THE POWER OF DAILY PRACTICES ~ Robin Sharma

Success, world-class health, internal fulfilment and sustained happiness don't just happen. These elements of your best life are created. All too often we look at a human being playing their best game on the playing field of life and assume they got lucky or were born into their lofty condition. What we don't see is all the devotion and discipline that went into crafting the extraordinary results we see. What I'm suggesting is that personal and professional greatness takes work. I'm not someone who would ever tell you that you could get to your dreams without having to make some sacrifices and pay the price in terms of dedication and self-control.

The best among us make it all look so easy. I call it The Swan Effect - elite performers make personal  excellence look effortless and seem to make things happen as gracefully as a swan moves along the water. But like the swan, what you don't get to see is all the hard-work taking place below the surface. The best way to create spectacular results in the most important areas of your life is through daily practice. In my life, I have a series of practices that set me up for a great day. Yes, sometimes life sends you unexpected challenges that knock you off track-that's just life happening. But with a series of practices to keep you at your best, you'll stay in a positive state much more often. Practices that will lock you into your best state include a morning journaling session where you record your feelings, thoughts, and the blessings you are grateful for. Or you may start your day with a strong workout and an elite performer's meal. I often listen to music for 15 minutes, as it not only energizes me, it just makes life better. I also use success statements or affirmations to get my mind focused.

Success and joy and inner peace don't just show up. You need to create them. Find your series of practices, perform them with consistency. And then go out into this beautiful world of ours and shine.

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...
