\n\nI got a brilliant email from my friend Paul Thomas just a few days ago… he had me thinking about it today so I thought i’d pass it on to you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the desk of Paul Thomas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had an unbelievably horrible month, not too long ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 30 days, here\u2019s what the Universe brought me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I lost my job.<\/strong>
I lost my house.<\/strong>
And I was in a car accident that almost had me die…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was a brutal time in my life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it also drove me to an incredible experience\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, once I decided to take control and change my life\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went on a journey across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was hired to go to the Himalayas and study meditation with real Buddhist monks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while I had always been interested in meditation\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was AMAZED at some of the things they taught me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did my best to boil my 8-month trip down to 3 quick bullet points – so you can start unlocking your higher consciousness today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1: Happiness Is Not \u201cReal\u201d: It Only Describes Our Relationship to Other Things.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will come as a shock to many of you\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially if you know how much research I\u2019ve done on what happiness looks like inside our brain scans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But even though we can study happiness in the brain, it\u2019s not really a \u201cstate\u201d or a \u201cfeeling\u201d in the way that we tend to think of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happiness is the way you relate to events, people, and the world around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does that mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It means you won\u2019t have a moment in your life where you\u2019re suddenly filled with \u201chappiness.\u201d It\u2019s not something that HAPPENS to you\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s simply a relationship between you and something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a CHOICE!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, most often, that choice is SUBCONSCIOUS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever known someone who was NEVER happy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter what happened to them, they just couldn\u2019t feel any positivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I knew a guy like that once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One time, he got a bonus from work for $5,000, and the first words out of his mouth were, \u201cit should have been more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people are just never happy!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But their subconscious brains make the decision to relate to the Universe in a negative way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, your brain isn\u2019t stuck that way forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can rewire your brain to see things positively, to embrace new opportunities, and create more abundance automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: You Are NOT Your Job, Title, or Bank Account: You Are an Important Human Being and Your Feelings Matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I lived in the modern world and had a regular job, I was constantly defined by what I did or what I could achieve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My boss measured my worth in dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I met someone new, the first thing they asked was always, \u201cwhat do you do for a living?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And people around me constantly judged me based on my clothes, my car, my weight, and my \u201cstatus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when I got to the Himalayas, I met some incredible human beings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The monks I studied meditation with were truly caring and loving people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And they NEVER asked me what I did for a living!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It didn\u2019t matter to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, they asked about me, who I was deep down, and what I was feeling every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, the things that mattered most weren\u2019t what I could do for other people, or how much money I could make. Instead, I was important because I was human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\u00a0you matter, too<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t care how much money you have or what car you drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t care about your body or your job title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I care about YOU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your emotions, thoughts, and dreams are what make you unique\u2026 and that\u2019s what matters the most!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Friendships (and Communities) Are ESSENTIAL to Living Your Best Life, No Matter Who You Are.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meditation is a solitary exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You sit there quietly, close your eyes, and focus on your own mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By definition, you CANNOT meditate \u201cwith other people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s 100% you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that doesn\u2019t stop monks from living together in close communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because even though they spend a lot of time meditating silently\u2026 they still surround themselves with friendship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a monk with 20 years of experience gets help from other people, you should too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to personally invite you to join my community<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love meeting new people, discussing your journey, and helping each other out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, we\u2019re all in this together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please\u00a0join me<\/a> <\/a>today<\/a>. I really look forward to seeing you there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Paul Thomas, your friend and guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a minute, I really want you to\u00a0check<\/a> <\/a>out this presentation.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll learn how a simple daily ritual can unlock incredible amounts of happiness and create a deep connection to the Universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll even get about 10 years\u2019 worth of meditation ability and personal transformation in just a few minutes a day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
