5 secrets to be Happy By Dr. Michael Narwod
Secret 2
to be Happy No Matter What —
Perfecting your Inner Guidance System
For becoming happy no matter what you may be facing, there is nothing more important than having a finely tuned Inner Guidance System.
Without having a deep inner sense of knowing precisely what is right for you — what gives you energy and joy and wealth and happiness — you may find yourself in the rut of making the same mistakes over and over again . . .
choosing the wrong business and personal relationships over and over again . . .
going down the wrong path over and over again . . .
living with the frustration of constant near misses, an untapped potential and the pervasive feeling of being stuck on the sidelines in a life of unrelenting mediocrity.
HOWEVER . . .
when you learn Secret 2 of how to tap your inborn laser-directed Inner Guidance System,
You - become - the - actual - creator - of -
The - Law - of - Attraction.
You manifest "Attraction."
You begin attracting more happy people and happy situations to your life, and you become a beacon of light for all those who don't yet know the keys to this Secret that you discover in the audio recording of a 2-hour teleseminar I gave just 3 months ago.
Here's a glimpse of some of the important points of Secret 2 talked about in that teleseminar so you can begin empowering yourself with them right now:
Life Changes on a Dime —
Once you understand the full power of this statement — that Life Changes on a Dime — you unlock extraordinary resources inside of yourself and around you to begin having your own life change on a dime in the precise direction of wealth and happiness you most want it to go.
Here's a brief audio clip about this powerful secret:
Now, the question is HOW can you proactively make your life change on a dime?
And how can you leverage this knowledge to begin making the gentle shifts in your life that create such automatic changes from a path of negativity and mediocrity, to a life of joy, fulfillment and excellence?
You Already Know the Answers!
This is the most empowering key of everything outlined in this letter.
And it's so empowering because it keeps you from a never-ending search outside of yourself.
It mobilizes that knowledge that you need go no further than your own head and your own heart to find everything you need to perfect your Inner Guidance System.
Drop Your Agendas
In this key, you learn that by consciously not being so tied to your agendas, you open yourself up for something newer and better to enter your life each moment.
This doesn't mean you never make plans.
Rather, you'll discover how to stay open to new and unexpected opportunities that you'll attract to you by simply developing this new flexibility and higher awareness.
Additionally, you'll discover that —
The Greater Your Challenge,
The More Opportunity You Have For Greater Happiness.
Sounds like a paradox, but it's true.
You see, a supposedly perfect life . . .
free of all cares . . .
free of all challenges . . .
is NOT the prescription for happiness.
In fact, most people on so-called "easy street" are decidedly unhappy.
I know.
I was there.
Just 23 years old.
I was enjoying financial freedom after graduating as the youngest doctor in the United States and selling my first practice for a pretty darn nice sum after less than two years running it.
At 23 I was living a dream, travelling throughout Europe and the Middle East, enjoying my first time off following a very trying 6 years growing up with a teenaged sister with terminal cancer . . .
followed immediately by a highly accelerated college program and three intense years pursuing my post-graduate degree with hardly more than a weekend vacation.
And I had made it -
I had skipped many years of school, graduated on my 21st birthday, and then sold my first practice when I was still just a kid at 23 years old.
There I was, a lot of money in the bank and living carefree overseas, my life feeling as if it was right out of a novel.
YET . . .
truth be told . . .
I felt quite directionless during that time.
Quite purposeless.
I had far too much time on my hands for someone so young and with so much potential.
Now, to be honest, I was not "unhappy."
I loved my 3 years abroad.
But despite my freedom and my wealth . . . you cannot begin to compare my sense of purposefulness, direction and inner joy to that which I paradoxically experienced close to a decade later during the 13 most difficult years of my life . . .
from 1994 to 2007.
And during those 13 years, I lost everything.
All security.
All financial wealth.
All my freedom
And . . . most challenging of all . . . I would lose my last living family member and the most dearly beloved person in my life . . . my mother.
Those of you who have read my book, The 9 Insights of the Wealthy Soul — an international Christmas-time bestseller for 5 years in a row — are familiar with what happened to me in the early nineties, which was the time leading up to the even more dire 13 years that followed.
During those years, I began flying back and forth from my newly formed holistic practice in Atlanta, Georgia to aid my mother in Florida, who was taking care of my ailing father.
This time was in truth the first stage of my loss of freedom . . .
yet the beginning of the discovery of The 5 Secrets to be Happy No Matter What I am sharing with you here.
During those first two years I went from being the free and easy young doctor with life at his fingertips . . . to someone who never could get enough sleep, watching his enviable life slip away.
My newly formed practice started to disintegrate before it had even gotten off the ground.
It was impossible to maintain it when so much time was being spent 480 miles away, care-giving to a dying father.
Nevertheless, my life would be transformed during those difficult two years when my Dad, as a final legacy, shared with me The 9 Insights of the Wealthy Soul.
These Insights enabled him to survive death-defying near crashes as a WWII pilot . . . and later would enable him to recover from the devastating loss of his 18 year old daughter (my sister) . . . and after, to go on to use the same 9 Insights to make a small fortune in the stock market.
Thousands of lives changed . . .
More than a decade later, thousands of people's lives would similarly be affected by reading The 9 Insights of the Wealthy Soul book and applying those same universal principles to transform their own challenges into their greatest triumphs.
Though deeply saddened by my father's loss, after his passing in 1994 I was thrilled at the thought of being able to return to my free-spirited life in Atlanta as the successful young doctor.
But that is not what was meant to be.
The trial of my life was just beginning.
And it came in the form of my mother's inability to cope with anything immediately following my father's passing.
And, once again, I found myself flying back and forth from Atlanta to Florida, my practice day by day disintegrating.
You see, a practice takes years to build . . . particularly in my specialty of holistic care. And each week I spent away from my practice, it, along with all of my financial stability, would diminish another notch.
I eventually moved my mother in with me. And soon I would lose most of my friends when caring for my mother became a more and more full-time job.
Unfortunately, people naturally started staying away when Alzheimer's began rearing its head, reshaping my mother's soul as well as my life.
And because I no longer was financially sound, I couldn't afford someone to look after her. It was about then that I simply left my nearly defunct practice.
The last 5 years of this journey were spent in my mother's one bedroom condominium in Florida where I would sleep on a pull-out sofa in the living room, my back eventually becoming numb to the springs that made it feel like I was sleeping on a bed of nails.
Timeless Happiness
No Matter What Your Challenges
Amazingly, it was during this 13 year period of ever-worsening circumstances following my father's passing that I would, one after another, discover The 5 Secrets to be Happy No Matter What, and apply them to being timelessly happy myself —
this despite how extraordinarily lonely it was in that tiny one bedroom condominium . . .
how tied my hands were to go out and simply earn a living . . .
how I stayed for years on the brink of bankruptcy and foreclosure . . .
and, most difficult of all, how day by day, I would watch my beloved mother slowly losing ground.
Yet, because of the 5 Secrets I continue sharing with you below, I nearly always awoke joyful.
Every day was filled with a sense of purpose and direction as I began my career on the internet writing a free journal called The Wealthy Soul Newsletter.
The most amazing thing of all during that time was how those 5 Secrets to being Happy No Matter What equally affected my mother.
I'll share more about that with you in just a moment.
But first, allow me to share with you Secret 3 of Being Happy No Matter What.
Enjoy!

5 happines ssecrets by Dr. Michael Norwood
Kindly allow me to acknowledge
that perhaps you are living through a challenge
that has you feeling like
you're in a type of prison. . .
something you dreaded . . .
something you feared . . .
something that is confining your spirit . . .
something constricting your being . . .
some type of noose that is not allowing you to breathe . . .
not permitting you to live fully and joyfully each and every day.
It may be the current world financial crisis that has come crashing down on you.
It may be a personal health issue.
It may be a difficult relationship challenge with a spouse, loved one or colleague.
It may simply be a general feeling of emptiness and purposelessness.
Whatever it is for you . . .
Whether it's temporary or prolonged. . .
Take heart.
There is a way out.
See if you don't agree after hearing this story and empowering yourself with The 5 Secrets to be Happy No Matter What.
You'll immediately be able to begin applying these secrets as you read them.
Each of these 5 Secrets has a series of "keys" to unlock that timeless happiness inside of you.
For instance, here is the first Secret for you to discover:
Secret 1
of being Happy No Matter What
is the secret of
How to Find Wealth Every Day
Meaning . . .
You don't have to wait until tomorrow.
You don't have to wait until whatever challenge you're going through is over.
You don't have to wait until the stock market turns around.
You don't have to wait until you're out of debt.
You don't have to wait until you leave your job.
You don't have to wait until you figure out what your Life Purpose is.
You don't have to wait until your spouse gets over his or her "hissy fit" (as folks said when I was growing up in the South).
You don't even have to wait until the stress of your divorce is over.
And you also don't have to wait until you've found the solution to whatever health problem you or a loved one may be facing.
Secret 1 enables you to be happy RIGHT NOW.
How can you be certain this Secret will do for you what it did for me?
In just a moment you can hear an audio of me sharing Secret 1 via telephone with a group of people from all over the world.
This brief sample is taken from a teleseminar that took place January 2006.
Though not a single one of the 200 people who signed up for that call knew it, the truth was —
that I was more isolated than ever then . . . more broke than ever . . . and at the height of my 13 year challenge.
Yet, despite such a restrictive lifestyle . . .
despite being totally isolated . . .
despite having a challenge few people would care to trade for . . .
I was, as I've shared . . . HAPPY.
Truly VIBRANT.
And I share how you can start to see beauty and experience happiness in ways that are much easier and much closer at hand than you may ever have imagined:
And below is a sample of a few of the many other keys revealed in that telephone call about Secret 1 of How to Find Wealth Every Day:
The Imperfect World Key
This is simply accepting and discovering how to leverage the fact that we indeed do live in an imperfect world, and that inner wealth & joy come to you as a direct result of rising above those imperfections . . . and even celebrating them . . . not running away from them.
Here is another brief yet very beautiful audio.
It has to do with a man named Charlie who was portrayed on TV, trying to overcome his childhood growing up in an environment where he was taught to hate other races. In the audio, a portion of this Imperfect World Key is revealed having to do with you discovering more happiness and wealth and "Wealthy Souls" immediately around you:
The Tu Tu Tango Key
This key has to do with learning how to place yourself on a moment's notice in target-rich environments to create special moments in your life — one of the great keys to happiness. Once you know where to look, the best of these places can be found just minutes from your own home, and they automatically bring you a sense of inner well-being and happiness.
The Intention Key
This is also called The Volition Key, or "The Voluntary Ignition Key."
With this principle, you discover that YOU have the key.
YOU turn on the ignition.
YOU steer your vehicle in whatever direction you wish.
YOU are the director of your own destiny.
The simple question is HOW do you steer your life away from the things that bring you down, and toward the direction of your greatest happiness?
First and foremost, you simply have to have the intention to do so, and learn the fine points of this Intention Key to solve this riddle for yourself.
Now maybe you can begin to see how each of The 5 Secrets of Being Happy No Matter What individually and together put me on a sort of auto-pilot to never cease being happy during my 13-year-long trial.
And this was despite how increasingly dire the situation became each year.
You see —
The Prison I was in
was no ordinary one . . .
It had no bars, nor guards with guns.
But indeed, I couldn't leave.
Indeed, I was in isolation for the last 5 of those 13 years.
And it was a rare visitor that ever came to see me.
BUT . . .
Here's the thing. . .
During that entire 13 year period, I never stopped moving ahead.
And I never lost my joy.
I'm just human, and certainly did have my moments . . .
moments when things appeared so bleak, I wasn't sure if I would ever find my way out.
But, they were just that . .
moments.
One by one, having discovered the 5 Secrets and all the unique keys of each of those 5 Secrets, I rarely missed a beat.
Rare was the day I didn't wake up with a smile that radiated from my core.
I, in fact, found my God-Given Life Purpose during those 13 years . . .
just as you can find yours as a direct result of whatever challenge you may be facing this moment in time.
It's a paradox . . .
but your greatest challenges
can lead to not only your greatest joy . . .
not only to your greatest triumphs . . .
but also to you discovering your greatest Life Purpose.
You can call it a Law of Attraction thing . . .
how once you begin rising above your circumstances . . .
how once you begin radiating inner wealth and joy . . .
how good people and good circumstances and your greatest Life Purpose naturally start flowing toward you.
And that's what the purpose of this letter is . . .
to share with you the 5 Secrets of how to do that . . .
of how, first and foremost, to be Timelessly Happy.
We're not talking about a happiness that's there because everything in your life is perfect. . .
IT LIKELY ISN'T! — especially with the current economic crisis that has affected everyone . . .
including, probably, you.
We're talking about a happiness that's there DESPITE all that isn't right.
But to find that inner joy and highest purpose, you first have to discover How to find Wealth Every Day (Secret 1).
And once you've reshaped your life with that Secret, you're ready to begin leveraging —
ENJOY!

SGR Lesson 6 Positive Expectations
Positive Expectations
So you desire something big and you believe it's within your reach, you've already started to get the Law of Attraction working for you.
But here's the third and final step.
You should now expect what you're asking for to come to you.
Desiring and believing something is possible is not the same as expecting it to occur.
The following example might clarify the difference.
You loaned money to a friend. It's been 3 months and he's yet to repay you. You're asking for the money but you just don't seem to be getting it back.
You certainly DESIRE the money to come back to you.
You do BELIEVE your friend could and is capable of paying you back.
What's missing is expectancy. Because you don't expect him to pay you back you're causing the Law of Attraction to act against your favor. You get stressed, feel angry at his lack of appreciation and integrity. These negative feelings hold you in a state where you're pushing away the money.
Now imagine what would happen if you suddenly got a call from your friend saying that he's come around and has decided to repay the money. He tells you he's mailed you a check using Fedex. To ease your doubts, he faxes you a copy of the check and the Fedex delivery receipt. You now have a changed attitude. You now EXPECT the check to come. As the saying goes, you can relax because "the check is in the mail".
This is what we mean by expectation!
When you've developed a proper degree of expectation, you're able to relax and allow the Law of Attraction to work for you and not against you.
As the late Sam Walton, at one point America's richest man said:
I expect to win. I go into tough challenges always planning to come out victorious. It never occurred to me that I might lose, it was almost as if I had a right to win. Thinking like that often seems to turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Let's provide another example of how this works. This is an actual example from a student of Bob Proctor's. John from New York ran a small business with his wife. They built websites for clients. One day, Andrew, an old friend of John's approached them and asked them to invest some money in a potential business idea. John was intrigued so he signed the papers and made the investment of $12,000.
John thought he was buying into a great idea but in reality the business was unsound and the so-called friend had no intention of returning John's investment. John felt betrayed and cheated. He had just lost $12,000 - he and his wife had been saving up for their future plans.
John had been chasing his friend Andrew for months to no avail. John DESIRED the money. He BELIEVED Andrew could return the money. But he just did NOT EXPECT it to come to him given Andrew's character.
What would John do in a situation like this?
After studying the Science of Getting Rich John said "The answer hit me like a brick. Because I had been CHASING the money, I was placing myself in a state of mind where I simply pushed the money away. I saw myself as someone who had LOST $12,000."
John knew he could not change Andrew's character so he decided to try a different way of earning his money back. He decided "I was going to make up mind to earn $12,000 within a month. I knew I deserved the money. I opened myself up to the possibility of the money coming to me - almost like a gift form the Universe - but through other sources. In my daily meditation - I saw myself receiving a check for $12,000. But I did not care where that check came from. I just desired it, believed it was possible and expected it to come".
John reported that within 3 weeks of changing his mindset he received a pleasant surprise. A particular client commissioned a project that was much larger than normal for John. John had to work 2 days on the project. But his payout was far greater than normal. Coincidently - the payout was EXACTLY $12,000. Prior to this John had never received a check of that size.
Coincidence? Perhaps. But that's exactly what you'll start to notice happening in your life once you begin to apply the Law of Attraction.
Desire, Belief and Expectation --- these are the 3 forces of power than you must learn to harness to allow the Law of Attraction to work for you.
Get in the habit of thinking big and desiring wonderful things for yourself and for your fellow man.
Believe that it's possible. Build your belief system by aiming for bigger and bigger goals each time you accomplish something new.
Finally, expect good things to happen. As you apply the lessons here you'll notice streams of beautiful coincidences pushing you in the directions you seek. Your expectation of good things will grow and blossom.
And when all three are aligned - good things will certainly come to you in numbers and magnitude far greater than you might ever imagine.
Sincerely,
Hanna Jameson,
ENJOY!
