OK, the title sounds a little bit like a well-known song - but so what, the world's a different place, you're a different person, when you want for nothing.

And, truth is, when you're "in the zone", you do want for nothing, you don't have a care in the world, all is well.

What a different world we'd live in if enough of us were in that state of mind because state of mind it is.

This episode explores, using Online Program Owners' personal experiences as evidence, how life changes, transforms beyond recognition, when we develop our ability to choose the state of mind that creates peace of mind, presence and freedom from desire.

And, whilst this episode starts by asking you "What do you want?", we're going way beyond want and need in this exploration of how a mind-without-want will allow all that is best simply flow into your life.

That's the world of difference we're talking about.

Being anywhere other than here and now means that you're missing your life.

Thinking that you need to go back to the past to figure out how you've got to where you are or who you are (or could be) is, therefore, a waste of your time.

Or much, much worse - revisiting the past amounts to reliving the past and enabling your past weigh more heavily on your present.

The past is a foreign country and you do not want to go there.

So is the future! People think that they need to plan the future. But planning involves thinking and thinking inevitably leads to an idea of the future that will fall far short of what it might be were you to simply turn up to the here and now.

We create our lives in the moment. If we're thinking, we create a shabby version and put up with it, when, of course, we shouldn't.

We create our lives in the moment. If we're present - and, as a result, not thinking, we experience peace of mind and the ability to just do the right thing and we create a platform for the nows to come, starting with the next one.

If you want to live your life to the full, turn up to now.

This is an episode full of practical tips - quick tips that you can start putting into practice today - that will enable you immediately experience happiness, peace of mind and what one of my Online Program Owners calls "Deep Joy".

I present you with a choice: do you want to be happy or would you prefer worry, anxiety and stress? Do you want to live your life properly, like you mean it, in the moment or do you want to be buried in the world of thought?

No brainers! Or, as we explore, you need to use parts of the brain that nature (evolution) didn't intend that you use!!!!

Enough of that - there are four or five really practical tips in this episode and, perhaps, one tip to which I allude but which we will need to come back to... it relates to whether or not you need goals and objectives. Now... there's a thought!

Or, more importantly, the things that we can do for ourselves!

In this episode, by way of introduction, we explore the madness of the normal human condition, as a result of which, we impede ourselves, constrain ourselves, belittle ourselves and, indeed, do ourselves actual physical harm.

But, if you're the problem, you are also the solution. Or, to put it another way, if your thoughts are the problem, stop paying them attention. As simple as that.

Yes, the things that we can do for ourselves are far easier - to the point of effortless - far simpler and far more effective than all the stuff that we automatically and habitually do to ourselves.

In this episode, you learn how to do the best for you.

One more thing. I mention a short YouTube video in this episode - how to get a good night's sleep (which is very important for your short-, medium- and long-term wellbeing) - here's that link:

What? You don't have an everyday life?

That's right and that's what this episode explores.

Nothing is as it seems to the thinking mind: from anger to stress, to jealousy to, well the very reality of the here and now.

As a result, we're normally caught in a reactionary loop where things go from bad to worse and "not so bad" is about as good as it gets.

Until you stop reacting. Yes, that is what this episode is about.

So, what strategies do you need to adopt? Short answer... none.

You just need to (re)develop your ability to turn up to the here and now. Once you turn up for real, everything changes.

And the wonderful thing is that you'll discover results immediately, in the most unlikely of places.

You'll learn exactly how to set your mind to achieve your goals, objectives, dreams and "perfect moments" in this episode.

And, once your mind is set, what you have to do to get there becomes effortless.

As you'll discover, you don't need to know what you need to do, it will become obvious what's best to do as you effortlessly dance through each day, like a ballerina, without putting a foot wrong.

The whole process rests on your expectations and, in this episode, we explain exactly what expectation actually is... and how to give yourself new expectations, great expectations.

And, I should mention, because so many people asked me to talk about it, one of those expectations might be that you lose weight... we talk about that too - but not as much as you might expect!!

Well now, in Episode #213 we explore the essence of life, the essence of living life to the full.

We explore peace of mind and what I describe as "the flat calm of being", of not having a care in the world.

And, as you'll discover, it's all about perspective or, perhaps, not having one - now there's a thought!

Which leads us back into the world of thought - the world of not being, the world that only exists in the warped minds of those lost in thought... most of us.

So, we talk about the experience of being - it's all about experience. Yes, we could have the support of all the science in the world (and we have) to confirm how the world really works but, ultimately, it all boils down to you experiencing it.

And the experience is, in essence, the joy of being in just this moment.

How to do it? Well, you're going to have to listen to the episode, aren't you!

Has it taken me until Episode 212 to explain the step-by-step actions and benefits of meditation?

Well, you'll have to listen to really find out but...

This episode explains the science of meditation - forget the spiritual or religious, we're talking hard science. And we're talking about the impact that an understanding of the hard science has on your understanding and experience of meditation and, more importantly, the very real an powerful impact meditation will have in the cut and thrust of your everyday life - very quickly.

We're talking weeks.

If there is anything in your life that you don't like - and everyone has, at least, a short list of things that they'd like to change - then meditation is going to provide you with the neurological structure and practical ability to allow those changes happen, allow your perceived dislikes to vanish - just as meditation will allow your self-defeating or negative thoughts to vanish.

This episode gives you the big why - once we know why we're doing anything, whatever it is that we have to do becomes all the easier and more effective.

This Episode 212 is a must if you want to change your life or any aspect of it.
