Right Love: Must you Wait or Find It?

Image via Wikipedia

     This morning I had the chance to view a morning show in a local channel hosted by today's hot singer/actress.  There were two guests, both singers by profession, who gamely answered whatever questions about love and relationship thrown to them.  One interesting question that caught my attention is about  soulmate/right one.  Find it or wait for it?  The guests gave different opinions and this made the discussion even more interesting.  People act according to their beliefs  and surely two groups will be born when the members are asked to choose which strategy they prefer most.  The strategies mentioned offer long discussion and one must dig deeper about the true meaning of one's action.  Different kind of people present different opinions even if all choose the find it option.  This is due to their lifestyle, background and educational attainment.  The more experienced they are with regards to relationships and love, the more rich the explanation they give.  So when you know of someone who opts to go the route that is different from yours, do not judge him/her.  You might be surprised to know that what he/she has in mind is an intelligent thought.

About Your Soulmate

     I am currently reading Kathryn Alice book entitled Love Will Find You.  I discovered a lot of great ways to attract the right love for each person.  The author believes in the existence of a soulmate and testifies that the man in her life now is her soulmate.  She has had her share of failures in relationships but never came out bitter because she understood that her past loves were never meant for her.  She had kissed several frogs before she ended up with her soulmate.  But then she never advises people looking for love to do the same-kiss several frogs.  From the way she presents the strategies in her book, it is safe to say that she is more on the wait for it side.  Well, there are some areas wherein one must act right away or short of saying one can find the right love too when you look for it.  But one sentence in the book that really made me enjoy my reading is that one does not have to go out to find your soulmate.  Even if one is just staying at home, your soulmate can literally knock on your door and profess his love for you.  That one is great considering that I work at home most of the time.  The author always mention in her book  that each one of us has his/her soulmate and that soulmate will never miss the one intended for him/her.  If this is the case, what is the best strategy:  Wait for it? Or find it?

Find It

     Remember that the Law of Attraction is always working whether you like it or not.  When you are giving the feeling that you need to find your soulmate, you are telling the Universe that you are alone and in need of someone to cheer you up.  The universe is like a mirror and whatever we give, we must receive.  So when you give that kind of feeling, the law of attraction must act right away and deliver to you the same situation - that you will always be needing someone to take care of you.  Find it strategy presents positive action when you act or do inspired action.  What do you mean by that?  When you clear your doubts that your someone special is hard to find and replace it with the feeling that she/she is already in your life, you become calm and at peace.  In this state of mind and relaxed feeling, inspiration will be sent to you.  However, most of the time you will not be led to the exact point at once but there will be people, events and things that will accompany you to reach that desired destination of yours.  But again, you must be able to discern the right inspiration for you to act right away otherwise, you lose your chance.

Wait For It

     Ms. Alice does not say that when you want to wait for your soulmate you will do nothing and just wait for him/her to show up in your life.  There are what she calls inner works to do.  What are these inner works?  One must remove blocks/negative programming/beliefs about the existence of his/her soulmate.  That one does not deserve true love because he/she is overweight, poor and jobless is a limiting belief or negative programming.  If you care to look around, you will get to know people who are sitting in a wheelchair for a long time but have somebody caring for them.  Not being blessed with good looks or not having millions in the bank never gets in the way of sharing a wonderful relationship with a soulmate according to Ms. Alice.  If one meets her/his soulmate this person will always be the best for that soulmate no matter what one has.Other inner works to do are releasing past loves that are still in one's mind and heart, doing a soul call where one recite a line like inviting a soulmate to come into one's life.  Buying a card for special occasion and writing a note in it, removing clutter in one's cabinet in preparation to sharing the space with special someone.  When one does these preparations he/she gives a feeling that a soulmate has arrived and is now in one's life.  The Universe then gives the same situation and you soulmate will be arriving and show up in your place.  When one acts as if her/his special someone is already in his/her life, the law of attraction will deliver the same to that person.

You are complete, whole and perfect

      Even if you are alone at the moment you are still complete, whole and perfect.  No one will complete you because you were born that way.  It is only your limiting belief that makes you feel incomplete without your special someone.  Even if you have had several failed relationships before,  you are still whole, complete and perfect.  When you always feel this way, things will improve  and you enjoy your life more.  When you are not acting desperately needing of somebody to love and just feel that you are loved, soon your soulmate will come along and add more zest into your life.

Are You A Self-help Addict?

Image by Єmma Brown via Flickr

     What type of books do you always search when you hit the bookstore?  Most people who visit the bookstore want to buy novels written by their favorite authors while few like something that deal with personal transformation.  Well, not really bad considering that more and more authors come up with something magical, transforming one to be the best person he is to be.  Like they say "when the student is ready, the teacher appears."   As one adds more years to his existence here on earth, he will always look for that thing that aids him in living a magical life.  Some people say that those statements contained in self-help books only meant to sugar-coat every plain explanation of those attention-seeking authors. They were written to fool those buyers and readers of self-help books , according to them.   There is nothing bad about being fanatic of that kind of book.  Maybe, those statements uttered by such people are just their personal opinions and they based them on those people who never really prosper even after reading tons and tons of self-help books.  Of course, one should not take that personally since each one of us is entitled to his own opinion.

     But then how does one know that he has become a sort of addicted to self-help books?  I bet, one is not really bad-looking like he has overgrown beard and nails, or his hair is way beyond his shoulders which he never washes.  But I have observed some behaviors of those people who become addicted to such type of book.  Here are some points I have discovered:

They always visit the bookstore every week to ask sales personnel about new released books on that category.  Nothing to worry about that except that these people can't seem to wait on the arrival of new books.  They always brag about this to their friends who find them really weird.  Most of the books that they have bought a few days ago are still wrapped in plastic and seems that they do not know when to open them.
They want to appear that something is lacking on them and they want to find the solution to it.  They know how to project themselves, they can explain well what they say and they look intelligent enough to weather those storms that they continue to meet.  But still, they are not contented and they want more.  Seems like they are being controlled by their emotions and minds.
They like to tell people about the thing that makes them busy, alert and smart.  Of course name dropping of famous authors makes one appear very smart and wise, almost like a sage and it impresses their friends and acquaintances.  How much more if they meet their favorite authors in person just by attending their high-priced seminars?  But the positive result may not be evident after all.

     So, what do you do  with those people?  Ignore?  Not the solution, I think.  Tell them to go up the mountain and live like a sage?  Hmmm...can they qualify?  The best thing to do is not to give bad feelings about their actions.  You see, they are perfect wherever they are, whatever frequency they have at the moment.  They are responsible for what is happening in their life and no one has the right to argue about what they do in life.  They just want to express who they are.  Even if their actions and behaviors are irritating to you, do not give negative reaction or else it will be you who needs to read that kind of book.  Now what to do with how you feel at the moment, considering that you always want to read that kind of book but never really have the precious time to do so?  The moment they tell you about their experiences about reading this book makes you think twice about your capabilities, your real self, your wants, your goals.  Now, you seem to be addicted too.  You have this unexplainable itch to go to the bookstore and find something that will make you whole even though you do not have the precious time to do so.  You get stressed and started to blame other people.  Is it really right for you to react that way?  If you think that way, go ahead but do not be clueless about the reason why you attract negative situations in your life.  Like those self-help gurus tell us, do not give negative feelings on those situations that you do not like.  Negative emotions attract negative situations.  So how do you deal with being a self- help addict?

You are enough.   Yes, you can remind yourself that you are enough, at least for now...Remember that you were created after the image of God, that means you are perfect, complete and whole.  But then as you were busy collecting your friends as you grew up, you also embraced their signature statements that seemed to be damaging to you but still, you refused to recognized that way.  You lost your way.  You became  strange, unhappy and alien to your real self.  And this being addicted to self-help books is your way to get back to your original form and self.  Not really bad.  Be sure when to call a time out to it. Be sure to get acquainted with genuine people who can help you find your true path.
Do what you are told to do.  When reading self-help books, your being enlightened comes only when you do those exercises outlined in the book.  Nothing good will ever happen to you when after reading the book, you just sit around and wait for something big to happen.  Progress will be seen after the experiment.
Live a good life by doing good.  Self-help books teach you several ways to live the good life and you can attain that by doing something worthwhile.  This kind of books not only teach you how to get rich but also, how to be wealthy.  Which means all areas of your life are taken into consideration.  When you have meaningful goals, you want to wake each morning full of energy to work on them.  The right path is getting clearer to you.

Are You Chasing Abundance?

     The word abundance confuses many people.  When people are asked about abundance they always think of one thing - MONEY!.  Abundance incorporates a lot of things and it is simply means "ample quantity," "profusion," and so on.  It incorporates everything that makes a human being satisfied and happy.  Relationship, career, other interests may speak of abundance and if all the areas in your life are shouting the word abundance, that means you belong to few good men who know how to attract abundance.

     Most people are still struggling in life even though they have worked so hard for a long time.  The abundant life that they have been dreaming seems nowhere to be found.  They have spent considerable time and effort to chase this kind of life only to find out that the kind of energy that they are giving is the wrong one.  What wrong energy?  As sages and gurus are telling us, everything is about energy.  Our thoughts and feeling have energy and they vibrate and reach the Universe.  The Universe is like a mirror, we always receive what we give.  Chasing abundance reveals there is lack, need and want in one's life and this is the kind of energy that one is giving to the Universe.  In return, the Universe sends situations similar to what one is sending, so he receives in that form that tells of lack, need and want.  Great author Napoleon Hill writes in his book, Think and Grow Rich, that money is shy and timid.  The moment you chase money, it will run away from you.  On the other hand, poverty is bold and ruthless and when you think of it, situations similar to what you are thinking and feeling starts to appear in your life.  This is what the author wants us to learn.   Since then, more and more books are written based on what Hill had conveyed.  What could be the reason why people adhere to this kind of notion and feeling-wrong energy?  Let us see some points to ponder:

     Self-Limiting Beliefs
     Do you have limiting beliefs that keep you from attaining a successful life?  This beliefs were given to you by your parents, friends, relatives, acquaintances which you adapted and tried to live on.  What are these phrases that seemed to stop you from getting what you want in life?
     "You have to work hard to get the money."
      "Money does not grow on trees"
      "My family is poor so I will remain this way"
      "I have big dreams and I don't think I deserve them"
      "Wish I were in another place so I could earn more"
     Do you really deserve to have this kind of life?  If you believe so, you can have it.  So what is the best thing to do to eradicate all these beliefs.  Simply release them from your system.  There are a lot of techniques which you can use to let go of these beliefs.  You can try Sedona Method, Emotional Freedom Technique(EFT) and a lot more.  Search on the web and you will discover which one fits you.  But I really recommend these two techniques because they ask only a few minutes of your time everytime you do it and you are on your way to getting what you deserve.

     Not knowing what you want, who you are
     Do you really know what you want?  Are your dreams yours or from those people around you?  Most people who are experiencing difficulties in life really do not know what they want, they just go with the flow or what you call the "in thing."  They disregard their true feelings and try to live someone else's life by living the dreams dictated by those people around them.  When you reach a certain age and you feel that you have to voice out your opinion, do so.  Rather than live a miserable life, affirm your wants and live  the life that is truly yours.  How do you do this?  Know who you are.  I recommend that you go on meditation 15 minutes a day to get in touch with your inner self.  The path that is really meant for you will be revealed.  Point out your values, the things that matter to you and work on your goals.  You have to have a mission in life to really live a meaningful life.  You were born to do something and this is what you have to find out.

     When you have thought about the above explanations, you would know that by having the same kind of energy you attract what you want.  When we desire good life, we just have to feel what good life is.  When we want abundance, think and feel abundance.  This way you are giving out the same energy.  The energy of abundance is positive so when you feel good, abundance is on its way to you.  Same with money, when you feel good about money, you send out positive feelings to the Universe.  Like attracts like.  The Universe sends you situations that will give you money.  Sounds simple but true.  It is all about feelings and thoughts.  Stop chasing abundance.  Feel it.  But first, eliminate your limiting beliefs and know who you are and what you want.

the Power Of Love

Cover of The Power

     Best selling author Rhonda Byrne came out with a new book entitled The Power.   As usual, the book is an easy-to-read-type and a feel-good-book.  Local bookstores announced the selling of the book two days before it was officially sold.  I was intrigued by its title particularly the short description at the back of the book.  That one is entitled to have an amazing life and the power she is talking about is within us.  There were so many thoughts occupying my mind that time.  I told myself, maybe after reading the book I would become a magician since I just discovered the power in me.  Or I could have anything I desire in just one command.  But all that were blown away as I started reading the book.

     As all motivational gurus are telling us, LOVE is responsible for everything good that is happening in our life.  It is the most powerful feeling.  Love creates good feeling the kind that we need in order to have the best life.  Best life means excellent health, great career, perfect lovelife and experiencing unlimited abundance.  Since feelings and thoughts are perfect combination when it comes to attracting our desires in life,  we should always give love on everything that we do.  So how do you give love to people you encounter everyday?  Tell them that you like their outfit or better yet smile and hug them.  What about those you do not like?  Well, the author simply states that it is safe to turn away without commenting about anything.  That way you do not give any bad feeling. A bad feeling pulls your energy down making you susceptible to negative entities.  They will ruin your day and make you feel sluggish.  It is better that you ignore things that will zap your energy and maintain the good feeling to keep your energy high.

     Somehow, many people are commenting that it is difficult to maintain the good feeling all throughout the day especially when your job calls for entertaining rude people or visiting unruly crowd.  However, Ms. Byrne's reminder of the goodness that we could see in every unfavorable situation that we encounter is enough to keep the level of our energy at its best.

     Good feeling brings great happenings, as she stated in her book, what you give, you receive.  It is a tall order for us to give only love through good feeling to receive whatever good we desire.  For instance, when it comes to money, many are not feeling good about it.  That holds true to those people who are in dire need of money.  When the bills arrive they exclaim, "how am I gonna pay this, I have no money left?"  This reaction speaks of irritation and that person just gave out bad or negative feeling.  Later, he will encounter similar situations.  It will never stop until he switches to good feeling.  One remedy to this is to just imagine that the amount you are paying is the one that you are receiving and that bill, to you, is a check.  That can make a difference.

     The Law of Attraction is always working and no one can escape that.  What we give out, we receive.  It is as simple as that.  Simple yet, quite hard to follow all the time because of the presence of our "teachers" that we encounter everyday.  Those teachers are capable of ruining our day if we give in to them, meaning reacting negatively.  But they can make us strong, even stronger as we learn to react positively in every situation.  Remember that the circumstances that  we are in, whether they are good or bad, are not the real problem, it is the reaction.  The feelings and thoughts that we demonstrate are the most important because they are the preview of our future.

Taking Care of Our Parents: It's Pay back Time

Image by Getty Images via @daylife

     My mother recently had her partial hip replacement surgery.  It was the result of a bad fall she experienced a few months ago.  At first, I was hoping that no fracture had ever occurred in her lower extremities.  Well, I never wanted to be in the hospital because it has been a long time since the last time I set foot in that establishment.  My heart was beating faster when we went to Orthopedic hospital for a check up one week after her fall.  So many thoughts were running in my mind like how could I possibly blog when I had to be with her in the hospital?; how could I submit my entries in a contest that I was joining that time?; how could I practice the techniques that I learned from the seminar that I recently attended?  Guess what?  It became automatic for me to use a technique that I learned from the seminar and it worked.  No, we were not advised to go home.  We were told that my mother had to be confined because there was indeed a fracture on her thigh bone.  On the neck of her right femur to be exact.  The head was affected and had to be replaced with prosthesis.  So, I conceded and accepted that I would be sleeping in the hospital until the doctor tells us to go home.

     We were taken to a room filled with aging female patients with one of their legs placed in a traction.  That was awful and I felt sad about it.  But then, the technique was working that time.  People seemed nice to us, a caregiver gave me a seat and somebody lent an electric fan to us.  My mother and I survived the first night as we just ignored the heat that we felt that time.

     I just did what I had to do.  I went on with writing my entries and submitted them.  But I had to set aside my blogging for the time being.  My schedule would not permit me, it was too tight.  Gradually, we gained new friends  and we never experienced boredom and fear at that moment.  My mother had a successful operation and to my surprised, a former student showed up to be my mom's therapist.  Truly, when you thought of good things and just relaxed, too many wonderful moments would happen in your life.  We relived some good moments and I got a brief review of what to expect once the patient got out of the hospital.  I graduated with a degree in Physical Therapy but I no longer practice the course.  Good thing, an acquaintance popped up and gave me a good lecture about my mom's condition.

     It has been more than three months since my mom's operation and she is doing well.  Although we have not gone back to her doctor, I still do what is to be done and I surf the net if I need something to learn about her condition.  I gave my time for her, much of my time.  Sometimes, I think about the book that I am writing.  I stopped writing the draft when she was in the hospital and until now I have not written a single word as follow up for the draft.  I look at my calendar and it says that three months had passed since the last time I got hold of the draft.  Yes, there are times that I feel left behind by colleagues and I secretly envy their success stories.  They have more great happenings and they seem to be enjoying their life.  But when I look at my mom, I know that I will get more than what other people have received and that is for sure.  I am paying her back for what she had done to me when I was just crawling and needing love and affection.  Even our Pastors are telling me that I will be receiving more blessings because I take care of my own parent.  Wow, I hope those blessings are aligned to what I have been praying for.  I know God is always listening to me.

     By the way, I would like to tell that my entries were chosen and that I had won thousands for that.  Furthermore, I learned how to cook although I could never imitate the way my mom cook her specialties, still I take pride with what I have gained so far.  I continue to do the techniques I got from the seminar and I always put in my mind that my reaction is more important than the circumstances I am experiencing at the moment.  I look for the good in it and I find some from it.  This is part of my journey and there is always a lesson to learn that will inspire me to continue my mission.  The blessings that will come to me are good motivators and I know that I am deserving of them.

     It feels good that I can serve now that I am still strong and able to do what should be done.  It would be a pity when I am called for something that I could no longer perform simply because my muscles and bones would not permit me.  Parents are there to support  us and we should pay them back when it is time for us to do so.  That is life.  Going against the grain is not allowed.  Or you would be really left behind as your colleagues start collecting their blessings...and even yours.


     

The Most Important Person In Your Life

Who is the most important person in your life?  Maybe you would like to tell me that you cannot really answer the question because you have thought of so many people who currently occupy spaces in you mind.  I know you will think of many names and from those images that keep on flashing in your mind, you can always come up with one unanimous choice of yours.   No matter who your choice is, you will always fail my expectation.  Why?   Even if I do not know you personally, through this question I can easily say that there is one person that you always neglect and sad to say, he or she is truly the most important person in your life.  Who is this person?  Wanna know now?   That person is YOU.

I cannot blame you for not mentioning yourself.  Maybe because that question pertains to other person or...you are so shy to say that it is you.  One more guess and I tell you that this is the real reason, you never consider yourself  SPECIAL.   All your life you work hard to maintain your good image by studying in the most prestigious university in your area, graduating with honors, working in a company that is well known all over the world.  Yet, you always disregard your importance in your life.  Why do we always do that-forgetting to include ourselves in the list and then we fret once others exclude us  in whatever important things they do?  Maybe we lack self-confidence.  Maybe we do not want to be in the limelight to escape envy and being talked about all the time.  Yet, secretly we wanted the whole world to know that we exist and we are doing great.  When we received awards or recognition we wanted that in something tangible or something that we can hold or proudly display in our homes.  Most of us have a space called fame or spotlight area where all our plaques and certificates are displayed so that others will know that we are living our dreams and we excel in that field.  During gatherings or reunions, even if it is not yet our turn to speak, we find ways to interrupt others so we can brag about our achievements not knowing that some of us become subjects of gossips of those who envied us.

But why is it that we have to always think that we are really important?  Here are some important points that answer that question:

It gives us the energy to do what we want to do:  Our feelings are important when we face whatever it is that we have to do for the day.  Knowing that we are really that important or special, we become happy ans inspired to take the neccessary actions to be able to achieve our goals for the day.  Our energy is that high and gives us the chance to show our creativity and talents.  We cannot really work on our goals when we are tired, sad and angry.  It cripples our chances to show what we can really do and our work is substandard and we can be labeled as mediocre.  Besides, being a negative person is never an asset.  People will always leave somebody with this kind of energy.

We become true achievers:  We set our goals and then think of the ways to achieve them.  It does not stop there.  We actually perform those steps that we outlined in order to achieve our dreams.  Our dreams do not center on ours alone.  We also include others that can benefit from the goodness that we do.  We share our knowledge to others, we appropriate time to be of service to them.  Most of all, we share with others the prize that we reap.  Those are true achievers.

We become a role models: Important person deserves attention, a lot of attention and with that he becomes conscious of his attitude towards others; he is now aware of his actions; what he say becomes important too.  He learns to behave in a way that others will not be offended.  He must form words that will only soothe others' senses.  The change that we want will have to come from us and must begin from us.  When one becomes a role model, it follows that most people will aspire to be one, too.  But the responsibilities are not that light and should never be taken for granted.  Knowing that a role model can affect lots of people, one really projects a positive image that can even change the way of the world.

We live a purposeful life:  Most people work so hard day in, day out to make ends meet,  if not to make themselves rich.  But these people do not really seek what is important to them.  They just go with the flow- study, graduate with the courses not intended for them, work to build their houses and fill in their bank accounts until they are up for retirement.  These people seem to be clueless of what is really there for them.  God has given them talents to use to make this world  a better place to live in but they chose to take another path only to find out that what they do is meaningless.  They get involved in miserable relationships, they work with ruthless people and receive what is not due them.  This is the result of low self-esteem simply because they do not regard themselves as important.  They are not aware of their capabilities and intelligence to do something worthy in their lifetime.  For people who see themselves as important, they seek in their hearts God's plan for them.  They do what God has told them and they live a happy life knowing that they are of service to others and they get paid so well.

We are capable of creating the kind of life we desire:  We feel the power within us and that power is intense, capable of turning things around.  We dream so high and with that power and right action, we can possibly reach that dream.  Possibilities are infinite, endless because we are so inspired to be creators of the things we desire.  We continually receive inspirations from the Divine and the instructions are so clear, we can do what is good for us.  We become students for life and the lessons that we are learning are helping us compose our aspirations and achieve them.  Those obstacles that perenially show to scare us seem to be small battles that need not be taken seriously because we become warriors that are ready to attack them once they strike.  Being designers of our life is an easy course.

We can always expect miracles to happen:  Everything good can happen to us.  Small ones.  Big ones. With the way we treat ourselves, blessings can come to us.  We believe in ourselves, we have confidence, we love ourselves, we accept who we are, we show who we are in everything we do, we are proud of who we are, expect people to treat us good, too.  With that, we can attract what we desire and our life will never be the same again.

Now, start treating yourself well.  Be reminded that we are created by God and all of us are His children.  All of us deserve special attention and we can only receive that if we regard ourselves the most important creation in this world.  From now on,  You are the most important person in your life.

Mental Housecleaning

     What are you thinking right now?  Your dreams, goals, things that you want to buy?  Or are they your everyday pressures, enemies, problems?  At this moment, may I ask you to forget those thoughts and proceed to go into silence for at least 5 minutes?   Maybe you are at a lost as to how are you going to do it.  Just sit or stand where you are right now and close your eyes.  Take a deep breath and hold it for 7 seconds and exhale.  Do this again.  Relax now and think of nothing.  Let go of your problems, excitement and any feelings you have.  Be still and stay that way for a while.  Now take a deep breath again hold it for 7 seconds, exhale and open your eyes.  Feeling better?  Absolutely yes.  You just meditated.  This simple activity brings a lot of benefits to you.  What I have asked you to do was a simple mental housecleaning.  Do you notice that when your mind is free of any cobwebs you can actually think and act better?  That is because you have gained some clarity when you let go of your thoughts.

      A lot of us bombard our mind with lots of thoughts and most of them are destructive to us.  Successful people know how to use their mind and they see their mind as a tool that can help them achieve their goals.  What exactly are the contents of their mind?   Success thoughts.  Not only the steps on how to conquer their dreams but also the steps on how to conquer their fears.  They have created several affirmations that they feed into their mind so that very, very soon they will act according to what their mind is thinking about.  They have programmed their mind to become successful through the kind of thoughts they have in their mind.

     So for those who are struggling all their life, we know the kind of thoughts they have in their mind.  Negative thoughts.  Most of us know the consequences of instilling this kind of thoughts in our mind.  But we are hard headed.  Several Secret Teachers have appeared and appealed to us to think only of happy thoughts to attract happy experiences but some never really bothered to do so.  Truly,  most people are programmed not to release their destructive thoughts simply because they are afraid of accepting new experiences.  Truly, embracing change is a hard task to do.  Doing new activities reveals our weaknesses and even ignorance sometimes and we are afraid to show all these to anyone for fear of rejection.   This is something deep.  We all know where this will lead us if we continue to sabotage our mind, if we continue to plant wrong seeds into it.

     Some people are kind of lucky they go into some trials and learn lessons from them.  These lessons trigger them to act accordingly, meaning wiser this time around to face challenges in life.  That facing obstacles require not only the lessons you have acquired from years of studying in school but also the tough mind you have programmed to succeed.  Many times over, we claim that we can overcome any humps and bumps when we go out in the street only to find out that we are short of mind power.  We get easily intimidated, scared and overwhelmed because we still carry with us some limiting beliefs that keep us from moving forward.  We have fears and it all starts to come out when we think negatively of ourselves and the situations we are in.

     We can prepare our mind to face our dragons - our fears.  We must let go of our beliefs that do not make us great.  We must clean our mind, sweep those negative thoughts and replace them with seeds of success.  It may be hard at first to do it but if we could only think of the valuable experience we would be having when we do it,  now is the best time to go for it.

      I encourage you to meditate daily to clear your mind.  Acquire some power.  Build a better version of you.   Put your past behind you, it should never be accessed again.   Your future can be created beautifully.  How?  By instilling good thoughts in your mind daily.  Remember that you can attract what you think about most of the time and your future is just around the corner.  Your future can be later, tomorrow, next month, next year and so on.  If you want a better life start feeding your mind with great thoughts.  Great mind creates great person.  Bear that in mind.
