Our Authentic Self

It's curious how we know the outcome of certain circumstances yet we don't allow ourselves to fully grasp or feel what the truth really is. We know the outcome but we don't acknowledge what we know deep inside will be the inevitable outcome. I think we all could use a healthy dose of reality on a regular basis. This life being lived in the realm of denial will only lead to the presdestined conlusions which we surpress. Everyday make an effort to acknowledge different areas or subjects of your life in which you find yourslef repressing the inevitable. Now, I know this is way easier said than done, but by working hard to realize and identify these moments in which we find ourselves in patterns of denial only then can we begin to sober ourselves to the true authenticity of out life. When one finds themselves denying any point take that moment to identify it and attempt to understand the egos reason for surpressing the issue and then we can begin to build our authentic self. Deal with the issus you deny youself and you will find your life to be a more pleasant and authentic place to exist. A trully auuthentic person is someone that everyone wants to be around and more importantly trusts. The truth that lies within us is the truth that will set us free.

Make It Happen

It’s hard for us to realize how lucky we are for what we have at this very moment no matter what that means to each of us. If we could only swallow our self defeating thought patterns and realize that we are worthy and beautiful people who deserve to feel satisfied and significant only then we would be able to allow ourselves to feel true satisfaction regardless of our situation. The attainment and possession of material things only further the need to continue the negative and self defeating pattern of possessions collection. We may even get to a point where we have every possession in the world and only then, hopefully, we would be able to realize that none of these possessions and all of that wasted time could satisfy us in the manner that we yearn. Only the simple decision and proliferation of a positive thought pattern in which we are worthy and currently enjoy everything we need to be truly happy, then we will be able to bathe in the blessing of experiencing the immensely valuable and constructive feeling of gratitude and self satisfaction. Make yourself believe, even if you have to lie to yourself, that whatever you yearn for, you have it now. We have all lied to ourselves in a negative capacity, now it’s time to put that practice of self-deception to positive work. I’m not saying to become completely delusional of reality, but to simply attempt to make yourself believe these positive considerations. Make it happen in your mind and it will happen in your life.

Never Give Up

Perseverance is one of the most important attitudes we can chose apply. We cannot be denied what we truly want when we refuse to give up on it until we have it. No matter what it is as long as we continue to fight for it then it will be close to becoming reality. There is no such thing as dreaming too big. There have people in the past that were considered insane for what their dreams were, but once they attained them they changed the world. We all possess this power no matter what sex you are, where you come from, what your name is, what you look like, or anything else can keep you from what you truly want as long as you refuse to give up. Be true to yourself, work hard, and never give up and you can have everything you can dream of. Limits and fear are something we create in reality they don’t exist. Nothing should ever hold you back from achieving what you truly want. Fear, excuses, and procrastination are tools of a weak person. A strong person understands that these things are there to keep you from what you want so they don’t let these things rule them. Life is short so take advantage of every opportunity you have to achieve, better your life and those of others, and never stop striving for better.

Just For Today...

The harsh reality of our lives is that every moment we live is another moment we may have wasted. If we could really look at our lives in Macro approach we would realize that every moment in our lives is but a pixel in the larger picture that makes up our extraordinary lives. Therefore, we must take this perspective of knowing that each moment no matter how mundane or insignificant we may think it may be is a blessed moment we had the privilege to experience. Also, if we find ourselves in a moment of stress, anger, disappointment, or melancholy we must realize that these moments are merely insignificant and will pass when considering the larger picture of our lives. But, just like a picture, our entire lives will fly by like a snap shot.

Looking back on fond memories makes me realize that we often don’t recognize the significance of a chance meeting, living or even being somewhere, sharing even a simple moment whether alone or with some else are moments that will hold special significance in our hearts once they are appreciated retrospectively. I have been truly privileged to have met and shared countless superb and unforgettable times with some truly exceptional, unique, and beautiful individuals.
I take this moment, as I have taken others before, to feel truly blessed and humbled by the presence and occurrence of sharing moments I have enjoyed with many people throughout my hallowed life. I will sincerely and continually make an effort to let these people know how I feel about them with no agenda or expectations what so ever.

If we can look at our lives and realize the honour we have had to share the moments have and to possess the things that we currently have and have had in the past, then we will realize that we have and have had everything we need. Once we make this change of thought we will experience true gratitude and satisfaction at numerous levels of our lives. Everything we have always wanted we can have now by simply realizing (and maybe convincing ourselves) that we have it all. Most of us have been honestly blessed to have never gone without the things we need to not only survive but flourish and enjoy lavishly in our lives. If we would have gone without then we would have had the experience and hopefully the wisdom to see that we are now blessed beyond expectations. We do not need to go without, suffer, or sacrifice in order to attain the wisdom that allows us to come to the realization that we have it all now.

If we can start, even just for today, to love everyone you can sincerely and without fear then truly special moments will be born without expectations. Those who react negatively to your efforts will have to deal with their own demons.
Just for today love, understand, and experience unconditionally.

I dedicate these thoughts to all of you special and beautiful people that have shaped my life without even realizing you were doing so. I am eternally appreciative for your influence in making me who I am, and more importantly, thanks for being you!

A Few Passing Thoughts...

Do not struggle against the current when down stream is where you need to be.

Not Yesterday, Not Today, Not Even Tomorrow, Life is Today.

The best battle that can be won is the internal struggle.

Happiness is just a decision away.
