Your power/Your value

Aware of people

I think this is very personal and it goes with the unique experience you have in life. But it is crucial to remain aware of the people you trust, because sometimes people may ignore your feelings or abuse your good will. There is no evil people per se out there, but there is indeed highly ignorant people everywhere.

Nature of progress

Forgiving is of the better human being, because it is letting go of frustration and anger, of feelings of betrayal and neglect to move on with your life, to create a better you. But, having established this better nature of progress, the first thing is self-respect.

See your true value

Respect yourself enough to say “no more” or “I deserve better”. And this self-respect begins the moment you see your true value and stop leaning on others for love and happiness, for acceptance and approval. Free yourself. Awaken yourself.

The wisest path

Photo by Frans van Heerden on Pexels.com

Priority

Taking care of ourselves has to be top priority. Think about it?? How can you think clearly if you surround yourself with negative people or negative situations?? Or how can you be healthy of mind and body if you eat lots of junk food and whatever you crave without thinking what it does to you first??

And what about staying really late at night and not getting a good sleep?? If you want to feel positive, strong, confident and ready to ask the best from you, then you must become disciplined in self-care. It must become a set program in your mind, habits of excellence you can follow and enjoy.

New belief

Forget what others say. It is not selfish. Taking care of ourselves is the most intelligent thing we can do. Taking care of ourselves gives us direction, structure, motivation, inspiration to pursue our goals, and it makes us attractive.

And it must become a belief in you. A self-belief. The most important opinion, philosophy, habit we create for ourselves. It is what creates leadership in us. And it is the base of all greatness we can achieve from that same leadership.

Mental routines…

Mental routine and depressive states

One of the greatest, and also most tragic, things of the mind is that it creates a routine, it gets used to a thought, a feel, a lifestyle. So, it happens that if you are raised a certain way, or told you’re not good enough, then your mind will start making it a reality for you.

Or if you lose someone important for you, and the people around you only bring you down and do not try to help you out of depression, your mind will get used to it and spread this depressive state and make you negative in other aspects of life.

And if you are deceived, treated unfairly, cheated on a relationship, then your mind will make you feel ugly, or worthless, or like you have no meaning; and it will make you afraid of other people, distrusful, and even negative regarding a future life.

Change your mental routine

Is love something only somebody else can give me?? Is my worth really given to me by my parents, by academic education, by my past relationships, by the established norms in society?? Why do I actually think and feel the way I do?? Do I constantly feed my self-pity??

What is the point of remaining in this self-victimization state, and how is it helping me to be truly happy and feel successful?? Ask yourself these questions daily. You need only to answer them with honesty and without bias. If you do, then you will rewire your brain and free your mind from the negative routine to thus create a new and better one.

To your advantage…

Beginning the journey

We enter this world empty. The baby does not know his purpose and he doesn’t know about this life. As he grows up, through trial and error, he discovers many things about how to be, how to act, even how to think and feel.

But this shouldn’t stop him from looking into himself once he is an adult. As this adult, he is on his own, so he should master himself, or at least begin his journey to self-mastery. If true love and happiness is to bloom inside him, then life requires him to stop following the influence of the world and look into himself.

Using what you find within

And looking into oneself then can be scary, or it can bring you some discomfort. I know that my childhood, my youth growing up wasn’t perfect; so I lived many losses, heartbreaks and painful things. Sometimes looking inside oneself as an adult can move and bring to the surface all that pain or burden that we have from childhood.

All the hidden, subconscious trauma and personal issues we may carry around. But to get better, to heal, to move on and better your life, you must dig all this and bring it to the surface of your conscious so you can use it as strength. Painful trauma, or any negative memory we carry, is energy. Knowing how to use this energy to our advantage is the responsibility of each one of us.

Something special…

Something personal (very special)

Intelligence is something personal, something you develop, and it has little to do with any education. Education is learning the already established knowledge in society and in your family’s traditions and beliefs. Intelligence comes with personal observation.

Intelligence goes far beyond knowledge. Intelligence requires sensitivity, the capacity to project yourself into the experience of somebody else (great empathy), which, obviously, is something knowledge does not give you.

The many in society (not special)

Knowledge helps you thrive in society, because the systems in it are based on knowledge, on how to do this and that to climb to the top levels (it offers the achievement of pleasures). The systems in society are rigid, so it is just about following and copying, going to school and allowing influences out there to guide you through the systems.

Nothing special about knowledge. But intelligence is calmly, personally observing, instead of just reacting and answering through the knowledge and beliefs you have acquired. It is why most people lack intelligence. And it is why intelligence belongs only to the few and not to the many.

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.

The unique journey

Photo by Stefan Stefancik on Pexels.com

Different points of view

People have different opinions. That’s all it is, opinions, ways of understanding and perceiving life and all things in it. From a simple conversation to a book review to a terrible war. That is what humankind suffers, which is the attachment to their own views and opinions.

Never let the philosophies, views, opinions, suggestions of others affect you–this includes all politics and politicians, society’s established ways to see things, religion, family, friends. We are all shaped by our experiences, and we must listen to our hearts and be guided by empathy and our dreams.

Waking up

Life is a journey to become more and more awake, which is to learn and experience without letting the world influence us. New dreams, hopes, challenges can help us in waking up; however, if we allow the misery, the prejudice, the injustice of the world to make us miserable, then we won’t find the strength to build ourselves anew.

It’s all about focusing on yourself, working on yourself. What do I need to change?? What are the best habits that lead me to health and happiness?? Let go of others and what they think is right or wrong. Do not believe and follow blindly what others say, whoever they are. Thinking for yourself is the only way to wake up.

Using time wisely.

Time is limited

The time we have is all we get. Living in past memories, past hurt, the expectations of others, carrying all this guilt and negativity about some believed failure. Nothing good comes from all this. It’s of value to always remind ourselves that time is precious, and that we are here to be happy by moving on with something that makes us feel worth, success, happiness.

Nothing is a failure if you don’t let it be.

That’s very real. Failure is just a label, a belief, a philosophy put into your mind by family, friends, society in general. The only thing that is true is the belief in yourself. And when you believe in yourself everything becomes a learning lesson, not some failure.

When you truly believe in yourself you do not give up or become sad about not accomplishing something. Life is full of lessons. Believe in yourself throughout life and you will see the lessons.

The Light of Pure Love.

Loving with purity

You only get hurt when the way you love has attachment. Pure love has no attachment. To love with this purity, you must first love yourself above everybody and anything else. Pure love then only exists when there is higher understanding in you.

An understanding that the very existence of pure love in your life is only created by you, strengthened by you, and sanctified by you. The world suffers from lack of this higher understanding. Don’t join the world. Live in it, but don’t join it.

Problems when loving yourself

Our love is not pure, not true, non-existent, when we allow our minds to become overwhelmed by the world around us. If something bad happens, the mind is allowed to suffer for it, via self-pity, via anger and frustration. This distorts love and it shifts our attention to the illusion, and the illusion is what is out there. What matters is what is inside you, because how you feel is what’s real.

Feeling better

The journey is about self-discovery. Self-discovery cannot exist without our complete attention. So, we have to let go of what happens in the world, in our lives, the suffering, the childhood traumas, etc; and then we can focus 100% on how we feel, on working on feeling better, on self-discovery and healing. Once we do this, we can start to accept and love ourselves.

The habits

There is nothing more important than accepting and loving ourselves. This is not being selfish, but this is about filling yourself with empathy, kindness, love, in order to live a more positive, happy, successful life while giving the example to others. And for this, we must work on self-healing habits. Habits which make us feel proud of ourselves, joyful, and of great value to us.

I only seek the magic that’s within me.  While most grow up and forget, I just desire to remember it again.

The mind of good & evil.

Forces of evil

So, what do you consider forces of evil…?? What makes a person become swallowed by negativity, by feelings of worthlessness, by violent and hurtful memories and ideas in the present?? What makes a human being do anything??

Our minds. Nothing lives outside our minds. This is not spiritual. This is science. My mind can become filled with anxiety, thoughts of fear, anger, past memories that make me feel worthless. And this, of course, makes me act out and hurt myself and others–physical and/or emotional damage. I would do anything to get rid of the pain I carry.

Forces of good

So, I think is very important to be honest with ourselves. There are pressures in society. Bullying. Paying bills. Abuse. Words that hurt. Injustice. They will always exist in the world, and it won’t change. So, the truth is, what matters is the state of your mind, what you can control. Don’t let the world, your society, your friends and family overwhelm you and control the way you feel.

It is why creativity liberates us. Creativity being born from great imagination. It is the force of good that gives us the capacity to have inspiring ideas to leave the anger we feel, and the strength to find solutions to our troubles, and the power to communicate better the way we feel. Ben is learning this. Who is Ben?? A 12-year-old orphan boy. But, just like us, he feels all these burdens, confusions, darkness, and the desire to burn it all.
