Lewis Howes

When there's an opportunity in front of you, a decision you need to make, you know where you're heading.

And so if that opportunity, thing, relationship doesn't serve your North Star, it's a no.

If it does serve it, maybe it's a yes.

It all depends on what works for you in this moment.

Again, you make decisions differently when you're clear.

And happy people are clearer about where they're heading.

You stop chasing every distraction or saying yes to everything that's pulling your energy.

You stop comparing your life to others because you're focused on your vision, your goals, your dreams.

You're not thinking about, ah, what is everyone else doing?

And comparing yourself and putting yourself lower than them, that will make you very unhappy.

You stop letting the world pull you in thousands of different directions and distracting you all over the place.

Happy people live intentionally, not reactively.

And they ask themselves, does this align with the life I'm trying to build?

Does taking this action, being in relationship with this person, eating these types of foods,

living in this city, being in this environment, taking this class, learning this skill, does this align with the life I'm trying to build?

And if the answer is no, then they let it go.

And if the answer is yes, then they go all in.

And man, it doesn't mean it's always going to be perfect, but they're going to be happier from the decision they're making out of alignment.

Purpose simplifies your life.

It calms your mind.
