Get rid of the "If only" mindset



INTRODUCTION
A lot of people wait for some circumstance change in their life before they will be happy as if their

happiness is dependent on their circumstances. Happiness does not depend on your situation but rather is

your attitude despite what is happening in your life. 

Get rid of the "If only" mindset

Being the person you want to be is not a license to being happy. Unless you are happy with where you

are at then you will not be happy once you acquire the thing which you thought you needed in order to be

happy.

What I am saying is that joy does not come from external circumstances but rather from within.

Here is a list of stuff which people think you make them happy:

"If only I...

"Won the lottery."

"Got married."

"Owned a new car."

"Lived in a better house."

"Went for an overseas holiday."

"Owned the latest model smart phone."

"Lost a lot of weight."

Do you know what drives these wants?

Covetousness.

Other people always seem to have what we want.

This leads some people to be resentful to those who they think have it all together.

The use of social media has enabled the sin of covetousness to flourish as so many young people display

the best of their lives online.

Others see all this stuff on facebook and others have got the perfect life.

One can understand someone who feels that their life is not going the way they would like it to be but

having a go at those who have what they desire is not going to improve your lot in life. On the contrary

jealousy and covetousness are negative attitudes which repel the very thing you desire and that includes

achieving your ideal weight goal.

My point is this. Be the best YOU can be within your capabilities and not focus on others.

"Your attitude belongs to you and you alone; nobody can make you have a bad attitude if you don't want

one."-Joyce Meyer

Losing weight is a multi billion dollar per year industry so it is fairly safe to say that there is a lot of people

who are prepared to pay a lot of money for products and services which will assist them to lose weight.

Being content with who you are will go a long way to helping you become the person you desire to be. 

That is not intended to be a contradiction or patronizing, but rather to encourage you to be the kind of

person which others enjoy being around.

Finding your why

Finding your why A why is what gives us motivation to do something. It is the fuel which energizes us and gives us the enthusiasm to lift us over the obstacles which stand in our way. Having a "Why" gets us out of bed in the morning. It is living your life with a purpose. How do I find my "Why"? Some people find it by a life-changing event such as a tragedy or other event which affects someone in their own family. In the 1970s a solo mother began campaigning for tighter restrictions and safer use of fireworks after an incident where someone was hurt by fireworks. She became known as the fireworks lady. She traveled around the country giving talks in schools for the safe use of fireworks. The laws governing the sale and use of fireworks in New Zealand are regarded as the most stringent in the world. During the early 2000s a university student in New Zealand was murdered by her professor whom she was in a relationship with. The student's name was Sophie Elliot. He

INTRODUCTION Set a healthy living goal rather than a weight loss one Living a life which you enjoy includes eating the right foods and getting enough exercise. Without either your ability to get the most out of your life will be hampered. It is suggested that you aim to develop a healthy lifestyle rather than focus on losing weight. Setting a goal of "To replace unhealthy foods with healthy ones," is more achievable and creates less anxiety than to set a goal of "To lose x amount of kilos in x amount of time."
