4 Part Journey to Taking Control Over Your Life and Live With a Goal in Mind
Nov 27th
Hello everybody, in this article I will bring out 4 part guide on how to take control over your life. These steps may be sometimes hard to follow, and even to me, still, they prove to be very effective to me when I use them.
First part to decide if something is needed to change is taking a look at yourself – is your life how you would want it to be? Do you feel you get energy from it or it is rather draining energy? The first step is to be sure of what already is – and if it is good or bad to you. If you truly feel it is good, then I am happy for you, and you probably do not even need to read the rest of this article. For others, this is the launching pad for the next steps. So let us move on.
The second part in this sequence is that you take a look into the future, future, where you decide not to make any changes to how you usually behave. How does your life seem like 1 year from now, 5 years from now or 10 years from now? Do you like that picture? What parts do you like? What parts are not that good?
The third part is to look in the future where you have eliminated all the not so good signs, and replaced them with how you would like to see them. This helps you paint a picture of you where everything is how you want. I believe that every thought will become a reality. There is nothing you can not achieve. In fact, world is looking for changes and new things.
The final part is most important, because this is the part that actually will make the difference. First, do this same exercise once or twice a day, every day, for 10 minutes – this will reprogram your subconscious mind. Second, act as if everything you imagine already is a reality. This is your life, no one else can make the difference unless you want to. You can be handed a piece of gold on a plate, but if you look at it from below, you do not see the gold.
So be responsible over your life, take risks, keep an open mind, and everything is possible.
I wish you all a good imaginary pictures that you will start moving towards and remember – change is good.

Life’s a Journey Not a Destination – Enjoy Your Commute
Nov 17th
I was driving on the highway the other day and a sign said, “Enjoy Your Commute”. I thought to myself, “Thank-you, I am”, and not just the road I was driving on, but the road of life.
Sure, there are still moments or days where I feel like I’ve hit a pothole, so to speak, where I wasn’t able to steer away from that one. Some are a little bigger than others, in fact, a few may even seem like the Grand Canyon, but the difference is I now remember that the road of life is under construction as well as paved with gold.
It wasn’t always that way though. There were many years where I felt I was always taking detours, or stuck in the traffic of negative thoughts, or feeling the road rage inside myself or the receiver of someone else’s, or my internal GPS system had completely shut down and I was lost, or questioning if the passengers in my life received their licenses from a Cracker Jack Box. Then I questioned my own and realized perhaps I also received mine from there.
You see, life is an ongoing journey, not a destination, and how much or little you enjoy the commute is really up to you.
Think of your life like a highway. Sometimes you can set the cruise control and motor right along and other times you are stuck in a traffic jam, or having to take the next exit, or there’s an unexpected delay and you are stuck, or the weather is a little tricky and your knuckles are a little white as you grip the steering wheel with all your might.
You might even be like the driver in who’s tooting his horn, or yelling at other drivers, or telling them how they should drive, or not letting them in, or cutting them off all together.
Perhaps you want to be like Mario Andretti on the race track and speed through to the finish line.
You can’t control the road conditions, or the events that occur in your life, but you can steer the way you encounter and move through them.You can slow down, take a look around, and open yourself up to the miracles and mysteries that life has to offer you.You can choose to see the negatives or the positives.You can enjoy the simplest of pleasures throughout the day, or none at all.You can be thankful for what you have or bemoan what you don’t have.You can reach out or go it alone.You can believe or give up.You can embrace or brace yourself.You can find a different route or stay on the one you are on.You can choose to stay stuck or move through what’s occurring.You can be the light or the darkness.You can be of peace or war.You can be victorious in your life; or the victim of life or the victor over life, the choice is yours.
It’s up to you whether your journey is about the destination, or the enjoyment of your commute.
Yes, it would be nice to get up and never endure a road block, to know exactly where you are going, or what the future holds for you, but if that was the case you would miss all the wonder, adventures, excitement, joys and sorrows along the way.
These are the very things which provide you with the dreams, tools, skills, and experience to build other roadways.
Remember, the journey you’re on, we are all on together, and its roads are under construction.
