Rolling out of the mud…

“You have to lift your head up out of the mud and just do it.”  ~ Teri Garr; American actress of stage, television and film, singer, comedian, dancer, and voice artist.

“My father taught me not to overthink things, that nothing will ever be perfect, so just keep moving and do your best.” ~ Scott Eastwood; American actor and model.



The process of thinking, of analyzing things, planning, envisioning, experiencing first in the mind’s eye, is the process of self-discipline and of good strategy; however, too often the human mind tends to dwell on this, overthink, cripple itself, too much thinking and experiencing in the mind bring fear most of the time.

You must realize that the mind is limited and ego-centered, and so it can only aid you in things you know from experience; but things you haven’t experienced, new ventures and decisions, are always going to be targets to a little confusion and fear to the mind because change is most of the time unique and so it calls for bravery.

New horizons, new light can be scary sometimes if you are attached to the old.

 

The center of your attitude must then be one of serenity and poise, and you must be curious and brave, believe in yourself and do new things, challenge yourself.

Overthinking or focusing on every little detail of a new venture might leave you fearful and put down, discouraged and filled with worries; therefore, you seek inwardly for that strength and wisdom to understand and realize that to create your path, to be unique and yourself you must do, no thoughts, no overthinking, just do and be in each step you take, take it all in and enjoy the moment.


Don’t lose yourself in choices and too much thinking, the world has many choices and it always says you have time; but you must know better, warriors are forged in the choices they make out of bravery, now, not tomorrow, without delay.

Make your choice then and stop living in your mind.

The Way of The Warrior.

“To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true.” ~ Aristotle.


“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.  Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.” ~ Marcus Aurelius.


                                                        The Way of The Warrior
25994946_404867756613259_3425195194609118974_n

One cannot simply survive and each day hope for the best without altering what one does, but one must do anew, change one’s actions, change one’s ideas, become a warrior in one’s own life. To see life with different eyes, fresh eyes, such eyes that are not exhausted by stubborn views and oppressing situations; therefore, a new breath must bring a fresh start, which means boldly gather yourself and keep making yourself better without stopping to self-pity or to entertain the opinions of others.

Opinions are never facts for the warrior who is wise and based on truth, so opinions do not shake him one bit when the fools of the world open their mouths to spew their ego-centered garbage.

When everyone else sees darkness and chaos, you must see light and order; thus, your mind becomes the mind of a warrior whose only purpose is the truth.  And the truth is that which lies within yourself, and the truth is what makes the warrior because self-love is the truth; then, whenever you see lies and deceit in the world, whenever people and situations try to pressure you into lying to yourself, into deviating from your own path, your mind will be strong and firm upon the truth which is deep within you.


This is what separates the warrior who sees and knows the light from the individual who only survives in the darkness because he does not see and know the light in himself; thus, the warrior is never lost, and the individual in darkness is lost even until physical death comes to claim him, and when that happens the fool has lost his time.

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.

Higher standards.

“You can’t please everyone. When you’re too focused on living up to other people’s standards, you aren’t spending enough time raising your own. Some people may whisper, complain and judge. But for the most part, it’s all in your head. People care less about your actions than you think. Why? They have their own problems!” ~ Kris Carr; American health author, wellness activist, and cancer survivor.


“Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thin was changing what I demanded of myself. I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life, all the things I would no longer tolerate, and all the things that I aspired to becoming.” ~ Tony Robbins; American author, entrepreneur, philanthropist and life coach.



Most people in this world act like they do not like themselves, as they dumb themselves down for other people just to fit in with the fools of a group, whether family or friends, and as they engage in their own depressive thinking while putting themselves down in front of a mirror also; thus lowering their own standards to mediocrity and self-pity every day more and more.

25507813_400644110368957_7845411035457432798_n

They are like beggars asking for love and attention, mistreating themselves and belittling themselves and their lives; consequently, this shrinks the human mind and brings all sorts of distortions of reality.

And because you cannot see reality now, namely that you can do more and be more for yourself, you drown in your own ego while you distance yourself from all self-love which can help you experience all happiness.

There is no more love you can have towards yourself than self-respect, because this self-respect creates mighty confidence and strength from within so you can say no to lower standards in the world, so you can raise yourself above those negative thoughts you may have and the inferior influence from people around you.

So, remind yourself that self-discipline in this is to love yourself and care enough to create the greatest life for you.  Worry and work on yourself, do not listen to others.  You are THE ONLY creator of your life.

Keep it sacred.

“The smarter you get, the less you speak.”  ~ Unknown.


“Stop telling your big dreams to small-minded people.” ~ Hakim Sagan; American spiritual teacher, philosopher, and author.


Our passions, our heartfelt motivations, our very important desires to develop ourselves further or to develop something new in our lives, are energies that we must nurture and treat with reverence and faith; because if we do not honor them and make them sacred to us, if we waste our energies telling anybody our innermost plans, is like spilling water outside the glass or spilling flower seeds on cement.  We are going to lose passion and interest while wasting energy telling people whatever is in our hearts and whatever we are developing.

24900255_398785710554797_7656071750402097398_n

The human being tends to get excited over ideas and passions and treat them as amusement for anyone, but this only depletes your energies and soon you lose focus and interest on following through with it.

The more awakened or conscious of your own state of development you become, the more vision and understanding of self-love and of how to attain goals you become; so, you begin understanding your priorities and to only share you innermost thoughts, feelings, and heartfelt passions with a select group of people.

This is not selfish but the center of knowledge of self, wisdom itself; for to know about life and your growth is to understand that everything you think about, you say and do are energies, and that you must not waste these energies by sharing with people who do not care and who will not support your advancement and inner and outer growth.

Stop the loud voice of your ego from making you tell everything you carry inside, everything concerning your development, inner and outer; because happiness and all success is something you cultivate, it is something individual and not collective.

CZDSDL4UwAQd7Ic

So have faith, patience, honor and cultivate wisdom in this, keep the important things to yourself.

Truly Sacred.

“Never give up on what you really want to do.  The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.”  ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr.; America inspirational writer.


“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”  ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe; American abolitionist and author.


 

What is life if not a string of challenges to make you stronger…??  And what is the purpose of life if not to achieve bliss in all you do by not giving in to these challenges…??

images
Unfortunately, most people see life’s challenges and obstacles as a threat and something to fear or avoid at all cost; however, this is in fact the richness of life given unto you for no price whatsoever, life gives and gives for you to learn and become a better human being.

 

That is why one must never give in to fear and temptation, one must be watchful and alert, and so one must keep going faithfully because life responds to and respects the warrior who holds his goal and follows his dream without losing the passion, the fuel of his human spirit.

 

“The light at the end of the tunnel,” they say. But I say you create your own light in your journey, and if you create your own light then there is no darkness or challenge which can weaken you or stop you from becoming great in your personal pursuits, and there is no society which can ever deviate you or distract you from your goals.

And the golden key to create your own light is self-discipline in your daily behaviors and the process of envisioning your goals and never ever letting them go, not letting them go for your family, friends, or anybody else for that matter.

Self-discipline is the golden key then, the ability to control your feelings, your reactions to temptations, and overcome your weaknesses in the pursuit of a noble goal you think is right; and so, you do this by creating a heartfelt and intense passion which will give you the strength and endurance to resist all challenges.  You must select what you read and watch, what you think about and what you listen from others; that is, you must create your world and envision it, honor it every single day in your thoughts as the most sacred element to create out of your godly human spirit.

Make your dreams, your goals, sacred, and so sacred that nobody can touch them or get in your way to honor them.

Discovering the eternal flame.

“He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.”  ~ Socrates.


“My crown is called content, a crown that seldom kings enjoy.”  ~ William Shakespeare.



Happiness and pleasure are two different things; happiness is what we are eternally (obviously has no beginning and no end), pleasure is what physical life created (has a beginning and end). 
Pleasure, if is chosen wisely, may be something noble to which aspire and seek in life, but we must never confuse pleasure with happiness.

a-prescription-for-happiness-19-638

Happiness has no purpose, no quality you can define; therefore, you are happy just because you are content and living in the moment, while you struggle and work you choose to embrace what you are, true and constant happiness.

 

Now, to acquire nice things and prosperity in your life by noble and inspiring work is great, it is to experience life and go after your goals; however, you must see that this is just pleasure, perhaps something you need to thrive day by day, but never happiness.


So, one reaches true wisdom when one is content and satisfied with the things and successes one has at this moment in life; of course, you may wish sincerely to achieve more, and that is okay as long as you see the difference between pleasure and happiness.
If your mind cannot understand and see this difference, then you are bound to self-destruct and lose yourself in the unhappy pursuit of your own ego which is never satisfied; this means, a life of all fears and vast suffering, a life wasted.

The greatest mistake of humankind is to believe that the outside pursuits will bring happiness to the emptiness they already feel inside; however, this is a deceptive dream and a fool’s paradise, because this is an illusion of their own egos which deceives them and distances them from reality, from the treasure inside themselves.  Buddha has said, “Health is the greatest gift, contentment is the greatest wealth.”  Furthermore, happiness lies in your choices, in your own mind, not in outside pursuits; you embrace happiness by not allowing the world and others to affect your state of mind.

Focus your mind on what you do have right now, and not on what you do not have; because most people in the world are never truly happy, due to following their insatiable egos and focusing on what they do not have–always wanting more, nothing being really enough. 

You must be wiser in order to see through the veil of pleasure; you discover happiness in the pure heart, not in the insatiable and superficial ego.

Flowing.

“Aging gracefully means being flexible, being open, allowing change, enjoying change and loving yourself.”  ~ Wendy Whelan; American ballet dancer.


“Ultimately spiritual awareness unfolds when you’re flexible, when you’re spontaneous, when you’re detached, when you’re easy on yourself and easy on others.”  ~ Deepak Chopra; Indian-American author, public speaker, alternative medicine advocate, and prominent figure in the New Age movement.


 

Life is all about creation, change, always moving forwards; and one must measure up to life by assimilating this ongoing change, by building new ideas, by adopting new lifestyles, by acquiring fit approaches to understand life’s new challenges and events.

02c45b147891dcb648831d3db5c0c0d3
Let me tell you now, whoever does not see life each day as new, as the tides of the ocean are new, is not adapting and enjoying a full life.

 

In order to adapt and become flexible, you must not hold firm and stubborn to beliefs and ideas, to lifestyles and expectations; but you must allow your mind to be free of these chains, be an open mind, adapt to new views and stop expecting people and life to support you and give you what your ego thinks you deserve.

Wake up and recognize that you drive your own life, that you choose to adapt or not, and that nothing outside of yourself has real power but what you allow it to have.

editeddarwin

 

There is a vast source of energy for adaptation to change which lives beyond the beliefs and ideas of your mind, and this vast source does not have anything to do with your outside situations and environment.

You must then reach deep within and love yourself enough to let your mind be silent and free of loud thoughts, then you must calm yourself and realize that change is good for your human development, for no happiness or great achievements can be embraced without having a mind that is truly free to change with life.

Source of The Universe.

“It is difficult to understand the universe if you only study one planet.”  ~ Miyamoto Musashi; expert Japanese swordsman, rōnin, and author.


“People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.”  ~ Thomas Szasz; Hungarian-American academic, psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst.



So, one discovers, knows, and embraces one’s own strength only if the mind is not agitated.  But what is this mean exactly…??  Do you know what drives the human being into great acts…??  Do you know why most people are decent people but they never create greatness in their lives…??  Do you know where the cosmic secret beyond time and space lies…??

th
The world moves forth and most people sees this without a deeper thought, but, no matter how nice and loving they can be, they are not awake enough to understand that the world only is what it is and moves forth the way it moves forth because of the inner state of each human being–i.e., not because of animals, no because of trees, but because of human beings.

And whoever is not awake enough to understand this, believes that whatever they think and do does not really affect the world around them, so they start believing that what they need to create a better world is outside of them.

So, their minds are neglected, the ego takes over, and the world suffers because of that mediocrity, most of the time from well-intentioned people.


But the human race has been given higher intelligence over other sentient beings for a reason, not just to increase an ego which seeks the truth on the outside; therefore, that reason is the management of our higher thinking tools to inquire within ourselves, meditate, discover the essence of Life itself and The Great Creation within–no other being on Earth has been given self-awareness like this.

Because all the world around you is a mere reflection or a perfect hologram of the real pattern which lies within you.

interpersonal-ppt-journey-into-self-awareness-6-638

Furthermore, it might be difficult to find time to think about who we are, our strengths and weaknesses, our drives and personalities, our habits and values.   And even when personal feedback is presented to us, we’re not always open to it, because honest feedback isn’t always flattering; consequently, many people has a pretty low level of self-awareness.  But self-awareness can improve your judgment and help us identify opportunities for professional development and personal growth.  And so, what is more important than self-love, than improving yourself…??

Self-awareness is the power of introspection and reflection the world needs right now and always will, it is what your life needs.  And because your own happiness and a great life is created from within you, then you must take time to inquire within yourself and find out your reaction motives and meditate on your reason and logic of beliefs and thoughts, find out every day why you act and see life the way you see it, project yourself outside of your own mind and feel what other people feels and thinks, study the human psychology and behavioral patterns of the world.  This will give you the powerful insight into your human spirit and into life’s greatest secrets.


Stop seeking where to lean, the truth, love, peace, happiness, support, beliefs, company, on the outside; for, to discover all this, you must go to the source of the Universe and of Life itself, and that is you.

Then, with this truth to all, you create your life and the world.\

Rise of The Gods.

“All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.”  ~ Earl Nightingale; American radio speaker, and self-help author.


“If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life.”  ~ Abraham Maslow; American pioneer psychologist and professor.


 

This physical life is a beautiful succession of still photographs, and to find yourself and really embrace life at its fullest you must live in the moment, enjoy each moment, allow your attention to be on each moment, whether pleasant or unpleasant situations, do not escape but be there; however, because our human spirit needs to be allowed by our humanity to have outlets, to express itself freely, we, as human beings, need to rule over our egoistical and lazy minds and develop talents and skills in which we feel the passion and freedom coursing through our veins.

6863_20121103_111525_407632_343212045775236_294920062_n[1]

To free yourself, your spirit, to embrace true and constant happiness in your life, you must have a plan or vision of what is most important for you, a goal which helps you wake up each morning happy to be alive and working towards something heartfelt and noble; but, opposite to this, you cannot live each moment just hoping for the best and allowing your mind and the situations surrounding you to lead you randomly forward, for only you are meant to create and rule in your own life–i.e., not your ego, not your family, not society, but you and only you.

 

If you are not waking up each morning and loving every second of your life, breathing in and watching yourself get better and better in the development of your skills and talents, then you will not be able to free your human spirit from the bondage of a lazy and stressful ego, thus you will not experience the true essence of happiness which starts with self-love.

 

This self-development is all about your internal state, this is not about your country, culture, or your current financial condition; therefore, you could live on the streets or inside a very humble abode, but there is always something to improve in yourself–kindness, a deeper emotional connection with yourself, the planning of a future through planning strategies for a business, working on writing stories to develop imagination, drawing, mastering a certain topic to publish a book, selling something you make, etc. etc.

The goal here is not fame or fortune, but it is to train your mind to move forward and to create something that you keep dear to your heart, because in this way you free your human spirit and let it soar to new experiences, to new heights.
Remind yourself of this every single day.
