Frank Yan of Sacramento on Achieving Happiness

For a start, Frank questions. It is really possible to divide every kind of happiness and suffering into two main categories: mental and physical? Of the two, it is the mind that exerts the greatest influence on most of us. Nevertheless, we are either gravely deprived or ill of basic necessities, that our physical condition plays a secondary role in our life. If the body is in the state of content, we virtually ignore it. The mind, however, registers every moments of an event, no matter how small or how bigl. Hence, we should all devote our most serious efforts to bringing about mental peace in Sacramento or anywhere we are.

From Frank’s own limited and gained experience, he has found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion from within. The more and more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well-being becomes. Cultivating a close, warm-hearted feeling for others automatically puts our mind at ease, as Frank Yan will say. This helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we ever encounter. It is the ultimate source of success in life.


As long as we live in Sacramento or anywhere in this world we are bound to encounter problems. This is natural, problems will come and problems disappear. If, at any time we lose hope, become discouraged, we begin to diminish our ability to face our own difficulties we face. If, on the other hand, we remember that it is not just ourselves but every one who has to undergo the suffering, this more realistic perspective it will increase our determination and capacity to overcome the troubles. Indeed, with this attitude, each and every new obstacle can be seen as yet another valuable opportunity to improve our minds.


Thus we can strive gradually to become more compassionate, that is we can develop both genuine sympathy for others suffering and this will to help remove their pain. As a result, our own serenity and inner strength will increase. Frank Yan sees happiness wherever he is. Whether in his home in Sacramento or deep far beyond across globe.

Frank Yan of Sacramento on Creating Your Own Luck

Have you known people who seem to have been born lucky? Sacramento local, Frank Yan says, if you look close enough, you’ll see that most of them follow some simple guidelines that actually create the luck.

If you have a“secret recipe” for luck then you can create a full fountain of good luck in your own life. Remember, that practice makes perfect, so don’t ever give up. These methods do work at helping to create luck you want.

Letting Go of the Fear

We as humans do fear change, because we don’t know what will happen if we took that next step to change. Even if our lives isn’t’t where we’d like it to be, at least we know where it is. When we do open ourselves up to change it can get pretty challenging or even scary. Sure, we would know what we’d like to happen, we try to focus on being more positive, but still we hold on to the edge of that mountain for fear that we’ll fall rather than continue to climb. Practicing to taking small risks and making small changes so that you grow comfortable with it. Once you have stretched yourself far beyond your current comfort zone, you’ll never ever go back. You’ll soon look on your old side of life and wonder why you were so afraid to leave it behind.

Getting Out of Your Own Way

This is true. You yourself may be getting in your own way. This will happen when we try way too hard or focus on the negative in our lives and not the positive. Like a silent mantra we will repeat over and over and over again. And all of the things we don’t want and all the negativity in our lives, are completely oblivious to all of the good things. Most everyone has some positive things going on in their lives. Instead, we are unconsciously setting up negative barriers all around us that are so wide and tall that opportunity couldn’t’t possibly find its way to us. We need to focus on more of the positive so the God can send more of it. We all need to move forward with confidence rather than yearning for complete control. We should all need to believe and have faith that things will happen as they should for your own highest good. Count your blessings and they will multiply.

Keeping Your Goals More Flexible

When we all have preconceived notions of how we think should work out, we end up closing many doors to other possibilities. Example is that you want this one particular person. Your mind is set on only one goal and that’s that. Nothing or nobody else will do. You have your affirmations, your prayers, your vision board, your self-hypnosis sessions, or whatever else you put into practice for goal attainment. With your precise focus you can concentrate on that one prize. You may wait for a long time and wait, and yet it never comes to you. However in the mean time and unknown to you, whole other opportunities may have passed you by. Frank Yan believes that God listens and sends us what we need to be happy, yet there’s so many times we get closed off to this because we are too focused on what we think we want.

Practice Patience

Whether you’re trying to become financially stable, build a small business for yourself expecting huge changes immediately is the fastest route to major disappointment. We all get frustrated and want to give up too quickly when our bank account continues to stay in the negatives. Things didn’t get as they are over night. The way your life is right now is a sum total of every decision you’ve ever made. It’s the result of action and inaction. Anything worth achieving takes time. So practice patience.

Following these guidelines above and moving forward with confidence, courage, and perseverance, you can create luck in your life. Each moment is filled with choices; find to commit to making the best ones possible for yourself. Frank Yan has created his own luck in many ways in his sales career in Sacramento.

Frank Yan of Sacramento on Why Lottery Tickets Are Keeping You Poor

A few months back Frank overheard a conversation at the Sacramento International, while waiting for his flight, where two people were discussing their ultimate wish to win the California State lottery and thereby never have to ever work again. Sure, this is a great dream, but is it keeping them poor?

Frank thinks there are 2 quite different points to consider here:


1. The cost of those lottery tickets all adds up at the end of the year. For example, if you go out to your local Sacramento Supermarket and spend about $7 a week, a $1 per day on a ticket by the end of the year you would have spent $364. May not sound a lot. However, the opportunity cost, that is the cost in terms of the opportunity forgone, is actually higher since this money could have been saved, thereby earning interest or properly invested.


2. Most people out there who buy lottery tickets do not have a rich mindset at all. They crave all the riches without wanting to do anything for it, or they don’t believe in themselves or believe their own ability to produce any abundant wealth. In this sense, the lottery ticket can be seen as a financial “white flag” being raised across the board. A lottery win becomes their only chance of becoming rich.

Frank finished a book last month that was very relevant to the second point. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Reflect on this title of the book for a moment…. Think and Grow Rich!! The secret of getting rich relates to peoples thinking. Rather than hoping for luck to make you rich, believe in your own ability to produce wealth. It can be done. Frank Yan bought this book from the Sacramento Barnes and Noble where he bagan his first chapter, prior to
purchasing.


Frank suggest that if you currently purchase lottery tickets on a daily basis, take a moment and do the following activity: Close your eyes and try to imagine yourself rich as a result of your own efforts. Was it easy or hard? If you had any problems Frank recommends you stop buying lottery tickets for the moment, and start working on your thoughts. Only when you have gained control over your mind and realize your own potential to make yourself rich do suggest you consider buying lottery tickets again.


So wait a minute…. Why did Frank Yan just say you can consider buying a lottery ticket again? Well, to directly answer the question posed in the title to this post: It is not the lottery ticket, in itself, that will keep you poor. Rather it is a poor mindset that will keep you poor.

Frank Yan of Sacramento on Adding to it

If we add a bit perspective to a problem and it does become a challenge. If we add a bit understanding it does become a challenge and it cam become an opportunity. This is how Sacramento businessman Frank Yan sees it.

Frank also sees that if we add a bit of effort, energy, effort, commitment to an opportunity and it does become an achievement. The lesson here, that Frank Yan composed teaches us that we meed to put a true purpose into these achievements as it becomes a fulfillment we accomplished.

Let’s understand that life is what it is, and yet it does’t need to stay that way. We can add to it in our own positive and unique ways.

Where there’s pain & suffering, we need add our love, our compassion, our understanding, as well as out helpful efforts to ease the pain. Where there is uncertainty and disorder, we can add a strong sense of meaningful and positive purpose.

Whatever situation you may encounter, here in Sacramento or wherever we can add our very best ways to it. The moments and days might come to us in unpredictable and troubling ways. Yet we can give the power of joy to them.

Frank Yan believes that life is found in richness and not so much in what comes to us as in what we do with it. Begin to add to it, in empowering, enriching ways, and make life’s richness in Sacramento even more so.
