Courage.

“Life has no limitations, except the ones you make.” ~ Les Brown; American motivational speaker, author, radio DJ, former television host, and former politician.

“When you look in the mirror, what do you see?  Do you see the real you, or what you have been conditioned to believe is you?  The two are so, so different.  One is an infinite consciousness capable of being and creating whatever it chooses, the other is an illusion imprisoned by its own perceived and programmed limitations.” ~ David Icke; writer, public speaker.


Focusing on the problems brings more problems to the mind, not less.  The mind tends to limit itself, become narrow and obsessed, and it affects the whole perception of oneself and life; but what the mind needs is to be open, under guidance, it must stop focusing on problems and how big they are, and it must focus instead on the strength to get over them.  Problems are challenges to make you stronger and to help you become what you really are underneath the self-pity and all conditioned fear introduced in you by family, friends, religions, and society overall.

Being unique is a celebration of your inner strength, where you express yourself and free your soul from all those muddy layers of the ego which limit you and tell you that you are not good enough or that you are not meant to be happy.

Courage then is to allow yourself to explore that inner strength in spite of all the people putting you down, in spite of your culture and traditions, in spite of your past memories and bad experiences, in spite of all the fears and confusions; furthermore, courage is to do over and over again through fear and confusion without losing enthusiasm for your own development, for your goal, for your life.


Why are you here if not to be truly the best you can be…??  And why would you allow your mind to be always in constant fear when you deeply know what your heart desires…?? 
You need to decide who you are going to listen for the big choices in your life… either your loud ego and the limitations it designs, or your heart and its Infinite Intelligence without limitations…  So decide.

The patient one.

“Never cut a tree down in the wintertime.  Never make a negative decision in the low time.  Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods.  Wait.  Be patient.  The storm will pass.  The spring will come.” ~ Robert H. Schuller; American Christian televangelist, pastor, motivational speaker, and author.

“There is something good in all seeming failures.  You are not to see that now.  Time will reveal it.  Be patient.” ~ Swami Sivananda; Hindu spiritual teacher and a proponent of Yoga and Vedanta.


We all understand that the origin of wisdom is not the mind of man, seat of the ego, but the heart, not the heart as in the muscle but the heart as the subconscious, Infinite Intelligence, where all true love emerges and fills our cellular make-up.

25594216_403292676770767_3965141846633086656_n

To rush into things, to prematurely act and make decisions, to say without thinking, to react, is not wisdom from the heart but ego activity from the mind; therefore, when it comes to good decisions and behaviors to better our lives and ourselves, rushing into things is to deny wisdom, it is to purposefully ignore our divine trait of patience.


One must understand that patience is indeed divine, because everything that happens, when it happens, whether you understand it or not at the moment, has a divine purpose, and you must be patient and trust that purpose.  Don’t try to understand it or analyze it, because your mind is limited in that regard; just be patient and trust the process. 
23d52daba6eb7c7fbd3da416779a6d76
There is no greater wisdom than to be patient, so breathe, calm your mind, before you rush into something, anything; but specially if it is about some great move or change in your life.

Remember, patience is divine; it means we all have it within ourselves.  So, do not look for excuses and say that you cannot use patience or that you don’t have it; because you do have it, but you might just choose to be too ego-centered to reach for that patience within yourself.  Know your own nonsense.

Lead.

“The reality is that the only way change comes is when you lead by example.” ~ Anne Wojcicki; American entrepreneur, and chief executive officer businesswoman.

“A person always doing his or her best becomes a natural leader, just by example.” ~ Joe DiMaggio; American Major League Baseball player.

How many people out there say very wise and beautiful things, have vast opinions about everything, and are always judging and criticizing but never actually do the right thing, never follow their words, their opinions, never lead by example…??

These individuals are guided to think and say by their egos and not by their hearts, because when you are guided by your heart you are guided by truth; and when you are guided by truth you always lead by example because you can understand reality in the world as it is–not as your lazy ego says it is, but as it really is.


25507789_402171646882870_3183875547349726726_n
The fact is that by sheer thinking and nice wording the only thing stimulated is the intellect, the mind and seat of the ego; but, however, in order to change people and the world, in order to change yourself as well, you must lead by example, you must change your own behaviors, you must do and not just talk about it, and, most importantly, you must challenge yourself and your comfortable ego to real change you can see and do every single day.

 

Life itself is action, change, progress, and it carries lessons and strength in its change, in its actions, events, moments.

Now, wise people are the same, because deep within themselves they know they are one with life and not separate from it; therefore, wise people understand that human character, integrity, goodness, strength, and all which brings true happiness and success into their lives is a great change in their own behaviors.

Elephants

 

That is what other people around you will see and from what they will learn: your wiser example.

It is yours!

“We must not allow other people’s limited perceptions to define us.”  ~ Virginia Satir; American author and family therapist.

“Stay true to yourself, yet always be open to learn. Work hard, and never give up on your dreams, even when nobody else believes they can come true but you. These are not cliches but real tools you need no matter what you do in life to stay focused on your path.”  ~ Phillip Sweet; American musician.


The human potential is often wasted and even ignored, because the human potential, the strength and the capacity to be happy and express ourselves through our talents, is within each one of us, it is the divine light beyond the ego which gives life to all rationale and is there to guide us forth.


But it is ignored because most people choose to allow their attentions to fall on other people’s opinions and judgments, so they themselves become self-conscious and embarrassed, fearful and even consider themselves worthless; and they also become crippled by all this turmoil which brings confusion and fear into their minds.

25398998_401553030278065_7989688364778259642_n

Life is a beautiful journey to create yourself–that is, YOURSELF, not others. And how can you create yourself and enjoy your journey if your mind is upon what other people think…?? How can great imagination to create happiness and success in your life exist in your mind while you remain in fear and chained to what others believe of you…??


You must break yourself free from caring what others think of you, free from the chains of mediocrity; for it is your own perception of yourself the one which matters, because it is your life and you are unique, but unless you become free to imagine and create you cannot know how unique you are.

You won’t be able to see the whole forest if you can only see the tree.  And you won’t be able to see your opportunities and talents to progress in life if you can only see the people who judge you and consume your mental energy.

But, having said that, it is not the people’s fault but your own; therefore, you must take full control of your mind, seek peace, inquire within yourself, and follow your heart and care only about what you see for yourself.

Strengthen your character.

“Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.” ~ Buddha.

“Be Impeccable with your word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.” ~ Don Miguel Ruiz; Mexican author of Toltec spiritualist and neoshamanistic texts.


Quite often we tend to react emotionally to situations and people, destroying trust and distancing ourselves from clarity; and this happens when the mind is overwhelmed and angered, in conversations or even when we keep anger inside that we cannot contain.

So, that is when the mind explodes and careless words come flying out just like daggers thrust to an opponent in battle; however, as in battle, the greatest warriors are the ones who remain calm, the ones who control their reactions, and the ones who turn mental anger and fogginess into mental strength and poise.

25507656_401524340280934_730112181361257566_n
See, the fact that you must be firm and serious in your battle, in your work, in your conversation with another, does not mean you have to be careless and hurtful with your words.

Now, you must understand that when you let your mind explode and you say whatever comes out of your mouth, you are not just hurting others but you are hurting yourself; for in this process you condition your mind, your character, subconsciously perhaps, to be subjected to this poison which runs now throughout your whole system.


You not only destroy your own integrity and peace of mind, but you destroy opportunities and distance yourself from people that now see you as this ego-centered bully; furthermore, your thoughts and words of anger or incomprehension release energy which is negative and attract all sorts of stressing situations into your life.

Your character develops strength based on the control on your reactions and the intentions you carry in thoughts and words.

Be patient, wait to respond or formulate your message, remain clear and do not allow your emotions to cloud your thinking.

Awaken and Hunt!

“Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain. To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices; but today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.”  ~ Kevyn Aucoin; American make-up artist, photographer and author.


We all have gifts and talents, and we were given the opportunity in this time, in this era, in this life period, to live this physical life to find them in each one of us; but, sadly, many people ignorantly look for them outside of themselves, and thus they never find anything which can bring them true happiness.
e20f422d44c4f898b5246c2a0bad4014
But you, as an awakening and wise person, must not waste your time here on this earth, look within you for whatever is for you expressing your unique self, freeing your spirit and being truly you. That is the whole point of this life. And if you can’t understand that then you will never find true and constant happiness.
 

To be here on this planet and fully live and enjoy life means to be present, which means you observe before you judge and complain, you learn what experiences may want to teach you before you get angry with life, you pay attention to what is happening around you in the present moment and not dwell in past memories or visions of the future.

The reality of life is that you must be present, focused on the moment of Now; so, live and enjoy wisely, follow your goals and love without fear, respect yourself enough to give yourself chances to become better, find your true passions and gifts within yourself. And for all this, again, be present, because happiness is now, in the present and not in the past or in the future.

 
Whether you think of an afterlife or not doesn’t matter, your beliefs don’t matter; the only thing that matters is reality, which is that you were born to be happy and successful in whatever you choose to do; but you do have to work at it with heart and intelligence, patiently, wisely, because you have been given time for a reason–i.e., so you can regroup your thoughts, discipline yourself, and learn to create your path.
25398828_760107287513374_3664472929160547245_n
So, mind your time on this earth, be patient, do not rush into things, plan and analyze what you are going to do, but be constant and do not waste your time.
As long as you are alive, you have a chance to better your life.

Internal revolution.

“We are the only beings on the planet who lead such rich internal lives that it’s not the events that should matter most to us, but rather, it’s how we interpret those events that will determine how we think about ourselves and how we will act in the future.” ~ Tony Robbins.

“One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.” ~ Lao Tzu.


To live life is not just to survive but to overcome and awaken to deeper truth, and to awaken to deeper truth one must question and meditate and not just blindly obey and follow.

bobmarley-02
Sadly, what most people in this world do is to obey and follow, perhaps without actually knowing it, choosing their own superficial ignorance and the ignorance of others. 

But the truth of life then, the answers to all the questions of your purpose, of what is right and wrong, of where you are going, of what death really is, etc. etc., are found in questioning yourself, not questioning the world but yourself.

Questioning yourself means meditating about your reactions, your thoughts, your feelings, your behaviors; furthermore, it means analyzing carefully and truthfully all the beliefs you have, the ideas, the surroundings, the people influencing you. 

All that you come to realize then, if you do this, is that everything to develop yourself and your life to find truth, and thus live by the truth, is self-love, which is to respect yourself enough to change your thinking and behaving to embrace true happiness and be guided by wisdom and not by ego-centered activities.

25399183_400689377031097_2558884803750660310_n

This means an internal revolution, and this means destruction of the old you to create the new you.  It is to empty your mind and become free, because once this happens then your mind is not confused and suffering anymore but free to create itself and elevate itself.

And then, once your mind is free and full of self-love, you can help others by example.

Higher standards.

“You can’t please everyone. When you’re too focused on living up to other people’s standards, you aren’t spending enough time raising your own. Some people may whisper, complain and judge. But for the most part, it’s all in your head. People care less about your actions than you think. Why? They have their own problems!” ~ Kris Carr; American health author, wellness activist, and cancer survivor.

“Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thin was changing what I demanded of myself. I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life, all the things I would no longer tolerate, and all the things that I aspired to becoming.” ~ Tony Robbins; American author, entrepreneur, philanthropist and life coach.


Most people in this world act like they do not like themselves, as they dumb themselves down for other people just to fit in with the fools of a group, whether family or friends, and as they engage in their own depressive thinking while putting themselves down in front of a mirror also; thus lowering their own standards to mediocrity and self-pity every day more and more.

25507813_400644110368957_7845411035457432798_n

They are like beggars asking for love and attention, mistreating themselves and belittling themselves and their lives; consequently, this shrinks the human mind and brings all sorts of distortions of reality.

And because you cannot see reality now, namely that you can do more and be more for yourself, you drown in your own ego while you distance yourself from all self-love which can help you experience all happiness.

There is no more love you can have towards yourself than self-respect, because this self-respect creates mighty confidence and strength from within so you can say no to lower standards in the world, so you can raise yourself above those negative thoughts you may have and the inferior influence from people around you.

So, remind yourself that self-discipline in this is to love yourself and care enough to create the greatest life for you.  Worry and work on yourself, do not listen to others.  You are THE ONLY creator of your life.

Keep it sacred.

“The smarter you get, the less you speak.”  ~ Unknown.

“Stop telling your big dreams to small-minded people.” ~ Hakim Sagan; American spiritual teacher, philosopher, and author.

Our passions, our heartfelt motivations, our very important desires to develop ourselves further or to develop something new in our lives, are energies that we must nurture and treat with reverence and faith; because if we do not honor them and make them sacred to us, if we waste our energies telling anybody our innermost plans, is like spilling water outside the glass or spilling flower seeds on cement.  We are going to lose passion and interest while wasting energy telling people whatever is in our hearts and whatever we are developing.

24900255_398785710554797_7656071750402097398_n

The human being tends to get excited over ideas and passions and treat them as amusement for anyone, but this only depletes your energies and soon you lose focus and interest on following through with it.

The more awakened or conscious of your own state of development you become, the more vision and understanding of self-love and of how to attain goals you become; so, you begin understanding your priorities and to only share you innermost thoughts, feelings, and heartfelt passions with a select group of people.

This is not selfish but the center of knowledge of self, wisdom itself; for to know about life and your growth is to understand that everything you think about, you say and do are energies, and that you must not waste these energies by sharing with people who do not care and who will not support your advancement and inner and outer growth.

Stop the loud voice of your ego from making you tell everything you carry inside, everything concerning your development, inner and outer; because happiness and all success is something you cultivate, it is something individual and not collective.

CZDSDL4UwAQd7Ic

So have faith, patience, honor and cultivate wisdom in this, keep the important things to yourself.

Moving forwards…

TED Radio Hour: Forgiveness
“The weak can never forgive.  Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”  ~ Mahatma Gandhi.

“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive.  He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.  There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us.  When we discover this, we are less prone to hate others.”  ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.; American Baptist minister, spokesperson and leader in the Civil Rights Movement.


Self-love is the beginning of every great and inspirational thought, of every great and inspirational feeling, of every great and inspirational deed; so, if a human being cannot love himself beyond his mundane thoughts and superficial appearance, then he will not be able to experience true happiness and truly love others.

9ab18aa88e858e60360091f17dd28bb4--bible-quotes-forgiveness-forgive-quotes
But he will confuse pleasure with true love and thus he will suffer and fail many times in his life, while making the same mistakes over and over again until, and if ever, he learns to develop self-love.

Forgiveness is one of the greatest acts regarding self-love, because it is all about truly freeing your own mind, loving yourself; and once you let go of the hurt from past memories, then your mind is free to embrace self-love and to move on, while you are not tied anymore to hate and anger and you can heal yourself.


Even something as terrible as rape can be forgiven, not forgotten, obviously; but, nevertheless, you can remove the anger and hatred from your mind which is destroying your abilities to move on and be happy, thus you self-love.

24862275_397594064007295_3626136152942020627_n

I am not saying forgiving the stupidities of people is easy, not even close to that; but I am saying that it is worth it, because it is all about your healthy development and the embrace of greater strengths.

Whatever happened in your life a minute or ten years ago is in the past, and now in your memory; and because it is a memory, you may never forget it, but because it is in fact this memory in thought-form, you can make peace with it.  And so with daily practice, patiently, focused on your own development, you can let go, you can help yourself.
forgiveness-1
The easiest, most selfish and lazy thing the human being does is to follow his own ego blindly, like a brute with no brains at all; so, to remain attached to anger and hatred, to choose to follow stupid memories and let these thoughts consume you, is to deny the divine opportunities, the inner strength, life has given you to move on and raise above your own flawed mind, thus stupidity and stubbornness, thus a very selfish and pitiful state of mind.  This is of the weak mind, thus also of the weak individual as a whole who cannot even rule over his own mind.
To forgive then is of the strong mind, because to forgive is to see beyond your own lazy ego and reach deep within you for the strength to move on and be happy.  This takes guts and a very tamed mind.  This takes some greater mastery over yourself.
Are you the weak one or the strong one then…??  Are you an inferior human being or a superior one…??
