There is No Key to Happiness, The Door is Always Open

by Marc Gohres

I found

There is No Key to Happiness, The Door is Always Open to be a very helpful and informative book.

Don't be fooled by its small size, the lessons taught in this book are huge and powerful life lessons. This book has been helpful to me and will be to anyone who seeks to find peace within themselves. Marc Gohres writes clearly and in an easy to understand and put into practice format.

There is No Key to Happiness, The Door is Always Open is a keeper! Full of wisdom and insight, this book has motivated me to take control of my thoughts and my life. One of my favorite lessons in this book is the advice to learn to look at things from a different perspective. I am able to always find a positive spin in any situation that I focus on. Instead of seeing the glass as half empty I can change my perspective and now see the glass as half full. The more I practice doing this the easier it will become.

My thoughts affect my attitude and my attitude is what influences my mood. My focus needs to be on what I am grateful for and for what is good around me. Negative thoughts are bad energy. Good energies are strong and always defeat the negative -just as sunlight will always eliminate the darkness. Insults are a very low level energy that will bring back a like response. Constantly reinforcing positive things will attract more positive things into my life. My mind can be my best friend or it can be my worst enemy. It's important to make the decision to enjoy myself in whatever I am doing at the moment and to never accept

failure as an option.

There are no problems, only solutions. Lessons learned that have just made me stronger. There is no such thing as failure, only a lesson learned. A problem is simply something to be solved. The more I focus on what I can control (such as choices), the more control I have. When I live my life without feeling the need to "please" others, then I have achieved self-love and acceptance. What freedom! Regardless of what someone else's opinion of me is, I know who I am, therefore, their opinion does not concern me. If there is a problem, the problem is theirs, not mine. I have accepted me.

These are just a few of the simple and powerful tools Marc Gohres shares in his book

There is No Key to Happiness, The Door is Always Open. This book is a real treasure! I highly recommend it for anyone who seeks self-improvement and freedom from "people pleasing."

Marc Gohres' book, "There is No Key to Happiness, the Door is Always Open," presents a series of fifteen lessons about how to capture positive energy within your life. In another book, they would be the keys to a happy life. But, as Gohres' title points out, there are no keys; you just have to open the door.

Gohres writes from a place of contentment in his life, he has passed through a painfully difficult period and come out realizing he is responsible for his own happiness and what lessons he has learned, he wants to share with his readers. Interestingly enough, the lessons in his book are not something new – they are not overwhelmingly profound or different from anything else we have heard in some form before. The book is short. And while it could probably be shorter still, it covers fifteen lessons about:

thoughts, words, loving yourself, letting the past go, following your dreams, approaching problems by focusing their solutions, risk taking, mediation, the destructive power of resentment, avoiding presumption, the importance of not judging, that it is all about you, to reach for the stars, the good of life and the importance of setting your goals.

His lessons are not only the lessons of building a life for happiness, but also the lessons of what is universally considered a "good life." And when you need a reminder of some of the lessons on being a good person, "There is No Key to Happiness, the Door is Always Open" does the trick!

Excerpt from "There Is No Key to Happiness, The Door Is Always Open"

When I do the best I can, I am going to be proud of myself. I am going to radiate that pride to my friends, family and colleges. ... I am taking control of my life and demanding results. It also means I am striving to achieve my personal best because I have experienced for myself the confidence, self- love and respect that it produces.

I then find myself striving to achieve my best because I have discovered what it brings out in me. And it feels fantastic. I no longer strive for excellence because of a reward, I strive for excellence because I am full of pride and have come to understand that you can only keep what you give away.
