Have you ever thought how your personal perceptions of the world make it real for only you? Your world is nothing more than the images and the thoughts of your mind. Your world is different from mine and everyone else. Another question to ask might be how you can make the world a better place? Maybe you don’t care. Maybe you should care. What would you do first to change your world if you were able? Based on what was just stated, to change your world to make it better for you, you first must change your perception of what the world should be. What images and thoughts are you currently projecting to yourself and others?
We must be careful with each thought and image we create in our mind. As they are repeated they can form habits. Good habits lead to excellence. Bad habits can lead to imbalances that may be difficult to break or overcome. Therefore, begin now to be aware of all external forces preying on your mind. Analyze your thoughts and listen to the words leaving your mouth. Whether it is the media, at home, at work, at school, friends, government, religion, or other organizations, don’t let any one force dictate your thoughts actions without your willing acceptance. As long as you are doing what is right for you without harming another and having respect and dignity for the human person (especially yourself), you will get on track for a more fulfilling way of life. You have the ability and the right to reason what is right for you. Be at ease with this and put it into practice.
If I could simply ask you to stop for a moment and consider what forces are causing you to act and be a certain way, we create the basis for change. You need to consider who and what is putting those images and thoughts in your mind. You should be shocked when you fully understand how your mind has been molded to react in a certain way. Many have lost their individuality.
When your mind is filled with fear, anger, resentment, hatred, greed, envy, lust, frustration, or cravings, any one or more of these forces will distort your mind away from giving true meaning to your life. These forces give you the excuse to allow yourself to be molded and manipulated to act and react in certain ways that may be unproductive and maybe dangerous to yourself and others. These forces are creating illusions that govern your actions or lack of. The amazing point is how many people willingly invite others to do this to their minds. What about you? Are you going to be able to be your own person free of these aforementioned forces? The older you get the more garbage has had time to accumulate. Isn’t it time to say, “Enough…No more!”
Understand that a bully, a dominant spouse, a dominant employer, or a dominant government cannot successfully make your world better through pressure and force. Your individual daily needs will not be satisfied which will result in you expressing many of the vices mentioned earlier. To make your world better you need an attitude shift where your thoughts and images projected in your mind are leading you in being and doing what is right. What this means is you need a value system to form the foundation of what is right in your life. My Discover Living book gives you fifty-one words to incorporate into your lifestyle to lay this foundation. Having grounded parents, spouse, friends, and employer to instill these principles make it a simpler process for everyone especially our young generation. However, with four out of ten children being born out of wedlock in the USA there is a breakdown of family values that are now being passed on. This means that this young generation has to acquire these traits on their own while facing many unnecessary challenges. It is critical that we stop glorifying violence, drugs, sex, and the anything goes mentality to make life manageable for our young generation.
Our media seems to crave negative forces for the fast buck. It will only change when it is not profitable for the media to continue on this track. This means you and millions like you need to make some changes in your mindset now to remedy the voids in your life (Success, peace, happiness, health). Why not become an example for others to emulate. In so doing you and others become a force for good to make it easier for others to follow. As more and more discover life’s secrets, they can avoid some of life’s hardships that otherwise would bring them down.
In Part Two of my Discover Living book I give you five secrets to success and happiness. The first secret is to find and be the real you. Since everyone is a definitely unique individual, be satisfied with letting your inner self surface. Get to know who you are, and be content with what you find. Put yourself on a pedestal because you are one of a kind.
You have in born traits that are special to you. You have the ability to discover and develop many personality traits and physical skills, but tailor them to your inner needs and desires. Become satisfied with yourself, and be the best you can be. Read about the Mexican fisherman in my book. He found the secret as did the Harvard graduate who was the investment banker in the story. Even though totally different each was right in their vision of themselves. When you are living in a fantasy, the imbalances of life creep in to compromise your direction. Don’t let this happen. Dream about the life you want, and be realistic to how you will fulfill those dreams. Your perception of the life of your desires will start the process of getting there. It’s time to wake-up to what has been holding you back from receiving what is rightfully yours. A better life is awaiting all of us. Now is the time for us to perceive it in the right way and reap the rewards.
