Searching for a perfect life in a perfect world.

The world we search for is inside of us. We can’t shape everything outside us to be exactly the way we want, but we can be everything we want. The happiest people make the best of everything, just as it is, in this very moment. Not in any circumstances changing, not in the attaining of anything, but in finding joy in the moments you have right now.

Finding Peace in the Midst of Chaos

Peace of mind is not a goal I need to achieve.  It’s a place inside I never want to leave.  Close my eyes, I still my thoughts and then I say I will choose to live in peace today. – Robert Alan

It’s a choice to disengage from the energy of those around you, when the energy is not so positive.You can’t change the other person, you’ve got to change yourself. Either distance yourself from the situation or person, if harmful, or work on whatever it is that’s making you react within yourself.  Still your thoughts, quiet your mind, let it be easy. In the long run, happiness, love, peace, never last from outside sources, but always comes from within. You have to be the one that makes you happy, you have to be the one that gives you peace.

Love yourself – Just a thought…

The Excellence of Habit

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.” Will Durant in summation of an Aristotle idea.

At the beginning of every year we set goals for ourselves. Throughout the year, we may reminisce on those goals, as often they have become old friends. We’ve thought about the goals and have repeated them to ourselves, over and over again, year after year. An although the goals are truly a desired change, changing our habits are not. 

 So our first step should not be in directly attaining the desired result, but a desire in creating a habit, that after time, will produce the result desired. You get to create your new self with behaviors that if practice daily, begins to feel like the self that you want to be.
