When I was 15 years old, my cousin died in a road accident. And it this had a massive impact on my life. And this led me to start questioning everything. I wanted to know what life was about why we're here and what we should be doing while we're here. And for several decades, for almost 40 years, I studied the scientific evidence for life after death in great depth. Now, I'm a born skeptic, I'm very scientifically minded.

And in this area, there is a lot of BS, a lot of trash, a lot of confusion, but amongst MK there's also nuggets of gold. And during my studies and research into this fascinating topic, I found lots of irrefutable evidence and there has been lots of scientific research done into the evidence for life after death in quite recent years, and their findings have been astounding. And back in 2002, I appeared on radio and TV many, many, many times, almost 100 times, sharing this evidence. There's scientific evidence predominantly for life after death. And although this program is definitely not about life after death, I can assure you that if you research this subject for yourself and dig really deep and skeptically sifting through all the trash that's out there, you will definitely find nuggets of irrefutable evidence that will show you that life does indeed continue after physical death.

Also, what we do during our life and how we live our life really is very important. When you know this for certain, then it can affect everything that you do from this point forward. And by studying the evidence for life after death, it's highly likely that you will also discover your own unique purpose in life. We all have different talents, abilities, interests and desires and we can all contribute something different to the world around us. However, my own research for the past 40 years has led me to conclude that the purpose of life is to learn through experience, and to help others in any way that we can. I think this is a universal truth is the purpose of all human life to grow, and help others grow in any way that we can.

And when we really are learning from our experiences and growing and becoming wiser, and more compassionate human beings, while at the same time assisting others in their own unique path, than we are truly fulfilling our mission as a human being. So becoming aware of your true purpose and taking action, to carry it through will lead to deep fulfillment in your life. And this leads us on to happiness and how to develop a life that's really happy. unfulfilled. And this is extremely important. Becoming happy is actually the most important thing we can achieve during our life.

And becoming happy is not something that comes about by chance. Even though most people don't understand this becoming happy is something that we have total control over. But there are really two kinds of happiness, superficial happiness, and true happiness. So let's look at the first of these. superficial happiness is what most people understand as happiness, but it's very unstable and can change in a moment. And superficial happiness is the sort of happiness we experience when something wonderful happens to us.

It's very dependent on something great happening, and we don't have much control over it. Also, the truth is, it's very often short lived, even though it's very pleasant. Now one example of this might be when we become Financially wealthy are truly successful. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that wealth and success are not important for happiness. Everything that contributes to your well being your freedom and your ability to do what you want to is really important.

But what I'm saying here is that there have been innumerable cases of people becoming incredibly wealthy, deeply successful, but who inside feel miserable and desolate. So, superficial happiness is based on external circumstances, which can and do change over time, and often in an instant. On the other hand, true success and true happiness only comes to those who take full responsibility for their lives. Also, becoming deeply happy and fulfilled is not reliant on external circumstances or things that we have Don't have in our lives right now. Deep happiness comes from our way of life. It comes from having a strong purpose in life.

True happiness is something that every single one of us can achieve, providing we make the effort to do so. It's not something that we automatically possess it takes consistent action and doing the right things to grow this state of happiness within us. true happiness is something we create for ourselves, if we choose to do so, if we choose to do so, just like we explored earlier, when we give to others more than they expect, then it is us that benefit the most. Likewise, when you start to make the effort to support those around you more fully than before you plant the seeds in your own life, to long term happiness. It's not possible to be happy in a vacuum. Human beings need each other and we need to support each other.

It's a basic human desire. Developing an outward looking attitude and contributing to those around us in any way that we can, will always have a very powerful long term effect on our own happiness levels, especially when we are helping people who are having a rough time, a really rough time, taking the time to support them, encourage them and hopefully empower them, then this has an immediate effect on our own mind. So when you get into the habit of helping those around you more than you did before then it enables you to tap into a reservoir of wisdom that lies within your own life. When life is difficult for you, that is the very time you need to take action for the happiness of others. And when you do this, amazingly, it jump starts your inner wisdom and allows you to Access solutions to your own problems a lot more effectively.

It also enhances your consciousness in a way that may truly surprise you. I believe that it's also really important to gradually develop a much bigger picture for our lives. When we are living our lives contributing to something that is far bigger than just ourselves, then this can be the source of deep fulfillment and true happiness. So by developing a very big vision for your life, and what you leave behind for others, after you die, it's actually really important. So I would urge you to deeply consider what it is you want as your ultimate purpose, your very reason for living, what is it that you want to work towards that can continue to help many people after you are gone. Now I do realize that for many people who are just starting out This may seem a very lofty and far off goal.

But if you put into practice what you've learned in this program, then you will start to see really amazing results in your life you can then go on to create even bigger goals for your life, having the full confidence that you really can achieve amazing things. And gradually, as you increase your realm of possibility, and as your confidence and your success grows, then you will definitely benefit from attaching all that you do to an even bigger purpose that is bigger than yourself. Ultimately, most highly successful people reach the point where they wish to give back to society in a powerful way. And your long term happiness and fulfillment is directly linked to you having such a long term goal and purpose in your life. So please do take time to consider this. And when you're ready, add that purpose to your goals, affirmations and your action list.

Now, the last thing I'd like to say about happiness, and this is really, really important is that becoming happy is a choice you need to make. It's a choice. It's possible for some people to be totally blown away and deeply upset for days on end, simply because someone has said something to them that appeared hurtful. The truth is that we all wear tinted glasses and we perceive everything that happens to us, according to our past experiences with of hurt our past experiences of loss and deep conditioning. And two people can often perceive the very same event in totally different ways. So we all have perceptions that are faulty or inaccurate.

Also, we have an amazing ability To choose how we react, how we feel and what we do. After all, everything is a choice. We either choose to remain stuck, or we choose to change, we choose to remain unhappy, or we choose to do something to change it. Now, I'm not talking about positive thinking here. I'm not talking about that at all. What I'm saying is that whether you experience happiness or disappointment as your dominant condition is your choice in your choice alone.

You have the choice right here and right now, to change your life in truly amazing ways, ways that could bring you everything that you could ever wish work. Or you can choose to continue doing things the way you've always done them. Which you choose, will determine whether you become deeply happy, highly successful, wealthy, healthy, wise, compassionate. role model for others, or you could remain at your current level for as long as you wish. Which are you going to choose?
