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.

Out of comfort

A game to be discovered

Life is its own experience in you. Life is the constant feeling in you. There is no more to life than this. The economy. Politics. Friendships. The ups and downs. The chaos and also joy in the daily events. It is all a game that we have to discover how to play.

Because all is our minds. The way we choose to analyze our experiences. Everything is a test, and everything requires deeper understanding. So to explode and get upset, to lose control and even victimize ourselves, is all pointless and it doesn’t really help.

Always search more

That is why everything must be questioned and analized with clarity of mind. If you must gain knowledge outside your comfort zone–outside your beliefs, outside your mindset, outside your routines–then seek that knowledge. Because knowledge expands your mind.

In any aspect of your life, when stuck, when suffering, when feeling lost, always seek knowledge first. The search for knowledge keeps you busy, it shakes you out of your comfort zone, and it gives you confidence in you own potential.

Books. Videos. Podcasts. Documentaries. Whatever it is. Get out of your own head, out of your own self-pity, and empower yourself. Don’t remain attached to feelings of failure, to thoughts of negativity, to stubborn beliefs and habits. Expand the understanding of your own life.

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.

A better approach

A better approach

Composure and emotional control. There are things we cannot control, events we cannot even see coming, and tragedies we cannot avoid. It is pointless to argue and whine about it, and even more pointless to victimize ourselves and stay angry at the world.

Assume a better approach. Ease your mind. Strengthen yourself by controlling your thoughts, your reactions, and your expectations. Tell yourself that nothing is a given, that anything can happen, and that you are okay with any outcome. Because it is about relaxing your mind and adapting to the situation.

Whatever the event. Whatever the loss. Whatever the tragedy. Whatever the injustice. Move on. Detach yourself from any strong desire, need, expectation. If to be happy means anything is freedom. Freedom to let go. Freedom to adapt to whatever life throws at you.

A better mind

If you pursue something–a relationship, a financial situation, a very personal event in your life–do it without attachment. Attachment is born from obsessing over something, from overthinking, from desiring too much, from putting your entire mind, heart, and hope into something.

You could accomplish and have all you want. Absolutely everything in this life. But if your mind does not have freedom, then you really haven’t accomplished anything at all. The freedom to let go and adapt. The freedom to accept and move on. This is the source of all happiness.

You hold the key

It is about your growth

Never regret your past. Whatever it was, embrace it instead. If it is a painful past, let go of your pride and self-pity; then allow yourself to learn from it, and use what you learn to increase your understanding of yourself, of others, and of life.

If it is a happy past, cherish the memories. Don’t expect it to come back, and don’t hold on to the feeling with obsession; but let it go, observe from a distance, and use the good in it to bring you a mindset of love and positivity.

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.

No Right or Wrong

Darling, the way I love is not the way you love, and that is what makes it exciting and new. Just know that without the excitement and the new, you will slowly lose beauty and wither. And keep those hidden and unique dreams alive.

Don’t drown out your fantasies. Don’t drown out your dreams. Gift those feelings your full attention, instead of allowing what is proper, or right, or expected in society to dictate your present, your actions, your future.

No one is a full saint. No one is a full devil. Understand that love, beauty, happiness, and the joy of an exciting and well-lived life is based on balance, not on extremes. Seek whatever, and whomever, inspires balance in you.

There is no right or wrong way. There are only opinions, philosophies, rules, thoughts and beliefs on what is better, on what is good, on what is the best for you. Ignore all of it, as if you were a newborn learning about yourself, about life.

The secret rests on your capacity to bloom, at your own pace, in your own way; because each flower and its fragrance is unique, and so are you. Darling, the way I love is not the way you love, and that is what makes it exciting and new.

The Heaviest…

Denial

There is something heavy upon the soul who seeks self-improvement, love, happiness, freedom to be him/herself. There is such a thing as judging yourself based on your past, based on who you were, based on the burdens you may carry.

This is not self-love, but self-denial. Denying who you are. Ignoring who you are to remain attached to who you were. This denial is the heaviest burden, because it is deceitful. You are a moment in evolution, this moment.

Just observe

Life is moment after moment after moment. You are but one moment, which means the only burden guiding human beings to failure is the attachment to the past. You were is gone. You are is now. You will be is about who you are now.

There is no burden like this one, the one your mind creates and brings upon you making it real. Just observe who you were, smile at the experience whatever it was, and detach yourself from it. How??

Detach yourself from it by loving who you are now, which means forgiving and letting go who you were. Because the only freedom you can get lies in the you who is now. The person you are now cannot remain tainted with the person who you were/with all the screaming remnants from the past.

A New Way

The easy path

It’s easy to remain the victim. It’s easy to harden your heart. It’s easy to hold on to the pain, the sorrow, and to the injustice of the past. It’s easier to lock yourself and hide from what’s new and unknown to you.

Because you instinctively seek self-preservation, don’t you?? Yes, the mind has a way to seek the easy path, to stay on what you know, and to mask your pain. It is a vicious cycle that consumes you and your life.

The discovery

Unless you break that cycle and take off your mask by welcoming the unknown into your life. That’s how you evolve, progress, and discover yourself. You cannot do it by choosing to stay safe in your cocoon.

Love, if true, is a discovery. It moves you from within. Then it moves you from without, in your choices, in your actions. It moves you to do new things, to challenge yourself, to create a new path that may scare you a bit.

The Courage that comes…

Yes, a new life that you, deep inside, really want but feels overwhelming right now. And it is why true love, true happiness, requires courage. This courage comes not from analyzing and thinking obsessively.

No, this courage comes from new choices, new actions, from letting go of your past, letting go of the fear, letting go of the intellectual persona you always adopt to mask your pain.

A new mind

Letting go you discover so much more about yourself, about who you really are. Believe me, nothing is as beautiful as freedom. To be able to let go and not take yourself and that pain you carry so seriously all the time.

The truth is that your mind is useless if it is allowed to hold on to memories, because discovering a new life, a new love, requires a new mind, a new mindset. So, open your mind and your heart to the mystery, to the unknown, to the new in life.

To Whom it May Concern

What happens

We all have been through it. But nothing beats perseverance and an open mind, which is a mind that is not drowning in its own sorrows. Things can be rough, yes. Heart might be broken.

Something vital to us unexpectedly comes to an end. Problems always happen, especially when we least expect it. But nothing is too big for us to handle, if we stop the needy and stressed mind we carry.

Strength or weakness…??

All those negative and victimizing voices we have. The mind is priority, because that is essentially life–just a projection of our mental state. And because life is merely a projection of my mental state, when some event I cannot control happens is all about the strength or weakness I carry.

Or all about that strength or weakness I allow my mind to carry through my chosen mindset. Still, it takes patience, a lot of empathy and understanding with and of myself/with and of my mind/with and of the ways my mind is programmed to work.

Choose your creativity

Because we may carry loads and loads of burdens we don’t even know. Burdens that before we never even felt. Denials too. And all this, when in conflict, makes our minds so little and petty.

And when my mind is little and petty it attaches itself to my creativity in the most negative way possible. That creativity is there to help us through it, but if our minds are not really self-aware and ignore the programs they carry then it seems like our world is falling.

Mind/Body/Oneness

This happened to me several times in my past, and I’m sure it did to you as well. The problem really is letting your mind get swallowed by the burden you carry, thus allowing your creativity to create all these petty doomsday scenarios.

Because nothing is as bad as it seems to our imaginative minds. Again, your life, your experience of it, is just a projection of your mental state. But you must understand too, that your mind and your body are really one.

You cannot take care of your mind while ignoring your body. It really doesn’t work that way. So, no matter your age, or your personal opinion, or the opinions of society, do not expect your life to get better if your mind and body are not One/in tune with one another.
