Getting into life; a process.
Getting what you want isn’t always so easy. As a motivated human I often get asked how I come into the things I've often desired or how I am able to not worry about my life or the things my future will bring, regardless of where my life sits. "You're always so happy and not much seems to bother you" is an outside perspective and becoming successful at letting little bother me is a technique that was crafted through personal development and ensuring that I explored my own mind and beliefs. Please understand getting good at what was best for me might not be the answer for you, because nothing comes easy right? Wrong, I've just noticed that after years of these lessons reappearing, I thought it was to speak about them, how we struggle with it and why we should pay attention to implementing simple alterations for a happier life. The main points I've encountered as of late that help me the most are as follows and in no particular order utilized however you see fit. With consistent effort on all fronts, life improvement is almost guaranteed.
Ask More, Wonder Less: Unless you ask for that shiny new promotion or question that cute someone you’ve been crushing on then how can you ever know if you’d get it? Or have the chance at dating them? Don’t expect to be offered or handed things in life without putting yourself out there first. More often than not effort equals results and sometimes it’s all in the initial approach and how you choose to obtain something you desire. Asking welcomes answers and opens the stage for information and the things you want to flow your way. Assumptions are crafted in wonder, leaving you questioning your own sanity around certain situations and relationships. When reality is made clear without sugar coating and truth is uncovered you are gifted with the reality of being able to gain insight into everything you do. Don't wait for the answers, seek them out instead.
Become Beneficial for All: By making yourself someone who wants to see others gain just as much as you, you're contributing to serve the greater higher purpose for us all. This single factor is one of the highest noted key essentials to becoming invaluable. Staying pleasant to others, driving their success and providing productivity to the outcome of others while keeping yourself a motivated, driven and happy human.
Sound like a lot? Because it surely can't be easy to secure the ability to become a valuable asset to any future career you want to gain and friendly relationships you want to nurture.
It takes consistent time and effort to hone your skills and gifts you want to share with the world, the one's you love to emanate outward in all the relationships you come across in life. Becoming invaluable to a relationship, be it future company or any of your family, means setting yourself up with a vast array of abilities and competency's nowadays. Long gone are the days of being a one-sided human with one career or one category of expertise. It pays to be multi-faceted and to carry many skills, instead of just one. In this life, "their" gain (the overall gain) is also your gain - thinking otherwise will harm the outcome of you both.
Positivity & People: The severely underestimated life blood of us all. Remaining positive throughout the day as the world calls through people, responsibilities and tasks that need completion is a task in and of itself. Having the ability to let things come and go without ample reaction is one of the most difficult inner battles we face as humans. To react or not to react, that is the question. Whether to be optimistic is nobler, or do we just let the negativity reign? Positive people can certainly tick off someone who just doesn't feel the same way, but isn't it to be noticed how good they seem to keep it and how infectious it might be? Like that reality might almost feed into everything we're here for and actually be just the way everything is supposed to go.
Keeping gratitude inside your life on the daily and reflecting on all which you currently have is point numero uno. Write a journal, say thank you more and never take for granted the little things. Remember how our first world simplicities like food and water come difficult to most and you're lucky to have them. Keep in mind that walking on your own two feet, having your vision and being able to hear music are all gifts that aren't granted to every one of us. Bad situations can often bring out the worst in us and shifting focus is point number two. The mental grab of bad thoughts can sink all your energy and quickly steal all your shine. When faced with troubling moments, remember the lessons to be learned and where those outcomes are bringing you. And finally, your company. We as humans bounce off each other. Everyone feels everyone else's energy whether you choose to recognize it or not. Hanging out with negativity breeds more of it and often the simple switch of who you see on a weekly basis can drastically improve your quality of life. Every small moment spent piles together to equal huge results so even small visits count. Aim for like mindedness and those looking for improvement and positivity. Mind your thoughts, mind your company.
Rising Early & Relaxation: Rise ahead of the day and you're sure to win it. Some of the most effective people on Earth rise before 5am. While this is never a club I wanted to join I found out that the more I persisted on my own self improvement, the easier it got for me to rise early. To make the most of my day whatever it chose to become. In saying that, rising early allots for extra self time. If business is carried out in the early am or during the day then most often than not you've made way for more time freedom for you to kick back, relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor. It is essential that time spent just on yourself is made. Productivity isn't made off of endless hours and sleepless nights. It is crafted out of those quiet moments and created when your mind is at the top of it's game. Rise early to be productive and make more time for yourself to relax.
Persistence: Staying diligent in your everyday efforts can be daunting. However, Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither were you. So if it took 9 months to cook you up, imagine the things you could build and what you could accomplish in 9 months of pure perseverance!? Habits are built on cycles and our bodies and brains were crafted to be built on repeat mode. Nothing is learned after one try and training and consistency are the core values to remaining persistent in any habit. Developing a new exercise regime? Try to implement the cardio for 3 weeks as a starting habit, before you decide to go all mega muscle at the gym. Wanting to get better at reading? Read one page a day for a month and then increase to a chapter a day to check your speed. Any one thing that you persist in is obtainable, in fact you should expect that your wishes will be fulfilled and that what you want you will get. For he who works consistently hard, focused in any certain direction will most surely get that which he seeks to find.
Organization: Messy house, messy mind. This lesson is often prevalent and we think if someone's house is falling apart, chances are their mind is too. Staying organized is a pinnacle trait for staying atop your game. Think about it like this, if you were given 5 mins to get all your blessed possessions out of your house, could you find them all? Would you even know where to look? The everyday impact of a messy space results in lost items and frustration over being unable to ever find anything. This can also come in gathering physical items and stock piling the things you don't need. Haven't worn that top in 6 months? Then it's about time to donate those used textiles and move onto to a life of keeping only what you utilize. For your own damn sanity. Lastly, your timeline, the way you lead your everyday and the way you plan your life. Having plans is one thing. Organizing your life priorities and setting yourself obtainable goals is another. We too often fail to plan when it comes to the future and while I'm very much a day to day live by the moment sort of human, I can tell you that the world favors me when I put a plan into place. When you draw out the map you give the world around you a guiding force to start moving along and when it does it's like everything from that point forward works in favor of that plan. Decide on something you desire, set a goal for it and see what happens.
I feel there is a host of other points I could touch on at this moment, like self talk, minding those words and how vital is it to not harbor hate within your mind or situations. But this piece is one I'd like to edit and update often. As life is ever changing I can see the need to adapt to its curveballs and to add in where need be so that this timeless knowledge remains current. Keep eyes on what you do and where you're headed - for a life lived unplanned is most vulnerable to chaos.
