Success and Happiness Start with Your Thoughts... It's Time to Change the Way You Think! We all probably recall some version of Proverbs 23:7 So as one thinks, so he/she is... And Best-selling author Andrew Matthews takes us on a journey to demonstrate it, through research and common sense. The fact is we choose our thoughts, and what we dwell on (even unintentionally) we will gravitate toward. And that will affect both your success and happiness. Have you ever felt stuck, like no matter what you do, true success and happiness always seem just out of reach? What if the key to unlocking everything you desire isn’t in what you do—but in how you think? Join us on A New Direction, as we welcome Andrew Walters, author of Being Happy! A Handbook to Greater Confidence & Security. This episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about success, security, and personal fulfillment! In his best-selling book, Andrew reveals how our thoughts don’t just influence our emotions—they create our reality. When we shift our mindset, we don’t just find happiness—we unlock success in every area of life. The way we think determines what we attract, how we handle challenges, and ultimately, the opportunities that come our way. If you’ve ever doubted your potential or struggled to break free from negativity, this conversation will give you the practical tools and mental shifts needed to take control of your happiness, confidence, and success. This isn’t just another feel-good talk—it’s a wake-up call for anyone ready to stop surviving and start thriving. If you’re tired of watching others achieve the success you crave, it’s time to rewire your mind and take control of your future. Tune in and discover how to shift your mindset for happiness, confidence, and the success you truly deserve! Andrew Matthews' Updated best-selling book, "Being Happy! A Handbook to Grater Confidence & Security, is a real winner. There may be many of you are skeptics that your thinking has anything to do with your success.  My suggestion...think again. We all know if you think negatively, then what you do is you see your world negatively.  You focus on the negative things happening in your life.  But change your thinking to a positive attitude, your world looks different.  Do bad things still happen?  Of course they do, but when you change your thinking, they are not bad or good, they just are. This is where Andrew Matthew's "Being Happy!" really shines.  Has done the research.  He has done his own investigative research.  He has read countless books on the subject and still comes back to the conclusion, if you want to be successful and happy in life...it starts with what you are telling yourself in your brain. As a former skeptic of this idea, "Being Happy!" has only removed any skepticism that is left.  The fact is our behavior is shaped by our thought.  It's just a fact. What we focus on tends to gravitate to us.  And while all the "science" (whatever that really means) is not all crystal clear.  Why not be at least open to the idea that this can change you. All that said, the backdrop of this book is you can't just try what Andrew Matthews' is saying, like trying on a pair of blue jeans to see if they fit.   No, you must make the commitment, put in the effort, be resilient, and really stick to it. After all you have habits.  We all do.  We also have thinking habits.  We all do.  You want to improve your life? It's time to change them! Click here to get your copy of "Being Happy!"
