“Some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all—in which case, you fail by default.” ~J.K. Rowling Think about the mistakes that you have made in your life. I encourage you to make new and better mistakes each day. The time will pass by anyway. But if you never take a risk, will you ever find the rewards you seek?
In your book of life, let no one else hold the pen. People we meet in our lives may do their best to determine our value. We must always have the last say on how much we are worth. The way we carry ourselves. The way we treat our bodies. The way we nourish our minds. Our sense of self worth is evident to all who see us, but an original will always be worth more than a copy. Remember this whenever someone tries to decide your value. That decision rests with you alone. You will always be worth as much as you say you are.
Whatever we absorb becomes a part of us. Whatever we consume we start to create. Ultimately, we turn into what we tune into. Make sure you are tuned into the things that you want to see in your life. Be so tuned into to what you want to be in your life. Wherever your awareness goes, energy flows. When energy starts to flow you will meld with that energy. Everything is energy. The words that are written that you read in a book are energy. Listening to my voice in this podcast is a form of receiving energy. You must decide what energy you wish to have in your life. Stay tuned my friend!
Often we wait for the perfect moments to start instead of taking the moments and making them perfect. When you realize that you will never have the perfect day you will make your days count. Make your own luck. Discover your flaws through execution. Find out what you are good at and learn what you are great at. Find out what you can work on. Polish your skills on the journey. Don’t wait for a destination to come to you. Because to hell with circumstances; you create opportunities.
Imagine you’re holding a glass of water. If you hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If you hold it for an hour, you’ll have an ache in your arm. If you hold it for a day, your arm will feel numb and paralyzed. The weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer you hold it, the heavier it becomes. Stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them for longer and they begin to hurt. Think about them all day long and you’ll feel paralyzed unable to do anything. Let go of the glass as early as you can.
What habits have you been making in your life? Have your habits been moving you forward? Or have they been pulling you back? We all make choices, but it in the end our choices make us. Learn to deal with the cause and the not just the effects. For first we create our habits and then our habits create us. It is always within your power to create a new habit. Don’t be fooled by temptation and thinking your habits are permanent. They are just that. Habits. Allow consistency to be the key for more mastery in your life.
Do you have peace in your life? Do you want peace in your life? If you want to cultivate peace, understand that it starts with you. What does it mean to you and how far would you be willing to go to have peace? What would you sacrifice for peace? Will peace make you whole? Never allow anyone to disturb your peace. For peace is always within your power. Peace and love my friend.
Our relationships are either hurting us or helping us. But these relationships don’t just exist with other people. In fact, we share relationships with all the energy around us all of the time. What kind of relationships have you built with the things in your world? With food? With money? With clothes? With your car? With nature? All these things are made of energy. When you change your energetic relationships you can change your life.
In your life, can you think of times when you were influenced by words? What about your own words? Or the words of other people? Did you ever change things about yourself because of someone else’s words? In this episode you will learn the power of words and how they can be harmful or helpful. They can raise you up or bring you down. We must understand that words are weapons. Our words have power to change things. Use them with care my friend.
What would you do without the light of the sun? Can you imagine a life without it? How differently would things be for you? I myself don’t want a life without the sun. Hot though it may be, its beautiful energy fills me each day and allows me to give light to others. I believe there are safe ways to take in the suns energy. Learning how to do things can bring feelings that you may have never experienced but were right in front of you all along. Embrace the sun my friend and it will embrace you too.
