... reasons you could possibly be unhappy.

Did you know there are only three possible reasons for you to be unhappy?

That probably feels odd to read that... am I right?

You may be thinking, but Nate, how could there ONLY three reasons.

I've experienced lots of unhappy moments in my life. You likely have to.

Hell, you can probably recall some of them right now.

But here's the thing, if you're experiencing a lack of happiness it's because you're either a) focusing on something in the past. b) thinking about something outside your control in the present, or c) worrying about something in the future.

That's it. All unhappiness boils down to one of those three things.

When you focus on your past, you neglect to live in the present moment. You waste your time thinking about things that have already happened. And the best part about the past is that it's over.

If you're stressing over things currently outside your control, that's foolish too. You can't control it, so why stress over it. It's outside your control.

And if you're worrying about something in your future... you don't even know if that's how it's going to play out. Now you just get to live with the experience twice. If it's a good experience that's great. But if it's negative, why do that to yourself.

It's a double punishment.

The only way to ensure you're happy is to live in the now. The past is over and the future has yet to arrive.

And, if it's within the present moment, focusing on how you think about the current situation is all you can control.

So, with the holidays right around the corner, focus only on those thing which you can control. i.e. your mind. And let everything else take care of itself.

Because believe me, you'll be much happier when you do!

Death - Before - Dishonor

To your success,

Nate
