It is through the small things we do that we learn, not the big things

Future

If you think to the future, are you the one doing those projects projections, dreams and try to organize your plans and actions to achieve them, or you are those who live in the anxiety about the future, bad news or unexpected that will change your life for the worse?
Many people are afraid of tomorrow, they are afraid of this day because they feel unprepared to cope with all situations. Be assured of one thing: no matter what you take as disposal to prepare for the worst, you will never be prepared enough to face whatever will happen in your life. If you think that in preparing to the extreme you can have peace of mind, you're probably able to see that you still worry now because you'll feel not sufficiently prepared.

I totally agree with preparing the future from a financial point of view, work, health, family, education and retirement, but there is a reasonable limit that is fairly easy to trace. Common sense has always been an excellent guide when we take time to fill with qualified people in each area.

We can’t predict everything that can happen in life and that's good. The pleasure of life consists of so many things and they are so interdependent, it is impossible and irrational to try to predict what might happen. The surprises, challenges, opportunities are the unique entertainment that surprise us those are beautiful moments that brighten our lives. These moments allow us to grow when we approach it with a positive and optimistic attitude.

When we took the decision to clear our mind on a daily base to recharge ourselves, no matter what happens to us, energy, creativity and hope come back within us and allow us to more easily cope with difficult situations and with better results. The effects of this exercise are incredible, some of them come through meditation, others through sports, others engaged in a hobby that absorbs completely. All these ways emptying the mind are effective, just to find yours.

If you think using drugs, alcohol or let you go to the extreme debauchery can help you forget your fears, your worries and problems, that you probably will succeed in making them worse and it is very likely that you will succeed in creating new, more painful and probably more difficult to solve.

Conclusion

Every day is unique, important and can be decisive for the rest of your life. It should not be taken lightly each day you are offered. If you manage to clear your mind regularly, you find that you more easily find solutions to your problems. What you will communicate much better with others, you'll be less inclined to get angry for unimportant events. You look at life with more optimism because you will be able to appreciate beautiful things and good moments of life, even if you're in a situation not easy to live. You have confidence in yourself and your hopes for a better life will only grow.

Your personal development

All aspects of personal development are important throughout your life. There is nothing worse than meeting someone "upstart", that is to say a person who has nothing to learn from anyone. The kind of person who has seen everything, known and rejects those that are not consistent with his words and his thinking. No matter who it is, it’s very distressing to have to endure this kind of specimen of mankind.

The challenge in personal development is to accept and face the fact that we must make changes when we are dealings with others, in the way we think, act and even the way we speak. It’s difficult to make these major changes if we did not have very good reasons to do so. You don’t decide to do personal development without reason. Of course, everyone wants to improve, but few people take action or even try to know what to improve and change accordingly.

Personal development is done on several aspects. Primarily, the development is on the personality, knowledge and physical appearance. All these aspects of yourself are part of your personality. Warning! Don’t think you should work on all aspects of your personality at the same time. First, who said you had to change at all in all? Your personal development is a business that happens between you and yourself. When you decide to invest in yourself, you do for your purpose, not for others, or else, otherwise your motivation will fly as fast as the clouds in a windy day.

Here are some simple examples of personal development for you to demonstrate that to successfully grow and improve it’s not necessarily a large project. Being at the forefront of his profession by reading daily journals on the subject, learning a new language by reading or by Internet, developing skills by enrolling speaker to organizations specialized in the field and are accessible by everyone (eg "Toastmaster"); practice a sport or exercise regularly to improve his fitness and physical appearance; regularly read books on positive thinking and attend seminars on the subject, turning to part-time study in an area that really interests you.

Several options are available and don’t underestimate the impact of these initiatives as simple and small they are. If you really want to improve and develop the person you are, celebrate your successes regularly because they are all important. You put effort and sometimes you let your ego at the door to success. Success often lies in action rather than result.

Stop living in the past

Despite all that you experienced in your life, all the success you've had, all the misfortunes that have hit you again and again, one thing you can be sure of is you can't change events and past results. It is quite unnecessary to return indefinitely on these events and wonder what you could have done differently to avoid some problems because you cannot change the past.

Be aware that living in the past is the best way to kill yourself slowly. Nostalgia is not a good feeling to regain energy and feel good. When we go back in the past, we tend to remember bad decisions and forget that most of our decisions were made based on the knowledge we had at that time and of course the emotion and desire moment that always takes precedence over logic.

I'm not saying this is not pleasant to remember the good times, but I sincerely believe that this is as far as he must go in the past. The present and future are far more interesting and much more energizing and exciting than the past. Moreover, the future should be seen as a party every day. Why? Given that the future always reserves surprises and like most people like surprises, so we should always consider the future as a party.

You believe that this approach is too simplistic? If you never tried to always live according to what you can achieve as a project for the future, to dream and concoct plans for successful projects, always consider failures as steps, you miss the most interesting and exciting part of the life.

Living is an adventure and adventures are sequences of events and surprises that require us to excel and to use our talents, our knowledge and imagination, as so aptly Albert Einsten, genius is nothing other than to let his imagination limitless. Be original that is to say, dare to indulge your imagination to address the events of your life with energy and creativity.

Be assured that you will live more intensely and you will be directed towards the future, your mind and your imagination will be used to make the most interesting and productive thing than you've ever done. You will be amazed at the energy produced by the dreams and drop the thoughts oriented toward the past.

I am well-aware of the daily repetitive obligations which are often too stultifying, but be aware that these obligations do not monopolize all your days and that each day you have enough free time to act like a (e) adventurer (e).

A balanced life with the beloved

The relationship with the person you shares your life is unique. The beloved must be the most important person in your life, even children can’t have priority over that person. Activities (fields of interest) are vitally important if you have no activity or very little joint, you may lose you as a couple.

You must deal honestly and openly all matters of importance regarding the couple's vision of the future, the activities you most enjoy, that interest you, your sexual desires, your fantasies, your wildest dreams and your state of mind based on the life you live now.

You must have a relationship of complete trust with the loved one and this, in all areas of life. If your spouse is your best friend, there is good chance that your relationship is fun, exciting and even a little crazy and you'll always especially excited to see you again with your partner.

Whatever what is thinking the majority of people, I believe that married life should happen in this state of mind. If this is not the case, there are situations that are not clear between you. Otherwise, you do not share enough activities together. Never forget that humans almost always associated with people with similar interests and this also applies to your life partner, far more time progresses, the more you get away from the one another.

Make the point between you two very regularly, be honest and sincere. If your spouse is not your princess or prince charming of your first days, you must find the reasons that cause it. There is no reason for the flame diminishes between you, quite the contrary, it should shine more and stronger with time because you're supposed to change your relationship to a harmony unequaled.

It feels so good when the relationship with our spouse is simple, clear and without coercion. It is really easy to cope with life when life is smooth torque.

How to face challenges of life

During our wonderful life we all face challenges of all kinds. These challenges are present in all facets of our lives, at work, in family, social activities finally everywhere.

Since the dawn of time we learn to face these challenges with optimism and confidence and a positive attitude even in challenging situations. Easy to write these words, but to face these challenges is not always easy. When it comes to really difficult situations we should not try to attempt to deal with these events without the help of trusted and professional people.
For example, if you have any challenges in the health field, there is good chance that you feel completely unprepared and that your concerns are very difficult to control. You'll be constantly worried, you will feel that the sky is falling on your head and will not succeed to get out of this situation without serious consequences.

To help you get through this challenges you must ask for help, support and never hide from others. The more people you have around you who have had similar experiences, the more you understand what you expect and the more you learn to control you even though you can not do anything to improve the situation.

I chose the field of health to show you how the simplest and most effective way to face the challenges in minimizing the negative effects in your daily life when you have to face this kind of situation because one day or another you will have to deal with different and difficult situations.

Whether challenges with finances, family, spouse, work, justice or any other type of challenges, you must never try to solve everything alone. The risk is too great to worsen the situation and to sink into negative feelings and depressing. You have to be surrounded by adviser you trust and people who have lived the same kind of situation you live.

Partnering with people of experience, competent and confidence will help you get through these challenges with greater ease and you will avoid most probably, a lot of problems and will work to prevent you from having recourse to loopholes such as alcohol, drugs, medications, gambling and excessive spending. These excessive behaviors are often observed in individuals who are experiencing very difficult times in their lives.

As we all do in these situations from time to time, don't be surprised to have these feelings of anxiety in such circumstances. Fortunately life is not a sequence of misfortune one after another. For most people, the moments of happiness are far more numerous than the times of calamities, therefore, always take with enthusiasm each day given to you to make a little magic of it.

Better world: Be nice to people

An article from : 19 September 2009 by Michael Bond

It sounds kind of obvious, and a little trite: the world would be a better place to live in if we were all a bit kinder to each other. But how can we make that happen?

This is fast becoming a valid scientific question. Psychologists and neuroscientists are exploring how to increase people's capacity for empathy and compassion, with two ongoing studies claiming that meditation not only increases compassionate feelings but also improves physical and emotional health.

But you don't have to be a Buddhist monk or an expert on brain plasticity to help increase global compassion. There is evidence that altruistic acts spread through social networks. In other words, if you are kind to a friend, they are more likely to be kind to someone else they know.

To demonstrate this, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School in Boston designed a cooperation game in which 120 students were organised into groups of four and asked to give money to their group. The game lasted five rounds, and after each round the students were reorganised so that no two appeared in the same group twice. The researchers told the participants at the end of each round how much the others in their group had given.

They found that generosity is infectious. If someone gave a dollar more than the predicted group average, the others in that group gave approximately 20 cents more than expected in the next round. This altruism persisted into the third round.

Christakis's team found in a separate study that cooperative behaviour spreads to three degrees of separation - from friend to friend to friend. So if you are popular and well connected, you could have a special role to play: your compassionate acts could resonate further through the network, and you are also more likely to benefit from other people's kindness.

Be aware of the impact you have on people who are in touch with you on these social networks. Of course, you can positively influence many people, but the opposite is also true. Be aware that you are now a person likely to influence many more people than you think. Are you aware?

What is your passion ?

Wow, passion, what a powerful feeling. Whenever we encounter a passionate person, you feel a nice energy to invade the space around us and we feels drawn to these people. Nothing more natural, we all like to be surrounded by energetic, positive, which sees life as an adventure.

I do not mean the fanatics, the hyperactive who only talk but never act and do nothing concrete in their lives. I'm talking about people who are really active, which are really productive for the community and have a positive impact on their families.

What is your passion which excite you, that fills you with energy, which pushes you to go further and think outside your comfort zone?

When wedares to invest and actually get involved in what interests us it is not difficult to get up in the morning. We can not wait to wake up to enjoy the pleasure and welfare given by passion. When I mean passion you should understand that I do not want to talk about problem gamblers and people who have addictions to drugs and other habits that have destructive effects on individuals. I mean anything that amuses you, makes you creative, you can help others, contribute to society or to advance a social or environmental cause.

Life is really short to realize his dreams and enjoy millions of interesting things to do and see. It is therefore important not to waste his time complaining to wait after the other to get ahead in life and especially should not put his energy into negative activities and destructive behaviors.

Fans raise the world and the skeptics hang down. This little phrase simply means that the madness of passion allows the human race to evolve, while the others are doing everything they can to stop us from going further.

Are you a passionate person? If so, share your passion with others, if not, delve deep within your heart and dare to live your passions.
