Teenagers Say Happiness Comes From Family

A poll conducted in April by the Associated Press and mtv indicates that what makes teens happy is not what some might expect. Although money, sex, music and other factors were examined by the study, the top answer teens gave to the open-ended question “What makes you happy?” was spending time with family.

The second-most frequent reply was spending time with friends, and spending time with a boyfriend or girlfriend came in third.

Teens who were in wealthier families were generally happier than those who were poorer, but very few respondents listed money as what made them happy.

For 13- to 17-year-olds, being sexually active actually made them less happy. Sexually active 18- to 24-year-olds were happier “in the moment, but not in general,” according to the Associated Press report on the study.

According to the same report, a majority of young people said school made them happy and that they thought that eventually marrying and having children of their own would make them happy.

Nearly three in four teens said their relationship with their parents made them happy, and when asked who were their heroes, half responded with Dad or Mom.

While these results might seem revelatory to some, the Trumpet has consistently maintained that family life is the most vital part of a young person’s life. Although millions of teens are turning to ever-worsening vices—drugs, alcohol, illicit sex, degrading entertainment—these diversions are actually robbing them of happiness. This study shows there is an open door: Young people know deep down that meaningful, dependable happiness comes from family.

2 Words That Change Your Life

Today, I’m going to share with you a 2-word phrase that can change your life.

You might be wondering what those two words are. Don’t worry, we’ll get there in a moment.

You know, when I ask my friends about what they really want in their lives, their dreams, etc., the answers that I often receive are:

I don’t know

I’m not sure

I wish I had one…

(Or they just give me a guilty smile)

These answers are not specific at all and if you really know what you want, how on earth you expect to GET IT?!

It just doesn’t make any sense.

Picture this:

You get into a cab and as usual the cab driver will ask you where do you wane go. What if you tell the cab driver this, “I don’t know, just drive and I’ll tell you when we have reached.”

(If I’m the cab driver, I’ll throw you out on the spot. You’re wasting my time.)

How do you expect to get to the destination if you don’t know where you want to go?

It sounds crazy but that’s how most people leading their lives. Their motto seems to be “life happens to me” instead of “I create my own life and destiny.” Are you one of them? I hope not.

The third answer, which is “I wish I can,” is more specific but it lacks some passion in it. The word, “I wish” means you hope to get something but you don’t necessarily need it.

Here’s an example:

Let’s say you just finished your dinner and for some unknown reasons, you just want to taste a small slice of cheese cake. You want it not because you are hungry. It’s just that if you have it, your life will be better and if you don’t, no big deal to you as well.

That’s what I mean by lacking of passion, when you just wish for something and nothing further.

To teach your goal, you need more powerful words than just “I wish.” The two words are, I WANT!

When you say, “I want,” it means you must have it and there’s no excuse for you not to have it. It’s like oxygen—it’s very essential to one’s existence!

You don’t just wish that you could have plenty of oxygen to breathe, do you? You want it and you must have it because it gives you life. See the difference?

If you want to be successful, integrate these 2 words in your life:

“I WANT”

For example:

I want to be a millionaire.

I want a healthy life.

I want to go to gym and workout everyday.

I want to give lots of love to my wife, children and family each and everyday.

I want to be financially free by 31^st December 2009.

I want to help at least one person a day for the rest of my life.

I want to get 5 new customers (and keep them) everyday.

I want my family and I to be happy together.

And many more…

See yourself as a commander. When you use the words “I want,” you are giving commands to yourself and the universe. Every command must be clear and specific.

Your words are NOW laws!

The phrase “I want” gives you more authority and motivation to achieve something than the phrase “I wish.”

Try to say these 2 sentences out loud:

I want to be successful!

I wish to be successful.

Which sentence gives you more driving force to be successful? (Share your thought with me in the comment box.)

So, remember to use the word “I want” when you attract the things you want with the Law of Attraction.

How a bird visualize its way to learn flying

I can’t believe this bird is working so hard to visualise its way to learn flying. I am wondering if he did watch The Secret movie or read my blog. This bird is applying the Law of Attraction to ‘fly’ its way to success. It understands The Secret.

Go on ‘bird’, the universe will manifest your thought. The word impossible just don’t exist in this world.

Moral of the story:
Take massive action, don’t give up, persistency pays, visualization is a very powerful tool.

“Fly ” your way to success.
