The Doom & Gloom

Attached & Influenced

But are you willing to let it go and free yourself, even if it means cutting the chains to the system and to the society you made an important part of your life already?? Everybody, all the time, in all times cry doomsday. Religions with their prophets, heaven, hell.

Politics, what’s better or worse for the country. Economy, difficult times, better times, what to do in your life, what not to do in your life. Everything and everyone is attached and influenced by this.

Ideas & Illusions

Why?? Because it works. Because it has been established in this way a long, long time ago. It all began when man started to grow intellectual capacities and find out he could influence the mentality of others around him.

So, by doing this he created systems in his society. And then, he became attached to his own ideas. Throughout the years, he made himself and others believe these ideas as realities.

Ignorant & Scared

Realities that bring insecurity, and anxiety, and jealousy, and self-pity, and all kinds of fear. But every day is a miracle, if you can see society and its systems as just ideas. Nothing is truly doomed, not as long as you don’t believe in it.

Your belief makes it real to you. Your belief takes you to overwhelm yourself with fear, and then it takes you to create a different world inside your mind, and then this world makes you ignorant and scared of whatever could be coming next.

In love with Life and with Yourself

And what’s coming next is unknown–in relationships, in the economy, in politics, in your life. So, detach yourself from the doom and gloom, from what others say, and especially from your own anxiety and fears.

To fully detach yourself from all of it allows your mind to be free and uncluttered, and this leads you to be brave, confident, yourself entirely. Then, and only then, you become 100% in love with your life and with yourself; and, as a result, no one and nothing can shake your determination and bring you down.

To feel lonely…

The Pursuit of Happiness

Self-reflection: The natural ability to be patient and inquire into yourself. You might be aware of its process. You might not be aware of its process. Most people are not aware of it. So, in the same context, what really leads you to feel lonely?? Attaching yourself to whatever is outside you does.

Relying on people to feel happy, loved, satisfied and fulfilled in your life. Relying on the exterior, whatever or whomever it is, is the roller coaster, what society ignorantly calls The Pursuit of Happiness.

The Rat Race

They make it a chase, a hunt, something you have to daily struggle and fight to achieve. You might have to struggle to achieve a relationship, or money, or a position you want, or to be accepted by others; but you never should have to struggle or fight for love or happiness.

So, if you do struggle for it daily, then it means you really don’t know what it is, which means you do not know or even understand yourself beyond the petty desires of your own mind. But you are not alone. 98% of the world is in the rat race with you as well.

What Festers inside

Achieving your desires might be important. We all want to be successful at what we want. But living entirely for achievements makes you feel anxious, frustrated, insecure, lonely. So, learn how to separate the desires of your mind from the depth of your heart.

Most of the time, people confuses these two with one: This is what creates frustration and loneliness, which is the ignorance of not really knowing the two apart. You may think you love something, or someone; but it turns out, much later, that you made a mistake because you followed anxiety and loneliness.

And then you blame your exterior, others, the world, when things hurt you or do not go as you expected. This festers jealousy, hate, feelings of desperation, lack of self-worth in you. And it is all because you followed impulses, passions, and you never self-reflected.

Life

Vital Focus

Remind yourself: Living a better life is about appreciating what you have. And living a happy life is also about appreciating what you have. Society, and our individual intellectual mind, makes us lose focus of what really matters.

All true love is born in you when you are fully satisfied with your life as it is, which means focusing and appreciating what you have in this moment–whatever that is. There is no true joy without this vital focus.

And that is what life is; namely a moment of focus in what we call time, space, or evolution. But if you focus on the stress and the bad things that could happen, then you are not fully enjoying life.

As You Make It

Being alive without enjoying life brings all sorts of mental and physical distortions and illnesses. Accept yourself, your situation, others, as they are; but do not dwell on the negativity or in the unpleasantness, instead focus on your own well being and on moving on.

At the end of the day, life is as precious as you make it. The worst anyone can do is to wish this, that, or what others have. Wishing, and attaching yourself to this wish, inevitably brings feelings of suffering and self-victimization.

It leads to feelings of jealousy and regret, and these paralyse you while taking away your capacity for growth. Life becomes worthless if you feel no capacity for growth, which is lack of value and confidence to work on yourself and on what you want.

The Reason You Create

Nobody likes to feel like this, because it changes your mood, because it makes you see life as being unjust, and because it makes you feel like you do not matter in the world. This creates a void in your heart, which is the kind of loneliness that makes you suffer and even makes you question the reason for existing.

And, of course, existing in itself has no reason. The “burden”, or greatest challenge in our lives, is to give our existence, our life, meaning. But I am talking about the kind of meaning that rises from your own mental wellbeing.

“Being born again”. So, forget about your past, what you’ve suffered, what somebody else did to you, and be born again. This is done by training your mind to appreciate what you have now, by not comparing yourself or your life, and by patiently taking steps to build more of what you want/to bring more meaning into your life.

The Only Constant

The Self That I Am

Who am I…?? I am not a man of many words really. I do like to write my thoughts and feelings, perceptions and discoveries; however, in person, I’m not really into chit-chatting or talking too much. Not even with my neighbors, friends, or even family. I like to be direct and blunt when I speak.

I like to observe and keep my personal, innermost discoveries or thoughts to myself, unless I feel a need to make myself heard by others, which it rarely happens because I don’t really concern myself with what others think or feel about my behavior or the way I am. And it is so because I value my mental freedom more than anything else in life.

What I Know For Certain

And I know that in society it is promoted and influenced in us to always be extremely friendly, and smile a lot, and to be very kind, and to be accepting of everything in terms of other people’s behaviors. But this is why most people, without knowing, fall into fakeness.

Not being yourself entirely, or adjusting yourself to your surroundings or to the feelings of others, is just very exhausting and damaging to your own mental wellbeing. This inevitably leads to physical illnesses and traumas, no matter your age or emotional strength. It is just not me, because it is not freedom.

The Heights of Self

What I am, what I seek, what I value the most above everything else is freedom. Freedom to tell it how it is. Freedom to control my failure and success. Freedom to control what I choose, what and how I feel, and what I want in my path and direction in life.

Not fitting into philosophies, and into groups, and into systems, and into romantic ideals. Because fitting into these, whether you understand it or not, means you are enslaved, which means you cannot be entirely yourself because somebody else controls you. Once you fully accept yourself, and put yourself above everything else, is simple really.

The Only Way

Seeking Our Worth

Relationships are difficult. Life is difficult. But, as I see it, it doesn’t have to be. People hide things from each other. People fear being themselves. People judge others based on their past experiences–past hurt and otherwise. We all do this at some point in our lives. The worst we can do is try to make up excuses for it, or even deny it.

And, I have been there as well, where sometimes one feels unworthy, or depressed about how things are going in life, or somewhat afflicted by society and by the pressures of it. Maybe finances are down. Or something very personal affects us in a way that makes us feel negative in terms of who we are. And I think this comes due to seeking our worth in the exterior.

Falsity in Exterior Pursuits

How others are doing. The latest fashions being worn. The greatest techs. Examples from celebrities and what not. A sure way to lose our identity in the vast sea out there. But we are really meant to discover ourselves, which is the only purpose in life. Forming relationships, family, kids, our jobs, money, career, traveling, etc–it all comes second because these are just exterior pursuits.

And why are these exterior pursuits?? Because, as great, noble and pleasurable as these are, these cannot bring true happiness. They are tethered to the roller coaster of life. One day we can get all we want and be joyous. Another day everything brings us down because it doesn’t result as expected. The rate race, in a manner of speaking. Great experiences, but the wrong place to seek happiness.

The Truth About Happiness

Because happiness is something we are always in control, because we choose it. It is not chosen based on our relationship satisfaction level. It is not chosen based on how much money we make or the life we can afford. And it is definitely not based on the success we have in society–in any of its terms. Happiness is of our minds. Happiness really is a mindset. Your life can be in shambles.

People do not like you. You hate your job, your boss, your hours, your pay. Still, you choose to be happy and contented with your life currently. You try to excel at something you like. You pursue your passions with all your might. But you don’t complain and make excuses in your mind. Keep your mind negativity free.

Physical Health is First

Then you train your mind to always be happy. Now, I am not saying is easy. Obviously it is not. But, that’s what it takes to be truly happy. Self-discipline. Promise yourself that no matter what happens around you, or outside you, you will choose to be happy. There is no more than that really. Self-love. Of course, you must watch what you eat and be healthy.

If you feel sick, in physical pain in any way, then it’ll be almost impossible to keep that promise to yourself. When we are physically sick or in pain, then our minds become full of tension and anxiety. In this chaotic mind, we cannot choose positivity and happiness. So, be kind to yourself. To your body and mind. And no excuses–do that favor to yourself.

Power of The Heart

The greatest obstacle in your life is fear. Of course, there is the fear you recognize. And there is the fear you don’t. The fear you don’t recognize is subconscious, which is your habit, the way you respond and react, and the robotic thinking that originates from the way you’ve been taught as a child.

So, in order to truly understand and know yourself, and in order to be a success in life and grow as a better human being, you must work on the subconscious fear you carry. And it is a very personal quest, self-discovery, lifestyle change. You know the fears you carry.

These fears create your shame, your insecurity, and all your negative thoughts including those feelings of being unable to accomplish something (not good enough for something). Are you making excuses for this right now?? Because excuses are what makes us weak. Excuses are what blind us from true greatness.

The whole problem starts when you analyze things to death. We all do at some point. In all honesty, through effort and patience, anything can be accomplished; however, the power of the heart, to go on, to be confident and achieve, usually is ignored and buried under the millions and millions of thoughts/overthinking/fears we carry.

Life Over Death

In those moments of anxiety, of trying to figure out what will happen next, allow your mind to let it go and focus on giving your best in the present. What is the point of stressing about something that is not yet here?? Death is a state of the mind that cripples the ability to live daily with joy.

There is no mastery of anything in life if man cannot master his own moment. Living life is an emotional roller coaster, filled with its ups and downs, guided by the behavior of our minds. So, the mind must be in peace with itself in order to enjoy life and its moments.

The mind must not struggle with anxiety. The mind must be a place where one can carefully think, analyze without bias, and find freedom to create feelings of joy regardless of the events happening in our lives. Beauty exists only in freedom. Beauty is what, consciously aware or not, we all seek in life.

But beauty is something which is only discovered when you pause and reflect, when you stop dying and growing mentally old. Age is something of the mind. One can remain young, creative, energetic, attractive, charming, even if the body becomes old. The passage of time has no control of the moment. It is only when you are living in the past and in the future that you bring aging to your mind.

And what makes the mind age–get stressed, unattractive, slow, judgmental, negative, dull, etc–is anxiety and all its effects. Effects that actually change our mental and physical structure, that also make us dull and unable to love and live our best life. Because death is a state of mind that cripples the ability to live daily with joy.

Winning at Life

If you love yourself

Friend, if you love yourself truly, you don’t sit and wish. And if you love yourself truly, you don’t observe others and envy what they have. And if you love yourself truly, you don’t victimize yourself and pretend you deserve better.

Life in society is a struggle, physically, mentally, and for any of us. So, complaining to yourself, telling yourself that you suffer more than others, is what becomes your weakness, your only enemy. Because, dear friend, if you love yourself truly, you get rid of the excuses and change your own daily habits.

You get rid of the excuses

But you must be patient, committed to your goals, and focused on the healthiest choices in each moment to get the best out of you. The best actions will transform your mind, and accordingly transform how you see life. And winning at life is all about how you see life.

Are you complaining and still making excuses?? Do you think luck exists and blesses others but not you?? Are you worried about what the future holds for you?? Take control of your life by growing in better habits. Give a better example. Love yourself. Build your best life. Create your own existence.

About falling in love

Let it go, beautiful. The worries. The fears. The insecurities. And all that weighs you down. Nothing is as bad as the overthinking mind makes it out to be. Love the new colors, enjoy the new tastes, and appreciate the excitement your heart feels.

Leave the past behind. After all, who you were and what happened to you is gone. Dear, be kind and fair with yourself; evolve and create yourself, your life, your world now.

Listen to your heart, not to your mind and the anxiety it creates. Be patient and carefully analyze how you feel, what you feel, what you really want and how to get it.

And if you look inside and some pain still lingers there, do not run away from it. Do not judge it. Do not make yourself a victim. Twist that pain, mold that pain, and build steps with it in order to grow and empower yourself.

Sometimes we chain ourselves. Sometimes we live in desperation. Big mistake that slowly withers the soul and kills the will to live. So, rise above this, step out of your mind and see what is out there. Expand your horizons, your chances for happiness.

The heart wants what it wants, just make sure it inspires you and frees you from any anxiety. Darling, life is about loud colors, and extraordinary tastes, and wonderful excitement, and all that which wakes the rebel in you.

Because it’s all about that beautiful rebel, the one who dares love again and again, the one who sees the chains and manipulations out there, the one who changes things instead of letting things change them.

And when you fall in love, make sure you stay there. And when you find someone that inspires you to love yourself, vanish all your fears and insecurities to make room for them. Love the new colors, enjoy the new tastes, and appreciate the excitement your heart feels.
