How to Find Happiness: Positive Vigilance
Rachel & Shane Krider’s third episode of their personal development podcast teaches you how to find happiness. Below is a snippet of the podcast where Shane discusses how positive vigilance opens your mind to allow you to see the new opportunities in your life.

Positive vigilance is where you’re playing your game, you’re having fun, you’re going for a goal, and every little win is adding up to something bigger. Even if you have a setback, you’ve got enough wins to gain some momentum. You know even with those setbacks, you’re going to go somewhere and you start to get your basis of happiness in morale. Every day starts to revolve around the destination that you’re heading toward, not the day-to-day strife that you’re coming in contact with. It’s a much more balanced place to come from.
How do you find what your purpose is? You get out there, you start looking around, and it’s like following a trail of breadcrumbs. My trail of breadcrumbs started with “I am disappointed with the amount of money I make because I cannot have the things that I’m passionate about.” I hate to admit this, but it’s superficial stuff for me. I’ve always wanted a cool car, ever since I was young. Cars, motorcycles, anything with a motor in it is basically what I wanted. But I could never afford anything that was just even halfway cool, so that drove me to want to play a bigger game when it comes to making money.
I felt limited. I thought I’m a high school dropout, I’ve had 23 jobs by the time I was 23 years old, and I was fired from almost every single one of them. I had people telling me I was lazy and I needed to get my crap together and have some discipline. I would look at that, and all I could say was, “Wow, they’re right. But I don’t know what to do about it.” You see, I wasn’t trying to be a slacker, believe it or not. Looking back at me at 26, I was doing the best I could on every level, and it was still crap.
So I began following the trail of breadcrumbs. What did I want? Well, I wanted more money. Superficial, I know, but what the funny thing about superficial things is they lead to the deeper things eventually.
To begin following the trail of breadcrumbs to making more money, I had to open my mind. I tried to get jobs in roles that I wasn’t familiar with playing, such as sales. I applied for a hundred sales jobs and couldn’t get hired at any of them. That’s when I decided if I’m going to do it, I’m going to do it myself. I’m going to start a business. I had to open my mind to opportunities around me to allow that positive vigilance to manifest.

How to Find Happiness: How I Found My Drive
Rachel & Shane Krider’s third episode of their personal development podcast teaches you how to find happiness. Below is a snippet of the podcast where Shane explains how he found his drive to find happiness.
—
When I got into personal development initially, I decided early on that the ultimate idea is that I would become a person that can inspire, motivate, teach, and train people the way the people that I was reading about were teaching, training, inspiring, and motivating me. Not just from a place of knowledge, but more importantly from a place of real-world results. Unique, high-level results that just most people in life will never get. I wanted to be one of those people.
Coming from where I was, it seemed like the biggest, farthest away thing. But you know, one success at a time, one realization at a time. When you fast forward some years, and you’re there, you’re doing it. It’s amazing. But it’s important to remember that it’s all a cumulative thing. I identified my purpose, what I want to turn my life into, the things I want to stand for, the things I want to make more real for everybody else.
When I was working other jobs, the thing I constantly saw was that people are not happy with the success that they can create the job and the uncertainty with the job. That’s when I thought; I would love to find something that puts me above that. I would love to find something that allows me to not be at the effect of all those negative things. I would love to ultimately be able to create something that would set other people free as well, at least if they’re willing to do what it takes to be successful with that. That’s something I was able to do, but that was a big, outrageous picture of gold. That was long-term thinking.
You see, I started out with pain driving me into vigilance because no matter how hard I worked at the job, I couldn’t get the promotion, I couldn’t get the money I needed to make. That pain drove me into vigilance, but eventually, I switched to more of a “carrot drive.” I’m still waking up to this. I need to wake up to the fact that I need to be vigilant in my life to be successful, but it needs to be positive vigilance.

How to Find Happiness: Chasing Our Desires
Rachel & Shane Krider’s third episode of their personal development podcast teaches you how to find happiness. Below is a snippet of the podcast where Shane discusses how pain can drive you into vigilance and it’s important to use that drive to chase down our biggest desires.
—
Relying on other people isn’t the best way to go, contrary to popular belief. That will drive us into vigilance. We’re driven into vigilance because of let downs, because of failures, because of things that we didn’t expect. That is irritating! We are forced to wake up.
It’s like somebody coming in at five o’clock in the morning, and you’re in the middle of the best dream you’ve ever had. You’re just happy. There’s a small part of you that knows you’re dreaming; it’s like that lucid time. So, somebody comes in and starts trying to wake you up. You know that someone’s trying to wake you up, but you want to stay dreaming, you want to stay happy, and it pisses you off. By the time they get you to wake, you’re flat pissed off.
You see, that’s like pain driving you into vigilance. It’s no good, and there are people that walk around for decades irritated as hell just wanting to be left alone, wanting to go back to sleep, want to go back to that comfort zone because they’re forcibly brought up to the level of vigilance.
The other side of it is the carrot. So what’s the carrot? Well, if you work at a job and they have a compensation plan, that’s the carrot. But that isn’t the only carrot. You know, as human beings, we have things that were naturally interested in it; we naturally gravitate towards. We have things that we feel motivated to do, things about the world we feel motivated to change. We find purpose in our lives, but usually, the purpose falls somewhere between reality, being able to do something constructive with it, make money, be successful, and a fairytale land. As a result of that, most of us get pretty serious. We end up doing what we think we’re supposed to do to try and create our success.
But the carrot sight is where we want to be. We want to create a path, a life, and a lifestyle for ourselves that has us on the path to chasing something that we desire. It starts with a small goal. But that small goal needs to fall into alignment with a much bigger picture. Once you achieve that small goal you’re going to be like one of the astronauts once they made it to the moon: what the hell else do you do after you accomplish that? They got a bit depressed after they came back.
We want to create a life; we want to create a bigger picture of upward spiraling success. That means that our goal achievement parlays upon itself. One thing leads to a bigger thing, which leads to a bigger thing and so on. What all of that adds up to is something that’s even bigger, better, more exciting.
