“If I could only figure this out, I think I could find
happiness.” That was the comment a close friend made during
a recent conversation. This is not the first time, nor will
it be the last that I hear this statement.

Many people believe that finding happiness is based on
finding something else they want. In my experience as a
personal coach, no one has ever found long term happiness
by achieving another goal. Ultimately, to find happiness is
to look within.

After the Quantum Leap event (one of my 3 day programs) in Las Vegas some time ago, I was asked about the tragic shooting at the Amish schoolhouse. I’m glad it was asked because I saw a very important principle put into action by the Amish community…

The next day after the shooting, the Amish community of Lancaster County told the killer’s family that they forgave him for what he’d done.

That’s right. They forgave him…You may be thinking “But James, how could they?” Well, here’s the deal… You don’t forgive for the other person. You forgive for yourself. Now I’ll ask you, “How could they not forgive him?”
