It’s very important to always be yourself and not fall into the anxiety, the game, the struggle of trying to be liked by others. What is true here is that people who truly care about you will accept you for who you are, without you having to deny yourself and pretend to be someone you’re not just to please their egos.
Being lonely is always having to put on an act, to seek to be liked by others, to please others and neglect who you really are deep inside. When you try to be false and pretend just to be liked, then you lose self-awareness, then you lose respect and love for yourself.
This, in time and unbeknownst to you, leads to feelings of worthlessness and self-pity. So, be always honest with yourself, be authentic in your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Do not let the crowd lead you, but you lead yourself.

Dreams, desires for better, high aspirations in life. This is required to have for any person to love his/her life. If the person lacks this, then all sorts of anxiety, self-hatred and fears swallow the mind entirely. And then we fall into depression, and into dark thoughts that change our whole perspective of ourselves and life.
This easily leads to thoughts of suicide as well. So, finding yourself and creating your purpose, at any age, is extremely important, vital even if you truly desire to be happy. But don’t wait for the right person to come along, the right financial times, the right situation to arise.
Seek to be an individual now, reach uniqueness, and let go of anything that makes you feel confused, inadequate, self-conscious and shy, and like you have to compromise yourself in any way to feel true joy. Seek to be free. If it doesn’t feel like absolute freedom, then is not love, and is definitely not true happiness.

Parents mean well, most of the time; however, they can induce in the child their own ideas, beliefs, and ways to go about in life. This, even without the growing child’s knowledge, can really become a burden to the mind. The burden cements into addiction. Addiction even into illness. But the now adult cannot see it, because his programming has been set as the “normal”for him.
Stifling dreams. Creating beliefs and traditions. Patterns of overthinking and impulsive behaviors. Childhood can do this. Parents can do this. Butlife is not the way parents see it, because they have just their opinions and experiences. And you are different, it doesn’t matter what others say. A dead dream becomes easily a dead person inside. Make sure you become alive and aware of your dreams, of your ideas, of your own ways to see life; and thus leave the past taught to you behind.

Lies, deception, cheating, hiding the truth. Even if you call it “a small lie.” All this, besides being immoral and hurting others, builds a subconscious program. In time, it feels normal to lie, even a little. The mind takes your behavior and, without your consent, builds a place for it. This is a real, physiological place in your brain. And now is there. And without you being aware it transforms you.
It becomes a “normal behavior” for you. And once it becomes a normal for you, it slowly cements like an addiction. Of course, for you is not an addiction. For you is harmless, and your normal, and something which has no importance. This makes you lose self-awareness. This blinds you to your own corruption. This is the illusion you build for yourself.
Others can see this corrupted behavior in you, but because it has transformed into your own mental programming you do not see it as corruption. This is why is so important to become aware even of the smallest patterns of thoughts in your mind. Don’t just do things without thinking. Study your own mental programs carefully.

Any good relationship in life, no matter which kind it is, requires that we let go of pride and ego. Any success comes because we are able to look within ourselves, stop the judgmental voices, and then project ourselves in the mind of the other person. No matter how irrational we might think the other person is being we can always try to understand his or her side, and we do this by letting go from the attachment to our side, to our opinions, to our beliefs of how things should be.
Now, forgiveness requires courage, uniqueness, and a person who is willing to let go and move on, relaxed and easygoing. And so, forgiveness is the trait of the better person. The better person is the one who seeks great success in relationships and in life in general. Forgiveness is about you and your inner power to let go of pride and ego. And when you find that inner power, then you become happier, more attractive, and more able to love yourself and others.

The strength to keep ourselves positive. The motivation to keep going even in the face of difficulties. The inspiration to lift ourselves and keep on dreaming and pursuing those dreams. Where do you get it?? What do you do to feel this accomplished in life??
I find that most of the time it is just there. The inspiration is just waiting to be discovered. In the little things, like in a pet, like in a song, like in a walk through the park, like in our family, like in happy memories. While the mind is concerned with the negative happening in our lives, we have anxiety and we miss the little things in life. While the mind is focused on winning and on being better, we bring tension into ourselves.
As a writer, it can get hectic and difficult to find motivation and inspiration, and even to find the time to write and give my undivided attention to what I’m creating. But so is life. The richness lies in these challenges of the day-to-day. And if we can remind ourselves of that, then we may just stop overthinking, step back and relax; then perhaps focus on the motivation and inspiration needed to continue and feel great while doing it.
All my books are about the magic of self-discovery, and the struggle we all face to find ourselves. Benjamin Jones is an orphan boy who is going through just that. And he will find out how much more he really is.

Sometimes we can feel sad, frustrated, disappointed. But being sad and seeingthe unfairness in life is normal, because we all go through it, and because we are all trying to do our best with whatever understanding we have at such moment. But the challenge is to keep going in spite of feeling like this, and the key is nurturing yourself.
See, life is a projection of how you feel about yourself. We feel about life just the way we feel about ourselves. So then we can understand how important selfcare is. Tell yourself that things change and that adaptation to change is taking care of your mental health. If you don’t adapt to change, then you fight change; however, if you fight change then you will become stressed and more frustrated, even angry at yourself.

What keeps you joyful in a relationship is not love. Love is always there,whether you like it or not; and you don’t have to really do anything to love and be loved. “Falling in love” and “Falling out of love” are just concepts from a society with no clue of what love is.
What keeps the joy and harmony in a relationship is attention and the formula of attraction. Why many relationships fail is due to losing attention to each other and, basically, not understanding the formula to grow attraction. Attention and attraction are created by the mind, which is why these are always the ones in charge.
The most important thing is to tame your mind, to teach it to focus on the affection and on the attractive traits. This will increase attention and attractiveness in your mind, and slowly this will transform any flaws and negative traits you see in the other. It’s all about the mind. Once you rule over your mind, then all is well.
Reading time. New adventures. New worlds. New characters.

Everything and anything that enters the mind must be studied, discovered, analyzed and recognized as true or untrue. Does it come from tradition?? Is it a belief, an opinion, a pattern of thinking and feeling that has been created by other people for me to follow blindly??
Do I have real facts that I can prove for it?? Is it rational, logical, real; or is it just my thought and desire for it?? Is it based on anger, frustration, loneliness, lack of identity?? Is it actually helping me grow in the understanding of myself and life, or is it just another illusion believed by billions of empty souls around the world?? Ask yourself all this without making excuses.
Society, and all its systems around the globe, creates illusions to keep on feeding the ego and its emptiness. The economy. The way one should feel and act in certain situations. Traditions. Cultures. The many religions. Politics and its superiority complex. The way everything is romanticized. Fanaticism in all level. Every reality is replaced or buried by a quick illusion that makes people feel less empty.
In consequence, people follow their abominations with a smile, claiming to have the truth and attached to their blind stupidity. Each group does this without even understanding. But only learning to think for yourself will help you see through this abomination.

“Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.”
― Rumi
Everything and anything creative expands your mental capacities, which means it expands your awareness in life. Life, in all aspects of it, requires creativity. If you have problems in relationships, creativity gives you the insight to understand better ways to approach the problem. If you experience challenging times financially, creativity lessens your emotional burdens and helps you see another way to motivate you and inspire you to move forward.
And whatever we are, as human beings, must be creative. Most people do not respect each other, they bully others, they live angry and frustrated, they become stubborn and set in their old ways. All things happen because the mind lacks that creative expansion, that creative awareness. I have found that in my life creativity has led me to write, inspire myself, seek to be better than I was yesterday in mind and body. I write stories to inspire myself and others. It’s a very important way to express myself, develop myself, and share myself with the world.
Having established that thought, I wanted to show you my new book’s cover. I am working on new covers for my books, fiction and nonfiction. And, while I still work on #3 in the series BENJAMIN JONES, here is the finished painting for #1 and next to it is the finished book cover design for the same. So, this is “BENJAMIN JONES – The Call of The Shaman,” #1 in the epic series.
The story is about an orphan boy who seeks to discover himself and the world. His parents have died in a very mysterious way, and now he has been ignored by his people (indigenous people) and doomed to live in an orphanage. He will meet new friends, set out on an adventure, find out his shamanic legacy, discover that he is much more than he ever thought. But this will bring consequences, because there are dark forces seeking to destroy his light. Terrible creatures following him. Many challenges to become who he is meant to be.
These series of books focus on the narrative, on the description of how he thinks and feels mostly; because this is about his journey of self-discovery. Life is about how we feel, because the experiences that we live daily are really about how we feel. So, this is BENJAMIN JONES journey to become a god, as he will uncover mysteries and how especial he is. He will discover that there is an ancient demigod living inside him. Check it out and enjoy a good read:
