JUST CHILL!!! ~ Max Simon

There's something really challenging that happens when your life, your identity and your focus is always on the "next big thing", you stop enjoying and appreciating where you are right now. You become so focused and obssessed on getting some place else that you never give yourself permission to just be okay with your life and situations right in this moment.
"Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it." 
~ William Feather
In this life it is important that you cultivate a fuel source that essentially says, "l am having a blast creating this big vision as I go." By focusing too greatly on the future and forgetting the present, you are setting yourself up for disappointment by postponing your happiness. You deserve to be happy and fulfilled right now. Nothing new or different needs to happen for you to realise that your life is meaningful and purposeful right now. And that awareness has nothing to do with your actions in the world or what you accomplish. It has to do with you seeing the truth. You recognising that who you are right now is good enough, is perfect.
Begin to see and feel that now, so that you can enjoy your creative journey as you go, instead of waiting for something to happen in order to feel okay. Because the reality is, you can become the most successful person in the world but if you don't enjoy each moment of the journey, it won't make any difference. I know many fear that, "Well, if I become satisfied with what I already have now, I will lose drive." But the truth is the better you feel about your life, the easier it is to automatically develop a stronger desire to serve and support you new and better vision for it.. So be happy now! It is a choice.

FAITH

Is there ever a time where its reasonable to have faith? Like really. When is it reasonable to have faith? Because if you think about it, whenever its reasonable to have faith it is no longer faith but just rationalisation.. When you have reasons to have faith its just that, reasons. Faith has no reason either than you really wanting something. Faith is not based on any concrete evidence, ever. Faith is the decision of a mind to maintain a disciplined positive expectation of a desired outcome.. And most of us fail in this because our faith fluctuates.. Usually we want reasons to have faith.. The most interesting part in life is that most of who we desire to be is dependant on faith. Just choosing to expect the best and that is independent of any religious beliefs or philosophy. Its a consistent act of a person to choose faith over fear, fear over not having concrete evidence to back it up. Faith is the complete surrender of the need to control things and to have it all f...

A MAN CAN CHOOSE TO BE ANYTHING

"A man can choose to be anything. He can partake in, be a part of anything that he wants to. He can become a beast, he can become a god. He can do anything." This thought keeps reappearing in all the writings of man. It states that we become what we choose to become whether we realise it or not. This is so true because as I grow older, I notice just how broad my being is. BEING : the continuous movement of becoming!! As a high school pupil I only saw myself as a math and science student whose aim was to be a master of science and nothing more. And then in  first year varsity I noticed my perception   grew   from a science student to one whose aim was to be a respectable chemical engineering professional, then suddenly I noticed that not only do I love science, but I have a proclivity for some business,  philosophy and even writing who knew!! And then that grew to psychology, which grew to  philosophy and spirituality and all of this my high-school-year old...

THE TRUTH ABOUT POSITIVE THINKING

Positive thinking doesn’t work for most people because of one simple truth and that is – Thinking is a skill. And most people haven’t mastered The Art of Thinking. Just because you can inhale air in an out of your lungs doesn’t necessarily mean you know how to breath effectively, remember how as a  kid when the doctor instructed “breathe in” and you would actually make a whizzing sound when in haling because you wanted to indicated that they are breathing, because you clearly knew there was more to it.  So you see, it actually is a skill. I was inspired to write this article tone because of a post someone had forwarded to me. It said… “…Positive thinking is offered up in the U.S. as a cure for cancer, a path to untold riches, and a sure-fire way to engineer your own success. Indeed believing that success depends upon one’s attitude is far preferable to Americans than recognizing that their success is the outcome of the tilted scales of race, class, and gender. As Eh...
