Overcoming negativity

In we were to use the theory of mathematics, logic, and reasoning in handling negativity we would face it with more negativity. By way of an eye for an eye. But this beget nothing except more hurt and more pain. If they take our eye and we take their eye, eventually both of us will be blind.

However if we do not do this but show negativity with positivity, turn them the other cheek. Overcoming those negativity with kindness, your own personal will, casting away your own fear and pushing aside any burden. Then what we overcome can only become our own positive.

Desire vs. Fear

Doing something because you want to, not because you fear.

Recently I was traveling around my country and I met an interesting battle that occurs within me a lot of times. There are times when I want to do something, but then I figure out that I have a fear for the results and I do not do it. But life is too short to fear and fear simply cuts us off from our ties with the Universe. Imagine that you hear the whisper of the Universe telling you that this person is your soul mate and you wish to talk to him, but you stop because you fear that it might not be true and you end up not knowing which one is it. I vote, that it probably was your/mine soul mate, but now we will know neither if it is true or not. And what worst might happen if it is not your soul mate? You learn a lesson. Isn't that great?! So I offer you to do this: if you want to do something, but decide not to do it because you feel a fear for something, forget the fear! And just do it. Life is a lesson in itself. Let us swim in it with joy and exploration.

Love,

Challenging yourself

When we overcome a challenge we grow in our strength and determination, as well as in term of wisdom and knowledge.

So when life exist without challenge we stagnate and sometime regress due to unused gifts and abilities.

Challenge yourself once in a while, to do new things, to achieve new goals and perhaps we can stay on par with who we are and even better yet improve ourselves even more.

Better than me

When I see others who I think are better than me, I see it as a challenge that I must overcome.

If they are indeed better than me then obviously I must lack something they have.

So therefore I must be better than them to overcome whatever weakness I may have had.

Why stop at being as good as they are, why not be even better than they are in your own eyes.

So if they are better than you, you have no choice but to be a better you.

Life without hardship is like a beach without sands

In life, we are continuously challenged by various hardship. But it is these hardship that allows us to appreciate life as we have it.

In the same way can you appreciate the beach when it has sands, otherwise it will be just rocks and water.

Imagine walking on those rocks in the water, there would be very little pleasure in it but to feel the sands in our toes can we appreciate the softness that those little things has to offer.
