To make myself feel happy and positive , I first have to do something I love and build a sense of satisfaction within myself . So everyday I go surfing , because I know that makes me feel very happy and satisfied.
The problems we face fall in one of the three areas: direct control (problems involving our own behaviour); indirect control (problems involving other people's behaviour); no control (problems we can do nothing about, such as our past or situational realities). The proactive approach puts the first step in the solution of all three kinds of problems within our present Circle of Influence. Direct control problems are solved by working on our habits. They are obviously within our Circle of Influence. These are the "Private Victories". Indirect control problems are solved by changing our methods of influence. These are the "Public Victories". Most people have only three or four of these methods in their repertoire, starting usually with reasoning, and, if that doesn't work, moving to flight or fight. How liberating it is to accept the idea that I can learn new methods of human influence instead of constantly trying to use old ineffective methods to ...
I have seen people, who were extraordinary public speakers, struggle to stamp the same mark on the dais a few years later, for they've lost touch with public speaking. I have seen well-educated women, who after having become homemakers confined themselves to the four walls, struggle with their fluency in communication. I have seen outstanding singers unable to achieve the level of performance they are capable of, for they have stopped practicing. Why is that I am not able to exert my left hand as much as my right hand ? Simple, I have put my right hand to greater use than my left hand. You develop the muscles you use and lose the ones you don't use. Most cardiac problems are the result and effect of the heart not being made to work to its maximum capacity. The human body is designed to wear out over a lifetime, but we shrink this lifetime by allowing the body to rust. If you don't use, you lose it. Unused money devalues. Unused talent diminishes. Unused potential dec...
There are times when someone wants to talk and you give them the cold shoulder. You are there for that person in their bad times as well as good times. You make sure they are doing good and things are fine with them. But the longer this goes on, the more it exacerbates the problem. And then, there are times when you deliberately avoid talking to someone, but they don't even notice. They don't notice that you have distanced yourself from everyone, they don't realize that you are quiet (which you usually aren’t), they assume that things are fine with you, but they aren’t. Ultimately you are the only one who suffers. For your own sake, start talking. Don’t keep things inside you. Talk to your family or friends, talk to someone with whom you are comfortable, but start talking. Keeping things inside you will make you suffer a lot. Don't expect people to understand what’s going on with you, it's better to talk and let them know how you are feeling. Only when you talk, s...
