One Wake-Up Call Unhappy People Refuse to Answer…Marc and Angel
Do you feel like something “needs to change” in your life?
If so, this might be the most important email you read today.
But first, I want to share a powerful story about an amazing woman…
Her name is Michelle. It’s been 10 years since she answered a “wake-up” call and began to radically, yet gradually, change her life.
In just a decade she has:
- Overcome a heartbreaking divorce
- Transformed her diet
- Paid off a substantial amount of debt
- Massively decluttered her physical and mental space
- Deepened her most important relationships
- Owned her imperfections
- Made incredible progress toward a big lifelong goal
- And took her life back
Maybe her story can be your wake-up call.
Michelle didn’t “plan” to make all of these changes. But here was the incredible discovery:
Each ONE change inspired and encouraged the next. Like dominos falling in line, the momentum carried through to help her make the other changes easier and faster.
So what was Michelle’s wake up call that later went on to transform her entire life?
A phone call from her neurologist’s office telling her that all the intense migrain headaches she was hopelessly battling were basically self-created. She was not effectively handling the stress in her life, and it was physically and mentally incapacitating her.
Michelle had other wake-up calls earlier on, but she was too busy and distracted to answer them.
As Elaine St. James so wisely said:
"One of the reasons we keep our lives so complicated is so we won’t have to listen to our inner voice telling us what we need to do to make our lives work better."
Can you relate to keeping yourself busy and distracted so you don’t have to listen to that inner voice?
If so, here’s the good news: once Michelle made a little time and space to hear her inner voice – to really listen – changing got easier, exciting even.
As her inner voice became easier to hear, she was able to gracefully let go of the things and people not meant for her and gain more clarity about what she really needed in her life.
Before then, she had basically forgotten that she had a choice.
And the funny part is that even though “letting go” was at the core of every powerful change she made, she didn’t realize this until she looked back years later.
Had she realized that eliminating distractions, reducing stress, and rejecting busyness is the fastest path to building a happy, beautiful, joyful life… it wouldn’t have taken a decade.
Whatever you decide, just remember that you are brave enough and strong enough to answer the call.
Life changes every day, and so can you. And the change you seek comes from hundreds of tiny steps (they all matter too).
You don’t have to have a perfect plan for the next 10 years either, or even the next 10 days. All you need is an open heart and the next step. Not all the steps, not a big step, just the next one.

3 Things You Do NOT Need to Be Happier in Life…..Marc and Angel
1. You do NOT need all the things. — In fact, they say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for. I don’t think anything could be closer to the truth, and yet all too often we find ways of complicating things for ourselves. We look for happiness where it does not exist – in shallow goals and desires – in possessions, quick thrills, and impressing the wrong people.
2. You do NOT need an easy fix. — You have to do hard things to be happy in life. The little things no one else is doing. The little things that frighten you. The little things others can’t do for you. The little things that make you question how much longer you can hold on and push forward. Because those are the things that define you. Those are the things that make the difference between existing and living – between knowing the path and walking the path – between a life of mediocrity and a life filled with happiness and success.
3. You do NOT need to be "better" than others. — The size of our universe shrinks dramatically when we place ourselves at the center – when we think everyone is our competition – when we think we have to be richer, smarter, and more attractive than the person sitting next to us. Such a goal just keeps a person alienated and tirelessly running in place. Now on the flip-side, take someone who doesn’t keep score, who’s not looking to be richer, or smarter, or more attractive, who has not the slightest interest even in being better than anyone else: she’s free. Bottom line: Compete only with yourself…
Is this email your wake up call?
How many times have you thought “this isn’t working” or “something is not right” or “things have to change”? — those thoughts and words are from your inner voice. It’s your wake-up call calling. You don’t need more stress or a major crisis to wake up. And no one needs to tell you because you already know. Your inner voice has been trying to tell you.
Getting your wake-up call is not the hard part, answering the call is. Choosing to answer the call instead of ignoring it is hard. Right now, it may feel easier to keep going, and going, and going gradually in the wrong direction. But you know if you don’t find a way out of the endless cycle you’re in, it’s going to get worse.
It’s time to listen to what your inner voice has been telling you…
The truth is, despite the real world challenges you face, the biggest and most complex obstacle you will ever have to personally overcome is your own mind and how often you resist your own better judgment. No, you aren’t responsible for everything that happens to you in life (the chaos around you), but you ARE responsible for undoing the self-defeating behavior patterns (the chaos within you) that these undesirable experiences create.
YES, YOU CAN THINK BETTER, which means you can tune that inner voice of yours and ultimately live better because of it.
