What shows up in your environment, is a reflection of what’s going on in your mind. A chaotic mind equals a chaotic environment and every thought you have impacts your immune system. One minute of anger, robs your life of one minute of joy.
Give more to yourself and your life will take on a whole new meaning. Yes, there will still be problems to overcome, but when you take charge of your life you will move into new horizons. Once you have focus and calmness in your mind, your life becomes a reflection of that.
Most of us live in quiet desperation, unfulfilled and unhappy. We get up with no particular reason, outside making enough money to pay our bills. We are the walking dead and we don’t even know it. But bring purpose to your life and you can change its whole trajectory.
We are all capable of greatness, we just don’t know where to start. Procrastination holds us back. Procrastination is a form of self-sabotage. Self-sabotage also robs you of your time to do what you really want and love. When we take charge of our time, emotions, finances and relationships, when we really make the effort to stop procrastinating and sabotaging our efforts, life will become more joyous, peaceful and relaxed.
There’s never a perfect time, to start taking control. The best thing you can do, is start today. Who you hang out with, will determine your direction; drug users, alcoholics, people who put you down, all love it when you come to their their level.
These people don’t consciously try to improve their own lives, they just complain about how hard done by they are, how the government should help, family should help, teachers, doctors, anyone else should do something, while they themselves, do nothing.
These people don’t study, or read and are quite content in their little worlds. They also take you along with them and it’s up to you to want to step away and make your life the best it can be. No one’s going to do it for them, no one’s going to do it for you either.
Many people are going through life, just waiting for the day to end.
Wouldn’t you like to be different, your life to be different? You’ve only got one life. Make it count for something. Just remember; if you don’t believe in something, you’ll fall for anything. Take a stand and make your life count for something.
Work out what your expectations are; in life, relationships, business and finances. Form a plan that will move your forward, rather than take you backwards. Don’t stay where you are and stagnate. It’s up to you to pull yourself out of the rut.
Stop allowing time wasters; people who aren’t backing you in your corner, tv, aimless activity, getting not much done and achieving nothing. Ask yourself where you want to go. If you want an exciting life, you don’t have the luxury of wasting time.
Examine your expectations against your wishes…are you gaining ground, or losing? If losing, what do you need to do, to turn your life in the direction you wish it to take? You can start by taking care of yourself; what you eat, how you exercise, removing negative people and adding positive, working on your spiritual life.
Take time to really look at what you want out of life. Take a spiritual bath. Relax with soft music, candles, oils, flowers and give yourself a feeling of royalty. Get into the right mindset and take some time to think about where you are headed and where you would like to head. Do they synchronise, or are they worlds apart?
While you are soaking, form a plan for what you’d like to see happen in your life. Without a plan, we just muddle along. A plan will keep you focused and push you towards your goals, so set goals and set out the steps to get yourself there.
What issues are you facing and how can you get on top of them? Asking the right questions takes you in the right direction. Knowing where you are in life is a good start. Knowing how to fix what’s wrong, helps you deal with it. Take time to take care of you and your wants and needs and then you can take care of the rest.
Remember you’ll never be perfect. Life will never be perfect, but things can always improve. Be true to yourself, know what you need and let others know what you need. Tell them; I need this, in order for that to work for me.
If you don’t take care of your needs, you’ll always have that nagging tone…what about me! When do I get mine? We’re taught not to speak up for ourselves, not to be selfish, but no one’s going to live your life except you, so make it a worthwhile life.
Do what you’ve fantasized about doing, even if you’re not good at it. Just enjoy. Stick with it long enough and you will be good at it. Draw the line. At some point you’ve got to draw the line and start being a little selfish.
Draw the line with your weight, your finances, your relationships, just don’t permit it any longer. Don’t permit negative people. You can’t grow from negative people.
If you put a nail in a piece of wood, when you pull the nail out, the hole is still there. Don’t let someone call you names. Names leave scars, long after the moment they’re said.
Keep negative people out of your life. Negative people are way more powerful than positive and they’re insensitive. They leave you feeling bad about yourself and who you are. Over time, name callers erode the image you have of yourself. The longer you listen to name callers, the harder it is to believe in yourself and in your ability to achieve something worthwhile.
Why are known hells preferable, to beautiful heavens? Miserable jobs, miserable relationships, being mean to each other, over joy, love and peace. Because it’s familiar. Life is rough and scary. It’s scary taking a chance. It’s scary acting on your intuition. It’s frightening and people are immobilized by fear.
To go against those you associate with every day, is the most difficult act of courage. The deep hidden fears, the shame you feel, for allowing others to treat you with disrespect, bubble to the surface and try to hold you back when you move to step out of your comfort zone. The fear of failure and more shame, if you don’t succeed first time, are barriers, barriers which you need to break through.
When you change the way you walk, talk, act and use your time, when you become busy doing what you want to do, your life will change.
If people can put you on a guilt trip they will. They might yell abuse at you and you have to have the strength and courage to draw the line. You are more powerful than you know. Your life is a replication of what you know, not who you think you are. You can allow it to destroy you, or use it to build you up. Do not allow someone to make you something you’re not. Not even yourself.
Whether you’re upset, nervous or tense, if it’s safe for you to do so, stand your ground. If it’s not safe, it’s time to get help.
Stand up for what you want and go for it. And remember - you are stronger than you know!
