We are told from an early age to think and do in a certain way in order to succeed. To lead a happy and full-filled life you have to start to think right and discipline your mind. Those that have told you to do this are correct they just have not gone far enough.
We have all been there, two maybe three weeks before New Year in front of the mirror taking a deep long look at ourselves thinking where we are in life and making that decision that come the New Year, come the New You. We decide the weight will be lost, the bad habits given up, the early mornings will be met with glee and the progression in our own personal success will be started. We chat with friends/colleagues/family members about our wonderful intentions. We get hyped and excited.
Unfortunately, for most of us, come the 2nd week of January the choccie biscuits are back centre stage, the bad habits are creeping back in and we start settling back into the routine of the year before, and the year before that, and the year before that. Resolutions in a shambolic heap somewhere hidden away from view with a towel over them in the recesses of our minds, to be uncovered again December 10th of this new year. The sense of failure is back and so are the cast , the directors and writers of the play that is called "Your Life".
As with all plays, they obtain reviews which are keenly read by all who are involved, the old hand at the plays will ignore the bad reviews and just get on, however, most will be hurt, discouraged etc., by them, and many give in and give up. So it is with the play that is your life. We take on board all the bad reviews and become dispirited, the only difference being that 90% of the time you are both the play-write and the critic.
Humans are the only living creatures that talk to themselves. Each and every day, every hour giving your critique on you. What we need to ensure is the information we are feeding ourselves is positive. For instance, never be down on yourself about your body, hair even personality, as you have to know what you do not like in order to know what you do like, and once you have the vision of what you do like you then have given yourself the starters gun that will propel you forward towards the point where you want to be. Never be unhappy about yourself as without contrast and desire there cannot be change.
You are right here and now, in this moment, the sum total of the thoughts and actions that you have taken up to this point, therefore if you change your thoughts and actions from this point forward you will then be the sum total of those thoughts and actions, each step propelling you forward towards your desire.
GO FORWARD, ENJOY YOU, ENJOY CONTRAST, ENJOY DESIRE AND ENJOY LIFE, APPRECIATE THE NOW.
