In this episode of the MFCEO Project, we talk about how to be truly happy and how to get there. We talk about the importance of being happy in all areas of your life, whether that be your business, your career, your personal relationships, your fitness, or your personal life.
00:00:00.380I can stack them hundreds to the roof. I ain't stopping till they stack to the moon.
00:00:04.880Without me, my family wouldn't have food. Anybody go against me gotta lose.
00:00:12.600What is up guys? You're listening to the MFCEO Project. I'm Andy. I'm your host and I am the motherfucking CEO.
00:00:19.640Guys, today is Friday fire and I've got a good Friday message for you about how to be truly happy.
00:00:27.800Not how all the gurus and fluffballs and fucking weirdos out there tell you to be happy.
00:00:32.680I'm going to tell you how to be really happy. But before I get to that, if this is your first time listening, welcome.
00:00:39.840This is an entrepreneurship podcast. Yes, it is also a personal development podcast.
00:00:46.100Yes, it is also sometimes we just fuck around podcast.
00:00:49.540But, our goal here, our overlying goal, is to make you the motherfucking CEO of you.
00:00:59.760Alright? This isn't, you have to own a business podcast.
00:01:03.640You have to be obsessed with money podcast.
00:01:06.560Now yeah, we talk about a lot of that shit.
00:01:08.660Alright? Because it is entrepreneurship based.
00:01:10.460But the truth is, is entrepreneurship is more of a mentality and a culture than it is about actually being something.
00:01:18.140And developing that mentality is what's going to cause you to excel in all areas of your life.
00:01:25.440Whether that be your business, your career.
00:01:28.160Doesn't mean you have to own the business.
00:01:29.620You could be working inside of a company and be an entrepreneur.
00:01:32.020Your personal relationships, your fitness, all the things that make up excellence in your life are going to benefit from what we talk about on this show.
00:01:42.740Now, we don't run a million ads on the show.
00:02:31.300And we've grown tremendously over the years because we have very loyal following.
00:02:35.560A lot of people think that when I ask for a referral, I'm talking about one referral over the course of 280 episodes or whatever we've had so far.
00:02:42.640No, I'm asking for one referral per episode when you listen.
00:02:46.080And so, I know for sure it's a very small fee to ask because every single episode, you're going to learn something that will greatly improve one aspect of your life.
00:02:56.840And today, we're going to talk about being happy.
00:03:00.840Now, if you look on the internet, you're going to hear all this shit about self-love and accepting yourself and letting yourself off the hook and forgiving yourself and all this other shit.
00:03:13.680And does that shit have some validity?
00:03:51.640Now, you've heard me say this before when we talk about self-esteem, confidence, and all this shit.
00:03:57.120Because you got the fucking self-lovers out there right now that try to tell you, oh, you should just be happy and you should just have self-esteem and you should just have confidence.
00:04:18.600Having self-esteem, having self-worth, having confidence, they come from doing things that you're supposed to do.
00:04:26.960They come from upholding the things you're supposed to do.
00:04:31.020So, what I want to talk about today, we talk about this on other podcasts, so I'm not going to get into that part of it because I've talked about it a lot.
00:04:38.180Now, I'm going to talk about two things that can greatly affect your happiness in a positive way.
00:04:53.220If you're sitting there and you're not happy and you're frustrated and you're angry and you're looking around trying to figure out what's wrong, I'm going to give you a couple clues for you to figure it out.
00:05:02.340Number one, you're not challenging yourself enough.
00:05:06.600You're not demanding enough of yourself.
00:05:33.560I'm sure when people ask if you work hard, you tell them, yeah.
00:05:36.280But the truth is, your heart knows and your brain knows if you're spending six hours on fucking Instagram a day instead of doing the shit that you're supposed to be doing.
00:05:45.940So, the first thing that's going to make you unhappy is when you're not demanding enough of yourself.
00:05:51.140And the reason that's going to make you unhappy is because you know in your heart, in your soul, in your brain, that you are capable of much more.
00:06:00.940And when you're not challenging yourself the way that you should be, you're going to feel dead inside.
00:06:53.200Start challenging yourself to do the things you know you're capable of doing.
00:06:59.360Stop trying to slide by on the least possible effort.
00:07:04.120Stop trying to slide by on the least possible work.
00:07:08.580Those are the reasons that you're not happy right now, okay?
00:07:11.240And the second reason that you're not happy and that you need to fix is that when you live a life that's not congruent with what your core beliefs are of right or wrong, you're going to feel unhappy.
00:08:15.600You can't expect to think that, you know, that you should be working as hard as you can and you know that's the right thing you do,
00:08:25.900but you sit on the couch and watch TV or you'd half-ass your work or you do half-ass projects or you put it off onto other people.
00:08:35.260You can't expect to live both those lives and feel happy.
00:08:38.700And I believe this is the reason most people aren't happy.
00:08:43.020You can't believe that it's not okay to cheat on your spouse and then go out and cheat on your spouse and then expect to feel fucking good in your heart.
00:08:54.660You have to live congruent with what your values are.
00:08:59.580You have to live congruent with what you believe is right and wrong.
00:09:03.040And when you're not doing that, you're going to feel like shit.
00:09:28.180The second one, you're going to have to spend some time examining what your core values are, what your core beliefs are, what you feel is truly right and wrong.
00:09:39.140And then, the hard part is going to be you adjusting your lifestyle to align with that.
