Move Forward
People become victims of their circumstances and life challenges all the time. When life gets tough or depressing, most will adopt a negative perspective and think to themselves about how unfair life is: how they should have been born into better circumstances with more money; or how they should have been given better opportunities; or how things should have happened differently.
Well, the truth of the matter is that life is going to happen anyways – sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. The one thing that you will always have 100% control over is your response to these events. When you adopt a positive attitude and always look for the good in any given circumstance – how could you not move forward…...
Remember - in order to best handle the challenges that you are facing in your life, you will need to be updated to your latest version. What does that mean? It means, if you never spend time on yourself growing mentally, physically, and spiritually – you will slowly start to become less and less capable of handling the challenges life presents. It is the equivalent of trying to use an ordinary Apple-1 (the first computer released by Apple in 1976) instead of an iMac in todays crazy world.
If you genuinely want to help and influence others to the best of your ability, you need to start by helping and influencing yourself to the best of your ability first. Otherwise, not only will you be limiting yourself in achieving and becoming all that you are capable of, but you’ll be limiting what influence and impact you are capable of having on the lives of others too.
Intentions don’t make a difference in the world – actions definitely do. You can have the best intentions of growing the most beautiful flowers, but if you forget to water them, don’t plant them in the right soil, and keep them out of the sun – your flowers won’t stand a chance. Actions are everything when it comes to growth. To know and not to do is the same as not to know! Life is not a spectator sport – it’s a full contact, get your clothes dirty, and leave it all on the field – kind of sport.
Staying consistent with a lifestyle change or healthy habit over the long run can be very difficult. How many times have you started a new workout routine that you said you would be 100% committed to no matter what – only to find yourself quitting it a few months later?
…Or jumped on the latest dieting trend and decided you were going to follow it ‘to the tee‘ so that you could get maximum results? …Or set a new goal of reading for a half hour every day which never lasted? Too many to count? Yup, me too. With simple hacks and determination you will start to understand how habits work and you’ll start to build the life you’ve always wanted. Will it be easy? Most certainly not. Will it be worth it? Absolutely so.
Regardless of what problems or challenges you are facing in life – the reason that they are there and affecting you the way they are, is because you haven’t expanded your consciousness enough to the point where they can be resolved. No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.
Therefore, the mastery mindset here is, if you keep learning and growing – you’ll keep solving more and more of your problems! Remain the same and you’ll keep facing the same issues. All problems or challenges are solved twice – first in the mind and second in reality. So if you get your mind right first, your life will follow. Brace yourself..........
Life is really about cultivating happiness and creating meaning. And meaning does not come from what you get, it comes from what you give. When we master the art of happiness and learn how to unleash the best version of ourselves every day – touching lives and changing our world becomes inevitable.
