Do you know how many thoughts you think on a daily basis?
And that most of them are of the ‘worrying’ kind?
If we leave our ‘brain alone’ it’ll overwhelm us with negative thoughts.
Psychologists have discovered that more than 60-70% of what we think is discouraging, ‘mental chatter’.
Thoughts like:
- “Oh, others are more successful than me.”
- “Look how happy they are – it’s just not happening to me.”
And so on.
As long as we don’t change our thoughts, we spin on a downward spiral..
Conscious thoughts leading towards a goal in life, and taming the ‘monkey mind’ (as the Buddhists say) are the key to happiness and success.
How do I know? Well I had to experience it to understand it.
I was a very famous actor in Germany, living the ‘red carpet’ life, believing I had everything you could wish for.
But actually, I was deeply unhappy.
After 40 years in the industry, I decided to find out how I could truly be happy, and locked myself away for a four-month ‘retreat’ in a flat with no electricity. My goal was to find out how I can be truly happy.
