Q&A - Start over or grin and bare it?

Q- I was enlightened by your book...and agree with you ....I believe there are two types of people in this world....givers and takers....I want to be a total giver, but am surrounded by takers and a wife whom is a giver to her children. I call her an enabler, unfortunately I have become there slave and my cast with my wife has become an endless life of servitude....what do you recommend ...do I start over or grin and bare it

A- Without knowing all the facts I can't answer your question. However, I can make a strong suggestion that you and your wife both read my book. Then have an honest and open conversation with her about the issues you have about her, your children and your relationship.

see page 78 > Since we are all individuals, we have different interest and priorities. Fair compromises and kept agreements are the key to all successful relationships. The Daily Affirmation is a great foundation for all relationships to build upon.

see page 66 > Realize that there are three sides to every argument or disagreement. They are: your side, their side and the truth. Instead of defending your side, look for the truth behind the facts and what you may or may not be doing to cause the problem. Even if you are only at fault 1%, take responsibility for your actions and do your best to correct them. Many of your personal confrontations and challenges can be solved with this approach.

Hopefully, you and your wife will take responsibility for your actions and do your best to correct them. Let me know how it goes after your wife reads my book and you discuss it with her.

"Thank you very much for writing this little e-Book. It has educated and inspired me to follow the 8 words of wisdom. I have read many self-help, happiness books in the past but yours has inspired me the most. It’s a simple, but powerful message. I am going to post a link to your website from mine. Thanks again Michael."
- John Paul Monaco

"Thank you so much for your Happy Book. Having worked with your previous book, The Mental Keys to Improve Your Golf for nearly three years now, understanding your concepts was fairly easy, but definitely necessary to hear in order to incorporate them into my everyday life. "I am always truthful, positive, and helping others" has become a mainstay in my life and I plan to continue that for as long as I live. I try to live by this affirmation everyday, and as a result, it becomes easier and easier each day.

"I am living an extremely happy life right now in large part to your help and guidance over the past few years. I hope that I can help others find this peace of mind and success of happiness the way you have helped me to it in my life. Thanks again for everything you have given to me and to the world. You are a true example of a giving person and one that I am glad the universe intended me to meet."
Your Friend,

"What a great book. Thank you for putting this out into the world. It takes bravery indeed to be this candid and expose so much of yourself in an effort to help others. It will take some time for me to assimilate your teachings into my current belief system, but certainly worth the effort. Be happy through being truthful, positive and helping others! "
-Roland Achtel

" My name is Adam La Spina and I am 15 years old and live in Perth, Western Australia. Your book has enlightened me and made me appreciate so much more in the world and I am very willing to live the Daily Affirmation 100%. However, I must firstly start by being much nicer and more supportive towards my parents and my family, and your book has helped me to be able to do that.

"Your book has been the best book I have ever read and I am going to try my hardest to help change the world for the better of people. Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to read your book free of charge and thank you very much for sharing with me the 8 words I AM ALWAYS TRUTHFUL, POSITIVE AND HELPING OTHERS!!!!"
- Adam La Spina

" May your desire to help make the World a Happier and better place by changing one person at a time become a reality. Personally, I think this will happen and I will do my part by forwarding your email to all my friends, relatives and business associates.

"You have my deep admiration for writing your Happy Book and giving it to me and the World without charge! I too dream of one day being able to do something similar for the benefit of my friends and the World at large. My heartfelt thanks and Congratulations for giving me and the World your eight words to live by. I WILL ALWAYS BE TRUTHFUL, POSITIVE AND HELPING OTHERS.

Q&A about God/Christ

I'm happy to announce that the First Edition of "How to Be Happy" is available.  For you free copy visit www.HowToBeHappy.org.

Below is my first Question and my Answer:

Q- How can we "will" to be happy or positive or truthful without God/Christ at the center of our lives? Or am completely missing the point behind your "happy book."

A- The Happy Book is not about religion. It's about always being truthful, positive and helping others. I'm sure that Jesus would have no problem endorsing the "Daily Affirmation" in my Happy Book and recommending you live by it.

Be Happy and Keep Smiling,

"I just finished reading your book, TWICE!. As a person of strong values and desire to live an ethical life I find your book the most helpful tool in our current culture. It is truly an effective tool for functioning in a society where truth seems to be lost; expediency the norm; blind ambition and greed rewarded at any cost as popularized by shows like "Survivor" and "The Apprentice" and with amoral decisions abound from the news media to the courtrooms to Corporate America, itself.

"As a former practicing attorney who found most lawyers despicable and willing to lie as part of the profession to win at any cost, I turned to the financial industry to help people build their retirements safely, but find it a challenge even here to remain truthful, honest and helpful in an industry where greed is pervasive and a business that encourages "the sale" rather than truly helping people.

"I read your Daily Affirmation and it helps a lot.

"God Bless You and may your simple but powerful and effective Manual for Operating As a Human Being reach the far corners of our civilization. The world needs it; people need it; politicians need it; greedy corporate leaders need it; parents need it; today's youth need it."

Coming Next Week

Hi, I would like to take this opportunity to briefly introduce myself and announce the coming of my new e-book sometime next week.  I'm giving it away for free as a gift to mankind.  You will know why once you read my book :-)

My unique mental training program has helped elite athletes to win Gold and Silver Medals in the Olympics.  I wrote an empowering book "The Mental Keys to Improve Your Golf" that has literally helped thousands of golfers to improve their mental games and lower their scores. FYI - In golf the lowest score wins :-)  Golfers are welcome to visit www.mentalkeys.com.

After numerous requests from non-golfers to write a book that applies to them, I wrote a book that will benefit all mankind.  My free e-book reveals simple, but profound insights that will help everyone that uses them to lead a fulfilled and happy life.  If enough individuals use them, it will help change our world for the better.

You are invited to visit my website www.howtobehappy.org and down load your FREE copy of my e-book "How to be Happy and Have Fun Changing the World".

Presently, my website is underconstruction and my e-book will be available within a week.  I'll put up a new post as soon as it's ready.

It's been my pleasure to meet you and I hope you enjoy my book,

Michael Anthony
