Be Your Own Champion!
The most important relationship you will ever have is the one with yourself.
I believe the relationship within travels a different path in everyone. Sometimes we treat others better, sometimes we treat others worse but we should be treating ourselves the same way we treat others because when we start scaling ourselves against each other inner emotions start to feed the ego. Respect for yourself first leads to respect for others and for life itself, respect is the key component to maintaining healthy relationships and gratitude the key for keeping the ego in check. A relationship without respect or gratitude will inevitably become toxic and the length of time spent in a toxic relationship can determine the length of time it may take you to get over the emotional damage created from it.
Trying and failing will always be better than failing to try!
Failing to try will lower every form of how your value yourself, taking action will enhance your inner spirit and be a great reminder to you that nothing is going to keep you down. Action is very motivating as well as rewarding because at the very least, whether success was achieved or not, your self-worth and inner devotion is nurtured, acknowledge and validated. It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose, of course succeeding is always hoped for and welcomed but it doesn’t define you nor should you let it. Regret is usually the experienced effect from wondering how things may have turned out had you tried and the best reason for at least taking a shot. Regret stays with you, it stays there to remind you that you didn’t believe in yourself enough when you needed to and that exact same opportunity likely won’t present itself again. We attract what we need when we need it and your personal growth and self-evolvement depend on you taking advantage of opportunities when they arise. They aren’t presented at any old time, the Universe has carefully constructed all the necessary components needed to be in place to ensure your success. Your emotional state of being, awareness and circumstance needs to be in alignment and the Universe knows when all of this comes together. This isn’t just a guess, coincidence or dumb luck, everything happens when and how it’s supposed to and you are only asked to trust it and have faith. If success doesn’t occur it’s not because you are a failure, it’s because it wasn’t meant to. Success isn’t always what we think it is, I’ve learned plenty of lessons through failure and that is what turns out to be the success. That education gave me the experience I needed to succeed in the area I’m supposed to, an area that I might not have succeeded in had I not had the experience. Not everything is meant to work perfectly but all lessons and opportunities are meant to teach and advance us in some way.
What is the Universe trying to tell me?
Don’t drive yourself crazy trying to figure things out, they will become clear when they are supposed to. Everything happens for a reason, by design, by forces greater than us conspiring to make it happen, nothing happens by coincidence. Fate or destiny, however you want to label it, all happen for reasons not yet known to us. Reasons that will eventually become clear at the time you are most open to understanding and/or receiving it. You aren’t always open and there are times when circumstance detracts your attention and obstacles manifest, whether you’ve attracted them through your thoughts or not.
Remember: whatever you give the most thought to is what will increase and be sure to keep in mind that even if your conscious thought is thinking about something it wants to attract, your subconscious thought may be thinking otherwise. These two states of awareness have to be in alignment (working together) to be positively effective.
For example:
– If you are thinking you want to lose weight consciously but your subconscious mind is telling you that it’s just not going to happen, then it definitely will not happen.
– If you are thinking you want to quit a habit that is affecting your life negatively but your subconscious comes up with all sorts of reasons as to why it’s not going to work then you diffuse yourself before even starting and it definitely will not happen.
Not all but most of us have a habit of sabotaging our own efforts for a variety of reasons but there is one in particular that is most often behind it all and that is concession; acceptance and acknowledgement of defeat. Giving up before you even begin to try is a good way to prevent failing but it’s a great way to prevent success, what you don’t realize is that you’re failing yourself by not trying. You’re telling your inner spirit (the one that you should be nurturing) sorry the ego is going to win on this one because it’s the strongest but in reality it’s not it’s just the one you are choosing to feed.
If there is something you want out of life but you believe you will never have it, you will definitely succeed at never having it. Your thoughts are more powerful than you may realize so be careful which side of the spectrum you place them.
Positive thoughts produce positive actions and positive results!
No matter what aspect of your life you desire to adjust or improve your heart and mind must be in it together, as long as they are there is NOTHING you can’t do!
Feed your inner spirit first, acknowledge what it needs and thrives on, validate and reward yourself for personal victories along the way and success will surely follow.
