It's never too late!

It is never too late to pick yourself back up! Keep pushing for the goals and the self-image you are destined for!  Make a mission out of life. Never give yourself up to those inhibitions that make you have fear. Is this the life you wanted? Are you satisfied with your current situation? If not quit the things that inhibit you and find other things that help your mission.

That was a little something that I was thinking about tonight, I know it's short compared to the other post, but I hope you were able to get pumped by it. 

It has been some time since I wrote a blog post. In that time, things have changed for the best. I want to continue to write for this blog like I used to. For anyone out there still visiting this blog, thank you for your patience and support. I want to write every day so that I may be able to motivate, enlighten, and inform you. 

Until next time, 

Wholeness and balance!

The Journey

The journey begins where you want to start. It can be at any moment. We humans the incredible ability that separates us from all animals that allows us to coordinate our actions. When taking the first action of whatever you desire, never look back. Realize that the actions you just committed is before you and you can use it as a lesson tool. Actions that you commit in the present over a prolong period of time really shows growth. The plant can only grow as big as the pot it is in. You must be the mighty sequoia that is firmly planted in the ground ready to grow over time no matter what may come.

It's not about the desired results. You must find meaning in the task that you do and focus less on the desired outcome. The journey of life is your narration. You are responsible for the actions and reactions you send off. Let yourself bask in the present, analyze and lay to rest the past, and keep moving forward with humbility, knowing where you came from.

Until next time,

Wholeness and balance.

Changing Attitudes and Behaviors

Begin with a sincere appreciation for the individual. Each person is unique with their own talents and specialty. Praise them for their accomplishments, or pointing out something special in them. The trick is to make them feel important and wanted.

Give them criticism indirectly. Wise people tell tales to make a point to an individual. They do not attack them directly. Humans make mistakes, but when one directly calls attention to their mistakes they often feel threatened.

One should criticize themselves first before they criticize others. This law has been taught in many books, including the bible which states, "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?" It only makes sense to look inwardly to find mistakes within yourself, before you start to find mistakes in others.

Instead of ordering someone to do something, ask critical questions to make them go about a behavior you want them to do. No one likes to hear a person bark orders. One must speak from the other person's situation and ask significant questions that make them think of the right thing to do.

In every improvement praise them sincerely and wholeheartedly. A person builds on confidence given to them by others. It is a powerful tool to change a person's attitudes and behaviors. Praising them is not a simple "good job", it is reminding them why they do the things they do. Praise others for their improvement, you never know how often they hear it.

Be optimistic and to give encouragement. Situations happen in which one does not have control, it is important for you to sympathize and be optimistic about the situation. Make it seem easily manageable and could be taken down with ease. Make them feel excited to the things that you suggest. You are providing them a window of hope.

Friendship

The idea of friendship seems to be a certain bond that it is shared between individuals that have interpersonal forms of communication. They tend to recognize that their emotions are mutually assured due to past experiences; The past meaning the individual sand particle that drops from the hourglass. Sharing vibes as they now like to call it, is having more than just a conversation, but it is the exchange individual's emotions and memories. Exchange for one's time for another's time is the ultimate respect you can give to someone. Why let that negative person take your time away from the many possibilities that exist? You shared a destructive past with this individual, learn from it, continue to progress forward. The sand will collect at the end of the hourglass and have to be flipped once more.

Building friendships is one the most sacred things about life. The union of individuals driven by an idea, motivated by each other, building one another, are some of the many outcomes that can occur from a strong bond. The bond is built not only built by compatibility, but is by helping that individual grow. Giving back to your friends and those around ultimately form an exchange that happens within in their mind, that allows you to build these beautiful strong connections that exist in nature. We can think how packs of animals hunt better together, how colonies of ants can make marvelous structures, how the cells in our boy multiple in unionship; Each share synchronicity. Synchronicity exist within in a society or in a group when things appear to the whole as the right the thing to do, could be animalistic, humanistic, or rational based forms of bonds that occur.

Depending on the type of bond being shared you can either move in two ways, one, building a stronger bond with this individual or group, or two, stop exchanging your time with these individuals. You already know which individuals in your life you need to stop exchanging with. You also know what individuals you need to build stronger relationships with; To help each other out for mutual exchanges for the greater good. If you decide to build a stronger relationship with that person, due so with the purest form of your being, you should not have to shroud your true self with the mask and cape you put on for the rest of the world. This lets you first of be comfortable with yourself, but with the other individuals, and if they condemn you from this, stop the exchange of time you have with these individuals. By being yourself this lets others have the chance to share their ideas of a number of stuff, furthering the bond of exchangement between the individuals.

Now, let's say you take the second path, depending on the severity of the damaging relationship, you must eliminate contact with this person.Obviously will think about this person, but just remember the harmful things they have done, and the stuff that you didn't deserve, use this as fuel to drive better forms of bonds between the right people and use it to progress yourself. It's tough to say that life is cruel sometimes - you have things happen to you that no human should experience here on earth and it is usually done by the ones you love most. Do not let this discourage you, this only but a fraction of your life that your experiencing, use it to empower you physically and most importantly mentally.When the hourglass finally breaks the only thing that mattered was how strong the sand was able to stick together.

Human Nature

As we grow, we acquire traits from our peers and environment. These traits mold our behavior and relations with other people. It also has much to do on how one views the nature of man. Of course the nature of man has differences. We are not all the same. We can only cluster to those that have similar views upon the nature of man. Looking back through time, we can find three basic assumptions on human nature.  These common assumptions lead to various behavioral adaptations that one experience throughout life.

People have three common theories about human nature: humanistic, animalistic, or rational. This does not mean all people fall into one category, usually you can find people that fits in or the other, or just fits one. However the case may be surely you can gain some insight in yourself and others.

From the humanistic approach, a person is driven by humane concerns for self and others. They feel affection, mercy, and compassion. The humanistic individual is self-actualizing, meaning they seek for finding one's true potential. There is little outside control, since the humanistic individual will practice self-control through the concerns of themselves and others. 

Based on the Animalistic viewpoint, the nature of human beings is no different from that of the other animals that inhabit our planet. Driven by the biological urges and seeking gratification of those urges, human animals must be controlled by laws, morals,religion, and other forms of institutionalization. 

According to the rational theory, human beings are rational. Meaning they are inherently neither good nor evil. They are driven by intellect and reason. The individual is controlled by logical thinking and the judgement of the consequences of their actions to themselves and others. 

If we embrace the animalistic theory, we will probably approach others competitively and cautiously. We will feel the need to raise up our guard and protect ourselves. We will not trust people with information as it might be used against us. We search for ways as a society to control animalistic deviant behaviors. 

We put on a whole need pair of eyes when we view people in the humanistic approach. We will assume that people will not hurt us intentionally, therefore trusting them with information. We will be cooperative. The only control we will need in this case is knowledge. By being aware that you are doing something harmful, the humanistic person attempts to modify their behavior in accordance to one. 

If we view people as rational beings, we negotiate with them on a logical basis for mutually beneficial and compatible behaviors. We could discuss with them our feelings, attitudes, needs, and goals. We can work with them solving problems with reasonable and equal work. 

There is something about this that lets us explore ourselves deeply. One may find that one identifies with all three. When this is the case changing your nature, you have to separate the animal, rational, and human side of your soul, if you want to change one. Depending on which one you embrace you support more of the habits it entails. This could be used to help you personally grow, or help those around you grow as well. 

Till next time, Wholeness and Balance to all.

Stop Worrying

It has been proven that having built up negative emotions like worry, sadness, and anger all affect your health in a bad way. We get these emotions, because we are not satisfied with the outcome of a particular situation that you had expectations for. Stop. Expectation. Having expectations for trivial things is causing inner conflicts within you. It is one thing to have an expectation for yourself, with your goals and aspirations, that is fine, but for things out of your control like other people's emotion or life in general is where it needs to halt, for the fact that it is causing negative vibrations(emotions) on the physical plane and spiritual plane. The fact that you are thinking about it is sending a message to the universe, and the universe responds back with what you fed it. This also leads you to basically eat yourself inside making you vulnerable to many outside sinister forces. One way to combat worrying is to avoid arguments internally and externally, by keeping yourself really busy. You see it is really hard focusing on two things at once. Focusing on your work, you leave no room for those thoughts to appear in your mind. If you truly life live in the now, doing everything with the slightest detail of observation, you begin to foster a mental barrier that shields you from negative thoughts. An old saying my teacher told me one day was, "Idle hands are the devil's workshop".

Living life in the now is also a must to stop the inflictions of these negative emotions. Living life in the now basically boils down to this - for every second that passes it's now in the past, there is also a window for a second to be in the future. You cannot remain present in either or. You are constantly moving forward, along with earth traveling through space at a whopping 1000 miles per hour(1600 km/hr) , there is no reason to look in the past expect to learn from it, and leave it be. There is no need to bring up old arguments and criticize others for past mistakes. Instead focus on you in the now. Plan for the future, but do not expect for the future to act in your favor, regardless of all the planning you do, the future, is undecided, unbiased, and cold. You can't worry that the future is not going to be good, you have hope for the best. You also can't worry in the now,because regardless if you like it or not it is happening without your control.

Therefore, take life in the now, focus on your being, and perfecting yourself, before you judge the character of another. We all must obtain the higher forces within us all. Operating our mind on the highest frequencies, we will be able to progress the human race in a bold, striking force. Being able to put aside everything of fear, worry, doubt, and all the other rotten emotions, your mind is able to focus on what you want it to, so choose higher emotions, like forgiveness, love, peace, creation, and harmony. You being to see the world in a new pair of eyes. You begin to look at people unjudging knowing that they have wills of their own. Each living thing on earth has it is meaning in this universe, why shall you judge, why shall you torment your brothers and sisters, when life itself is too short, and unpredictable. Every person in their heart at some point wants success for themselves, for their family, and friends, but most of the time they are conquested by the negative destruction energy that surrounds them and blocks their creative centers, making it very difficult to obtain growth internally and externally. First begin to understand yourself, train your mind to fight these forces, focus on the now, focus on the beautiful creation of life, it's uniqueness, it's sophistication. Find balance. Bust your ass off creating things, learning new material, and developing yourself physically and emotionally. Before you leave this life, make a mark in history.

Until next time. Wholeness and Balance to all.
