In The Loop with Andy Andrews, hosted by Andy Traub.
On today’s episode, a listener writes in with the question: How do you apply the principle of “Today I choose to be happy”?
Andy’s simple answer is:
- No one wants to follow a grouch
- You have to become someone whom others want to follow
- Choose to be grateful
- Most people exist in life without anyone telling them how great they are
- Learn how to vocalize the things we are grateful for having in our lives
For those who think that living life this way may be hokey, Andy comments:
- What kind of life do you want to lead?
- What kind of mood do you want to establish in your house?
- What kind of aura do you want around you as you interact with others outside of your home?
- If you’re doing what everyone else is doing, then you’re doing something wrong, because everyone else is not living a life filled with extraordinary results
- If you treat people the way that you would like to be treated, most people will live up to your expectation, so treat them well
- Let others know what you expect of them, and how excited you are to be interacting with them
- The one thing more powerful than telling someone how great they are is telling their kids how great their parents are in front of them
