Better Way To Set Goals

What if we set goals for how we want to feel not for what we want to get.

Instead of wishing to work for a particular company, what if your goal would be to work at a place where you are valued, appreciated, wanted and well-compensated. That you work on exciting projects, you love people you work with and that they love you back, etc.

(Those are the reasons that excite you to potentially work for that specific company anyways because you unconsciously hope that you get all I mentioned above. So why not be specific about it?)

Instead of wanting a handsome, tall rich man to date, wish for a man who makes you feel wanted, important, celebrated, loved, appreciated, enough, sexy, beautiful, seen… Wish for a relationship that brings peace and ease.

You might not always know what you want, but you always know how you want to feel.

I am Grateful for the Internet and Social Media

I love the internet. I love social media. I love how connected we are through them. I love how you can have friends in all parts of the world. How you can travel and still earn income online.

I love that you have all the information a few keyboard touch away and find all the answers within seconds.

There is nothing wrong with social media or the internet and everything’s wrong with how we use it.

How we allow for it to use us, would be a better way to put it.

James Clear said to be the designer of your world and not merely the consumer of it.

I’m beyond grateful to be living in this era. I’m beyond grateful that I have opportunities today my mother and grandmother couldn’t even dream of. I am grateful for the internet and social media.

I too get addicted, I too get consumed, and I too try to fit in at times. You aren’t alone.

If we remind ourselves enough times to be a designer and not the consumer it will work.

Being a consumer is a habit so is being a creator.

Create more consume less, and make it a habit. Make it your new pattern.

Teach yourself, inspire yourself.

Act yourself in a new way of being, don’t wait to be motivated. Movement manifests motivation as Marisa Peer said.

Do it enough times for it to count.

Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.

There’s No Meaning

I invented a practice for me that has improved my life immensely.

It’s almost like a mantra that I say when I do anything to keep myself grounded.

You can apply it to anything and here it is.

If I’m walking outside I say “The point of walking is to just walk”.

If I’m out dancing I would say “The point of being here is to just dance”

If I’m in the room full of people and I get distracted by what other’s might think of me, I’ll remind myself what the actual reason of me being in the room is.

We do things in life and very often we do it to get something from others.

While walking you might walk a certain way so you get attention. While in the club you might skip few dance moves because of what others might think of you. While on a conference you might stress so much about what others think about you that you might miss the valuable insight.

So anytime you do anything and you find yourself too concerned about what’s happening outside of you ground yourself by reminding yourself that there are no huge meanings in the small things that we do in this very moment.

The whole point of doing whatever you are doing is to simply do it.

Healing

Real healing is not about learning new ways to live but unlearning all the old ones.

If you don’t declutter your home and keep buying stuff, over time you won’t be able to fit all that you want to get.

So is healing.

It’s about letting go of everything that is on the way to building the life that you want.

Letting go of the old habits and unlearning patterns that keeps you away from yourself.

Healing is an improvement. Healing is letting go. Healing is reconnection.

Healing is uncovering more than it is searching.

Becoming Bulletproof

I love the idea of not being affected by anything or anyone.

I wonder if one ever achieves a state where he or she is so grounded in himself that it doesn’t get affected by outside noise.

Imagine a life where you know who you are and what you want. Where you use your inner voice as your guidance instead of other people’s opinions.

Even when you feel lost and you have no idea what the next steps are you still feel the sense of belonging.

Belonging to yourself and to this universe.

Imagine a life where you take control of your life instead of letting others dictate it.

A beautiful life where instead of judging others you judge not yourself but your actions.

A life where you do what you love and make a living with it.

A life where you wake up content everyday, knowing that the universe has your back.

A life where you are yourself and nlt someone who you think society wants you to be.

A life where your heart is filled with love no matter what.

Life where you are being responsive instead of being reactive.

Where you mind your own business.

A life where you are okay.

Not sad, depressed, sometimes happy, but always okay and content.

May Quotes

Here are some quotes that deeply affected me this month;

And there’s a million of us just like me
Who cuss like me, who just don’t give a fuck like me
Who dress like me, walk, talk and act like me
And just might be the next best thing, but not quite me.

Eminem “The Real Slim Shady”

Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works.

Steve Jobs

Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way

Alan Watts

Strong people are often pretty simple.

You have to love life more than the meaning of life itself.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

I want to talk about everything with at least one person as I talk about things with myself.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

In sinning, each man sins against all, and each man is at least partly guilty for another’s sin. There is no isolated sin.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky

To love someone means to see him as God intended him.

Make It Simple

Being happy is a vast concept. Being happy is a big goal.

Being content on the other hand seems more attainable.

It’s a mental thing.

If someone tells you to stay in the ice water for 3 minutes you might be able to do it. 30 minutes on the other hand sounds too much.

But here’s the trick. You can tell your mind that it’s just 3 minutes and when the times up, keep doing it for another 3 and if you do it 10 times, you get 30 min total.

So is in life.

We have to trick our minds.

If we think about how we can be happy and stay happy we get overwhelmed. But if we try to remain content for the next hour or even 15 minutes, it adds up and you get a full day.

Break things down. Make tasks smaller, shorter, and easier.

Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t-you’re right.

It Could Be Worse

Our life is so precious. Sometimes we fail to see it.

When you feel like everything is falling apart remember the day in your life that was way worse than what you are experiencing right now and feel imense gratitude that it’s gone.

It could always be worse.

Speaking The Truth

Speaking your truth.

I like the statement.

I think we all should speak our truth.

However, speaking your truth isn’t being mean and hurting people.

Not everything that you think needs to be said, but whatever is said needs to be true.

Being negative isn’t being authentic. Saying harsh things to other people doesn’t mean speaking your truth.

Speak your truth in a way, you want others to speak their truth to you.

Weekly Challenge

You know what?!

Not everything has a meaning and not every day needs to be planned.

I think what we need to have is at least 1 day a week where you go out and let the universe guide you.

Where you go out with the intention of enjoying everything that you see. Expecting to have the best day of your life and expecting to meet the best people you’ve ever met.

Just do it.
