Your Resurrection

In a recent post, I said your real birthday is the day you become the thinker of the thought. I believe the greatest moment in your life happens when you become self-aware and commit to becoming the director of your life’s movie. You stop being a creature of circumstance (which is a nice way to say victim), and master your environment.

You Are a God

You are not meant to stay at this stage. You were born to become a catalyst, to love, create, and evolve. You were born to be rich and prosperous. But this requires self-awareness. Instead of being randomly provoked by thoughts others send your way, you must become the thinker of the thought, mindful enough to think about what you think about.

Stop Seeking Validation from Others

I create my own self-validation and you must as well. You have to know who you are, who you want to become, and what a successful life means to you. Stay true to that, and stop worrying about now many likes you get on your Instagram feed, or what others think about you. What they think about you is none of your business, only what you think about you.

The Prosperity in Pain

Yet it’s helpful to recognize that much of the pain you experience is self-imposed. And often it is the bitter-tasting medicine that you need to heal yourself.

Throwing Off the Shackles of Slavery

I believe that self-imposed slavery is worse than slavery that is imposed on you by someone else. Because if you actually are a slave, you probably had no choice in the matter. But to exile yourself into servitude and limitation, what a horrific tragedy that is.

Occupation: Victim

And instead of devoting energy on achieving success – you squander it all on trying to identify, explain, and validate why it’s simply not possible for you to achieve success.

The Value You Assign Yourself

Every time you interact with another human – whether it’s your boss, client, spouse, family member, neighbor, store clerk, or the kid who mows your lawn – you are sending a message on what you’re worth. And they decide what you are worth, based on how much it appears you think you are worth.

Are You Broken?

There’s no tragedy in the fact that you’ve made mistakes along the way, or done things you wish you didn’t. We all have. The real tragedy would be descending into self-loathing and staying there.
