Tranquility

How to live the life of your dreams?

Everyone ask this question all the time because humans are just not satisfied no matter the situation they are in. The mind is all there is to blame for this. The human mind is very complex. However we try to understand how the human mind works, there seems to be another story that debunk the previous one. Or there seems to be several stories supporting one but still, everyone has their own opinion and everything seems to make sense.

There is no right or wrong in any opinion. It is only opinion. Every mind works differently. Instead of understanding how the human mind works as a whole, perhaps we should be looking into ourselves. What is it that our mind is thinking?

Sometimes we feel like we are in heaven. Sometimes we feel like we are in hell. However we feel, it is strong at that very moment. However we feel, can last for a long time. However we feel, will determine how we look at life.

Everyone has their own mindset about things going on around them. Perhaps everyone is just looking too far. Everyone is just being the norm. Everyone is just doing the same things.
Looking at how some people can be so successful in their lives and we are not.
Looking at how some people are the gem of the crowd and we are not.
Looking at how some people can just leave everything behind in chase of their dreams and we are stuck where we are in the same situation ten years ago.

We may think that it is because they are different. We may think that they have super powers within them, but really, they are just regular human beings like you and I. What is it that they are doing differently from us? Why are they up there and we are down here? How did they become the person they are today? It is all in the mind.

We are all born with the same physique. The only difference is how we choose to work the mind that we have.

What do you do when you face a problem in front of you? Do you moan and groan over the situation? Or do you take it as a challenge and put yourself through the test? What are you willing to do to solve the problem that you are facing? Are you going to do it alone? Are you going to get help from others?

Success do not come overnight. Success is built over time. If you are determined to achieve success in your life, there is much work to be done.

You need to believe in your vision.
You need to be consistent with your mission.
You need to be disciplined.
You need to stay on course.
You need to adapt to changes but still stay true to yourself.
You start something, and you make sure you get through till the end.
You insist.
You take failure as a lesson.
You turn all negative comments into positive inputs.
You do whatever it takes to make your dreams come true.
You help people along the way.
You are you.
You live your own life and let no one tell you otherwise.
You can do it.
You can be the success.
You can be the influence.
You can be the model.
You are capable.
Believe in yourself.

Affirmations daily can lift the spirit. Keep telling yourself that you can do it all the time. Tell yourself right the moment when you wake in the morning. Tell yourself throughout the day in whatever you do. Tell yourself every evening before going to bed. Remind yourself that you are worthy. That is the most important of all.

If you did something wrong along the way, it is fine. Forgive yourself. Learn from your mistakes and let go of the grunge in you.

If someone did you wrong along the way, it is fine. Forgive that person. Allow yourself to open up to help the person instead of keeping the anger within you. When you forgive, you are letting yourself free.

Only then, you can find tranquility within you. Only then, you will realize that life is simple

 

It is in your power to withdraw yourself whenever you desire. Perfect tranquility within consists in the good ordering of the mind, the realm of your own.
