After releasing my new free “5 Steps To Joy” videos last week I found myself “stumbling” over the realization that I had taken my direct experience and reverse engineered a portion of my life…

The formula which I’ve broken down into easy to understand and implement “steps” are not some kind of theory or altruistic hopeful assumptions.

No, I paid a serious price of heartbreak and subsequent introspection to arrive at such a simple and obvious set of steps to shift yourself into extended periods of Joy.

You see, the process I lay out in the videos is the very same process you can unwittingly use to create fear, uncertainty and doubt in your life. Most of us do, to lessor or greater degrees without realizing what’s going on…

We often experience the result of that “process” as our lives seeming to stay the same.

Stuck in some kind of rut – or worse, as was my in may case – become my own worst enemy and bring darkness into my life…

And one day you crash. Your world falls apart around you.

Then you have to ask the hard questions:

Beginning with: “What if this was all my fault?”…

For me this past year and a half was all about facing that question. My transformation from blaming – to accepting full responsibility was painful and remarkably healing and unleashing at the same time.

The wonderful but emotionally costly realization was seeing how I had chosen to use “the process” to reinforce an outcome – I thought I didn’t want. Yet had to experience in order to finally shatter – a place of rationalization – which brought down the “life” I thought I really wanted…

Yes, I wanted it but I had not yet taken the incremental steps of self-growth necessary to sustain it – and continue to believe in it…

That was the lesson – I stopped believing – and started blaming.

I took a beautiful magical dream – and started doubting it. Because I failed to recognize the simple steps that bring joy could also bring darkness… And I didn’t pay attention to life’s most profound of all lesson’s:

Your life experience is always a matter of what you believe and expect.

Whether you are conscious of what you ultimately believe (which is measured in taking personal responsibility) or what you unconsciously believe – which can be measured in how much you blame everything and everybody for your day-to-day reality.

You see, the “process” is the same. The sequence, of the “recipe” never changes. Only the ingredients you choose – which determine the flavor of the cake – is a matter of your free will…

It can be a “cake of joy” or a “cake of unhappiness” – either way it’s always going to be some kind of cake… And that’s the stunning realization that made it possible for me to create the “5 Steps To Joy”…

So I humbly offer to you something I paid a price beyond any valuation imaginable to understand – finally – the profound power of of belief…
