The world is a big place and it can be overwhelming.
Like...
Those are just some of the questions that can stop us in our tracks.
I get it.
Some personal examples:
And there were many, many more examples of shit I went through.
Pretty sure it's not just me.
I thought to myself and thought life was supposed to suck, and that's the way my life is supposed to be. And hoped that "things get better".
I continued this was of automated half-dead-daze-still-alive kind of life, basically a reactive-passive approach to life, with learned helplessness, telling myself shit like "life's like that" - a meaningless, floating-around kind of life.
I didn't speak or share this with anyone (I didn't know I could or should have talked to someone about this), but I was actually deeply unhappy, unfulfilled and clearly demotivated.
I was disgusted with myself, my life and the events that seem to plague me for years.
I know for sure I don't want to continue living like that.
I was pretty much lost until my first "awakening", when I was 27 years old, when I realized that I was living in a broken loop, of failures after failures, again and again. And what made me extremely unhappy was that it seems that I was DOOMED to repeat it again and again.
Unless I changed the decisions I made, and actions I take.
In this heightened awareness state, I asked myself, was there a hidden lesson that I was supposed to learn or something I'm supposed to do to "exit" this repeating hell?
That was in 2007.
I started to turn my life around, beginning in 2007, when I was 27 years old.
Then my dad died. All of a sudden, after 17 days in a hospital. My father's death in 2014 was pretty impactful on me - it woke me up to not waste time or get hung up on things that aren't important (easy to say but stuff still gets to me of course).
Today, at 2019, years later, I'm still searching for ways to continuously improve myself.
I figured that I can get most of whatever I want...
...in life, business, finance, spirituality and all its subsets. Subsets are like the world of health, it can be about losing/gaining weight, getting rid of eczema/condition etc.
This open-endedness fascinated me endlessly - cos there's so much I can improve, learn and do! Look at Success Principles which drives successes, achievement and fulfillment.
But at the same time, I figured that life is very open-ended, and there is both beauty and pain in that, because it's so open-ended, some get very lost, some get very freaked out, and some coast, and some find life so beautiful, some come up as awe-inspiring winners.
In some cases, it seems to be - being born into rich and powerful families...with lots of money and influence and the ability to get whatever you want.
But is that really the case?
It seems like it...until one realizes that being born into that family, may carry heavy expectations, be it:
Of course, being born dead broke into a family with extreme poverty has its fair share of shit too.
I'm just trying to show both sides of the coin.
What I'm trying to say is that, whatever you've been born/given/talented with, use it for the best you-and-your-gifts can be and bring to the world.
After being utterly disgusted with my life, work, money and results - I finally snapped at 27 years old. It was my first awakening and such clarity came to me in the forms of basic understandings of how things work.
And how I can get more success, the kind of success that I want.
That was my first realization of heightened clarity and awareness.
I started to ask myself:
I realized that typically, there are two kinds of outcomes or results:
And I also concluded that results that we cannot control nor influence - it's an utter waste of time to bawl, bitch, focus or complain about it - the results of that won't change - results we cannot control nor influence, do not waste time on that.
Examples being:
So that means that we can and should only focus on results or outcomes that we actually can control or influence. Examples of this:
You'd see that the main thing that we truly can focus are ourselves, and hence the term "personal development" is 50% "personal" - it's for us to learn and grow.
Owning our own
is the #1 way to grow, progress and develop in life.
Yes, I am not a completed work yet and I am still in the process of continuous growth and refinement. Refining, growth is an ongoing process.
It's not rocket science, but it's more of an intuitive approach to life, growth and personal development.
It is also a conscious process, and requires a lot of courage and mental, emotional and spiritual processing/awareness capability.
First, I got tired of my own bullshit and excuses and shit.
So, I started fixing my life.
Then, I got tired of listening to my and my bosses' bullshit.
I knew I was being marginalized, so I tendered. My intuition was right when I saw my ex-boss smiling upon receiving my resignation letter. Outcome? I found a freelancing job that gave me a take home of $4800 in the first month. That's a whopping 369% improvement to my take home.
That got me started on my entrepreneurial journey, since 2008.
Created a business that earned more than $5M+ revenue generation, hiring 25+ individuals in the 10-years I was there, and I exited for my sabbatical and to focus on projects and people whom I loved.
Paid off my home with bit of cash leftover too.
I got tired of the roller-coaster relationship with my ex.
She made it "easy" in the sense she got married (it was sort of shocking cos we were in a on-off relationship), but it also shook me to wake up too. I found a wonderful woman who loved me but I also worked on becoming an awesome man, boyfriend and husband.
I started
And much more.
