Design Your Own Life

“If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much” by Jim Rohn. 

If you have no plans for your life, do not wander that you are flowing with the crowd or following somebody else’s plan for you. I think we go nowhere, because we do not know who we are and what we want. You need to find out who you are before you can develop some strategy for your life. Ask this question and find an honest answer. Then, you can move where you want, not where others direct you. You will also find out that this kind of lifestyle satisfies you more than being manipulated by somebody else.

Being Miserable or Motivated

“Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice” by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. 

A lot of circumstances can make you upset. When you find yourself in the midst of them you have two choices: stay unhappy or inspire yourself to go forward. It is your choice! A lot of people find themselves in very similar situations, yet some choose to complain, feel sorry for themselves and be angry against God and others decide to find something positive about those situations and encourage themselves to move forward, because they believe that any cloud has a silver lining.

Thought for the day 24th of April 2011

“Either way, things are a lot better – either better than they were or a lot better than they are going to be” by Robert Brault. 

I like the approach. Robert Brault always finds things to be happy about. This attitude is very good when you have problems. Then you can think that things were much worse in the past and you were able to cope with the stuff. If you feel pretty bored and unhappy about your life, then you can think that things can be worse in the future and this understanding will wake you up from your apathy. 

Don’t allow yourself to fall neither into the lap of self pity, nor apathy. These are thieves that come to steal your joy, enthusiasm, faith and purpose as well as vision for your life. So, depending on what situation you are in you should apply one of the techniques. If you feel that everything is pretty bad now, remember some worse things in the past and when you are overpowered by apathy, think how you would feel if you lost your health, house, family, friends and etc. I hope your feelings would change fast.
