The Secret Path of Life, and Human Excellence
There are many aspects to success and progress in life, but there is a common pattern of thought that robs many of what they really want for happiness and fulfillment and it is true for us if we are unhappy with our life.
We are living in self-deception.
We are not facing the reality of what we are and stand for. Certainly we want to be happy and have the success in life that we envision, but that takes effort and very often it is far more effort than we realize or are willing to put forth.
It is so easy to far back and only pose the easy questions of ourselves. The things that we already know the answers to or the patterns that are easy to develop and maintain. It will always be better in our thoughts to follow the easy path that doesn't require any strong commitment or discomfort to follow through on.
What we really want in life usually requires strong goal patterns and consistent and constant effort beyond our current comfort zone to attain. In fact, our comfort zone is the pool of pleasure and comfort that we float in every day. We rarely venture out into the world of struggle and effort without wanting to run back to our comfortable pool of detachment and security.
We are just getting through life day by day avoiding all of the painful and taxing moments that we can all the while thinking and exclaiming how difficult and uncomfortable the living process is for we. However, we find that the watered down efforts produce mediocre results at best and then we turn the reasoning into a hunt for someone or something else that has delayed or distracted we from success.
There is no someone or something else. It is the thoughts we have, decisions we make and the results we get that define where we are right now in life. The path we have taken is a series of choices we have made that seemed fine at the time, but ultimately they have led us here, now.
We can stop. We can stop right now, instantly and start to get much better results in life, but that will require us to start asking and answering the difficult questions of ourselves.
What do I really want out of my entire life?
What do I need to do to have this life?
What am I willing to do to have this life?
What am I accepting of right now?
What am I willing to change?
Change is the answer. We must change the patterns and thoughts that we are currently accepting of and redefine the way we see ourselves and the world around we. Take a good look at who we are right now. This is how the world sees us and society responds to us based on the image we provide to them of who and what we are. How would we respond to someone who looks and acts like us right now at this moment?
We cannot afford to hide behind a curtain of self-denial and self-deception. Children do that when they are very young. They feel that (it is not fair) when their own decisions have placed them in the position of discomfort. We should have grown out of these thoughts as we matured into adulthood.
Stop deceiving ourselves and accept that we must improve in order for the results we get in our living experience to improve. We cannot push a magic easy button and others will not do it for us. We do not have to wait for something else to happen as a signal that we will begin to take control of our life and start living to the fullest.
The moments are slowly, constantly ticking by and we are standing there motionless watching our life moments erode into the fog of the past and memory. We are not creating the quality that we should have and desire from life and we cannot go back and change the moments that have already pasted.
Face the actuality of who and what we are not some fantasy reality that we have created in our mind. Look around us at the results we are getting. They are so easy to change and yet we don't make the mental and emotional commitment to make our life a wonderful experience.
Make that need to be the very best that we can be an absolute focus each and every moment that we are alive and breathing. Our life will explode with more excitement and happiness than we ever dreamed possible. It has always been right there at our fingertips and we simply chose to accept what we had at that moment.
The only moments of life we are guaranteed, that even constitute reality are the moments we are experiencing right now. Get up and make them become the things we dream of.
WITH STRONG PASSION AND CONVICTIONS… WE CAN POLISH THE GEMS WITHIN US!
