Happiness

If you want to live your life as you are now don’t change a thing. I am sure you are happy with your life and it is fulfilling. If that is you then do not continue to read. 

The first thing you need to do in order to make a drastic change in your life is to decide on one thing……. decide to be happy. I am sure most people reading this statement think it is easier said than too be done. Yes that is true. But weightlifting to change the aesthetics of our body takes time to see results. It takes hard work and some sacrifice. The only sacrifice you have to endure is the fear you have in your mind to start. 

Making a decision to be Happy is courageous. Accepting that your fear is there, accepting who you truly are at the present moment and then having gratitude for everything you have. You have a chance to start over. You woke up with another opportunity to change and be someone different. Why would you be afraid of that? 

Ultimately we have total control of our perception of the present moment we are in. We can either accept it as what we have made ourselves to be up until his point and going forward it is time to work on change……. or we continue the same with the awareness we could have changed but thought it was too much work and or afraid of the new unknown journey it would take you on. 

The decision is yours.

We come into this world full of love and looking for nurturing. We receive the environment that we are born into. During our infantile years we learn to accept our surroundings as the norm. The more we mature towards the adolescent stage we become our environment. Some are special enough to distinguish the two experiences and classify as bad or good on their own based on their soul. The majority are taught to accept the current state as normal. 

Children are more resilient than adults. Children are fearless. Children will accept a task and sprint towards achieving success. They will fall brush off and continue on. They will accept that they have to strap a bomb to their chest and are convinced it is the right thing to do for their innocent senses have accepted the environment as being. They see nothing wrong with what they are taught for they know nothing else. 

I am sure there are other situations where a child is brave and they will do anything to protect loved ones. Anything means giving their own life and they truly believe it is honorable and they are protecting because of it. 

We are love from the beginning. I have an extreme example of how innocence can be manipulated and in the eyes of the innocent there is no wrong. They make a decision and act based on the current state. They do not negotiate or reason. They adhere to the command not out of fear but out of loyalty and love. 

We do not protect our children enough. Instead of thinking positive and encouraging at a maximum level we teach them how to be insecure, fearful. We teach our children the bad habits that we learned that aided to our current state of suffering. 

We should be teaching our children Love. After they learn UNCONDITIONAL Love then everything else falls into place because there will be an absence of fear. 

Teach Love and practice it everyday. Truly believe that Love heals. 

Our lives are so delicate. Yet we are so powerful. We have the capacity to achieve anything we think. Faith is the key. 

We blame others when we fail in achieving what we want. We want the approval and the validation from external instead of being happy with our little improvements towards our goals. We are so judgmental when it comes to our lives. The criticisms of others are baseless yet we take them to heart as if the person criticizing was a judge and jury. 

Story. A girls color guard team had been preparing for competition upcoming. They were excited and felt they were really doing well. Confidence in their routine was high. Their coach got them together to speak to them the final week leading up. In the meeting he told the team that it will be a long trip for the competition, don’t get your hopes up because there is. I way we will place anyway. We are going for fun. But in all reality the competition is a lost cause. 

What??!!! Is this what we tell our children these days? I hope that is not what is being told to are young men in battle, ” oh by the way we are going against the enemy but we are all going to die or be caught. There is no way we will survive they are superior. Nice knowing you thank you very much goodbye! 

We can achieve anything we think. Faith

The girls lost and in last place because they were very down and sad that the coach did not have confidence in them and felt that they wasted their time. 

We are failures in our own mind. We are successful when we change our negative mindset to that of a positive one, not just changing the thoughts but the HABIT of feeling, hoping, and expecting the worse in the outcome.
