THE STAIRS TO SUCCESS
GRATITUDE
Being grateful for what we have in our daily lives or at least being reminded can make you a more positive, optimistic and even more successful individual. Experiencing a sense of gratitude can positively impact your mental, emotional & physical state and your ability to achieve the life you truly want. Gratitude is simply “appreciating your life for what you have and being thankful.” We should make it a point to thank God daily for all the blessings & abundance He provides. You should develop a crystal clear sense of how fortunate you are to be healthy, to have a family who loves you unconditionally, a handful of close & loyal friends, food on the table and a roof over your head. By being grateful, you start to appreciate being alive and see your life as a gift that is both fragile and wonderful, something for which you are profoundly grateful for. Gratitude is closely related to happiness and some people simply approach their lives with an attitude of thankfulness for what they have and who they are … on the other hand, some people rarely feel thankful at all, no matter how beautiful, healthy, powerful or wealthy they may be. People who approach their life with a sense of gratitude are constantly aware of what’s truly important, meaningful and wonderful about their lives because they enjoy the fruits of their successes and when things don’t go as planned, people who are grateful can put failure into a greater perspective. When you are grateful, others like to be around you because of your positivity and your optimistic outlook. Your appreciation includes and supports them. You help others to see the positive elements inherent in daily life, and to feel more hopeful about the possibilities and opportunities afforded them. Friendships and business associates are attracted to you when they feel appreciated for who they are and what they bring to the party. Your relationships with family and friends are more likely to be loving and supportive when you express your gratitude for all that they bring into your life. Gratitude is like a warm emotional light, shining within you to eradicate anger, envy, greed, hate, jealousy, bitterness, resentment, selfishness and all the most limiting and corrosive negative emotions we tend to feel. You may even notice a real change in the way you see and view your life. You may find that your efforts to create the career you wanted and to have a more satisfying way of life are becoming realized. You’ll begin to see firsthand the positive impact of approaching your life with a focus on gratitude which will give you even more to be grateful about for years to come. One of the most amazing things about gratitude, is that it has no limitations nor boundaries. You can be as grateful as you want to be and feel all the happiness & joy and inner peace you’ve been searching for all your life … what better time to start than right now … Sending you God’s continued blessings of peace, love and understanding.

CONTENTMENT….NECESSARY FOR TRUE HAPPINESS
Depressed & unhappy people live to make others lives miserable & unhappy! How then do we remain happy in a cruel & unhappy world? Everybody wants to live a happier way of life, but more often-then-not, many people inevitably don’t begin to realize that the happiness we seek so desperately, must start with you. If your not content with your own life nor at peace with yourself, no amount of money, nor the greatest of material wealth & possessions will ever make you genuinely, truly & honestly happy. True happiness comes from the wisdom within of knowing how to enjoy the life you are living right now and to remember to always appreciate, be grateful & thankful for all the wonderful blessings & abundance you have been granted. Living for a future time and yearning for those things missing in your life will never make you happy. We need to maintain a more cheerful attitude and feel the happiness from within & the more positive aspects that we are indeed, alive. Learn to slow down and notice the little things that really matter. Feeling happy about the little things throughout your day, adds up and contributes to an overall feeling of contentment & self-satisfaction. I believe that the religious or spiritual side of your life, is a very important part and that everyone needs to believe in something bigger than they are. I know that God is far-greater than any problem I am ever going to have and for me, this is a great source of comfort for the inner peace I feel. Start to build a closer relationship with the people in your life, your family & friends and remember that they are the most important people in your world. Treat your family & friends with respect, be thoughtful and kind and remember that your words are extremely powerful and can hurt as much as any weapon on earth. Avoid jealousy at all costs and try to be forgiving. Harboring ill feelings or grudges towards others, can do you a lot of emotional harm. It may help to remember, that you are who you are today, because of the situations, obstacles & events that has happened to you, good and bad & that even the most hurtful things you have experienced, have ultimately made you stronger, more courageous & a more resilient individual. Be honest & true with yourself and others. Don’t become controlling or manipulative in your personal relationships, and never lie nor be deceptive. Dishonesty in life is a drain on your soul. Know what your real values truly are and try to live up to them in everything you do. Physical activity and mental stimulation are good for both your health and well-being and will help you maintain a more positive outlook on life. Start to set long term goals for yourself and work towards them. These goals don’t necessarily have to be on a grand scale, but planning ahead far into the future, brings optimism and a sense of purpose & meaning to ones life. Give yourself, your family & friends a special treat once in a while. Do something just a little bit out of the ordinary. It takes but a moment & little effort to turn ordinary days into adventurous, exciting & memorable days. Stay close to nature as much as possible, for there is a great & rewarding satisfaction in working with growing and living things that you will never get from anything else. Most of all, dwell on what is good about your life today, right now. Appreciate the day-to-day positives that exists in your life. Don’t be so foolish to look for the happiness in the future, that you could possibly lose sight & miss out on the happiness you could be living today. … I Love You ♡ David Harrison Levi, Beverly Hills, CA
NO ONE EVER SAID THAT LIFE WAS EASY
It’s part of life … we are all faced with some form of adversity & challenges, we deal as best we can with hardship and we often struggle daily as best we can. We try to stay positive, keep our faith strong and be optimistic of what the future holds. But in the real world, things go wrong, some things we can change, others we can’t. Cars break down, computers crash, we get sick, people die and relationships breakup. And when it’s all said and done, there is you asking, questioning why. There are no excuses, no sound reasoning or soothing words that can help heal a broken heart or get you through a difficult & trying time. We are often left feeling lonely, sad with overwhelming thoughts and fear of the unknown with nowhere to turn. Yes there will be setbacks, but you’ll get through these difficulties and no matter what it is you are experiencing, things do get better and have a way of working themselves out. This is a learning experience and you will get past whatever it is that is causing you the greatest harm, grief, pain and sadness. With a little time, patience and understanding, you will soon realize just how brave, courageous and strong you really are. I love you ♡ David Harrison Levi Beverly Hills, CA
A MEANINGFUL LIFE
All too often, many of us who get caught up with our day to day chaotic and hectic schedules and responsibilities and the fast paced, modern world in which we live, regret working too much and expressing their feelings way too little. They wish they would have allowed themselves to be happier, appreciate what was available to them and are often sorry they lost touch with meaningful friends & family members and that they put the expectations of others above their own values and high standards. Stay true to what truly matters most; stay true to yourself. So what can we do to ensure that we lead a life that is important and meaningful to us? How can we uncover our truest selves and what matters most? What strategies can we use to identify and challenge the obstacles that keep us from pursuing and realizing our dreams, goals and aspirations? Think about what it is you really want in this lifetime. Most of us, just knowing who we really are is in itself, a huge accomplishment. It’s easy to say, live life on your own terms, but if you haven’t figured out those terms, you may feel like your drifting through time and space. When you don’t know what you want, you are driving through life without a steering wheel, unable to go straight. Figuring out your principles can help you stay focused and on course no matter what life throws at you. If you want to live a meaningful & more purposeful life, you should start by asking yourself the question, what am I really passionate about. What matters most to me? Your family, friends, your community and society in general will have plenty to say about what you should be doing, but only you can answer this question. You and only you are in control of your own destiny. Deciding what matters to you involves recognizing the people who matter to you most, determining that they are a priority in your life and that caring for them is part of what makes you happy. When you live a life that you cherish and are grateful for, everything around you holds more meaning. You are more likely to be a caring, compassionate, gentler, kinder, considerate and more understanding individual of other peoples needs and their paths in life. When you are not the most content nor fulfilled yourself, you can still be the most giving of yourself. Happy people are more likely to have successful marriages and relationships, more content in their career, superior work performance, community involvement, good health and well-being and ultimately living more fulfilled and longer lives. Living a more positive and optimistic life has a great deal of benefits and is often linked to characteristics like true happiness, inner peace and joy. You have the most to gain and value in the world around you, when you find and invest in the gifts that you uniquely have to offer. Believe in yourself and the path you are on.

YOUNG AT HEART
It’s really alarming when you hear senior citizens blaming their circumstances on everyone and everything, rather than taking responsibility for who they are and how they got here. They often teach me who I want to be and don’t want to be. I have found, the ones who have the best mental attitudes, are the ones who have endured the most courageously, bravely, boldly, with a positive and optimistic mindset and a faith in God that can’t be broken. Staying young at heart as we grow older, is how we choose to think. Change your thinking and change your life. I love you ♡ David Harrison Levi Beverly Hills, CA
DON’T THINK TOO MUCH!!!!
Over-thinking is one of the greatest causes of our own happiness and often robs you of your joy. It’s important to keep yourself occupied at all times, doing the things you’re most passionate about. Keep your mind off those things that don’t necessarily help you, cause you unnecessary drama and negativity and creates the anxiety & stress, fear & worry you so often feel. Depression stems from our overthinking. Have a positive and optimistic mindset and don’t let the people and the little things in life upset you and get you down. Your health and well-being should be your first priority. I love you ♡ David Harrison Levi Beverly Hills, CA
