Lately, I’ve noticed something about myself: I’ve become susceptible to negativity. Everywhere you turn, in the news, on social media, and even in casual conversations, it feels like there’s an endless supply of bad news and grim outlooks. For someone like me, who thrives on positive energy and forward momentum, it’s been a real turn-off.

As I continue interviewing some incredible people for my upcoming (and hopefully epic) book, which will launch in late 2025, I’ve had the privilege of diving deep into the minds and habits of what I call the "2%." These are the individuals who think differently, live differently, and succeed differently from the majority. They are the builders, creators, and innovators of our world. And believe me when I say they don’t get bogged down by the negativity that floods our everyday lives.

Many of these individuals have asked for anonymity or have shared deeply personal stories, and out of respect, I will keep those private. However, I can tell you this: the 2% can stay unaffected by the negativity around them. They move through the world with a certain grace, a resilience that shields them from the noise.

Happiness starts with you. Not with your relationship, not with your job, not with your money, but with you in the Zone of Action.

Accept what is. Let go of what was. Have faith in what will be. Strive toward your vision for the future, and keep that fire burning in your heart. But never let your ambition eclipse the beauty of the present. Celebrate every milestone, no matter how small, and cultivate gratitude for each blessing that graces your path. Doing so transforms your journey into something more than a race to the finish line. It becomes a continuous unfolding of wonder, learning, and self-discovery.

You don’t have to wait for the culmination of everything you’re working toward to feel the sweetness of success. Start recognizing and savoring those small wins right now. Let your life be a testament to resilience, optimism, and gratitude. After all, the journey is every bit as significant as the destination.

Happiness starts with you. Not with your relationship, not with your job, not with your money, but with you in the Zone of Action.

Remember that you are responsible for your future. No one else can force you to set specific goals, educate yourself, develop healthy habits, or network effectively. No one else can decide what version of success you will chase. We can all blame outside factors, but fundamental transformation happens when we acknowledge our control over our destiny.

When you align your goals with specific targets, commit to lifelong learning, surround yourself with positive influences, maintain discipline, manage your finances wisely, and take care of your body and mind, you begin to reflect the habits of the truly wealthy. That’s when you’ll experience a shift in how you approach each new opportunity or challenge.
