In the light of joy, I see my life shining every day, but on the other side of the road I stay blind and hopeless for the rest of my hours...
This could be some cheap poetry of a weak writer but it is only a metaphor for everyday struggle with own mind like we all know. What your mind thinks? Ask yourself this basic question every time you feel you can't take it no more. Every day for every good thought one bad appears but always try to take it positive because balance is the key. Finding positives in negatives will make your mind ashamed and from that moment nothing bad could be your projection any more. It is certain that we want to progress everyday, we want to achieve more and be supported by more people. What usually occurs in reality is that we are all alone with struggle, giving everything we can and seeing just a small trace of progress in every action taken. What's more we see other people who made it and instead of being more motivated we start to doubt...
But what do you need it for? You are not them, they are not you, only you know what makes you happy. Don't try to be somebody, be yourself!
What about dark side of the road, when you walk to the darkness without hope, when you see nothing but disaster. This is the place where destiny is written from the very beginning and all you can do is to pretend you'll make it by deceptive creation of future... Yes it is terrifying, but because we travel through our lifes we visit many different places and not all of them are sandy beaches. The most important is to remember where you going as through all the dust and dark clouds you can always notice a small glimmer of light which in just a second can destroy all doubts and fears. This is a power of dreams because our biggest dream is to mean something before the darkness comes...
Stick to your dreams, never give up, fight your demons everyday!
Because we are humans and only humans. Our actions have no sense often and can be cruel to all living creatures including ourselves...
We kill hope and we kill happiness without purpose, not to survive but just to make somebody down. Mother nature is our greatest enemy, even we say it's so beautiful, the truth is we don't really care for her. We raise our hands to God thinking: "I am the only god in here" and we pray to the money. We even can't be true to ourselves as every one of us wants to be somebody else!
Some of us are insane by trying every day to stop this madness with faith, hope and love. People don't fly, but heroes do. They close their eyes to see above the clouds. Anything beyond average is their world and inspiration for others.
There are just heroes and great heroes but in fact they don't differ much. Famous minds are usually great heroes, as everybody knows them and they last longer in worlds memory. Beautiful minds doing good are unknown to the people and only a few can tell their story.These are just heroes.
No matter what rank of popularity you have, remember that all heroes can fly, all you need is faith, passion and a dream which soon become your reality.
When you run through your life for dreams and goals, you are always ahead of people who waste their time by doing much less they are able to. You usually have more experience, more money, more fame and more satisfaction but what you don't have is time.
Your progress is amazing when you look backwards on own life, why to slow down, why to stop? You can't. You pushing yourself more and more and when something slows you down you get mad. Thats a feature of great leaders, champions and wealthy people, but maybe life is not only a race. Maybe we don't have to chase anybody just because the reward is so great. Maybe our race is just a fiction, a projection of own mind forced by social media and we are, they are missing something very important... Life?
When your goal is to get to the dreams you have it's a great thing, never stop! Do everything you can and don't be lazy, but remember from time to time to get a break. A break which will let you rest and show life from different perspective.
Live life of a moment for a while and enjoy those little everyday things to be confident that you are not missing anything because of your passion. Clear vision it a good plan for the future but also great time living life today, not tomorrow!
When you did what you can to reach your goal and still nothing changed it is not a reason to give up or lose motivation. Only thing you have to do is to change point of view and go forward.
Try to realize that you did more than you would expect before it all started. You are better person now and this will stay with you forever. Instead of giving up try to bite it from the other side. Create new plan, new mission and give yourself to it again with full passion and love. Again sacrifice hundred nights to build it from scratch. You should do it all different than before just for one reason:
Never let yourself to get caught up in a schema that will make you a slave of hope for the rest of your life.
In next 20 years you might try the same thing every day but the truth is you will end up with nothing more than frustration. Try to release your thinking, free your mind to create new things. Schemas are for limited people and you know what, every profesional person is limited somehow if he or she is not able to change anything, to improve or create new.
So everytime you blame yourself for not getting to the top or not being the best, remember that you already crossed the line of your abilities, by doing differently what others do the same. You don't have to do like everybody else just to look like they looked when they made it.
Stick to your freedom, not to your limited skills or possibilities. Learn more and do more but don't be blind for what you already achieved. That is the essence of life progress and everyday happiness...
If you feel you are perfect you must be an idiot or your ego is just a little bit bigger than Universe, anyways it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself for being such a great person it's just impossible for you to make a mistake... and gain any progress too right?
Well fortunately most people are different than that maybe they are not THAT special but still special in their own real way. What makes us humans, is that we all make mistakes. We learn how to do better and better by stumbling everyday. We don't born with knowledge and wisdom as IQ doesn't matter if you ain't scientist. Nobody is perfect even you think they are. Image of your own self in social media is just an image. You are the only person who knows that behind that perfect body, perfect style and perfect friends there is someone who is sometimes scared, uncertain, lonely and unhappy too because not all we do succeeds.
Mistakes are good and being brave enough to admit that you fucked up something is an art of truth and a proof of wisdom (not IQ as even a genius can be a dumb egocentic).
A path to mastery is always difficult and long, a faultless process is an absurd. Do not afraid to be wrong sometimes, those who act perfect don't know what freedom is. They are lost in their dream image of themselves while true life is running away.
Be as good as you can by giving one hundred percent every time you do something and always stay real. If life is your school, mistakes are your most valuable lessons...
If all three answers are yes, you are ready to start your journey...
Ok but before everything else, do you even know what is your biggest dream? We are not talking about cars, clothes or cribs, ok wealth can be a goal but it may not satisfy you at all, what then will you do to find complete happiness. Do you know how to find your purpose? It is not easy and not a short process for sure, it may take a year or couple of years or even a lifetime sometimes but it is definitely worth it. Once discovered you will never suffer on lack of motivation, you become motivation yourself as everything you do will be made with passion and full focus.
How to find your purpose, is there any instruction for it? There are ways and methods which can help you to understand own behaviors and actions but there is no one certain instruction. People who found it, can tell their stories and you can try to relate to it but your story will always be different, that you can be sure.
Again, same question: How? Take a piece of paper and a pen, draw two columns, one with a header What am I good at? The other one with header What am I passionate about (what do I like)? Think about it well, don't hurry, write everything that comes to your mind. Come back to it the next day and two days later and when you finish writing, try to connect things from the left column to things in the right column. Those few sets of things are your starting points. Choose one and try to master it, if you feel that's not it, try the second one from your list an then the next one... These sets can relate to each other by creating full picture of your real potential. When you feel passion and fear go for it and never stop, no matter what.
From now on all you need is a good plan, constant focus and a lot of persistence. Is it that simple? Yes but not easy, simplicity is what it is all about not to loose your main purpose. Be ready for crisis and struggle. It never was and never will be easy. I see it every single day. What makes things happen is hard work and sacrifice. A belief that you are right and that it's gonna happen one day, never let bad opinions to blur your vision.
Stay awake, focus and stick to the plan. Now you know how.
Our mind is our greatest enemy. We visualize things which won't ever happen and we blame ourselves for past actions which no longer exist in present. Some people can't handle their lifes because they are absolutely under control of their own mind. They become thoughts and concerns as all they do is... thinking.
They think so much about past or future that they forget about NOW. It is the reality which thanks to our mind, place us in those roles and situations without perspectives where we schematically find ourselves constantly unhappy because of what we don't yet have or what we haven't done. Logically thinking it is bullshit, but we do it every day, even on the highest levels of financial hierarchy we can't get enough. Money won't solve problems but people still believe that rich and famous are the happiest human beings on this planet. Happiness is not a goal in life, it is a state of mind in which one can find himself by realizing that past and future doesn't really exist. Acceptance of mind as a tool, not identity, and "now" as only reality requires imagination. If you once understand it there will be no limits, schemas, roles, stereotypes, everything is possible when you know you are not your mind's slave. Reality becomes so rich and beautiful through every step you take.
We stick what we think but we think when we want, not when we have to. Mind is a tool, turn it off sometimes to enjoy world around you, NOW...
