So today was a great day! I was able to catch up with a friend that I had not seen in Three and a half years! It was interesting to hear how she has grown, and what new challenges that she was going through.
If it was not for yesterday's realization, and posting, I would have not had the same conversation that I did today. It is a far better feeling to speak of accomplishments and passed milestones, then to remain focused on shortcomings and failures. We can see how the excitement in our lives leads to emotions in others.
It was interesting to hear of the emotional patterns that we experience. I could not help but remember the lessons that I had learned from Tony Robbins book "Awaken the Giant Within" about emotional patterns, and why we act the way that we do in our lives. The book has helped me tremendously in such a little time, that I have done my best to look at the things that I do in my life, and wonder if they can be done more efficiently.
We pursue things because we think that those things will make us feel a certain way. Robbins challenges you to think why you want the things that you want in life, and demonstrates that the reason for the cars, and the house, and the over-sized Television is to fill us with the feeling of abundance and luxury. However, what if you were able to have those feelings without having to accomplish/buy all of those things? That is what has been challenging me this past month.
Times are changing;business, education, finances, literature and health are all announcing new advancements in their benefits to our population. Yet, we spend a majority of our time finding a role to fill in. It leaves one flabbergasted to think of a great and powerful life filled with freedom and flexibility, while we obtain jobs that fulfill the same roles everyday. How can we desire change, while performing the same routine? When our actions do not match our words, we have trouble believing in ourselves. It affects everything that you do. Mr. Shakespeare was right when he wrote' "to thine own self be true".
In the future, I will be posting links to some of the different books that are referenced in this blog. I will also be updating with tasks/or actions that might help you in your everyday life. Please comment below with feedback about what you would like to see or read about.
I wish you a wonderful rest of the week!
