Invincible.

“There are no contests in the Art of Peace. A true warrior is invincible because he or she contests with nothing. Defeat means to defeat the mind of contention that we harbor within.” ~ Morihei Ueshiba.

“When life is victorious, there is birth; when it is thwarted, there is death. A warrior is always engaged in a life-and-death struggle for Peace.” ~ Morihei Ueshiba; Japanese martial artist and founder of the Japanese martial art of aikido.

The way of the sage is the way of the warrior, and the way of the warrior is acceptance and mental clarity in his own life; but there cannot exist true acceptance and absolute mental clarity if the mind of that warrior is filled with beliefs and an ego which is not tamed, unruly and rebellious, designing all kinds of emotional schemes and heated states of mind. This soon becomes the hell of the ordinary mind.

Peace brings a state of clarity and joy to the mind wherever it goes and in any situation, and this precisely heightens that same mind into a constant condition of harmony within the real self.

The opportunities of human growth in the intellectual, spiritual, and economical aspects seem to appear in our midst when there is a deeper connection to the wisdom of mental clarity; and so ideas and strategies appear in consciousness making the mind rich and useful. This is the higher awareness of the superior mind.

Man’s task is to raise himself above the ordinary mind full of beliefs and traditions, selfish desires and appetites, by increasing his own awareness of self and by meditating upon a clearer mind–this is done by process of emptying the ordinary mind from books and religious nonsense, philosophical stands and rebellious ideas, selfish appetites and egoistical daily lies, etc. etc.

If you have a clear and focused mind with a vision, then all fear and anger, anxiety and frustration, dissipates, because the human mind allows your experience to be where your attention is; so, if your attention is on possible failure and in the difficulties of a challenge, then your mind will make you experience fear, all anxiety and frustration; but if your attention is on success and on the commitment to strategy each moment, then your mind will make you experience confidence and the positive attitude and thinking that your new winning perspective takes–and this feeling will overtake your whole body and drive you forth.

Most people tend to pay attention to the writings and words of others, without actually thinking that each mind is unique, and that each life and path to success is unique. If you try then to copy the journey of others, whether these others have achieved greatness or not, you will deviate from your real purpose; such being the liberation of your human spirit via your own developed talents, ideas, skills, strategies, etc.

Don’t fall prey of society and of your own ego, of your own intellect. Peace means clarity, and you must work on yourself and focus only on yourself to develop inner peace, to erase all fear and confusion to get ahead and express your pure and most noble heart’s desires.

Business mind. The free mind of a human god!

Greatness unleashed!

“Don’t let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don’t like them.” ~ Stacy London; American stylist/fashion consultant, author, and magazine editor.

“Don’t aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.” ~ David Frost; English journalist, comedian, writer, media personality and television host.

One of the problems people encounters is not to understand desire, so they believe that just by following a desire your mind came up with and you envision yourself enjoying is enough to reach success–so they see celebrities with money and fame, they want that; they see writers publishing successful books, they want this; they see great businesses expanding worldwide, they want it and start a business.

But the reality is that your desire alone, no matter how strong that desire is, does not drive you to any success, because you need constant confidence and patience to succeed at anything, such mighty things a simple desire does not give you; but only a truly passionate heart does, and that is more challenging than just a simple desire in your mind.

23131821_382847002148668_7090736365411008933_n

You must forge yourself and find your noble and truest passion, something you truly love from your heart, something you honestly believe in, if you really want great success in life.

See, it does not matter if you don’t think it would bring success, it does not matter if your passion is something you do not see as popular in society; because what creates success in life is not just the product or idea you sell or bring to the public, but the way you do it and the passion is, and the personal belief you have.

People take time, so you need patience, but they pick up on the passion you have; for it is the invisible force the one that attracts success, and that is your natural drive.

Either you live your life just existing and hoping for the best each moment without greater vision (loser’s chosen lifestyle), or you take full control with great strategy and working towards a vision, slowly but steady, patiently but 100% committed (successful mindset). Your choice must allow you to experience true happiness–mentally, spiritually, economically.

A mind that is strong will learn and become stronger from obstacles and challenges. A mind that is weak and pitiful will become weaker and quit on the first pebble on the road. And if you don’t find your truest, most heartfelt passion, you will have no drive to last and endure the road to success.

Find that drive, be patient, believe in yourself, and the world is yours. This is my current experience.

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

The Greater Way.

“Our attitude toward life determines life’s attitude towards us.” ~ John N. Mitchell; American attorney general and politician.

“From the way most people live, one would never guess that humans are beings of free will. Repetition can be a choice, but often it isn’t. The athlete or pianist who practices the same routine day after day, year after year, has their eye on a goal. The unending repetition is a conscious choice in the pursuit of a life dream. But what about the sameness of most lives? Observe the morning commute, the after-work drink, the Sunday football game or religious service–how many of those people are consciously following their dream, training their mind, body, and spirit through that daily repetition? And how many are mindlessly slogging through each day out of habit and boredom?” ~ Jonathan Lockwood Huie; philosopher and self-awareness author.

Do you have a goal that makes waking up every morning worthwhile…?? Do you plan mentally your day or you just mindlessly behave like a robot…?? Do you envision a future and work intelligently towards it or you just work and hope for the best…??

You know, most people really believe that in life all that is necessary to achieve all your goals and experience life to the fullest is just being a good person, so they read this and that, they pray and behave kindly, they wish and keep the word ‘love’ in their mouths all day.

This is all good and heartwarming, it molds you as a good and decent person if done sincerely; however, the truth is that the purpose of life is not just that, but the purpose of your life is to find greater ways to absolutely express your human spirit through greater experiences, through all your hidden talents.

Physical life is a chance to develop your human values and create yourself, embrace self-love and expand it through your talents and skills, to be the hero of your own life, to conquer your negative mind (to conquer your villain) and to spread that inspiration onto the world.

You do this by feeding your mind properly, by getting up early, by planning your day, by working towards a goal and enjoying every second you are alive (every pleasant and unpleasant second).

Only you can do this, not your parents, not your friends, not your religion, not the dead people you pray to, but ONLY YOU. And the secret to all is in your mind, the hero and the villain dwell in your own mind.

“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.” ~ Buddha.

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

Committed to success.

“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.” ~ Dalai Lama.

“To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind, he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.” ~ Buddha.

Success in life is not something far-fetched, as our minds would have us believe; but it is something we have to reach by mastering ourselves every single day, because success and the bliss along with it is right around the corner for everybody, but we have to become ready to materialize it from energy into something we humans can actually experience. Take love, for example: True love is a substance which is perfect and that elevates your mind and heart to unlimited heights of existence, and it is already who you truly are; however, you cannot experience love in your physical body unless you experience some human interactions first–like relationships, or living your life without fear, or giving your life to the service of others, etc. etc.

believeinyourdream

Happiness, bliss, is something we already are, something we are by divine nature; however, because we are human beings and bound to space and time, then, in order to experience our own divine nature, our own happiness, there are certain habits and styles of being we must welcome and adopt every single day.

This divine nature is energy, and so we must be vigilant of its vibrations; therefore, our surroundings and choices, our communications and interactions with the world, must be aligned, to the best of our knowledge, with our own divine energy in order to elevate ourselves and not pollute ourselves.

And this is extremely important to have in mind always.

“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 singer, songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist.

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

Engineering…

“Don’t dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.” ~ Denis Waitley; American motivational speaker, writer and consultant.

“The longer we keep looking back in the rearview mirror, it takes away from everything that’s moving forward.” ~ Dan Quinn; American football coach.

What drives people in life, whether to self-destruction or to blissful success, is their emotions and not their thoughts; what this means is that each one of us has dreams and thoughts of success and all happiness, but wishing and desiring in the mind is not strong enough to motivate the human being to succeed, but emotions are powerful vibrations and they take over your whole body.

f_2015-09-10_20

In order to create fruitful and wise emotions to stop regretting the past and suffering, or to move forward in our path, we must be vigilant and deeply understand that moving forward is not only the action but the intense emotional intention, and even though we might take our time in stepping forwards or achieving some goal, our intentions are of great value, not only to our success, but to the universe’s karmic field or field of our records/the events we are aiming to design for our lives.

Have in mind this, whenever you feel that you are not really progressing, or when you feel that nothing you do has meaning or progress; when you focus on your intentions, then you are strengthening your own progress, because progress in life is mostly the power you embrace within you, then what you create in your outer environment will follow what your inner world is.

The indestructible.

“Self-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.” ~ Abraham Joshua Heschel; Polish-American rabbi and philosopher.

Plainly put, self-discipline is the ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not. And as Lao Tzu wisely said, “Conquering others is mere strength, conquering yourself is true power.”

d10672083d024bfd5562e8b2793ef52b--self-control-quotes-successful-quotes
Most people do not have guidance in life, they lack structure and they are always set adrift in expectation for the next moment, and this happens because they are like ships without a sure route, without a destination mapped, they bounce here and there and when things go wrong they complain and feel like victims.

There is nothing more reassuring and excitingly peaceful, where your mind is set on a definite course and does not deviate, like self-discipline because it is exactly self-respect, it is loving yourself so much that you only do the things which are best for your life, the things that keep you in harmonious track–i.e., eating healthy and the right amount, getting right sleep, working when you have to work and enjoying yourself when you have time for yourself, thinking the right thoughts and sharing in good conversation which elevates, etc. etc.

That is called conquering yourself, ruling yourself, which makes you truly a master of yourself and of your destiny.

Self-discipline gives you strength and confidence, and it helps you appreciate yourself enough that you want to better yourself every single day, while becoming more aware of the things you must do in order to be successful in life.

Self-help life truths.

The Great One!

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” ~ Thomas A. Edison; American inventor and businessman.
(He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the motion picture camera and the electric light bulb you use. He failed or found obstacles more than a thousand times, as he himself said in an interview; but, nevertheless, he never gave up because his full heart was in his work. He turned out to be one of the greatest inventors of the world because of his philosophy of never giving up.)
————————————————————————

Life is progress and never stagnation, success and never failure; however, man’s ego in pure ignorance has invented this concept of giving up, of failure whenever life brings a challenge.
If you can truly understand with all your being that failure and giving up are just false concepts, things created out of ego’s fear, entities that do not really exist but that you allow your mind to create, then you will begin to see life for what it really is, progress which never stops beautifying and growing. Thus your perception of life and of the challenges of life that you meet will change.

Do not follow the experiences or lifestyle of other people, even if they are your loved ones, but create your own path, your own magnificent destiny which has no limitations and fears. When you follow your goals or dreams, get inspiration from great men and women who have achieved great and noble things in their own lives–for example, such men like Mr. Thomas A. Edison (in the quote above).

Quite often, most of us tend to think that goals are too big or that great success is not for us, because we look at the big goals and we shrink in fear; but, when that happens and you see that big goal in your mind designing fear, focus on little steps and not on big ones, be patient and work on small things day by day, slowly, with intelligence and wisdom, because small things in time will create the bigger thing, the big goal.
The ancient Chinese philosopher and writer Lao Tzu very wisely said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.”

Be patient and constant in your work.

And the key to all progress: Do something you enjoy, because it might take you a long time to realize your goal or dream, and the only thing that is going to stop you from quitting and give you desire and energy to continue is the enjoyment you get from what you do.

Be wise in this, people, do not rush into commitments or into your work. Always analyze your goals or dreams first, trace steps to take, and if your heart is truly in it, then, start with all happiness and energy.

Business mind. Self-help life truths.

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.

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.

Business mind. Self-help life truths.

Unbreakable spirit.

“Energy and persistence conquer all things.” ~ Benjamin Franklin; Founding Father of The United States, political theorist, Freemason, politician, printer, author, postmaster, scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat.

The human spirit is the hidden mystery for the ones that dwell in fear and confusion, but for the ones that dwell in faith and persistence there is a bright light that is guiding our paths, and even if the path looks dark one must always keep looking at the bright light at a distance. If we stop looking at this brilliant light or deviate our course just one inch, then, the outcomes of our experience are bound to differ and we may not enjoy the journey of our path.

This is why the only unique way to reach success on anything great in life is to focus upon this brilliant light, our goals and dreams, through persistence. Persisting is remaining focused and targeted upon our heart’s innermost desire, walking the path no matter the obstacles and challenges we may encounter. But that is just the key: Walking the path, not running. If we run and allow excitement or anxiety to overwhelm us, then our minds will become obfuscated and stressed, thus we will quit; however, by walking you develop patience in your journey, your mind expands in understanding and resilience, you develop wisdom, and you enjoy every moment of this wonderful journey as well.

Never lose faith in your path or yourself. There is a higher reason, perhaps one you may not understand at the moment, for everything to happen the way it happens. Life is building you stronger, but you need to allow it to do so through persistence and faith. Give it time.

“The Only Path To Success Is Persistence”

All of us have dreams and goals, the expansion of our talents, the sharing of our love, the need to reach out and develop in this world. This is success, the bliss taking over our bodies and making us soar through the skies, the strong feeling of value and human identity in us, and the recognition as valuable human beings in our society; but, we must understand, success is not a destination, thus you cannot wait for success or wait to have success whenever you reach your goal.
Success is a journey you have to enjoy daily, otherwise it can become an illusion you’ll never reach. Do not let your ego trick you in this.
You must enjoy every moment you are alive and awake, through the good and the bad times; furthermore, this is success–a constant feeling in your heart and mind. And you can only feel success within you if you maintain yourself busy towards a goal or goals (whatever those might be for you). It is the persistence, and specifically the persistence through hard times, the one that will make sure you are feeling successful.
If you do not have goals and dreams, no matter your age, your mind will wither and you will become miserable, and emanate that misery onto others. This is the opposite of success, like fear is the opposite of love.
Be persistent, no matter your race, culture, or where you were born, because it is the only path to true success.
A Quitter Never Wins!
A Winner Never Quits!
