Finding purpose

How I see things

I have spent much of my life in anger, frustrated, expecting life to be compassionate to me because I always saw myself as a good man. Coming from Argentina to United States, 20 years ago or so, was a big change, in culture, and in ways of thinking and feeling. So I started to see life in a different way.

Life does not respond to what you think you deserve, but it responds to your persistence and behavior aimed to your goals. And I learned that you must be specific in your goals. You can’t just wish for happiness. But you must trace a detailed plan of what you want and persevere on it, no matter the obstacles in your path.

Hone your skills

For years, I never really knew what to do. What really gives me passion, joy and purpose?? Because we, especially men, must have a purpose that gives us great joy and makes us feel confident in ourselves. So, I worked for years on my writing skills, never knowing really what to do with this. But it gave me so much direction and understanding. It gave me a new sight, in a sense.

To feel and actually know that I am extremely good at something important to me. After I became a published author I gained so much discipline and confidence, which spread through all aspects of my life. I write this to remind you of the importance of finding your own purpose and passion. And there is no worthless or trivial skill or talent. Always know that.

To be discovered…

Capacity for growth

Imagine a life without misery, without suffering, without challenges, without any great worry. Imagine we are all happy, we get what we want always, we satisfy ourselves and everything works out for all of us.

Now, this “perfection” obviously takes away the mystery, the hidden lessons, the capacity to learn and come up with our own ideas and strengths to find solutions and ways to understand life.

If everything is happiness then there is no need for struggle. But the only capacity for growth is in the struggle. I lost people I loved and suffered much in my life, and so I gained the capacity to learn wisdom and strength. If I never go through suffering then I remain dull and weak, unwise and without experience.

Welcome the chance to grow

It is really difficult, to lose people you love, to see your life not working out, to feel like you are trapped in your own story. But that is also where the possibility to gain strength, wisdom, and grow as a better person hides. I personally have learned not to see life as punishment or as something I should experience in fright.

I have learned, and it took many years, that life is made of choices. As a grown up, each choice I make, whatever it is, hides a lesson I must discover. Discovering the lesson, accepting the lesson, and welcoming the lesson is only up to me–and always through patience.

All thoughts…

Self-deception

Thinking is important, obviously. Thinking, but not overthinking. Overthinking is tied to feeling frustrated, angry, jealous, unworthy, and the rest of the negative burdens. But it is so easy to overthink, and quite often we are not aware of the damage this overthinking is doing to us.

It’s so easy to get lost in thinking, because we feel pressure in life so we may believe thinking and seeking answers in scenarios and images in our minds will somehow fix whatever is wrong. And, of course, this is the damaging self-deception that overthinking brings.

Being alert

So, what really matters is what happens in our heads. That is where everything starts. Everything in life starts with a thought and with all the thoughts of a group. So, this is the inner world. Truth is, the outer world does not matter. Why…?? Because in order to remain alert or vigilant of my own mind, of my overthinking, I need to focus 100% on my inner world.

If I lose myself in the events of the outer world then I will become a slave to them. Becoming a slave to them means that I will easily be influenced by the outer world, which means society will dictate how I should think and feel. I don’t know about you, but I want to dictate how I think and feel. It is my life, after all; like your life is your life, and only your life.

Signs of improvement

Like The Sun gives energy to all

So, like the Sun is filled with energy to give life to Earth, you must be filled with love for yourself in order to be able to give love to someone else, or even to give love to the things you do in life. Any real success in your journey requires this.

Signs you are healing and succeeding on yourself:

-More observing, less judging.
-More thoughtful responding, less reacting.
-More self-care habits, less overthinking sabotage.
-More acceptance, less resentments.
-More attention on inner peace, not on outer chaos.
-More clarity in thought, less confusion and anxiety routines.
-More being and finding satisfaction staying put, less going out and trying to pursue pleasures and excitements.
-More faith in yourself, less fear of failure and ruining your future.

The Birth of God

What the average man seeks

God is born from the thought of the average man. Man, deep inside is afraid of what he doesn’t understand about his own origins, outer space beyond the stars, the unknown in his own world.

Man’s intellectual mind overthinks, seeks answers to irrelevant questions. He doesn’t seek to become a better human being, but he looks for something fantastical, above his own ignorance.

Born from his fear

Because he doesn’t know himself. So, because he doesn’t know himself, he imagines, creates, gives a personality and a mind to this god/and or gods.

He seeks someone that can give him the light that he desperately needs because he feels without it inside. So, God is, in all man’s rantings and schemes, a direct product of man’s fear.

The mistakes of life

Making mistakes

I have made great mistakes. But, throughout life, knowing these mistakes of the past, I have come to see that all of them are there for a reason. No one is perfect. Yes, these can be giant mistakes, terrible mistakes, very bad mistakes; however, they are also teachers, but to learn from them is up to us.

If we don’t learn, we keep repeating them. So, it is always wise to pay attention and not get so into grief and shame. Anxiety is not a good friend, it doesn’t let the mind truly learn from mistakes. And to create success, whatever success means to each one of us, we must be able to pay attention and learn.

Being humble

Of all those mistakes, we may feel the self-pity, the frustration, the anger with ourselves. This is something natural, healthy, and it means we have the capacity to recognize we are flawed–which makes us more human, more empathetic. But, truth is, mistakes are an important part of life; because, like I mentioned, they’re teachers.

But teachers can only teach if the student is receptive. Being receptive is being open to new ideas, suggestions, philosophies to improve ourselves and move on. Being receptive then requires our humility, to accept that we have to change and that we are flawed; and humility to accept as well that we can indeed change and get better.

Adventurous to start…

Being adventurous

I think to be entirely oneself one must be brave, adventurous, not focused on the way others think and feel. I must connect with me, by focusing entirely on me. And the same goes for my activities, because in order to be successful I must create and do with freedom.

Creating and doing with freedom makes me feel joyful and confident. And life, in any aspect, requires this level of commitment from me. Commitment is not scary, or a burden, or a chore, if you feel joy and confidence in you.

Gaining experience as you go

And I often have felt afraid or overwhelmed when initiating a task, an activity, especially when writing the beginning of a story. But then again, creating and doing with freedom. So, I have come to understand that the biggest hurdle is the start of something, but that the start only asks for my adventurous spirit, my devotion for discovery.

It’s like exploring a place in which you’ve never been before. It’s all new, but as you start or enter the place then you become curious, and then more curious, and then you keep going with new ideas and driven by a passion to learn more about the place. And that is how experience comes to you, as you have the bravery to start and push yourself to keep discovering.

The place to discover

The spice of life

I think life would be tedious if we all followed the same exact rules. Besides, it wouldn’t work. We are all different. I can’t expect to be a bestseller author like such and such, or to have the same perceptions and philosophies as someone else.

And that is where the spice of life lies. Each one of us must discover our own path, our own way to perceive and create. Whatever we do, and whoever we are, it is up to us to discover that without trying to copy the formula others have used in their journeys.

Learn and make your way

That is not saying, of course, that we can’t learn from others. We definitely should, and must, learn from the experiences of others, especially from people we admire. But, as I see it, you should take only what works for your, and then add it to your own ideas.

Making my own path could be difficult, but it is only because no one has done it before. No one is like me. We are all different. It’s scary to make my own way, yes; but that is how I discover my place in the world, by creating it.

Critical…

Stress

Stress is a slow killer–killer of ideas, killer of positive attitude, killer of capacity for joy, killer of all health and good manners. If you have trouble sleeping, if your mind has problems shutting down and relaxing, then check your levels of stress. Personally, I have experience when it comes to stress and anxiety, which is why I started meditation years ago.

It really is that serious. You want to enjoy your life and what you do in it. That is the whole purpose of being alive. So, learn to manage your stress; because, I know, quite often, one may not see one’s stress as a critical life issue. Stress, undiscovered or not acknowledged, leads to many other psychological and physiological issues; and it changes your genes–the content and information of your actual DNA.

The unique journey

Different points of view

People have different opinions. That’s all it is, opinions, ways of understanding and perceiving life and all things in it. From a simple conversation to a book review to a terrible war. That is what humankind suffers, which is the attachment to their own views and opinions.

Never let the philosophies, views, opinions, suggestions of others affect you–this includes all politics and politicians, society’s established ways to see things, religion, family, friends. We are all shaped by our experiences, and we must listen to our hearts and be guided by empathy and our dreams.

Waking up

Life is a journey to become more and more awake, which is to learn and experience without letting the world influence us. New dreams, hopes, challenges can help us in waking up; however, if we allow the misery, the prejudice, the injustice of the world to make us miserable, then we won’t find the strength to build ourselves anew.

It’s all about focusing on yourself, working on yourself. What do I need to change?? What are the best habits that lead me to health and happiness?? Let go of others and what they think is right or wrong. Do not believe and follow blindly what others say, whoever they are. Thinking for yourself is the only way to wake up.
