HOW TO GET GOOD AT LIFE ~ Robin Sharma


Life is a skill. And like any other skill, once you know the ground rules
and make the time to practice, you can get better. If you really devote
yourself to life, you could even reach a place of mastery. Some have.
I suggest to you that there are 3 simple things you can do
to get good at life:

1) Pay Attention To Life: It's really easy to let life act on you – to fall
asleep to life.. Some people have lost entire decadess this way.. And
they never got them back.. Try and write in a journal each morning before you walk out into your
world. Think about what goals you need to accomplish that day and
write them down. Think about what are your most closely held values.
Think about what lessons you've learned from the previous day.
What good is making a mistake if you don't learn from it?

2) Engage In Life: I've learned something as I've grown older: the more you give to life,, the more it gives to you.. Over dinner last night with some friends, we began to speak of goal-setting.
“But why set goals when life can be so uncertain?” One asked me.
My reply: “Just because life is so unpredictable doesn't mean you
shouldn't exercise your power to do your best. Set your goals. Make
your plans. Take action and chase your dreams. That's what personal
responsibility is all about. But once you've done your best – let go. And
let life do the rest.” She looked deeply into her pad thai.

3) Enjoy Life: We take life too seriously. But at the end, the billionaire gets buried next to the street sweeper. We all end up as dust. And no matter how long you will live, each of us isn't here all that long in the grand scheme of things. So let's not take ourselves too seriously. Let's enjoy the ride.

LIFE BEGINS ONCE YOU'VE STOPPED DENYING WHO YOU ARE

Your life will begin once you've stopped denying yourself. Life will begin living up to your expectations on the day you have stopped denying yourself. Of course this will greatly depend on the level of awareness you are in. These words will strike the core of those who are seeking an Awakening , and they will go above the heads of those who are still enjoying the slumber and illusion of their reality. Your life will begin once you have stopped denying who you are . This can usually start by accepting those things that you were taught to deny. By accepting who you are on the base level. If you want your life to begin, begin right now to accept yourself, begin to accept yourself to be intelligent even though the schooling system may have taught you to think of yourself of a lesser capability. Begin to accept yourself as worthy, even though your traditions have at times scared you into denying this truth. Begin to accept yourself as gay even though your society has cursed yo...

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...

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...
