🔔 THE HAPPINESS LIE 🔔

After 30 years of chasing success, fame, and the perfect body, I discovered the truth about happiness that no one talks about. In this video, I share the profound realization that transformed my life and could save you years of unnecessary suffering.

This isn't another "be grateful" video - it's about the fundamental truth of human nature that could change everything for you.

what if I told you that the thing that
0:01
you're desperately chasing the perfect
0:04
body Fame success more money isn't
0:07
actually what you want I have spent 30
0:10
years figuring this out and I'm going to
0:12
save you Decades of time frustration and
0:14
suffering in the next 10 minutes we all
0:17
do this we all tell ourselves I'll be
0:19
happy when I'll be happy when I lose
0:22
weight I'll be happy when I get the
0:23
promotion I'll be happy when I have a
0:25
partner I'll finally be respected when
0:27
I'm successful but here's the truth I
0:29
wish I had have known earlier hi I'm
0:31
Maggie welcome to my channel so this is
0:34
embarrassing to admit but I used to want
0:36
to be famous like I really wanted it
0:38
ever since I was 12 and I had my first
0:40
role in the school play I got attention
0:43
I got accolades and I thought this is
0:45
pretty good I want this and like many
0:48
many actors it came from a deep place of
0:50
unworthiness know like a lot of kids I
0:53
felt overlooked not seen not special and
0:56
so acting gave me that moment of
0:59
attention that moment to shine it was
1:01
something that people said that I was
1:03
good at so I thought to myself in my
1:05
little child brain if I get famous then
1:08
everyone will like me then life will
1:10
work out then I'll be happy I chased
1:12
that dream for years the auditions the
1:15
rejections the small winds always
1:17
thinking the next role would be the one
1:19
that made me feel complete but here's
1:22
what I've learned I'm worthy right now
1:25
and you're worthy right now we're worthy
1:27
because we exist we've all heard the
1:29
Stories the gym carries of the world who
1:31
say that once they became famous they
1:34
felt empty and hollow inside why because
1:37
they chasing the wrong thing they
1:39
weren't actually seeking fame they were
1:41
seeking love validation and acceptance
1:45
things that they could have given
1:46
themselves all along things that I could
1:48
have given myself all along another
1:50
example from my life is that I thought
1:52
that no one would love me unless I was
1:54
thin any relationship that didn't work
1:56
out I would think it was because I
1:57
wasn't thin enough or pretty enough this
2:00
belief controlled every facet of my life
2:03
I was absolutely obsessed with it and
2:05
guess what I did get thin and I did find
2:08
love and now I'm 7 years into that
2:10
relationship with my dream partner who
2:13
was literally everything I've ever
2:14
wanted and as you do when you're in
2:17
relationships sometimes you let yourself
2:18
go a little bit and I gained some weight
2:20
and it still was an obsession in this
2:22
relationship even though I had love do
2:25
have love right now but I had this
2:27
realization what I really wanted wasn't
2:29
the perfect body or the perfect
2:31
relationship what I wanted was my own
2:35
love to feel love for myself to approve
2:38
of myself to deeply accept myself as I
2:41
am no matter what I weigh no matter what
2:44
I look like to be okay no matter what
2:47
and I could have given myself that a
2:49
long time ago as well think about it how
2:53
many times have you chased a goal
2:55
achieved the goal and then felt happy
2:58
for a minute or two
3:01
and then you're on to the next goal then
3:03
you felt that dissatisfaction that itch
3:05
that urge to achieve something else you
3:07
know I work with the elderly I'm a
3:09
podiatrist and most of my patients are
3:11
over 70 a lot of them well over 80 over
3:14
90 and I've even got some over 100 and
3:16
I've been doing this job for over 20
3:18
years and let me tell you that gives you
3:20
a whole new perspective on life I know
3:23
what it looks like to age well I know
3:25
what it looks like to age poorly and I'm
3:26
not talking about looks I'm talking
3:28
about mobility and health I have
3:30
patients in Housing Commission Flats I
3:33
have patients that are in multi-million
3:35
dollar homes overlooking the beach I've
3:37
got patients who spend all of their
3:39
money on lottery tickets and when I ask
3:41
them what are you going to do if you win
3:43
they say what do I need all that money
3:45
for I would just give it to my family so
3:47
they're spending all their pension money
3:49
all their spare money even in this cost
3:51
of living crisis on lottery tickets for
3:55
a dream that they're not even going to
3:57
enjoy because they feel too old to enjoy
4:00
life however I also have some patients
4:03
who are amazing they're so curious they
4:06
got a sparkle in their eye they're so
4:09
fun to be around they got a great sense
4:11
of humor they'll say I look in the
4:13
mirror I don't recognize that old lady
4:15
so I just keep walking you know they
4:18
never stop growing they've got purpose
4:21
whether it's gardening or traveling some
4:24
of them are doing crazy things like I
4:26
had this patient who's like 85 or
4:29
something and she jump jumped out of a
4:30
plane these patients are so inspiring
4:33
there's really something about them they
4:35
tend to be really joyful and really
4:38
content and really accepting and I think
4:41
these patients whether consciously or
4:43
unconsciously they understand something
4:45
crucial and that is we're either
4:47
evolving or devolving but we're never
4:50
staying the same if you're not growing
4:52
and learning and experiencing you are
4:54
dying you're getting smaller your world
4:57
is getting smaller you're stunted no one
4:59
is going to stay the same I had a
5:01
patient the other day who was
5:03
complaining to me about her wrinkles and
5:06
she was
5:07
92 complaining about her wrinkles
5:10
because her 7-year-old daughter-in-law
5:13
has lovely skin and she was envious of
5:16
that skin and wanting to get the $12
5:18
skin care product moisturizer that her
5:20
daughter-in-law has and I'm like you're
5:23
92 I have so many patients who will say
5:27
how old do you think I am this obsession
5:30
with what we look like externally
5:33
doesn't stop unless you choose to stop
5:35
it you want to know what true freedom
5:37
feels like it's when something that used
5:40
to scare you doesn't scare you anymore
5:43
when you can speak in front of people
5:45
without your heart racing when people
5:48
who used to bother you who maybe were
5:49
mean to you or cruel to you when their
5:51
words don't affect you anymore when you
5:53
don't care what people think when you've
5:56
had wounds and triggers that used to
5:58
just set you off when it's like like
5:59
water off a duck's back that's true
6:02
Freedom when you can look in the mirror
6:05
and see your aging face and completely
6:08
accept yourself and love yourself when
6:10
you can look at your middle-aged body
6:12
and go yes my body is changing but I
6:14
still love it when you can walk into a
6:17
party and not be thinking what will
6:19
people think of me but be thinking I'm
6:22
curious who's here who can I meet what
6:24
can I learn today that's what real
6:27
confidence looks like not the fake kind
6:30
when you're seeking validation where
6:31
you're putting photos of yourself on
6:33
Instagram to make it look like you have
6:35
a wonderful life real confidence is when
6:38
external things don't get to you anymore
6:40
where you're not walking around getting
6:42
offended taking things personally or
6:44
being triggered by people no one has
6:47
that power over you I used to
6:49
desperately want to pay off my mortgage
6:51
I still do of course I want to pay off
6:53
my mortgage but I used to think I
6:55
wouldn't feel safe until I paid off my
6:57
mortgage which is 25 years
7:00
and then someone said to me imagine
7:03
having paid off your mortgage and then
7:05
think about finances what comes up for
7:07
you and I'm like oh well I've got to pay
7:09
the rates and I've got to pay the bills
7:11
and I've got to pay the XY Z and what if
7:13
this and what if that and then it became
7:15
very clear to me that my fear was around
7:18
scarcity of there not being enough of
7:20
not being safe but I can give myself
7:22
that feeling of Safety and Security
7:24
right now by trusting that it's a
7:26
benevolent Universe trusting that things
7:29
always work out for me by reframing the
7:32
negative into the positive I'm
7:34
bastardizing this but I think Einstein
7:36
said you need to decide if this universe
7:38
is friendly or not and for a long time I
7:41
thought the universe was not friendly
7:43
but now I truly believe that she is
7:45
benevolent she is always pushing you and
7:48
helping you to grow and to give you the
7:50
things that you say that you want
7:52
however that looks like it may not be
7:53
how you think it should look but that's
7:55
what she's doing I had an experience
7:57
recently with my YouTube channel which I
7:59
really really want to grow I love it so
8:02
much I genuinely love YouTube so now's
8:05
probably a good time to ask you to like
8:06
And subscribe and maybe comment if
8:07
you're enjoying this video but yes
8:09
recently I released a video and it did
8:11
really well it's at 33,000 views which
8:14
is huge for me very very exciting it's
8:17
what I always wanted and then something
8:19
interesting happened fear began to creep
8:21
in a little bit I started to get a
8:24
little worried about the next video what
8:26
if it doesn't do so well what if it was
8:28
a one wonder what if I can't replicate
8:31
that success I had forgotten the whole
8:33
point the whole point is to grow is to
8:37
serve is to evolve it's to add value to
8:40
people through my videos it's not to go
8:42
viral of course I would love my videos
8:44
to do well but keeping it in perspective
8:47
what is the point the point is to make
8:49
videos that help touch move and inspire
8:52
people to help them lead a compassionate
8:54
life a joyful life offering the
8:57
knowledge and wisdom that I've gained
8:58
over my 48 years everyone has something
9:01
to offer everyone has life experience
9:03
there's always something to offer so the
9:06
journey is the destination a lot of
9:09
people say it's not the journey it's the
9:11
destination but a wise teacher of mine
9:13
said the journey is the destination this
9:16
is it this is it not when I get 100,000
9:20
subscribers or not when you know you're
9:23
thin or you're rich or whatever the
9:26
journey is the destination the Joy isn't
9:29
reaching the goal it's the process of
9:31
getting there it's all the little wins
9:33
and victories and struggles along the
9:36
way it's the hero's journey it's when
9:38
you're you take your first step and
9:40
you've got your backpack and then you
9:43
you travel along and there's dragons you
9:44
got to slay and then there's things you
9:46
got to overcome obstacles scary forests
9:51
old man with a crystal ball all these
9:54
things that is the hero's journey and
9:56
that is life the journey is the
9:58
destination
10:00
it's not getting to the peak of the
10:01
mountain although that is nice once
10:03
you're there then there's another
10:04
mountain and then there's another
10:06
mountain and then there's another
10:07
Mountain thank God there's another
10:09
Mountain so here's what it took me 30
10:11
years to understand you can have
10:14
everything you want right now because
10:17
everything you think you want is because
10:20
it's going to give you a feeling it's
10:23
going to give you a feeling of being
10:24
loved accepted validated enough approved
10:27
of all the things you're actually
10:30
searching for that feeling and you can
10:31
give yourself that feeling right here
10:34
right now you want to feel worthy give
10:37
yourself permission to feel worthy right
10:39
now and you're so worthy you're so
10:41
worthy you're worthy because you exist
10:43
you're an aspect of God you want to feel
10:46
safe now then choose to feel safe now
10:49
choose to believe that you live in a
10:51
safe benevolent universe that loves you
10:54
you want to feel loved now don't wait
10:56
till you meet that partner love yourself
10:59
now make the choice to love yourself now
11:01
develop a relationship with yourself
11:03
right now we're meant to grow we're
11:05
meant to evolve We're Meant To Dream Big
11:07
Dreams but not because those dreams will
11:10
make us happy it's because the process
11:13
of growing itself is what brings
11:15
fulfillment look at your own life what
11:18
are you waiting for what is the thing
11:21
that you think will make you feel
11:23
complete or whole or happy or content
11:26
and give that to yourself right now the
11:29
choice is yours are you going to wait
11:31
till someday to Feel Complete life is
11:33
not about meeting some magical
11:35
destination it's about growing until we
11:38
take our last breath it's about evolving
11:41
and trying things out and being the best
11:43
we can be you know every time we try
11:46
something new we step out of our comfort
11:48
zone new doors open new opportunities
11:51
appear it is amazing what can happen
11:54
when you get into your discomfort Zone
11:57
it really is a hero's journey I so
11:59
excited by life every year that I look
12:02
back on the last year and think oh God
12:04
that wasn't a good look oh how
12:06
embarrassing that's a good thing that
12:08
shows that I'm now in a position where I
12:11
can do better than I did then and I hope
12:13
to live that way for the rest of my life
12:15
thank you so much for watching much love
12:18
see you in the next video
