How do you better your life??

“…So, travel into your own mind, see your own absurdity and vainglory, study your daily behaviors and bring change to what must be changed. Do not deny, but observe as a daily practice. Be your own individual. Be wiser than you were yesterday…

“Stop seeking truth as an intellectual hobby, and transform yourself into truth by behaving truthfully. Do not think, but act. You must stand out from the herd. Be your own person…

“Because people will behave irrationally, and immorally, and cruelly, even when they know is wrong to do so; furthermore, they will do it just to escape their own suffering, dishonesty, their dark and anxious side…

“You will know people by their actions, and you know yourself by your actions. Enlightenment. Morality. Love. Truth. These are indeed actions. Not philosophies. Not thoughts. Not feelings. But actions.”

Self-discipline to happiness.

We are born to discover life, to discover happiness in life. It is in ourselves, but our minds need something to do, something to bring discipline to our lives; thus we can be focused and discover that happiness within ourselves. If we have no discipline in our lives, or if we have no self-discipline, then our minds get restless, frustrated in life; and then we start building self-pity, anger, anxiety.

So, the mind is just like a child. If a child is not given structure and discipline by his parents, then the child becomes spoiled, obnoxious, impulsive and obstinate; and even worse, he starts becoming a bully and annoying others. The mind then must have the structure needed to be more self-aware, which is to look inwardly.

If the mind seeks love and happiness in others, in money, in relationships, in society, then the same mind loses self-awareness, because it starts focusing outwardly and not inwardly. So, to stay and focus inwardly is extremely important to have goals. Having goals requires self-discipline, because you must focus daily on strengthening that goal or goals.

You must be patient and work little by little, learn everything you can while paying attention to the smallest details. This structures the mind. This strengthens the mind. This helps you become more self-aware. Self-awareness is looking within to finally discover that happiness.

Being authentic now.

It’s very important to always be yourself and not fall into the anxiety, the game, the struggle of trying to be liked by others. What is true here is that people who truly care about you will accept you for who you are, without you having to deny yourself and pretend to be someone you’re not just to please their egos.

Being lonely is always having to put on an act, to seek to be liked by others, to please others and neglect who you really are deep inside. When you try to be false and pretend just to be liked, then you lose self-awareness, then you lose respect and love for yourself.

This, in time and unbeknownst to you, leads to feelings of worthlessness and self-pity. So, be always honest with yourself, be authentic in your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Do not let the crowd lead you, but you lead yourself.

Through The Dead Lands…

“Soon afterwards then, at the potent sound of the bugle, the first battalion commenced leading the way. Jake rode his horse alongside his Sitchin generals and siren captains, and he had matured and carried much knowledge on his field so he was respect by them. But, being as young as he was, he didn’t have much practice on a horse; so he would sometimes ride and sometimes walk…

“These horses were extremely strong and resilient to the fog, and they wore almost weightless helmets and body wear with special features for warfare and safety. There were small biotech-land vehicles with the capacity to hover inches from the soil and run at very high speeds, and these 2-seat hovercrafts were driven by only the highest mages and tacticians…” ~ Through the dead lands, from ‘The Book of 1st Witchcraft.’ Coming soon…

That was a section from “The Book of 1st Witchcraft,” #3 in the epic series BENJAMION JONES.

Dreams of uniqueness.

Dreams, desires for better, high aspirations in life. This is required to have for any person to love his/her life. If the person lacks this, then all sorts of anxiety, self-hatred and fears swallow the mind entirely. And then we fall into depression, and into dark thoughts that change our whole perspective of ourselves and life.

This easily leads to thoughts of suicide as well. So, finding yourself and creating your purpose, at any age, is extremely important, vital even if you truly desire to be happy. But don’t wait for the right person to come along, the right financial times, the right situation to arise.

Seek to be an individual now, reach uniqueness, and let go of anything that makes you feel confused, inadequate, self-conscious and shy, and like you have to compromise yourself in any way to feel true joy. Seek to be free. If it doesn’t feel like absolute freedom, then is not love, and is definitely not true happiness.

Keep your dreams alive.

Parents mean well, most of the time; however, they can induce in the child their own ideas, beliefs, and ways to go about in life. This, even without the growing child’s knowledge, can really become a burden to the mind. The burden cements into addiction. Addiction even into illness. But the now adult cannot see it, because his programming has been set as the “normal” for him.

Stifling dreams. Creating beliefs and traditions. Patterns of overthinking and impulsive behaviors. Childhood can do this. Parents can do this. But life is not the way parents see it, because they have just their opinions and experiences. And you are different, it doesn’t matter what others say. A dead dream becomes easily a dead person inside. Make sure you become alive and aware of your dreams, of your ideas, of your own ways to see life; and thus leave the past taught to you behind.

It’s just a “small lie”…

Lies, deception, cheating, hiding the truth. Even if you call it “a small lie.” All this, besides being immoral and hurting others, builds a subconscious program. In time, it feels normal to lie, even a little. The mind takes your behavior and, without your consent, builds a place for it. This is a real, physiological place in your brain. And now is there. And without you being aware it transforms you.

It becomes a “normal behavior” for you. And once it becomes a normal for you, it slowly cements like an addiction. Of course, for you is not an addiction. For you is harmless, and your normal, and something which has no importance. This makes you lose self-awareness. This blinds you to your own corruption. This is the illusion you build for yourself.

Others can see this corrupted behavior in you, but because it has transformed into your own mental programming you do not see it as corruption. This is why is so important to become aware even of the smallest patterns of thoughts in your mind. Don’t just do things without thinking. Study your own mental programs carefully.

Success requires this…

Any good relationship in life, no matter which kind it is, requires that we let go of pride and ego. Any success comes because we are able to look within ourselves, stop the judgmental voices, and then project ourselves in the mind of the other person. No matter how irrational we might think the other person is being we can always try to understand his or her side, and we do this by letting go from the attachment to our side, to our opinions, to our beliefs of how things should be.

Now, forgiveness requires courage, uniqueness, and a person who is willing to let go and move on, relaxed and easygoing. And so, forgiveness is the trait of the better person. The better person is the one who seeks great success in relationships and in life in general. Forgiveness is about you and your inner power to let go of pride and ego. And when you find that inner power, then you become happier, more attractive, and more able to love yourself and others.

An inspired & motivated mind.

The strength to keep ourselves positive. The motivation to keep going even in the face of difficulties. The inspiration to lift ourselves and keep on dreaming and pursuing those dreams. Where do you get it?? What do you do to feel this accomplished in life??

I find that most of the time it is just there. The inspiration is just waiting to be discovered. In the little things, like in a pet, like in a song, like in a walk through the park, like in our family, like in happy memories. While the mind is concerned with the negative happening in our lives, we have anxiety and we miss the little things in life. While the mind is focused on winning and on being better, we bring tension into ourselves.

As a writer, it can get hectic and difficult to find motivation and inspiration, and even to find the time to write and give my undivided attention to what I’m creating. But so is life. The richness lies in these challenges of the day-to-day. And if we can remind ourselves of that, then we may just stop overthinking, step back and relax; then perhaps focus on the motivation and inspiration needed to continue and feel great while doing it.

All my books are about the magic of self-discovery, and the struggle we all face to find ourselves. Benjamin Jones is an orphan boy who is going through just that. And he will find out how much more he really is.

About life.

Sometimes we can feel sad, frustrated, disappointed. But being sad and seeing the unfairness in life is normal, because we all go through it, and because we are all trying to do our best with whatever understanding we have at such moment. But the challenge is to keep going in spite of feeling like this, and the key is nurturing yourself.

See, life is a projection of how you feel about yourself. We feel about life just the way we feel about ourselves. So then we can understand how important selfcare is. Tell yourself that things change and that adaptation to change is taking care of your mental health. If you don’t adapt to change, then you fight change; however, if you fight change then you will become stressed and more frustrated, even angry at yourself.
