can do, or dream you can –
begin it,” Goethe wrote. “Boldness has genius, power and magic
in it.”
Primal Sydney Pty Ltd 9
Possibly the most important of all the content we present. We
need to take action. We need to try. We need to fail. We must
learn and we must keep moving!
Level 2 - The Public Victory
Once we have become a master of our own internal world we can
turn our attention to the Public Victory. This is where we can have so
much fun, we can choose the vehicle that will help us to move
towards our worthy ideal. We can nurture this vehicle, pivot and
preserve our interests and create products and services worth talking
about!
1. Great Work
Great work involves either working for or creating a star
company. Because you are reading this, you are one of the lucky
ones interested in starting your own star company.
Doing great work is fundamentally completing tasks that we are
proud of and doing work that we love. Once we are able to
complete such tasks, work will no longer feel like work. It will
become a passion.
One can only ever really do great work when we are actually
passionate about the end result or legacy that the daily tasks we
are completing are creating.
Great work is therefore doing things we will be proud to give our
life for.
2. Unique Value Proposition – The Lean Startup
Once we have a clearly defined internal understanding or how
we perceive the world and how that perception reflects upon
others, we are ready to receive and understand our unique value
proposition.
Primal Sydney Pty Ltd 10
Having a better understanding of who we are and being more
comfortable in our own skin allows us to properly express our
true message.
We are all special, once we truly understand how we are special,
we can understand our value. Once we know our own value we
can unleash our true potential and ask the world for financial
compensation for our unique value.
In this topic we also touch on branding. Having a clearly defined
unique value proposition is fundamental in creating a strong
brand, a brand worth talking about.
3. Minimum Viable Product & The Lean Canvas
How can we create products that will enable us to churn through
the feedback loop as quickly as possible? Once we have created
our MVP we can learn to test this product in the market. We can
respond to this test and we can move forwards to produce new
products always in advance of any that have come before.
Having a thorough grasp of online business models, including
ascension and descension models will be crucial for business
planning, growth and success. Once we know where we are
headed with this, the next steps become clearer. In the online
game everything happens for a very precise and calculated
reason.
4. Leverage & Outsourcing Your Life
One of the things that has helped the human race to achieve its
success is our unique ability to create and use tools. By using
tools we can multiply the effect of what we do. If the success of
mankind is as a consequence of using tools, then as individuals
we must embrace this important concept. You should use
leverage to get the most out of yourself. You should leverage
your strengths and abilities to achieve more than you thought
you could.
Primal Sydney Pty Ltd 11
We can apply these principals towards the usage of modern
tools such as Elance a Freelance website to multiply our outputs
whilst minimizing our input.
5. Marketing
You can’t run a business successfully in this era without a
detailed understanding of social media. Our understanding of
social media and our systems for managing it have been one of
the key reasons Primal Sydney has grown at such a rapid rate.
When managed poorly social media can place considerable
stress on a startup. Often becoming overwhelming. Our key is a
detailed understanding of the core messages we convey, and a
consistent message delivery system across multiple platforms.
In this topic we teach the importance of building a loyal tribe
who loves and trusts your vision, it is our duty to sell this tribe
life changing products and offer them experiences worth talking
about.
This is one of the most valuable topics for anyone looking to lead
a successful venture or business in 2015.
6. Financial Freedom
The ability to save and invest is important if we are to achieve
our goals. At a minimum, there is a need to protect our wealth
from the effects of inflation, the need to provide for longer life-
expectancies and the need to cope with the rising cost of living.
Beyond that, we have the ability to leave a legacy for the next
generation or help the current one through our philanthropic
endeavors. There is a lot more that we can do through the
accumulation of wealth than one might initially realize.
Most of us have this belief that it takes money to make money.
It’s therefore often surprising to learn that the vast majority of
the world’s millionaires never received more than a public
school education and never made more than minimum wage.
Primal Sydney Pty Ltd 12
THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS
Over recent times we have also come to understand and appreciate
what the Buddha once referred to as the Four Noble Truths. This is
an ancient and insanely important wisdom that is accessible and
available to all but somehow lies hidden just beyond the reach,
awareness and access of most. It lies there cloaked, as a cloud might
mask the presence of a large mountain or a layer of dirt might cover
the presence of a diamond below. Somehow this wisdom is only
prepared to reveal itself to those that make a commitment to seek
out its presence. Yet when the commitment is forthcoming, it will
yield willingly for all to see.
THE FIRST NOBLE TRUTH
The first Noble Truth reveals that the problems we all suffer and
the challenges we face are both typical and natural because we
are human.
THE SECOND NOBLE TRUTH
The second Noble Truth explains that there are clear reasons or
causes behind these problems, and without intervention they
are unlikely to be resolved, resulting in a life less lived – which is
what the vast majority of the population experiences.
THE THIRD NOBLE TRUTH
The third Noble Truth confirms that there is in fact a complete
cure available.
THE FOURTH NOBLE TRUTH
The fourth Noble Truth, rather mercifully I must say, verifies that
this cure is a repeatable, dependable process that has been
proven to deliver results.
Quite exciting really! No need to travel the world in search of oneself
or the tear-drops of a Tibetan yak! While that might be disappointing
Primal Sydney Pty Ltd 13
news for the more adventurous amongst us, I suspect it is quite
reassuring for the vast majority of the population.
TRUTH 1
We suffer because we are human and we have the wrong
approach to life.
TRUTH 2
We know what causes of this suffering.
TRUTH 3
There is a complete cure available.
TRUTH 4
The cure is a repeatable dependable process.

THE TOP FIVE REGRETS OF THE DYING
When scientists decided to put a man on the moon, they didn’t
think, “Well, what do we need to get from Earth to the Moon?” They
imagined the landing and then worked their way backwards in terms
of the processes and procedures.
In a similar vein, our life is best played backwards. The great gift the
dying leaves us is a reminder of the need to begin with the end in
mind: to imagine that mortal day when our time has come and to be
proud of what has transpired. In this regard, We love the work of
Bronnie Ware.
After too many years of unfulfilling work, Bronnie Ware began
searching for a job with meaning. Despite having no formal
qualifications or experience, she found herself working in palliative
care.
During the time she spent tending to the needs of those who were
dying, Bronnie’s life was transformed. Later, she wrote an Internet
blog post about the most common regrets that the people she had
cared for had expressed to her. The post, also called The Top Five
Regrets of the Dying, gained so much momentum that it was viewed
by more than three million readers worldwide in its first year.
By applying the lessons of those nearing their death to her own life,
she developed an understanding that it is possible for everyone, if
they make conscious choices, to die with peace of mind. In her blog,
and more recently in her book of the same title, The Top 5 Regrets of
the Dying, she explains how we can address these issues positively
now, while we still have the time. Her mission is to leave you feeling
more compassionate and inspired to live the life you are truly here to
live. We strongly encourage you to follow her work at
www.bronnieware.com or to read her book.
What follows is a summary of The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying as
recorded in an interview Bronnie gave The Age newspaper on the 16
July 2012. The wisdom captured here is absolutely timeless – people
have literally died in the process of making it available to us – so we
Primal Sydney Pty Ltd 15
implore you to pause for a moment and take it in. This is as close as
most of us will ever get to hearing the dead speak from the grave. It
is a great honor and privilege to have access to this wisdom while we
still have sufficient time left to do something about it. The following
is in her words.
1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the
life others expected of me.
This was the most common regret of all. When people realize
that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy
to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had
not honored even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing
that it was due to choices they had made or not made.
2. I wish I had not worked so hard.
This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed
their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship.
Women also spoke of this regret. But as most were from an
older generation, many of the female patients had not been
breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending
so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace
with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence
and never became who they were truly capable of becoming.
Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and
resentment they carried as a result.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
Often they would not truly realize the full benefits of old friends
until their dying weeks, and it was not always possible to track
them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives
that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There
were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time
Primal Sydney Pty Ltd 16
and effort that they deserved. All people miss their friends when
they are dying.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.
This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realize until the
end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old
patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity
overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives.
Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their
selves, that they were content, when deep within, they longed
to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again.
Primal Sydney Pty Ltd 17
DO SOMETHING THAT MATTERS
We can all do something that matters. Who wants to settle for less
when the world has made it so easy for you to be remarkable? Who
wants to simply get by and accept the status quo? Why do we try so
hard to fit in when we were born to stand out?
For many this is a terrifying thought. We fear our greatness more
than we fear our ordinariness. It is so easy to dismiss ourselves as
somewhat irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, yet nothing
could be further from the truth. We have the ability to make a
difference.
In that context we are particularly fond of the following story. It’s
called The Story of the Starfish
The Story of the Starfish
Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the
ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach
before he began his work. One day, as he was walking along the
shore, he looked down the beach and he saw a human figure moving
like a dancer. He smiled to himself to think of someone dancing to
the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he drew closer,
he saw that it was a young woman, and the young woman wasn’t
dancing, but instead she was reaching down to the shore, picking up
something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
As he drew closer, he called out, “Good morning! What are you
doing?”
The young woman paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish
into the ocean.”
“I guess I should have asked, ‘Why are you throwing starfish into the
ocean?’”
“The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in
they’ll die.”
“But, young lady, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of
beach, and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a
difference!”
Primal Sydney Pty Ltd 18
The young woman listened politely. Then she bent down, picked up
another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves.
“I made a difference to that one!”
We think this story offers us a timely reminder that we don’t need to
change the whole world in order to make a difference or make our
life meaningful. It is enough to make a significant difference to a
small handful of people; to have a positive impact on one or two
lives. Even if you only impact one life in a positive manner, you will
have done something that mattered.
We also love the following passage from Chaim Potok’s book The
Chosen. Upon reading this novel, this particular passage has stuck in
my mind ever since as an example of just how important we really
are.
“Human beings do not live forever, Reuven. We live less than the
time it takes to blink an eye, if we measure our lives against eternity.
So it may be asked what value is there to a human life. There is so
much pain in the world. What does it mean to have to suffer so much
if our lives are nothing more than the blink of an eye?
“I learned a long time ago, Reuven, that a blink of an eye in itself is
nothing. But the eye that blinks, that is something. A span of life is
nothing. But the man who lives that span, he is something. He can fill
that tiny span with meaning, so its quality is immeasurable though its
quantity may be insignificant. Do you understand what I am saying?
A man must fill his life with meaning, meaning is not automatically
given to life.
These are wonderful sentiments to keep in mind. The blink of an eye
in itself is nothing; but the eye that blinks, that is something.
Although the quantity of your life may be insignificant, its quality can
be immeasurable.
Success does not come easily in any aspect of life… in business, in
sport or even in relationships. The secret behind the achievements of
every successful person lies in the fact that somebody has coached
her or taught her the skills needed for success. Few people will
naturally achieve real and lasting success. Even those who are
Primal Sydney Pty Ltd 19
destined to challenge the status quo need to know what it is they are
overthrowing.
These skills are not taught in schools or universities and are rarely
taught at home. When parents attempt to teach their children the
skills for success, the children will typically resist. They have already
formed habits of convenience like those of their friends, peers,
teachers and practically everybody else with whom they associate.
Knowing the rules gives you an enormous advantage. It is no
harder to live a remarkable life than it is to live an ordinary
life.
It is no harder to live a remarkable life full of health, wealth and
happiness than it is to live an ordinary life marked by quiet
desperation and unrealized dreams.
Interestingly, it’s rarely the demands of the task that make mastery
difficult for us to achieve; rather, it’s the fact that society leads us
astray. The path to success is always there waiting for us – all we
need to do is learn, practice and apply.
Successful people develop the habit of doing things that failures do
not like to do. Not because they enjoy doing these things initially, but
because they realize that by doing the things they don’t like to do,
they can accomplish the things they want to accomplish.
Successful people are influenced by the desire for a pleasing result.
Failures, on the other hand, are influenced by the desire for pleasing
methods and are therefore inclined to be satisfied with whatever
results can be obtained by doing the things they like to do.
In time even the most complex and initially less pleasing of tasks
soon become second nature. All complexities, even the most
intricate of tasks, can, over time, be relegated to simple processes
that require little thought.
Through practice and application, good habits will become second
nature. Once they are second nature, you will apply them
instinctively without thought. Once you apply them instinctively
Primal Sydney Pty Ltd 20
without thought, you will give birth to a dependable, repeatable
process that works every time, without fail, like driving your car.
Failure will be impossible and success guaranteed.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act
but a habit. Successful and happy people have good habits that are
life-enhancing. Unsuccessful, unhappy people have habits that hurt
them and hold them back.
Once formed, a habit does not go away. It can only be replaced by a
newer, better habit. We form our habits, and then our habits form
us. While for the first 30 days you may need to exert tremendous
discipline to develop new habits of thought and behavior, once you
have them firmly locked in, they enable you to accomplish vastly
more, with less effort, than ever before.
Good habits are hard to develop but easy to live with; bad habits are
easy to develop but hard to live with. The habits you have and the
habits that have you will determine almost everything you achieve or
fail to achieve. Your job is to form good habits and make them your
masters. Simultaneously, you must work diligently to eliminate your
bad habits and free yourself from their negative consequences. Once
they have become habits, you do them habitually, as easily as you
would a bad habit. That is the exciting part. There is a short period of
struggle and after that it comes naturally.
In applying this knowledge, all things can be progressively mastered
in a sustainable manner with limited ongoing effort. In learning this,
you have learned about the process of transformation, self-
transformation. You have learned how to start with something
difficult and make it both easy and enjoyable through instruction and
practice. If you can learn to walk or drive a car, you can learn to do
almost anything. You can learn to excel at your work, improve your
relationships, achieve perfect health and be rich.
Most people discover through trial and error. By the time they see
the wood for the trees, it’s a little too late. Others fall back upon a
rule-book that is supposed to apply everyone and cover all
contingencies. The Bible is one such book, but many others exist. In
Primal Sydney Pty Ltd 21
the end, however, no one has ever had a remarkable life by following
a recipe. Between having no rules and imposing rigid ones, there is a
need for what we call “dynamic guidelines”. These dynamic
guidelines impose the least restraint on Free Will but guide us to
lasting and meaningful success.
Primal Sydney Pty Ltd 22
THE COMMON DENOMINATOR OF SUCCESS
What you are about to discover is that there is in fact a common
denominator for success. Although I’m sure it’s been discovered and
rediscovered many times throughout history and been brought to
our attention by numerous individuals over the ages, We particularly
like the way it was articulated by Albert Gray in his 1940 speech
titled “The Common Denominator of Success”.
Albert Gray devoted a large part of his life to discovering the secret
to success. Like most of us, he had been brought up to believe that
the secret to success lay in hard work. However, his own experiences
in life had exposed him to numerous individuals who worked hard
yet failed to achieve success and numerous individuals who achieved
success yet failed to work hard. He became convinced that hard work
was not the real secret. So he set out on a voyage of discovery, which
carried him through biographies, autobiographies and all sorts of
dissertations on success and the lives of successful men and women.
Finally he found what he was looking for – a common denominator
of success, so big, so powerful and so vitally important to your future
and mine, yet so simple that everyone can understand it. Gray
described it as follows:
the secret of success of every man who has ever been
successful –lies in the fact that he formed the habit of doing
thingsthat failures don’t like to do.
– Albert Gray
It’s as true as it sounds and just as simple as it seems, argues Gray,
and he’s right. Whether you like it or not, it explains why some
people with every apparent qualification for success fail, and why
others achieve extraordinary success despite their many obvious
handicaps.
What Gray discovered was that the difference between the Rich and
the Poor, the successful and the miserable, the happy and the sad,
was that those that achieved success were prepared to do the things
that failures do not like to do. He discovered that in order to be
Primal Sydney Pty Ltd 23
successful there are certain things that we must do. He discovered
that successful people had developed the habit of doing things that
failures didn’t like to do. Not because they enjoyed doing these
things – they didn’t – but because their disliking was subordinated by
their strength of purpose. Explained another way, they realized that
by doing the things they don’t like to do, they could accomplish the
things they wanted to accomplish. You see, successful men and
women are influenced by the desire for a pleasing result. Failures, on
the other hand, are influenced by the desire for pleasing methods
and are therefore inclined to be satisfied with whatever results can
be obtained by doing the things they like to do.
Successful men and women are influenced by the desire for
a pleasing result. Failures, on the other hand, are influenced
by the desire for pleasing methods and are therefore
inclined to be satisfied with whatever results can be
obtained by doing the things they like to do.
We mentioned this earlier in the context of the Four Noble Truths.
Noble Truth number One, as you may recall, clarified that as humans
our natural state is one of suffering. We find this to be one of the
cruelest realities of life – that our natural desires are unlikely to
deliver success. The fact that we humans are not naturally designed
for success is why the vast majority of the population is not
successful.
What we now know is that every single qualification for success is
acquired through habit. If you don’t deliberately form good habits,
then unconsciously you will form bad ones. You are the kind of
person you are today because you have formed the habit of being
that type of person, and the only way you can change is through
habit.

YOUR LACK OF SUCCESS HAS NOT BEEN
YOUR FAULT – UNTIL NOW!
Your lack of success to date is probably not because you’re lazy or
stupid. It’s probably because you don’t know how. The tragedy, of
course, is that it’s not all that difficult. Wind the clock back a
thousand years, and the secrets to success were practically all that
used to be taught in schools. Although, it was only the privileged few
that enjoyed a formal education back then, the point we are trying to
make is that, the knowledge is, and has always been, available. It just
isn’t being shared.
We would like to make a very important point at this moment, which
is based on a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson. Ralph Waldo
Emerson was an American essayist, lecturer and poet, and what he
said was this. This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but
know what to do with it. We’ve highlighted this below once again for
your benefit, as we want you to pause and ponder his words a little
further. It is important that you read the words carefully and know
that they are true.
This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know
what to do with it.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
This time, regardless of what may be transpiring in the world, can be
a very good one for you, if you simply gain the knowledge to know
what to do.
So, in simple terms, that’s our job. We are your guides. We can teach
you how to be both Rich and Happy – how to achieve an abundance
of Heath, Wealth and Happiness in your life – in a surprisingly short
period of time.
If you’re not 100% happy with the life you are currently living, your
role is to change. As Charles Darwin reminds us: It is not the
strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that
survives. It is the one most adaptable to change.

This is an extremely important point. If you want to lead a
remarkable life then you must change.

“I MUST CREATE A BETTER WORLD, FIRST OF
ALL FOR MYSELF, THEN FOR EVERYONE
I COME INTO CONTACT WITH.”
– BOB PROCTOR & MARY MORRISEY
Once you have achieved your own dreams, you are well positioned
to help others. This is where you will find real joy – the ability to help
others achieve their goals in life. This is the concept of servant
leadership. It is actually through serving others that you will achieve
the greatest level of wealth, of health and of happiness in your life.
The difference between what we actually do, and what we are
capable of doing, would solve most of the world’s problems. There is
nothing wrong in wanting a richer, fuller and more abundant life.
That desire is both praiseworthy and natural. We’re here to create;
create a better world, first of all for ourselves, and then for everyone
with whom we come in contact. What makes you desire more is the
same desire that makes the plant grow; it is life, seeking fuller
expression.
Countries like Australia, the USA, Canada, Singapore, Japan, the UK
and Germany are some of the wealthiest countries in the world.
With bountiful natural resources, a well-educated population, a
stable political system and an admirable justice system, their
occupants have so many advantages and opportunities at their
disposal.
As members of this fraternity, we are better placed than 80% of the
world when it comes to living a life rich in abundance and helping the
less fortunate. Humans are a wanting animal. As one desire is
satisfied, another typically pops up to take its place. The secret to life
lies not in ridding ourselves of that desire but rather turning that
wanting for more towards wanting more for others! A simple shift
from a focus on oneself to a focus on helping others is all that is
required. Keep the desire but make others the beneficiary of your
desire.

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try and cheer somebody else
up. Our success and our ultimate happiness will flow as a
consequence of our helping others.
It is the degree to which we ultimately satisfy others that will
determine our own success.
