Learn to master to the moment. To be present. To know yourself. Once you master the moment then you can connect these moments in the right direction you want to go. You start playing the game of LIFE. There is always decisions to make and the more you are present in the moment then the better decisions you will make.
Life is hard enough but we make it harder on ourselves without realizing it. We are taught to save, to hold on, and to never quit. This is great for some things but for other things you must learn the opposite. We must practice how to let go, how to forget and be free.
The more you expect the more pain you will feel. This is why only strong people set high expectations. They can handle the pain of broken expectations. They will take the risk for the reward. They know the terms of the deal and pay the price for for what they want.
There are many keys to success but one of the biggest is being consistent.
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. ”
Aristotle
Without consistency we are hoping to win the lottery. To get good at anything. To make anything better than it is. We must keep chipping away at it. It has been proven that if you can allocate 7 hours to a skill a week. Those 7 hours are better spent 1 hour a day than 7 hours all at once. Set up a schedule with your daily habits, weekly habits, monthly habits, quarterly habits, and yearly habits. This schedule will keep you on track to get you to where you want to go.
Everything begins with a decision. You are either going to continue to do the same thing or you are going to change it up. This is one of the most important and daring decisions you can make. You are sacrificing your security and comfort for an adventure. You are throwing yourself into the unknown. You are not being driven by fear. You are driven by belief and passion. Your belief will get you through the adversity. Your passion will light the way. You have to make the decision to accept the journey.
Why even start? Before you even start you must see the potential benefit. That if you do “X” then “Y” will happen. There must not be any doubt. The more likely you see great potential. The more likely you will take massive action to get it. The belief in this potential is directly correlated to how much action you will take. This is a positive feedback loop.
Your family will be real with you. Your family will show you real love. They were there for you when you were broke and they will be there for you when its all over and you have nothing again. Don’t forget where you came from. You are carrying on a family legacy. You share a name all of your family members that came before you and the ones that will come after you. Take pride in your family.
Most of the time I like to avoid failure because it is painful. This avoidance to adversity traps me where I am at. I will refuse to take risks for the fear of the pain. I will refuse to start something new for the pain of being a beginner. Even though the experience of being a beginner is painful, it is also very humbling.
Being a beginner reminds me that there is still a lot to learn. It makes me question whether learning this new thing will be worth it. It makes me want to work harder and learn faster to avoid being in this beginning state.
The one thing I find more inspiring than anything is nature. Nature has a way of putting me in awe. Everything is perfect in nature. The sunset is a beautiful mosaic masterpiece in the sky everyday. The colors are swirled around in an amazing fashion. The beauty of the sunset makes me feel like I am a small piece in something much larger than myself. It makes me thankful for the life I have and encourages me to keep pursuing my dreams.
Everybody is different so you may have something else that inspires you but you need to know where you can get that fuel on your pursuit of happiness.
Imagine the whole world as if you were looking at it from outer space. Out of the entire globe how much have you actually seen? Maybe 1% of the entire world you have seen. This is the same for every situation that your are in. You do not see the whole picture. You only see a small piece of the world and we think we know everything. Our senses can only take in a limited amount of information and out of that limited information our brain filters what it thinks is important and discards the rest of the information. Everyone has a different filter and bias based on their own experiences. Everyone focuses on different things and discards different things. Everyone is different but who is right?
