Becoming wise

Blind belief

I find that it’s very difficult to judge, choose, see the truth of something if we are bias. If we hold on to our beliefs, to our opinions, to the way we see things, then our minds become stubborn and blinded to reality. Take for example, a religious person.

A person blinded by certain scriptures and by what has been taught in their tradition may believe that Jesus is the savior and the only way. And that person grows attached to this blind belief. And the same could happen with another religion and their beliefs.

This blinds their minds from what is: Themselves. They are the saviors of their own lives, as their attitudes and personal habits. What saves them is their own personal habits of healh and wisdom.

Examine everything

Of course, the same goes for all politics and all sorts of personal philosophies, cultures, traditions. Don’t let your childhood, or what they have taught you, or what you have experienced in the past, make your mind rigid and unable to entertain and respect other people’s views.

But better be open-minded and expand your awareness. To do this, you have to examine and dissect all thoughts you have. Study all beliefs and ways of seeing things. Ask yourself questions: Why do I believe this or that?? What proof more than my feelings do I have??

Does it really make sense?? It’s my opinion or belief separating me from other people?? Is my opinion or belief only good for one group while excluding another?? Never stop asking yourself questions. This is how you know yourself and grow in wisdom.

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…

Photo by Asad Photo Maldives on Pexels.com

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.

Rid of procrastination

Time wasted

Since I started my writing career, I value time much more because it has become much more precious to me. Sometimes we waste time on things that do not have a greater purpose, such are things that do not contribute anything to our goals. Procrastination comes as a byproduct of all this waste.

Spending too much time checking emails. Much more time than we have to spent on social media. Time wasted on TV, streaming shows, listening to music and podcasts, etc. Oftentimes time wasted on friends. All these program our subconscious to become easily blocked when we desire to focus on an important task.

Becoming conscious of what is important

Each day ask yourself what is more important to you. Each moment think about the goals you have, strengthen your purpose, and become aware of your choices. Training your mind like this, it reminds you to be aware in those times when you need it the most; and, most importantly, daily practice of this awareness creates self-discipline, and this makes you more practical and mature when it comes to using your time.

Love that blooms

Loving others

Loving, maturely, sincerely, like everything important in life, is a faithful practice. You must be there for someone else. Instead of doing what you want, take your time to listen. Teach your mind to be peaceful, let go of going your own way.

If you were used to taking care only of yourself, living the way you want, building your own lifestyle, then train yourself to let go and be open-minded to a different perspective. In time, through honest practice, loving will become you, your desires and actions.

Be patient

Blooming the flower of love is a process of the mind and must not be rushed. Rushing it only tricks the mind into believing it changed, but in time problems in the relationship will appear because there was never a real shift of your mindset/your subconscious never changed its programming.

Finding purpose

Photo by Magda Ehlers on Pexels.com

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.

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.

Turn things around

Photo by Alexas Fotos on Pexels.com

Inspiration

There is nothing like feeling inspired to get up in the morning and live a great day. But, sadly, most of us expect the day to bring inspiration, to make us feel like it’s a great day, to push us through. Truth is, you are the inspiration, and your attention allows you to feel it.

If I seek to feel inspired then I will put my full attention on what I do; but I won’t stop there, because I will choose to see everything I live, especially the hard times, with positivity and faith. I create my path and the way I feel; thus I create my inspiration.

Ways to turn things around

-If I encounter rude people, I ignore them or I do not engage myself emotionally with them.

-If I lose something or someone important to me, I do not let it pull me down but I try to get on with my life and envision a better future for me.

-If I see that things still do not go as expected, I use the frustration I feel as energy to seek other, more creative ideas and come up with other ways to create my success.

-If thoughts of any negativity start to creep in my mind, I use their energy and transform those same thoughts in ones of hope and strength. I create better scenarios in my head, ones which give me the capacity to feel better about myself.
