“I don’t know what that is” he said shyly.”
“O.k. where do you see your life in a few years time?”
“I don’t know.”
“I’d like to give you a gift”, I suggested. I had his attention. “I’m going to give you my life-mantra. It’s a positive cluster of words that I’ve been saying over and over for about twenty years, and it’s all come true. It’s all come into my life.” Now I really had his interest.
He was silent, waiting for his “gift”.
Here it is, it goes like this… it’s a mantra: “I’m happy, healthy, wise and wealthy. That’s it.” He looked at me. “I could say the “happy and healthy bit but the wise and wealthy… I don’t know.”
“You say it, and it will all come to you”.
“Oh, I’ve heard that before,” he said smiling.
“Well let me tell you it’s true. It’s worked for me, that’s for sure.”
My mantra has made me the man I am today. It’s my brand. I am happy, healthy, wise and wealthy. That’s me and I share those values with as many people as I can.
