Hunger is what separates the strong from the weak and without hunger you CAN NOT achieve anything at a high level.

This is something which I used to struggle with a lot, but once I finally got over it my life changed. Largely, due to my appearance I started to really take to heart everything that people say about me. It hurt to think that other people didn't like me even though they didn't know anything about me. It took me a while to understand and get to grips with accepting whatever they would say and stop it from having any influence on how I feel. However, getting to this point was a major key for me to start to feel happier with who I was as a person. This self-confidence and self-love is something that we all need if we want to be happy and successful in life and that's why I urge everyone to really take this advice to heart.

Introduction What’s the purpose of life? Deep question, right? In this episode, I go into depth of why happiness is what we should be aiming for and NOT money, success or fame. Happiness is what drives me. I love who I am and what I’m doing, as a direct result of this I’m very happy and feel deeply fulfilled. I want to share this happiness with you and break it down step by step on how I got to this point in my life. We all have a lot to learn, learning about happiness is probably the useful and forgotten topic. I don’t want you to get to 50 years old and have a huge midlife crisis, I want you sort out your happiness today so you can also live a fulfilled life. “Happiness is an inside job” For more info check out: www.gurupmasingh.com
