To feel successful we should always have goals for ourselves in life. Long term and short term.
In my opinion, If you want to maintain a happy, balanced heart and soul; You have to be willing to be flexible & compromise, while staying strong, in your commitment to Pursue your own desires. This can take a lot of work. But it is worth it. It is essential to set aside or create a moment of the day that allows you to work on achieving your own personal goals.
Every person is born with strengths. We all have them. If you embrace the things that feel right and push out the things that don’t, suddenly you will see a new life is opening itself up to you.
I am still amazed, every day changes & opportunities keep presenting themselves to me. Since I began to work on building my new life, a whole new world has opened itself up to me. It is true a snow storm & the need to survive and change, was the catalyst. But, the pursuit is what planted the seed for change. Everyone has things they daydream about. Some call them fantasies & believe they are pipe dreams we have that never come true.
I have changed my mind about fantasies. I will never again denounce or devalue the power of their pursuit. It is the act of chasing & the willingness to explore your ideas, that sparks the catalyst of changes in the world. One mans idea, one mans pursuit of a fantasy, is the reason we can fly, harness electricity or send a message across the world, in the blink of an eye.
For a balanced spirit in life. We must be willing to take the negatives of everything and strategically turn them into something good in life, in all situations & under any circumstance. Being flexible without compromising your principles or your faith, is one of the key ingredients to a healthy body, mind and soul.
Never give up or give into the poison of negativity. Especially if it’s in your own mind. It is everywhere, like a static, that can overtake & cloud the mind. You have to go with the flow & stop trying to swim upstream. Battle the things & the people who don’t support a positive existence in your life. You need to be willing to push the poison out. Fight the inner demons that try to hold you back. Retrain your brain and don’t allow others to interfere with your path to pursue a more positive existence.
You must commit yourself to hard work everyday. Your goals should never leave your mind, nor should they become your only purpose for existence. In my opinion, someone who focuses on only their own goals or their own needs, is destined to create a self serving, selfish & lonely life. As a family or a couple you can learn to dream together. Life is unpredictable, adapting and dreaming together can create a beautiful life & a beautiful experience for everyone. Go all in, with perseverance, drag your loved ones into your dream, commit to your convictions & build on them one step at a time. If you keep sending the energy to the seed, eventually it will grow.
In my life I make it a point to work for others, as much as I work for myself. I help my neighbors and change my plans when an opportunity or need arises. I don’t lose sight of my goals, I just remain flexible in my time line & I always leave room to love, in life, in people & in all things.
I have been amazed at the amount of work I have accomplished and the people who have come running to help me, when I needed it most.
When you are willing to help others in life. The blessings are returned 10 fold. Life’s journey is so much better when you find, you are not on the road alone.
