The Best For The First In 2023
Writing this post, I should be noted that I am not telling anyone to follow each and everything that I am sharing.
As most of my writing comes from my own personal experiences, so the best I am sharing is the best that comes from the part of me.
I know in life we have a lot that many of us wish to accomplish, and sometimes I found myself asking God — why it is so necessary for us to pass all of those life circumstances or situations to have all that we want?
But as a person who is also conscious, another way I understand that human beings are nature.
Living in this world we aren’t different like other God creatures when it comes to our inner essence but sometimes we make ourselves special.
The same essence that the tree has or the bird or the sun, it is the same as a human being too — and all of that connects us with the powerful source. The source which is greater than us. The source which is All That Is — God.
Then I am smiling more the time I pass this great wisdom from Eckhart Tolle, that decries all of that we face in this life and found ourselves describes those things as life problems — isn’t our life at all as our life is that which is inside us — the inner essence, its complete and it is perfect.
It doesn’t have any problems at the moment but only life-situations, that will always happen and come cycles after a cycle — that which many of us, human beings call problems.
Having all that you have, facing all that you have faced just know it’s not over yet and life still gives you more than 1,000 chances to live that which you wish to live.
In the process of achieving that, I am here to remind you that, for the things to get better in the outer state you have to strengthen your inner state first (do the inner work), and what I will share in this piece, is actually what we might choose or opt to practice to strengthen our inner self.
First and Foremost, Start Your Year Smiling :)
Thich Nhat Hanh, one among the profound Buddhist monk says that you can brighten your spirits and actually bring yourself better physical health if you smile five times a day for no particular reason.
And when you smile at one another, it improves the mental, physical and spiritual health of all who see that smile.
But also a smile sends a positive vibe and a positive vibe sends a positive message to anyone around you.
Something like this little thing may seem so stupid or simple (not deciding to do) but only until you decide to do the little things — you will start building the big ones.
Second, For The First, Cut Off Procrastination
Human beings are creatively liars. We might plan to do something but we skipping the plan or deciding to do it tomorrow.
But when tomorrow comes (even though it never comes) we will say we still have time so we will do it the coming day.
We do that because we say we are busy, we don’t have enough time. Things are a lot and a hundred bunch of reasons.
But this is what I have learned for sure, in the art of prioritization. Human being tends to prioritize things which are important to them only. If it’s not important they cut it off.
So if you are procrastinating something, maybe it because it doesn’t have enough credit from you to appear on your important list. So what we all supposed to do is to shift those things that we really, really wish to do in the important list and see what will happen.
Do The Things That You Will Say You Will Do
One of the things that make many of us stuck is saying one thing and do another thing. You might have this plan but find yourself you are working or committed to another one.
If you can only do just 1% of what you say you will do — you will make a shift in your life.
Have the courage to follow what you say you will do. It’s so powerful.
Stay Away From The Energy Drainers
If it stresses you, drain you or suck your energy — you don’t need it at all.
It doesn’t matter if it’s people or things — none of them you need.
Look back, cross-check and make decisions about what kind of people you would like them to be part of your life and what kind of thing would you love to have around.
If none of them doesn’t serve you, inspires you, or even motivates you, then understand that you don’t need them — let them go.
The person you spend time with, most of the time, you have 90% to be more likely them. Check your cycle, and ask yourself — do I really want to become just like them?
The good thing is that you have a choice.
Set Goals That Inspire You
I don’t really know how many of us set goals, but living without goals to me seems living meaningless.
I do set goals and make sure what I am doing it’s related to something that supports my goals.
Goals can give your life meaning and find yourself committed to big things. Make sure you set goals and goals that are meaningful — can motivate, inspire, and keeps you committed all the time.
It is okay to not attain some goals, don’t feel ashamed, don’t give up dreaming, and don’t be afraid to fail.
And when failure hits you, don’t take that as an excuse to give up. As long as your goals give you enough experience to grow, learn, and contribute something to the community, just know you are on the right track.
But also, you may choose to learn different ways of goals setting. It’s helpful as many of us set goals differently according to what we see works for us.
Make Mistakes And Fail
Growing in life, it’s really we have to pass different life cycles. Those cycles are like the year seasons. Full of winter, spring, summer, autumn, and a lot.
In real life that means, life is full of ups and down, ahaaa! moments and crying moments too.
But the time all of that happens, we should remove our focus that we are failing or making mistakes but we have to take the lesson and grow through those life experiences.
Believe me, it is through mistakes that we bring our mind into consciousness. My mentor used to tell me that Sh*t really happens in life.
My take away is that human beings are nature. Being nature we all have to grow, and if we aren’t growing it means we aren’t alive.
In the process — we all have to face different life situations so that we can grow — this is how strong humans are.
Understand that, life cannot give you what you want but what you really deserve. You have to satisfy the nature to get what you deserve.
If you aren’t ready or you can’t handle it. Life will give that chance to someone else. You aren’t the only one in this world who can do great things — anyone can. Even God doesn’t care who.
Give life reasons to keep holding on you and don’t forget that you have a choice. To do it or leave it.
Cut Off Perfection
This is another worldly disease.
Perfection cuts people’s creativity and kills people’s talents.
But we do understand clearly that if we don’t use something we lose it totally — so what wishing up to be a start while you are already a start.
The time you were born you were perfectly fine. Lao Tzu puts it this way, God does nothing but leaves nothing undone.
You are already done. Being in this world it’s just to figuring out and remembering your true power.
As each and everything that we want to accomplish or bringing something into reality, we already have it within us.
For whatever you want to do, just do what you can. Even if it’s a thousand counts, it all started with zero counts. You got it!
What I have learned from my journey is that,
“Everyone can make the world a better place.
It doesn’t matter who you are, what you do, or have.
It doesn’t matter if you have a Ph.D. or a zero with D in your cupboard.
With what you have big or small — you have a chance to make someone else life better.
But the only thing and big work that you are supposed to do is to just be yourself.
With what you do, carrier or occupation — still you can make a change and live your calling.
If you are acting, playing football, singing, or writing — still you have a chance to make someone else life better. Just decide.
Don’t get into the dogma maybe if I would be a president or a boss of s certain big cooperation then I will make a change—nope that won’t happen.
We can all make the change right now, by being ourselves and live the inner calling within us.
And from there, God will totally support us. Not perfection — it’s not needed.
Stay Present And Make Happiness Part Of Your Journey
Happiness shouldn’t be an end product after achieving or accomplishing something.
Don’t ever entertain your mind which is always trying to lie to you — maybe if you do this or maybe if you will wear this then you will be happy. Nope! Don’t listen to that lie.
You can be happy right now. Your happiness is the state of being. Your happiness is found within you. Nor people or things, even possessions can give you your true happiness.
Bring your mind into consciousness and create your own happiness.
Another way, be present, as the unhappy mind is always trying to figure out why the things happened yesterday happened or why the things in the future don’t want to happen.
It’s always obsessed with the past and the future, forgetting the crucial moment — the present, which is something that we all have in the now.
So, the moment you shift your focus in the now — is the moment that you will see the beauty of this world.
Happiness will be always with you and surely you will enjoy your life abundantly.
