Self-help life truths. The free mind of a human god!

Thinking positively.

“It’s really important that you feel good.  Because this feeling good is what goes out as a signal into the universe and starts to attract more of itself to you.  So the more you can feel good, the more you will attract the things that help you feel good and that will keep bringing you up higher and higher.”  ~ Joe Vitale; American life coach, teacher, and Law of Attraction author.


“Whether you think you can or think you can’t, either way you are right.”  ~ Henry Ford; American captain of industry, business magnate–the founder of the Ford Motor Company, and the sponsor of the development of the assembly line technique of mass production.



Impossible things to accomplish and irrational fears are created by the human mind, and the human mind is tied and under the influence of time and space (thoughts only exist because there is time and space, and vice versa); and time and space, as we all can understand, are not eternal realities, they are constructs which help develop our humanity, but they remain as chains because for as long as time and space exists, for as long as we have a human mind and decaying flesh, as awakened as one can be, there will always exist fear and doubt.  Something which is not an eternal reality brings duality, and duality brings all fear and doubt.

So, allowing your mind to be positive and to desire for the best to come to you without overthinking–because overthinking brings doubt and fear–is to live without resistance, it is to flow with what is, it is to step out of your thoughts, out of your own head and accept whatever comes to you.
When you do this, your heart and your positive mindset become powerful magnets in attracting better opportunities and people to you; however, concealing and entertaining negative thinking, confusion, doubt, and the feelings which come with it, make you a repellent for better things and a magnet for what you fear might happen.

Obviously it is extremely hard to remain positive and appreciative of life when you have all these pressures daily, but if your life is to get better you must do this and stay patiently with it; therefore, you must be diligent in your new views of a healthier thinking, and bring those thoughts and feelings into your daily behavior as well.

Spiraling With No End.

“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” ~ Tony Robbins; American author, entrepreneur, philanthropist and life coach.


“You control your future, your destiny.  What you think about comes about.  By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands–your own.”  ~ Mark Victor Hansen; American inspirational and motivational speaker, trainer and author.



Destiny

I kept the repeating question encased in pure gold,
Foolishly I tried to make sense of it as it grew in me;
I felt alone, confused, running lost in the winter cold.
Where was I going…?? What was I to be…??

I heard the cry of sheep and the howl of wolf.
Hadn’t I walked too long…?? Didn’t I deserve more…??
The moon was whispering to me about love
While my wings were broken and I couldn’t soar.

But the whispers were astoundingly sweet in my ear,
And were magically transforming my broken heart;
They spoke about absolute creation without fear,
They spoke about commitment from the start.

The moon told me about her love for the sun,
About the true essence of love between them,
How in spite of the distance they were One,
How their destinies shone together like a gem.

I again heard the cry of sheep, the howl of wolf to be.
I had to choose my destiny and renounce all fear.
The whisper was clear, it answered the question in me:
I created my destiny with the essence of love most dear.

 Spiraling With No End
My days were rainy and sad as I walked onwards to destiny,
Around me minds were conditioned to follow and compare;
The nuisance of their words, the ignorance without empathy,
The money schemes, the greed and jealousy stare.
And there seemed to be no return, as this was life,
And my mind was agitated, pressures to meet expectation;
The doorway was cold, heartless, Spiraling With No End,
Was this my life…??  Was this the lesson…??
The neighbors would rush past my chaotic mornings,
My family would become silent to my treacherous indifference,
My mind was in heavy fog and I couldn’t see the warnings,
Blinded by the Spiraling With No End in illogical defiance;
Was this my destiny as I had become this petty human being…??
Was this what my heart was destined to be, closed and sad…??
But it takes inward communion for the truth to be seen,
I had to stop my thinking and rushing day for myself to be glad.
To be truly awakened to the truth of me and the lies of society,
I need not to be taken by the inhumanity of the popular crowd;
To wallow in madness was every damn day to fall in anxiety,
To be myself now is to love each moment I live, happy and proud.

You are the Creator of your own destiny, not the stars, not any philosophy, not other people.  Never allow anyone to tell you differently.

Self-help life truths. The free mind of a human god!

Out of your head.

“All lives have triumphs and tragedies, laughter and tears, and mine has been no different. What really matters is whether, after all of that, you remain strong and a comfort to your loved ones. I have tried to meet that test.” ~ Pat Nixon; First Lady of the United States from 1969 to 1974.


“It is not living that matters, but living rightly.” ~ Socrates.



People get so caught up in their heads, in their problems, in their ideas not being recognized, in their obsessions, that they forget to live each moment with joy and understanding.

The value we can find in living the moment with integrity and comprehension cannot be compared with anything else; and that is because your life’s wealth is not in what you pursue or even in what you can fix of a certain problem with much work and dedication, but it is in each moment which you live mindfully by knowing that you do your best and that you do it unselfishly.

d07fde8d754f7933ae027bb9b877819e

And being present also means being thankful for what you have and for the people around you; this is the best and the only way you find the true value in life.  Because, even though society may bombard us with “buy this, buy that,” “Go to church and praise some bearded lunatic up in the skies,” “Get married and have lots of kids,” “Work hard and make lots of money,” and all this garbage, what truly matters is that you live rightly and to the best of yourself so you can give the best example.

It is extremely important that you can see the truth in this, and that you can be free to stay in the truth and get out of your own head.  Leave the stress and the problems and live in the moment, in reality, knowing that the true experience of life’s value is in the Now.

“Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.” ~ Omar Khayyam; Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet.

One with it.

“We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.” ~ Helen Keller; American author, political activist, and lecturer.


“You learn more from losing than winning, more from pain than joy.” You learn how to keep going.” ~ Morgan Wootten; American former high school basketball coach.



It is extremely important to develop ourselves and vital for true happiness in life to self-reflect and know our deepest selves, our darkness as well as our light, our pain as well as our joy.

26731505_411642822602419_3637707449312016357_n

Sadly, most people today do not understand that in order to know why something happens in life, you must embrace it, become well acquainted with it, study it closely; and, opposite to this, you must never escape and try to ignore it, specially when it comes to emotional and psychological issues.

The human being suffers pain, and, no matter your unique situation in life or who you are, you must learn to adjust to this; because pain is meant for your mind to analyze it and comprehend it in order to not allow it to destroy you and your dreams.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.  Do not run away from pain through activities, relationships, jobs, religion, travels, and the rest; but stay with pain and learn the lesson in them.  Do not avoid pain and what makes you uncomfortable, but realize that it is a blessing in disguise so you can grow.

Personally, I welcome challenges and pain, because If my father and brother hadn’t died, if my mother hadn’t nearly been killed by my once stepfather, if I hadn’t gone through so many challenges in my life, I wouldn’t have awakened to many wonderful things I see so clearly now, and, of course, I wouldn’t be sharing this with you and trying to help you in your own life.

5892e026ac7f5a1c5267e1d65a8906a5
So, you see, life turns to be wonderful and miraculous once you study and analyze those moments that have caused you so much pain and still anguish.  I hope you can see this, too.

Without stop.

“Death is not the greatest loss in life.  The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.” ~ Norman Cousins; American political journalist, author, professor, and world peace advocate.


“For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.” ~ Khalil Gibran; Lebanese writer, poet, and visual artist.



Time, as a necessary gift our minds create, has been given to us since the first speck of matter was formed, because time is what matter needs to exist; thus, in order for a process of any design, chemical or otherwise, to be given physical trajectory then time is vital, as well as space where events or processes can take place.

feature-image2
So, then time must be considered a gift, a blessing which moves this life forward, the one which allows you to experience everything, and the one which makes it all possible from one second of your life to the next.

This life then should be seen as time to experience and move forward, to develop yourself and your path in pure happiness, not to dwell in misery and suffering; time allows for all these, happiness and misery, and, even though we must embrace both, as both are part of life, there is no wisdom in dwelling in misery or pain more than is needed to learn and move on.

Because when you embrace the time you have and see it as a blessing, then you make everything about love and happiness, you don’t waste time being miserable, and you even make death into a door to a greater state or a graduation ceremony.


26168469_408301046269930_4164354282103538997_n
Death is only seen as the end or as very painful to your own experience if you live your life in attachment, if you only know and enjoy the pleasures of life, and if you crave relationships and material things as possessions/as source of considered happiness; for if you really understand and experience the essence of true happiness and love within yourself, beyond the superficial nonsense of man, then attachment and fear vanishes from your life and you see death as another stepping stone to something greater where you are absolutely free.

The Golden One First.

“Open your eyes, look within.  Are you satisfied with the life you’re living?”  ~ Bob Marley.


“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”  ~ Rumi.


 


We attract what we are.  When our thoughts and intentions, our personalities and views in life, are similar or they resonate with each other then there is harmony, deep connection, and sense of communion which unites us both.  And there is no point then in trying to find the right person or someone who can help us become better, because that is the ego always seeking outside for new experiences and relationships, seeking for something new which can bring entertainment to the emptiness inside.


Seeking without is seeking in the world for whatever we haven’t searched in the inside, it is a way to distance ourselves from the emptiness we fear inside, and it is definitely a way to escape the silence we fear within our true selves.

25660191_404840396615995_129527717028985749_n


People seek all their lives, seek and seek, more shopping, more relationships, more children brought into this world, more traveling, more parties, more noise, add infinitum; however good or bad these may be, these are pleasures of life, and one must recognize in oneself first why are these needed.  Am I seeking out there all these things and experiences because I am empty inside…??  Am I seeking these because I am unhappy and so I want to find happiness and a solution to the problems in my life…??

Maybe the solution to every little dilemma you have in life is within you, literally seeking within, getting used to the silence within, exploring the beyond within.

Ignoring your true self and covering it with relationships and things is just fooling yourself, which is just adding more thick mud to your emptiness and adding to your problems. And by doing this, you are not just damaging yourself further but you are damaging another person brought into your life.

You must love yourself first to love another. You must be successful and happy first to find success and happiness in the world. You must be the right person first to find the right person in the world.

Don’t be ignorant and foolish.  Realize the truth within yourself first.

Vital essence…

“I once asked a bird, how is it that you fly in this gravity of darkness?  She responded, ‘love lifts me’.” ~ Hafiz.


“Love moves without an agenda.  It just moves because that is its nature, ‘to move’.” ~ Adyashanti.



Essence is what permeates and fills the shells which move about in this physical world.  Essence is what makes all possible–the trees, the bees, the flowers, the winds, they eyes that lock into each other when there is attraction, and the burning of the Sun above us.  This is what love is–not romantic, sexual, and the rest.  But the essence of The Great Spirit which is all that is, which exists in the present because it fuels all there is, all that is real.

love-all-of-life
And there is no agendas or purposes for this essence–for how can a self-aware, all-wise entity have any agendas…??  Agendas, purposes, desires, and all ambitions of goodness or wickedness come from a conscious mind, from a mortal thought which one day loves and desires and the next day fears and repulses.


This essence existed always, before the mortal mind was born and will be after, because this essence of Creation is all there is… in darkness and light… beyond the qualities it is all there is… the rest is the shell. 
And it is all we know, many times poisoned by the ego and turned into wars and hate.  Man goes after his own terms of love, searches everywhere and anywhere out there, destroys himself over it, blinded, ignorant, not seeing what is in front of him… or within him.


And what is that which creates deep within the being the desire for life if not love…??  What makes you want to read this and seek the truth to better your own life if not love…??

25498059_402617936838241_2352536435979479081_n
But do not be like the common man, do not put it qualities and aspirations; because when you do, it stops being the true essence of love. 
If you do put it qualities and aspirations, it just becomes more garbage from the ego of the ignorant man.

Lead.

“The reality is that the only way change comes is when you lead by example.” ~ Anne Wojcicki; American entrepreneur, and chief executive officer businesswoman.

“A person always doing his or her best becomes a natural leader, just by example.” ~ Joe DiMaggio; American Major League Baseball player.


How many people out there say very wise and beautiful things, have vast opinions about everything, and are always judging and criticizing but never actually do the right thing, never follow their words, their opinions, never lead by example…??

These individuals are guided to think and say by their egos and not by their hearts, because when you are guided by your heart you are guided by truth; and when you are guided by truth you always lead by example because you can understand reality in the world as it is–not as your lazy ego says it is, but as it really is.


25507789_402171646882870_3183875547349726726_n
The fact is that by sheer thinking and nice wording the only thing stimulated is the intellect, the mind and seat of the ego; but, however, in order to change people and the world, in order to change yourself as well, you must lead by example, you must change your own behaviors, you must do and not just talk about it, and, most importantly, you must challenge yourself and your comfortable ego to real change you can see and do every single day.

 

Life itself is action, change, progress, and it carries lessons and strength in its change, in its actions, events, moments.

Now, wise people are the same, because deep within themselves they know they are one with life and not separate from it; therefore, wise people understand that human character, integrity, goodness, strength, and all which brings true happiness and success into their lives is a great change in their own behaviors.

Elephants

 

That is what other people around you will see and from what they will learn: your wiser example.

It is yours!

“We must not allow other people’s limited perceptions to define us.”  ~ Virginia Satir; American author and family therapist.


“Stay true to yourself, yet always be open to learn. Work hard, and never give up on your dreams, even when nobody else believes they can come true but you. These are not cliches but real tools you need no matter what you do in life to stay focused on your path.”  ~ Phillip Sweet; American musician.



The human potential is often wasted and even ignored, because the human potential, the strength and the capacity to be happy and express ourselves through our talents, is within each one of us, it is the divine light beyond the ego which gives life to all rationale and is there to guide us forth.


But it is ignored because most people choose to allow their attentions to fall on other people’s opinions and judgments, so they themselves become self-conscious and embarrassed, fearful and even consider themselves worthless; and they also become crippled by all this turmoil which brings confusion and fear into their minds.

25398998_401553030278065_7989688364778259642_n

Life is a beautiful journey to create yourself–that is, YOURSELF, not others. And how can you create yourself and enjoy your journey if your mind is upon what other people think…?? How can great imagination to create happiness and success in your life exist in your mind while you remain in fear and chained to what others believe of you…??


You must break yourself free from caring what others think of you, free from the chains of mediocrity; for it is your own perception of yourself the one which matters, because it is your life and you are unique, but unless you become free to imagine and create you cannot know how unique you are.

You won’t be able to see the whole forest if you can only see the tree.  And you won’t be able to see your opportunities and talents to progress in life if you can only see the people who judge you and consume your mental energy.

images

But, having said that, it is not the people’s fault but your own; therefore, you must take full control of your mind, seek peace, inquire within yourself, and follow your heart and care only about what you see for yourself.

Awaken and Hunt!

“Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain. To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices; but today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.”  ~ Kevyn Aucoin; American make-up artist, photographer and author.


We all have gifts and talents, and we were given the opportunity in this time, in this era, in this life period, to live this physical life to find them in each one of us; but, sadly, many people ignorantly look for them outside of themselves, and thus they never find anything which can bring them true happiness.
e20f422d44c4f898b5246c2a0bad4014
But you, as an awakening and wise person, must not waste your time here on this earth, look within you for whatever is for you expressing your unique self, freeing your spirit and being truly you. That is the whole point of this life. And if you can’t understand that then you will never find true and constant happiness.
 

To be here on this planet and fully live and enjoy life means to be present, which means you observe before you judge and complain, you learn what experiences may want to teach you before you get angry with life, you pay attention to what is happening around you in the present moment and not dwell in past memories or visions of the future.

The reality of life is that you must be present, focused on the moment of Now; so, live and enjoy wisely, follow your goals and love without fear, respect yourself enough to give yourself chances to become better, find your true passions and gifts within yourself. And for all this, again, be present, because happiness is now, in the present and not in the past or in the future.

 
Whether you think of an afterlife or not doesn’t matter, your beliefs don’t matter; the only thing that matters is reality, which is that you were born to be happy and successful in whatever you choose to do; but you do have to work at it with heart and intelligence, patiently, wisely, because you have been given time for a reason–i.e., so you can regroup your thoughts, discipline yourself, and learn to create your path.
25398828_760107287513374_3664472929160547245_n
So, mind your time on this earth, be patient, do not rush into things, plan and analyze what you are going to do, but be constant and do not waste your time.
As long as you are alive, you have a chance to better your life.
