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 ...
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.

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...
There are times when we start comparing ourselves with others. Comparing ourselves with others brings us disappointments and break downs. We feel we aren't good enough for ourselves. We feel ugly, humiliated and what not. Why do we have to always compare ourselves with others? Why don't we Compare Ourselves with the Old Us? Have you ever thought about comparing yourself with the old you? It's okay, at times we do face disappointments and break down. At times, we don't get what we want. Things might not always go the way we want. But it's okay and you need to know that. We need to learn to compare ourselves with the old us. You need to see your own progress with the old you. You need to be a New You from the Old You. Don't think about what others are doing because they are growing for themselves. You need to grow for yourself and learn to check your own steps from the old you. It's fine even if it is the smallest change, but there is a chan...
