To your advantage…

Beginning the journey

We enter this world empty. The baby does not know his purpose and he doesn’t know about this life. As he grows up, through trial and error, he discovers many things about how to be, how to act, even how to think and feel.

But this shouldn’t stop him from looking into himself once he is an adult. As this adult, he is on his own, so he should master himself, or at least begin his journey to self-mastery. If true love and happiness is to bloom inside him, then life requires him to stop following the influence of the world and look into himself.

Using what you find within

And looking into oneself then can be scary, or it can bring you some discomfort. I know that my childhood, my youth growing up wasn’t perfect; so I lived many losses, heartbreaks and painful things. Sometimes looking inside oneself as an adult can move and bring to the surface all that pain or burden that we have from childhood.

All the hidden, subconscious trauma and personal issues we may carry around. But to get better, to heal, to move on and better your life, you must dig all this and bring it to the surface of your conscious so you can use it as strength. Painful trauma, or any negative memory we carry, is energy. Knowing how to use this energy to our advantage is the responsibility of each one of us.

Finding purpose

The whole purpose

Sometimes we became aware of things later in life. Sometimes it takes years, even decades, for a person to discover his passion, his goals, what he really wants to pursue and work with great commitment. Sometimes life is truly difficult for us growing up, and so we discover our true strengths and capacities when we are older and more mature.

But this is just learning and discovering ourselves. At different levels, it happens to any one of us. It is the whole purpose of living. So, there is really no age number, no definite moment, to pursue your passions in life. The worst mistake you can make is to belittle yourself and say that you can’t because you’re too old, or because you have other responsibilities, or because the people around you doesn’t support you.

Finding and feeling joy and inspiration

Granted, one should always pursue with caution, with intelligence, and without being impulsive. First and foremost, one must pursue with maturity and thinking what is the best for our current lives. I, for example, became a published author in my late 30s. In my late 30s then, after much research, I discovered my strengths regarding to creative writing.

So, I blended fantasy with spirituality in my books, because I want to entertain people but also guide or help people with the burdens of life. So, I guess what I’m trying to say is that one should always stop oneself, search deep inside, and find whatever inspires you and fills you with passion. It’s not about money alone, but it’s about finding and feeling joy and inspiration in what you do.

The best medicine

Developing a greater trait

One of the greatest traits to develop in life, which serves you in any aspect, is laughter, being able to find the positive, even the silly in life. Seeing your own troubles and challenges in life, even your painful past, with a little optimistic sense while you put effort in smiling is of the brave and intelligent.

Help them feel safer

Relationships, especially, require a positive outlook and a calmer mind from you. When problems arise, or when something is argued, the mind must remain calm and get rid of the chaos and anxiety to see a better way, a positive way. Besides, when your partner, or the people around you, sees you more calm, with a comical disposition, then they feel safer around you.

Developing inner strength

Every tension in our bodies is a slow killer, it makes us worry and fall ill, which is why it’s said that laughter is the best medicine. It really is. To be able to allow insults, frustration, anger, contradicting beliefs, to just wash over us. It is about inner strength, and about developing that inner strength further; and for this we must let go of any tension and drama.

Learning from 2022

Reflecting about what was…

This year is coming to an end. How was your year..?? What do you feel you’ve accomplished…?? What are your regrets, if any…?? What have you learned…?? I am starting to ask myself questions like these, because I feel that it is wise to reflect on my past and realize new things about 2022 to better start 2023. I’m all about self-development. I enjoy the challenge of growth.

Learning from what was…

Learning is a priviledge, and also a personal choice. You have to choose to look at the past with an open and positive mind to find the lesson (and you have to believe there is a lesson there). Perhaps it was difficult or painful, so one must be brave and committed to better oneself. I personally find confidence and inner strength as I learn from my past instead of ignoring it or running away from it.

Being humble about what was…

Humility is key. Because to learn from pain, mistakes, or something lived, we must accept first that we can learn, that maybe we don’t know or understand everything. Allow the ego to let go, so the mind can grow. And for this, obviously, we need patience and a quiet mind. If the mind seeks these loud excuses then we cannot learn. And if the mind is anxious with excuses then patience is not.

About loneliness…

Feeling lonely

When someone feels lonely is really because that person feels empty, even without knowing it, which means an intimate, individual purpose is lacking. See, loneliness does not come from an empty home, or from no people around, or from no special someone in your life.

Individual purpose

Loneliness comes because there is no real intimacy with yourself, which means your inner communication, kind and inspirational self-talk is not there. Try occupying your time to fix this, creating a personal purpose that does not involve others, designing daily behaviors that bring you more health of body and mind.

“SHADOW GHOULS OF NERGUS.”

(#4 in the epic series BENJAMIN JONES)

It  was  dry,  bone  dry.  It  was  a  desert,  wretched  and  deprived  of  any  life.  It  looked  as  if  this  world  had  poisoned  himself,  as  the  earth  was  cracked  and  pale,  as  the  skies  were  grieved  and  colorless.  There  was  light  from  the  moons  and  the  suns,  weak  and  omnipresent;  but  there  was  no  warmth,  and  there  was  no  cold  either.  But  they  found  a  few  remains,  skulls,  scattered  frames  of,  perhaps,  creatures  who  had  lived  long  ago.”…

Burning fat

Why is hard to lose weight..??

For most people after 30 years old it gets harder to lose weight. Our capacity to more quickly digest foods, eliminate fats and sugars, really dwindles. This happens to most of us, depending on your genetics; however, our body changes from the efficiency it had when we were younger.

Intermittent fasting

It’s what I do. I do not have breakfast. From last night’s meal at 6 pm to the next day at 11 am I fast. That is called ‘Intemittent Fasting.’ This gives my stomach time to clean itself and to also burn more fat. And that is the secret: Allowing your digestive system to work at its own pace. Remember, after 30 years old, your metabolism slows down and everything changes.

Superior artist

The renaissance of the emotional

Throughout the years I have learned much about what true art is, and what it really means to create it. First, I’d like to say that art is a renaissance of your emotional journey. It must mean something to you, it isn’t just a business and another transaction. It must reflect the way you think and feel, which is why true art is for the brave among us.

And then I’d like to add that to create art you must stop copying and trying to emulate others. It is a form of expression unique to you. Through your book, or through your dance, or through your craft you must find freedom. If you live frustrated for the commercial aspect of your art, then is because you haven’t found true freedom yet and your art probably needs uniqueness.

How do you find uniqueness..??

What is it about you that is different from how others think and feel?? What is the real reason for you taking days, weeks, months, years working on your art and then wanting to share that art with others?? What is it that you think you can bring to the world with your expression?? What have you learned from past experiences, especially from the painful ones, as great art is born from the pain we have suffered and the lessons in it??

Your uniqueness is only found in you, by you. But you have to take the time to actually explore yourself and ask yourself the difficult and profound questions. The true artist and his art is born from this self-exploration. It is the greatest form of intimacy with yourself, and it will frustrate you and anger you at first; however, in time, through honesty and patience with yourself, you will become stronger and more creative for it. The superior artist.

Steps to loving…

Loving another

It’s all about empathy. When somebody talks, listen and feel the emotion in their words. When somebody needs your support, offer it without measuring what they have done in the past. When it comes to loving, you must let go of overthinking, specially judging. If your mind is judging them, there is no room for loving them.

Where it all starts

But, truth is, everything starts with honesty to yourself. Loving yourself is doing what is healthy for you, not doing what your ego wants. For example, your ego wants to drink alcohol, it wants to keep reacting to the world aroung you instead of exploring yourself, it wants to blame everyone but yourself, etc. This is not caring for yourself, less being honest with yourself.

A person living in their ego cannot truly love, which means they will always have difficulty being happy and loving others. These persons will live frustrated, suffer from mental and physical issues as they age, and fail at committed relationships. So, loving others starts by being honest with yourself and truly taking the steps to become healthier.

Losing weight

Trying to lose weight

As we age, our bodies change. It doesn’t matter our genetics, our capacity to burn fat, sugars, and the rest is really affected. Of course, genetics plays a role too, as some people have it easy losing weight and others not so easy. But, truth is, that losing weight can be done, no matter the condition or genetics you have.

Now, there are many people who go to the gym or exercise at home very hard to lose weight; but, after trying hard and sweating a lot, they depress themselves at the sight of failure. Well, that is because they forget, or willingly ignore, the most basic and important part of losing body fat: Food and drink consumption.

Food, drink, and addictions.

The first thing to have in mind when you want to really lose weight is what you consume. Ask yourself what you eat for your meals. Do you drink alcohol?? Do you smoke?? Do you do drugs?? Do you drink plenty of water?? Are you a slave to your sweets?? Now, I am of the mind that losing weight is attached to a truly healthy lifestyle. Not a strict lifestyle, but a lifestyle filled with passion for my true well-being.

But in my experience, what makes you fat are addictions. Any addictions make your mind weak, easily tempted, an easy target for fat gaining and illnesses. And to truly lose weight and maintain your health, you must have a strong mind, which is a mind that carries self-discipline and strength to say no to temptations and addictions.
