The Important things In Life

The Important things in life

A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the remaining open areas of the jar.

He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “Yes.”

“Now,” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things – your family, your partner, your health, your children – things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter – like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else, the small stuff.”

“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party, or fix the disposal.”

“Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”

Want to change the life

Life is tough, bat to given, when you stand up, you going to be shock back down. 

Sometimes we feel the need to make big changes in our lives in order to have a different outcome.

It is said, “Do what you’ve always done and you’ll get what you always gotten.”

You say you need to make a change, but you can't—you're weak, you have zero self-control (sound of forehead being struck). Instead of beating yourself up, you can do what researchers are discovering actually works. We have the three Rs of transformation.

Maybe you haven't made it yet, that change you've wanted to make, but you know what it would take. Hard work, Willpower, Self-discipline. And if you've been trying to make the change of your dreams for years without success, you've probably told yourself that you failed because you didn't try hard enough. 

Look at it this way: If you start walking in a straight line toward a certain place, and then take one small turn to the right or left, you will end up in a completely different place than planned. And the longer you walk, the farther you will move from the original direction.

A small change in direction, by the end of a lifetime, can mean you end up in a completely different place—far indeed from where you were originally headed.

We are each one of us, unique individuals; each of us carries special gifts, and our life’s journey is a path, which points the way and guides us to knowing why we’re here. The clearer we become about our purpose, the more defined our path; and as our inner path gains clarity, the outside path becomes more focused. We see more clearly where we’re going because we understand why we’re going there.

Each action we take resonates with our inner life, and we connect with other people who are clear about their life’s purpose. And because focused energy is so powerful, a few people with a sense of purpose can break through the inertia of a large collective consciousness that is drifting along without any particular direction, or just resisting an idea whose time has come.

Prove it you want to be best and get out there and once you decide that you know where you want to be and want start pushing forward. And tell you get there. That’s are winners made. At the end of the day success is what we all want. Therefore focus on change on your life.

6 Reasons Why Your Life Is Boring

6 Reasons Why Your Life Is Boring

In our life some time we may feel boring. Here is the list of 6 reasons why you may be settling for a boring life. If you’ve been hooked on any of these things because of their temporarily calming (boring) side effects, you can change your life. The 6 reasons why you may be bored with life include:

1. Fear

Fear is cowardice or timidity that makes you shrink back from life. Fear keeps you from expanding your comfort zone. If you don’t take time to step out of your comfort zone and try new things, your life will be boring. Fear makes you live in confusion because you have trouble making decisions and sticking with them, afraid you might be wrong. Instead, you do nothing. That nothingness is called boredom.

Confident people are not afraid of being wrong. They realize they can recover from making a mistake and don’t allow the fear of making one to imprison them, or tie them up in self-doubt. Never allow fear to make you shrink back. The greatest antidote to fear is action. Feel the fear, but take bold, consistent, action anyway. This one step, will make your life more interesting than you’ve ever imagined.

2. Anger

The worst kind of anger is the bitter kind that brews quietly in your heart Anger is a one of the most powerful emotions people can experience. It’s like a flood of displeasure with someone or something that turns into a river. The river itself is not the issue; it’s where you choose to guide it. Many of my clients eventually recognize they are stuck in life because they have been spending their time trying to prove people wrong that made them angry in the past. Or, they find they are angry with themselves for some mistake, so subconsciously they don’t feel like they deserve to succeed.

3. Unforgiveness

Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Better yet, it’s like stabbing your own chest and expecting the other person to bleed. The bottom line is that people hurt people. Here’s something to think about: the word forgive means to for – give, or “give before.” Forgiveness is a choice not to mention, recount or think about the wrongs that have been committed against us. Forgiveness is not excusing. In fact, forgiveness is needed because the wrong done was inexcusable. In order to take chances, step out, and live in your purpose, you must be willing to forgive yourself and others. When you don’t forgive, you become stuck and tied to that hurtful situation or person. When you become stuck, your life stays boring.

4. Negativity

Negativity is the need to always see the glass half empty rather than be thankful for the fact that you have a glass in the first place. It is also the lie that tells you "I'll be happy when ___(fill in the blank).” This is a huge lie, because your happiness is choice. A wise person once said, “Anything you can get to with unhappiness, you can get much faster and easier while being happy.” You really can be happy every single day.

These are just a few of the many scenarios that can happen at any time in any of our lives. Being positive is a habit that can be learned, just like negativity is a happen that can be broken. The key is to prevent your happenings from determining your happiness. Being happy about your blessings and being bored with life normally do not go together.

5. Jealousy

Jealousy is a feeling resentment towards someone because of what they have. Jealousy brings confusion, unrest, and disharmony to a person’s life. Here is the main trap of jealously and why it makes you accept a boring life. Whenever you envy another person for what they have, you devalue what you have. By choosing to be jealous of someone else, you are in essence saying, I don’t believe what I have can be as good as what you have so instead of getting it for myself, I’ll just be mad at you. We’ve all been given our own gift mix. The same energy that’s used to be envious of someone else should be used to create the exciting, purpose filled life that you want.

6. Laziness

Laziness is desiring something, but not being willing to do what it takes to get it. There is an ancient proverb which says, “The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside! I shall be slain in the streets!" Basically, laziness creates a list of imaginary circumstances and excuses to justify not doing the work. Guess what a non-boring, thrilling, exciting, and purposeful life takes? It takes work. Delay and hesitation are the main side effects of this prescription life-killer. Excuses are what laziness is made of. Excuses are also coffins used to build houses of failure. Therefore laziness will lead you to failure every time. What about the goals and dreams in your heart, aren’t they worth pursuing with all you’ve got?

You must banish laziness from your life if you want to stop living a boring life. Our society is built to idolize comfort. We want to do things the “easiest” way possible. But easy is not what makes a thrilling, fulfilling life. The majority of your life’s greatest breakthroughs will be just beyond the point – where you want to give up. If you think life is boring, find something to worth putting all of your brains, talent, effort and passion into. Don’t be lazy. Your life will thank you for it.

Recognize each of these issues for what they are: life-draining suckers. This year, make it your mission to embrace the antidote, which is the opposite. This is how you can live your life to the fullest.

How to overcome limiting Belief

Do you have limiting beliefs?

What are limiting beliefs?
And how do they affect in our life?

A limiting belief is a false belief that a person acquires as a result of making an incorrect conclusion about something in life. For example a person could acquire a limiting belief about his ability to succeed as soon as he fails.

I am a loser, i am a failure or i can’t succeed are examples of limiting beliefs that people collect throughout their lives. The biggest problem that limiting beliefs cause is that they force you to live below your potential.

Where do limiting beliefs come from?

I just said that people acquire limiting beliefs as a result of going through certain life experiences but do you know that you can acquire a limiting belief through a friend? If your friend of you telling that you can’t do that or you can’t lift that box which is weighing about 100kg but it actual weight 50kg. because of your friends word you didn’t try to lift it.

How limiting beliefs affect behavior

Limiting beliefs force people to filter information according to their beliefs.

For example if you believe that you are a boring person then you will only remember those were bored of you while you will filter out all compliments you got.

After a while you might stop talking to people because of your limiting belief and that will make them think that you are really boring.

Because of that you just fulfilled the prophecy and made your limiting belief become true!!

How to get rid of limiting beliefs?

So how to get rid of limiting beliefs?

Here is exactly what you should do:

• Question the limiting beliefs: If a friend told you that the box over there weights 100 kilograms ask him these questions 1) Did you try to lift it yourself? 2) who told you it wights 100 kilograms? 3) what is the prove?
• The limiting belief might just be a point of view: If your friend is physically weak then he might be saying that the box is heavy just because its too heavy for him and not necessary heavy for you. Limiting beliefs might just be the point of view of another people and not necessary facts
• Try it yourself: Try to lift the box yourself in order to seek your answers and to bust the limiting belief. If you didn't manage to lift it just don't give up right away. Just search for anybody who managed to do it and ask him about the right way. After all you might prove the limiting belief true if you weren't persistent enough to keep trying until you prove it false

Final words about limiting beliefs

Limiting beliefs can prevent you from reaching your potential, succeeding in life and can make you miserable. One of the biggest differences between those who succeed and those who don't is the ability to locate and eliminate limiting beliefs.

How to be successful in life

Everyone wants to achieve success in their life. But few people are achieving them and most people fail to achieve. Success is more than an idea, it is a state of mind. Although success is relative to each individual, the key to achieving success is the demeanor in which you go about living your life and taking advantage of opportunities that come to you. Whether it be in life or in business, you should never take anything for granted and you should learn how to make the most of the situations that are presented to you. Here are the 08 ways you can be successful in business and in life:

1)      Identify where you are stuck in your life. Take steps toward getting unstuck, even if it means pushing well beyond your comfort zone. Action is the only remedy for fear.

2)      Identify your biggest strengths and make sure you use those strengths in your profession. If you do, it's likely you have found your passion.

3)      Write to achieve. Write down your goals and dreams to declare yourself in the game. It's like holding up an "Open for Business" sign for your life.

4)      Commit to your dreams. Don't be afraid or too proud to make short-term sacrifices to achieve your goals.

5)      Set deadlines. Define a specific timeframe for your goals and take small action steps to meet them.

6)      Realize failures bring about success. Risk is all about trying, getting in the game. You can't succeed if you aren't in the game

7)      Have confidence. Decide you are confident and have a more playful, less serious attitude about life. Most successful people do.

8)      Live every day like it's your last. Be prepared for the end. Ask yourself: Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?

Finally I like to say: You know the saying, “Yesterday you said tomorrow?” Seriously, stop that! Delaying or procrastinating around something that you think is important means one of two things. You’re either scared to start because it means your life will change or you want it for the wrong reasons. There will be rewards along the way and there will be a great sense of accomplishment at the end.
