Find Your “Happy Place” For New Year's Success! By Hans KleinYou may call me crazy. but it's true.
When I recently saw one of my favorite movies, “Happy Gilmore” staring Adam Sandler, I realized that this movie has an extremely important success principle that you should know about to achieve success in
new year.
Let me explain:
In
movie,
main character, Happy, can't find a stable job and can't seem to make his dream of playing hockey come true.
...And after Happy fails to make
hockey team for
11th time, his girlfriend gets fed up and leaves him...in other words, his life seems like a complete failure.
Then his life turns around when he makes a very important promise to his Grandmother and himself that he will get her house back from
government, which may be auctioned off unless Happy comes up with $270,000 in 90 days.
So, what does this have to do with success?
You see, soon after he made that promise to his grandmother, he realized that he had an amazing talent to drive a golf ball, which he developed as a hockey player.
...And by stating his desire to make enough money to get his grandmother's house back, new solutions began to appear that would have otherwise gone by unnoticed.
Do you have any hidden opportunities around you? You'll only find them if you make it known to yourself and to others what you are looking for.
Once Happy becomes a professional golfer and starts taking home big checks,
antagonist 'Shooter McGavin' hires a man to intimidate Happy while he is golfing, so he will not win
championship.
This strategy of intimidation takes its toll on Happy, and Happy's game falls apart because his mind becomes clouded with self-doubt and intense irritation.
