Real power.

The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

~ Vince Lombardi

What makes our lives…??

What makes us be who we are…??

Even if we do not want to be what we are, why are we what we are…??

The greatest mistake of people is to allow themselves to be guided by their circumstances and/or situations. Most of us carry ourselves and our habits, our moral compass and the ways to see life, according to how we feel in the moment. But how we feel in the moment will pass. Falling in love, that passion felt at first, this will pass; and it will require your commitment and loyalty to make the relationship work more than the passion felt. And how about good nutrition…?? If you are used to eating unhealthily since youth, then you will eat unhealthily in your older years; because your mind is used to eating as in youth.

This is why you begin training your mind in loyalty and commitment now, so relationships will work no matter what happens in your life. And about eating, the same. You begin training your mind in health rather than flavor now, so later in your more mature years you will greatly avoid problems for lack of health. Out of all these moral habits you built then, your mind becomes stronger, more expanded into intelligence and understanding of morality, and you enjoy life much more, and happiness joins you along your life’s journey. And that is what we all want, isn’t it…?? In this way, or in the other way, we all want happiness.

See, the real power, the real capacity to be great, is not in your situations, in where you were born, in the childhood you had, or in the fluctuations of this immoral society; but it is in you, because your mind is the creator of all you experience. If you drink alcohol, you chose to put poison in your body; so your mind will give you your experiences accordingly. If you choose to see your life in a negative way, your mind will give you more negativity in your life. Your mind is a magnet for whatever you experience in life. So, to remain aware of what you do daily is to watch carefully what you accept as your mind’s content. Your habits become what and who you are.

The opportunity

What is truly needed for joy…??

What are the obstacles to feel joy or happiness…??

Who is deserving of these…??

I hope your holidays are going well. I always think that everything is better if we remain grateful, for anything, for being alive, for our past, for our family, for whatever. Just find something inspiring. We are creatures of habit, and happiness is a habit. Yes, it is true that happiness lies within ourselves; however, you must be able to behave accordingly. For example, if you argue and distance yourself from your family or loved ones, then your mind will fill itself with anger and frustration. If this happens, then your habit is being angry and frustrated; and you can’t expect to truly be happy this way.

What about not eating properly….?? Food is very important. The way we eat. What we eat. If your habit here lacks health, then you will feel heavy, depressed, sick. Happiness, joy, energy to live the best life. They won’t appear in your experience. So, we are all deserving of a good life, of joy, of happiness; but it is not automatic, you have to develop good habits. This means living your life accordingly. I don’t have to explain further what it means. You know what is healthy and good for your life. You know what is not healthy and good for your life. I hope.

So, always remember that being happy, having the capacity to enjoy and bring that capacity to use, is about our habits; that is, habits of self-control, of compassion, of understanding without anger and frustration. “A man is what he repeatedly does. Excellence is then a habit,” said one famous Greek philosopher. I live that, because I aim to journey this life in happiness. This should be your aim as well, because life is the opportunity for us to become better and even make the life of others better by our example. Thanks for reading.

Life’s purpose.

 

8dc6df0c4a91d95802145dbafdf89584

 

Your life is the product of your mind and the habits it transforms into daily behaviors.  If your mind has to worry about something, be focused on something, practice something as habit, let it be your own self-development in all aspects–beginning from the right nutrition and exercise.

Demand the best for yourself, the best life, the best blessings, by actually creating the best yourself.  And do not seek excuses like “I am too old and set in my ways,” and “The people around me does not support me.”  If you seek to be a better person, begin from leaving those stupid excuses you carry everywhere you go.

The road to being an awakened individual, a greater human being, a person of high moral values, is not as easy as saying so or reading scriptures.  Become better by adopting better, greater, more inspiring, and healthier habits.  Life’s purpose is not doing for others.  Life’s purpose is giving a great example to others by becoming yourself better in your habits.

Being in a good mood.

 

guard-your-good-mood-quote-1

 

Being in a good mood is being positive, even in the face of something you do not like.  Being in a good mood means to focus on the positive side of your life.  Being in a good mood is to choose inspiring conversations and ignoring mediocre ones which do not serve you.

Being in a good mood is to give your time to people and situations in life without letting your mind be affected by any toxicity.  And to be in a good mood you must keep your mind fit, healthy, truthful; and without self-deceit and self-neglect.

To be in a good mood watch entertaining and inspiring movies which give you better mental vibrations.  To be in a good mood choose good music as well.  And to keep yourself in a good mood develop greater habits daily, inspiring and creative habits which strengthen your unique character.

To truly love and feel loved.

 

433e45bb526cc6925b57c24599f36a51

 

In order to truly love, and feel loved, you must accept everything about yourself.  Come to terms with your past, however ugly and unfair.

Accept that you made mistakes and welcome the lessons.  Accept that others made mistakes or behaved badly towards you, forgive and move on.

Be open emotionally and recognize your own blindness and the fact that you must acknowledge absolutely everything you feel, whether it is miserable or joyful.  Do not fear or escape how you feel.

Understand that you have to create good habits, discipline yourself, in order to have more opportunities in all aspects of life.  Do not limit yourself and feel sad because you see that you cannot be successful at something in particular now.

To love others, to have a great and prosperous relationship and life, you have to love yourself wholly.  This means to know every thought, every feeling, conscious and subconscious, that you have in each moment you are alive.

The Habits of The Strong.

1200px-Shukracharya_and_Kacha

One cowardly person came to a master of martial arts and asked to teach him bravery.  The master looked at him and said, “I will teach you only with one condition:  for one month you will have to live in a big city and tell every person that you meet on your way that you are a coward.  You will have to say it loudly, openly and looking straight into the person’s eyes.”
This person got really sad, because this task seemed very scary to him.  For a couple of days he was very sad and thoughtful, but to live with his cowardice was so unbearable that he traveled to the city to accomplish his mission anyway.  At first, when meeting the passers, he quailed, lost his speech and couldn’t contact anyone; but he needed to finish the master’s task, so he began to overcome himself.  When he came up to his first passer to tell about his cowardice, it seemed to him that he would die from fear–he was trembling, anxious, and even feeling some physical pain out of his mental fear.  But then his voice sounded louder and more confident with every passing day.  Suddenly came a moment, when the man caught himself thinking that he wasn’t scared anymore; and the further he continued doing the master’s task, the more convinced he was that the fear was abandoning him for good.

That way a month had passed.  The once-cowardly person came back to the master, bowed to him and said, “Thank you, master. I finished your task.  Now I’m not afraid anymore.  But how did you know that this strange task will help me…??” 
The wise teacher smiled and said, “The thing is that cowardice is only a habit.  And by doing the things that scare us, we can destroy the stereotypes and come to a conclusion that is actually real of who we truly are.  And now you know that bravery is also a habit.  And if you want to make bravery a part of yourself, you need to move forward into the fear.  Then the fear will go away, and bravery will take its place.”

So, remind yourself always that habits shape who you are as a human being.  As a spiritual being, obviously, you are perfect–strong, determined, wise, confident, talented.  But as a human being only good, thoughtful and serious habits can mold you into this superior human being filled with confidence and bravery to do anything you desire with a good heart.

So, pay attention to what you do from the moment you wake up to the moment you close your eyes to sleep, be disciplined, do what makes your ego uncomfortable, do what is right for your growth and not what you desire on a stupid whim…  Beat your fears.  They are just thoughts…

To a better life.

“I think if you stop bad habits, and you stop long enough, you develop good habits.”  ~ Jordan Knight; American singer-songwriter and actor.

“The key to forming good habits is to make them part of your ‘rituals.’  I have a morning ritual, afternoon ritual, and Sunday ritual.   It’s one way to bundle good habits into regular times that you set aside to prepare yourself for the life you want. Rituals help you form habits.”  ~ Lewis Howes; American author, entrepreneur, former professional Arena League football player, and social media expert.


The mind is the seat of all that we do, better put, ‘the seat of all habit;’ and so, most habits are done subconsciously, our minds conditioned since birth, but in order to make those subconscious habits conscious we must self-reflect, inquire within ourselves and watch how we feel and think, analyze our daily behaviors with conscience before doing them.

26169631_407890832977618_7609864089813573201_n
In order to create a good and truly happy life, and in order to create a successful and unique one, good thoughts and intentions are not enough; that is to say, good thoughts and intentions are important, but if you do not act on them, if you do not change your behaviors, is because your lazy ego, which does not like to get out of its comfort zone, is still ruling you and your life.

Good daily habits and a strong, healthy mind go hand in hand, and these are the cornerstones upon which all good actions in life are built; and so, you cannot be truly awaken if good habits and a strong, healthy mind do not dictate your behaviors daily.

You cannot be truly awaken just because you have good knowledge and deep thoughts, but these should be carried in your daily habits as well, otherwise they are null, void, an illusion of great and ego-centered activity.

Create good habits by analyzing yourself and your daily steps, understand that this process must be taken seriously in order for real and great change to come your way, and be conscious about each step you take:

Developing+skills+for+change +Creating+a+personal+plan

The road to being truly great in life must be reality, built facts which speak of your superior and wiser awakening; but a nice thought, a nice belief, deep knowledge, deep conversations, etc., these are not reality, these are not facts.

Thus, actions, real change, good behaviors which build and create, which mold and sculpt you like a masterpiece to make your life a masterpiece as well, yes, this is reality, these are facts you can trust for happiness and success.

The golden steps.

“Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.”  ~ Shawn Achor; American happiness researcher, author, and motivational speaker.

 

Humanity tends to fall into the trap of society and so follow the mediocrity they so proudly parade everywhere, and then this same humanity complains about this and that and the lack of happiness.  The road to mediocrity is easy, but it is not what we are here for.  Unless one really cares about happiness, one is not going to get even near being happy in life; because there are steps to happiness, and once you introduce them to yourself and these same steps become a part of you, then you enjoy them and love the change.  And so that is when happiness or bliss starts to become you and fill your whole being, and thus you start waking up each morning eager to commence your day and face the challenges of it.

habits-for-success
When healthy habits are introduced in the individual, they become part of us and the steps to reach our goals and dreams. But these steps must be enjoyed all the way, otherwise there won’t be any real commitment to this healthy habits and we will weaken on the steps. It is like drinking water with salt to satiate your thirst, you will drink but it will give you more thirst and the frustration that comes along with the nagging feeling.

Our habits shape us, what we do every single day is what we create; so, if you watch TV and complain about the world all day you will develop a lazy and obnoxious behavior, if you read inspiration and work diligently then you will develop passion for success and a determination to not give up in the face of challenges.

Life is not that complicated, we tend to make it complicated because we resist to change and to challenges; and when we do this, stress and fears enter our mind, doubt and procrastination become us, we cower and shrink before the steps to the extraordinary achievements that we could otherwise accomplish.

Then in order to be our very best, motivate ourselves and even motivate the people we come in contact with, there must be harmony, consistency, and vision in what we do. This means that whenever you start your day, you must envision your goals (your goals for the day and for years from now). For example: You want to start your own business, then imagine your life and the steps to take towards that goal; therefore, start waking up early and making plans (this should be your routine and should become your day to the day habit, start saving money for whatever expenses your business will need (even $10 dollars a month or the minimum in your national currency; this will tell your mind that you are determinate to succeed and it will strengthen your habit to be a self-confident individual), etc.

Little things like this, which sometimes do not seem important because we only see the big goal, will construct your vision into reality through time, through patience and perseverance.

Remember, the focus one gives daily to small habits or details builds empires and great success through perseverance.
