Capture your thoughts and record your history using the ancient art of journaling! Make it your friend, your reflection, your gratitude for life. Knowing and understanding your present will create your future. If you haven't done this yet, start today. Simply start writing down your thoughts and situations that you feel are hard to share with others. If you feel like venting to someone but cannot, journal it! Write down your present moments, people and situations, life changing events, things you like, things you don't like, milestones, challenges, success, love for life, health, prosperity, wealth, gratitudes etc, etc, etc. Your journal takes you on your life journey.
Take competition to the next level by mastering the art of competing with yourself. Develop that excellence from within by becoming better and better at everything you do in life.
At times we make competition with others a dominating aspect of our lifestyle. We all want to win and/or be successful, be it professionally or personally. The edge to get better at what we do is within us. Our effort , persistence, desire becomes that prime self motivation.
When I'm coaching soccer, I tell my players that added self effort and desire to be successful brings out that ‘turbo-charge’ within you. Rather than focusing on others, focus on yourself .. compete with yourself.
Try doing this and you eventually will develop excellence from within by getting better and better at whatever you do.
The power of ‘P’ ......or Personality. Personality is within you , it lives with you, it completes you, it improves you. You grow with it, it grows with you, it cherishes you. You love it, it protects you, it influences you and you influence it. Your choices makes it better or worse. You walk with it and it walks with you. It compliments you, it creates that impression for you - both personally and professionally.
Ask yourself, How well do you know your personality? Is it created by the perception of others or is it created by you? You are your own creator.
Take some time to really know your personality (if you don’t know yet) - know your strengths as it outweighs your weaknesses. Bring that real you out and believe in yourself.
In life there is a reason behind the reason. We often wonder if there is a reason behind a certain situation or circumstance that takes place in our life. We're aspiring for that next career move but it does not come and we end up taking a job we dislike out of necessity. We are looking for that ideal life partner but they do not appear. We want more education but procrastination keeps creeping in. Wanting a dream home, holiday or retirement but the dream seems so far away.
Do you ever wonder if there is a reason behind the reason? Just like an onion, as you peel away layer after layer in life, you discover something new … then something else new until the end when no more peeling is required.
This is your life journey. Bumps will happen but you keep moving, and peeling the next layer of your life. Ultimately you'll reach your destination and that is when you will really know and reflect on the reason behind the reason.
Every year Earth Day is celebrated around the world as a reminder of the importance of protecting our planet. It's one of the many ways to promote awareness. There are several things we do on this day: clean up our community, switch off our lights, reduce food waste, recycle, conserve water, plant a tree, and educate ourselves.
One thing that we can all do, not only during Earth Day, but every day, is simply express our gratitude by acknowledging Mother Earth for all she does for us.
Try walking barefoot in your back yard or when in parks or nature, and just feel the earth's presence. Stand in one place for a few minutes and feel Mother Earth’s vibration through your feet and imaging that you're also giving your own vibration back to her. That’s an expression of our deepest love, gratitude, respect and appreciation to our Mother that we can give back daily!
Be a mountain of an individual in and for life. Try feeling from within the strength of a mountain. This will give you an inner sense of self belief, confidence, happiness and determination, no matter what challenges you face in life. A mountain is steady, unmoved and strong. If challenges come in life, stand up like a mountain. Things will go past you, over you, bounce back, rain, hail or shine. Now more than ever the world needs you to be that mountain for yourself and to show it to everyone around you through loving kindness.
Have determination in life that will keep your burning desire to be successful always at the forefront. Sometimes we get too caught up in whathasn;t gone right that we forget about all the good that's happened. This is possible only through your determination. Be it personal or professional, your determination and your desire to achieve something is always there.
What you want is entirely upon you and wanting something with loving, kindness with pure intention always supports your determination to be successful. People have been successful the years and centuries because of their determination!
I am sure we all have that success story to tell: take a moment to reflect , and you will acknowledge it was through your determination that you gained that success. Be determined on your life journey and with your life goals and ultimately you will get that success you are aspiring for.
Sometimes in life we forget about the small special things that take place during our life journey. Things that would have made you smile , made you laugh, made you love life. Sit back and savour these small but special moments. We tend to forget these and focus on the not so good moments. Try and reflect on these and see your happiness grid shifting . Your life is meant to be loved and lived to the fullest. Blend your savouring moments and it will definitely bring that smile . You remain in control of your savouring moments - go back and re-run these like you are watching a movie.
