What exactly does this mean?  Why is it what it is? The window of reality is the same for the entire human race.  The window of reality is no longer valid because too many people are finding how to step outside of the window of reality. All the facts and events in our lives are our history. When you develop a philosophical attitude towards life, you began to develop a system of philosophical doctrine.  This book will help you change your reality by changing your way of thinking.

Life is short and why would you spend your life not living out your dreams?   Reality forces us to look at life.  We begin to ask is this what life is all about?  Why are others living the lives of their dreams?  Why was I dealt a bad hand in life? Why does life seem unfilled? Taking the time to examine ourselves takes a great deal of courage. We do not want to see the imperfections in our lives.  We cannot handle the truth.  The truth is exactly what we need if we want to live our dreams.  That is when we discover why it is what it is.  You have to make a decision to live, as you want. Your life is your reality.

What do you see?

We all have unique perspectives and unique experiences, which lead to opportunities for growth and evolution.  Life is a mirror.  What happens to you on the outside is a reflection of what is going on the inside.

Any person that comes in your life is a mirror reflection of an aspect of yourself.  The aspects can show love that you express for yourself or feelings of fear, guilt, resentment that you carry with you.  People that you like and the people you do not like are showing you something that you need to be aware of, for whatever reason.

The mirror of life does not lie.  It does not show you what you want to see.  It shows you what you need to face.  The things that you experience may seem to be going against the odds of what you are trying to achieve.

You cannot evolve if you do not face the consequences.  You cannot learn if you do not know what you have done.  You are the creator of your reality.  If you do not like what you see, then why are you creating it?

When we resist we suppress our emotions.  Tension builds in our subconscious mind creating circumstances that are not explained.  When you are shown something, you do not like in life you have to face it, learn from it, and release the emotional baggage that you have associated with it.  By doing this, you are allowing yourself to grow and evolve.

Life is full of Dreams

Our children are our future and it is up to everyone to make sure that our children have faith, support, and belief in a promising future. Adults play a crucial part in teaching our children how to believe in their dreams.

An adult’s perceptions of life are passed on to children consciously or unconsciously.  Children rely on adults to provide them with direction and guidance.

The belief in dreams is important for children.  Adults can help children believe and achieve by believing that it is possible for the child to accomplish anything that seems impossible at the time.

Adults must pay attention to a child’s interest, talents, and abilities and support them.

Adults must teach children how to visualize their future by encouraging them.

Adults must teach children morals and values that will impact society as a whole.

Adults must teach children how to dream and think big and to never settle for anything less.

Adults must encourage a child to be the best at whatever they choose to be.

Adults must set an example by constantly striving to make dreams possible by being true to themselves.

Don't try to believe. Know what you believe

“There is nothing more powerful than a made up mind”~Les Brown

Ever since the day I decided to walk in my life’s path, everything around me changed.  I let go of my doubts, fears, and negativity.  By doing this, I was able to see that everything in my life was a constant reminder of who I thought I was.

My thoughts were destructive and I could not figure out what was the cause.  My thoughts created my actions, which led me to believe that I was unworthy.  The dilemma I faced was I did not believe in myself.  You can not eliminate any negative behavior without understanding why you do it to begin with.

Do not try to BELIEVE you can do something. Instead KNOW that you can do it and belief will no longer be necessary.

Your hidden power

Learning to Trust your intuition

Have you had an experience when you felt like something was going to happen?  . When you feel strongly about something without logical basis to it that is called intuition. Sensing clearly is what we refer to as “hunch” or “gut feeling.” This is the time when you are overwhelmed with a feeling and you can’t explain it and all you can say is “I just know.”

Why the need to trust intuition?

First, intuition promotes good communication. It makes you more sensitive to the people around you; it often keeps you from hurting those you love because you are intuitive enough to understand them. Intuition also makes you far more creative than ever. Intuition means releasing more creative juices for an expression. Lastly, intuition has a healing power. This healing power is not in the physical sense, but in delving deep into your soul to eradicate some negative energy buried in it.

Are you ready to develop your intuition? Here are some ways to unlock your intuition

Avoid Toxic People

When you are surrounded by toxic people your energy is being drained.  Make sure you only surround yourself with people who are uplifting and encouraging.  Don’t fall prey to people who point out your flaws constantly.  There is a difference between someone who has your best interest in mind than a person who constantly finds ways to make you feel unworthy.

Meditation

Meditating means finding peace in yourself. If your mind and heart are cluttered with too many baggage and hurt, you wouldn’t be able to quiet down that part of you that could eventually initiate intuition.

Always think positive!

A positive mindset could do so much to improve your intuitive ability. By staying positive, you attract good energy that can be easy to recognize.

Just let go

What does this mean? If you are on the brink of making a huge decision, let go of all the inhibitions and head to a quiet place where you could find out where the letting go has brought you. Sometimes you just have to listen to the voice within you, and that voice wouldn’t come out unless you let go.

Never expect

After letting go of the inhibitions and all those things that stop you from thinking and feeling clearly, never expect for an answer right away. Never expect that the “hunch” would fall on your lap immediately. Give it time then you’d just get surprised that — wham! — Now you have your answer.

Believe in your first impressions.

When you see someone for the first time and think that he is a bit too arrogant for your taste, chances are that impression actually holds true. Most of the time, first impressions are brought by intuition.

Stay happy!

All you need to be intuitive is to stay happy! Happiness attracts immenseness joy. When tapping into your intuition, your motivation must be happiness and contentment. Given that premise, intuition will fall to you easily.

Intuition is a hidden power that everyone has and it is extremely helpful, because sometimes it leads you to something that cannot be achieved otherwise. Many lives have been saved by intuition alone. Decisions are easier if you develop intuition. Develop your intuition now and reap the benefits you have never imagined.

Falseness

Here is some astonishingly helpful information for seeing thru people.

False men and women want only false things from other mean and women.

Since falseness is all they value it is all they can desire.

Now, if you have nothing false in your nature they have no motive for approaching you.

They are like hungry wolves who have no interest in an empty sheep pen.

You can turn away any false person simply by being a true person.

Which road will you take?

Life is about making choices.Therefore, it is important that we make the choice that is right for us.  Life is like a road. There are long and short roads; smooth and rocky roads; crooked and straight paths. In life, many roads come our way as we journey through life. There are roads that lead to a life of happiness, commitment, and success. There are also roads that lead to despair and sorrow. There are roads that lead to victory and determination or defeat and failure.

Just like any road, there are corners, detours, and crossroads in life. Perhaps the most perplexing road that you would encounter is a crossroad. With four roads to choose from and with limited knowledge on where they would go, which road will you take? Would you take any road, or just stay where you are in front of a crossroad?

There are no guarantees.

You do not know where a road will lead you until you take it. In life, there are no guarantees. This is one of the most important things you need to realize about life. Nobody said that choosing the right thing all the time would always lead you to happiness. Loving someone with all your heart does not guarantee that they will love you the same. Gaining fame and fortune does not guarantee happiness. There are too many possible outcomes, which your really cannot control. The only thing you have power over is the decisions that you make, and how you act and react to different situations.

Wrong decisions are always a recollection of what you should have done. Had you known that you were making a wrong decision, would you have gone along with it? Certainly not, Why make a certain decision if you knew from the very beginning that it is not the right one?  It is only after you have made a decision and reflected on it that you realize its soundness. If the consequences or outcomes are good for you, then you have decided correctly. Otherwise, your decision was wrong.

Learn how to take the risk: Decide

Since life offers no guarantee and you would never know that your decision would be wrong until you have made it, then you might as well learn to take the risk and decide. It is definitely better than assuming what can happen either way. It is true that one wrong turn can set you back; it could also be that such a turn could be an opportunity or perhaps open more roads. It is a matter of your perspective. You have the choice between being a lost wanderer or an accidental tourist of life.  Take caution that you do not make decisions carelessly. Taking risks is not about being imprudent and stupid. Here are some things to consider that could help you choose the best option in the face of life’s crossroads:

·               Get as much information about your situation.

You cannot find the confidence to decide when you know a little about what you dealing with. Find out the what, who, when, where, and why. What is the situation? Who are the people involved? When did this happen? Where is this leading? Why are you in this situation? These are just some of the possible questions to ask to know more about your situation. This is important. Often times, the reason for indecision is the lack of information about a situation.

·Recognize option or create options.

What options does the situation give you? Sometimes the options are few, but sometimes they are numerous. What do you do when you think that the situation offers no options? This is the time that you can create your own options. Use your imagination. From the most simplistic to the most complicated, entertain all ideas. Do not shoot anything down when an idea comes to your head. Sometimes the most outrageous idea could prove to be the right one in the end. You can ask someone to help you identify options and even make more options if you encounter some difficulty, but make sure that you make the decision yourself in the end.

·               Weigh the pros and cons of every option.

Assess each option by looking at the advantages and disadvantages it offers you. In this way, you get more insight about the consequences.

·               Trust yourself and make that decision.

Now that you have assessed your options, it is now time to trust yourself.  So choose decide and believe that you are choosing the best option at this point in time. When you make a decision, be ready to face its consequences: good and bad. It may take you to a place of promise or to a land of problems. The important thing is that you have chosen to live your life instead of remaining a passive bystander to your own life. Whether it is the right decision or not, only time will tell. Do not regret your decision whatever the outcome. Instead, learn from it and remember that you have the chance to make better decisions in the future.

Shake Your Doubts

Everyone, at some point in their lives, has dreamed of being somebody special, somebody big.  How many times have we dreamed of being rich, or successful, or happy with our relationships? Often, we dream big dreams and have great aspirations. Unfortunately, our dreams remain just that – dreams and our aspirations begin to fade away. This is a sad turn of events in our life. Instead of experiencing the pleasures of life, we are caught up in the living from day-to-day just barely existing.

But you know what? Life could be so much better, if only we learned to change our thinking and aim higher. The most common problem to setting goals because we believe some dreams are impossible. Most people continuously think I can’t do this. It’s too hard. It’s impossible. No one can do this.

However, if everyone thought that, there would be no inventions, no discoveries, and no breakthroughs in human accomplishment. On the other hand, some people suffer from negative thinking and dreaming totally outrageous dreams and not acting on them. The result? Broken dreams, and shattered aspirations.

If you limit yourself with self-doubt, and self-limiting assumptions, you will never be able to break past what you see as impossible. If you reach too far out into the sky without working towards your goal, you will find yourself clinging on to the impossible dream.

You should try to aim high, and start working towards that goal little by little. Those who just dream towards a goal without working hard end up disappointed and bitter.  If you told someone a hundred years ago, that it was possible for man to be on the moon, people would laugh at you. If you had told them that you could send mail from here to the other side of the world in a few seconds, they would say you were out of your mind. However, through a burning desire and perseverance, these impossible dreams are now realities.

Thomas Edison once said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Nothing could be truer. For one to accomplish his or her dreams there has to be the belief that it was possible.  Don’t get caught up with your perceived limitations. Think positive and work toward your dreams. As you step up the ladder of progress, you will just about find out that the impossible has just become possible.

Enjoy Your Life: Change Your Point of View

Live Your Life

In life, you have choices. You may opt to have a pessimist’s view and live a self-defeated life or you may decide to take the optimist’s route and live life to the fullest. So why develop an optimistic point and view? In addition, why now?
Well, optimism is positive thinking; to success; to popularity; to good health and even to long life and freedom from trauma. On the other hand, the rates of depression and pessimism have never been higher. It affects middle-aged adults the same way it hits younger people. The mean age of onset has gone from 30 to 15. It is no longer a middle-aged housewife’s disorder but also a teen-ager’s disorder’ as well. The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to expect the worst outcome of situations and believe it will last a long time and undermine everything they do.
Here’s how optimists are in action and research shows why it really pays to be an optimist. Optimists expect the best. The truth is optimists are confronted with the same hard knocks of this world. What differs is their mindset. Optimists tend to believe defeat is just a temporary setback. Optimists tend to focus on and plan for the ‘problem’ at hand. They use positive reinterpretation.
In other words, they most likely reinterpret a negative experience in a way that helps them learn and grow. Such people are unfazed by bad situation, they perceive it is a challenge and try harder. You will not hear an optimist say “things will never get better,” “If I failed once, it will happen again” and “If I experience misfortune in one part of my life, then it will happen in my whole life.”
Positive expectancies of optimists also predict better reactions during transitions to new environments, sudden tragedies and unlikely turn of events. If they fall, they will stand up. They see opportunities instead of obstacles. You will find that people respond positively to optimists. Optimists are proactive and less dependent on others for their happiness. They find no need to control or manipulate people. They usually draw people towards them. Their optimistic view of the world can be contagious and influence others to develop and optimistic view.
Optimism seems a socially desirable trait in all communities. Those who share optimism are generally accepted while those who spread gloom, panic and hysteria are treated unfavorably. When the going gets tough, optimists get tougher .Optimists typically; maintain higher levels of subjective well-being during times of stress than people who are less optimistic. In contrast, pessimists are likely to react to stressful events by denying that they exist or by avoiding dealing with problems. Optimists just don’t give up easily, they are also known for their patience. Optimist are always going after their dreams. Pessimists are more likely to quit trying when difficulties arise.

Medical research has justified that simple pleasures and a positive outlook can cause a measurable increase in the body’s ability to fight disease. Optimists are healthier and live longer. They age much better than most people. And they usually outlive those prone to negative thoughts.

So why not be an optimist today? And begin to think positively towards a more fulfilled life. Why not look forward to success in all your endeavors? Why not be resilient? Like everybody else, you are bound to hit lows sometimes but you will not stay there. Carry yourself out of the mud and improve your chances of getting back on the right track. In addition, why not inspire others to remove their dark-colored glasses and see life on the bright side?
