Expect to Change Your Opinions

How often do we begin some project certain we know exactly how it will go? How often do we meet people and think we know exactly who and what they are? And how often are these assumptions proved to be completely and utterly wrong?

This is why we must fight our biases and preconceptions: because they are a liability. Ask yourself: What haven’t I considered? Why is this thing the way it is? Am I part of the problem here or the solution? Could I be wrong here? Be doubly careful to honor what you do not know, and then set that against the knowledge you actually have.

Remember, if there is one core teaching at the heart of this philosophy, it’s that we’re not as smart and as wise as we’d like to think we are. If we ever do want to become wise, it comes from the questioning and from humility not, as many would like to think, from certainty, mistrust, and arrogance.

Best Solutions for Lifetime Growth

We’re not bound to fail in our endeavours if we are prepared to accept defeat. By defeat, I meant inability to get what we want no matter how we try. There are things that are beyond our control so we don’t have to be harsh on ourselves.

Even if we know that life is a challenge, we shouldn’t deny that it is also interesting. Everyday, we learn to deal with problems graciously. For lifetime growth, we seek knowledge and guidance from people who have made it to the cut – getting what they really want and being able to share it with others – and never take it for granted.

The best way to face failure is to accept that sometimes it happens. Just stand up, think about your goals and cut the losses. There’s always next time. Who knows? You’ll be able to get what you want the next time around.

Courage in Times of Challenges

Every person experiences challenges in this life. It is always the opposite of happiness. In all footsteps you take everyday, there are always problems.

It’s the first step to be victorious in the daily battles of life. Remember, your strength is all in your mind. If you just think positive, you’ll never feel the burden.

Accurate Self Assessment

Most people resist the idea of a true self-estimate, probably because they fear it might mean downgrading some of their beliefs about who they are and what they’re capable of. As Goethe’s maxim goes, it is a great failing “to see yourself as more than you are.” How could you really be considered self-aware if you refuse to consider your weaknesses?

Don’t fear self-assessment because you’re worried you might have to admit some things about yourself. The second half of Goethe’s maxim is important too. He states that it is equally damaging to “value yourself at less than your true worth.” Is it not equally common to be surprised at how well we’re able to handle a previously feared scenario? The way that we’re able to put aside the grief for a loved one and care for others though we always thought we’d be wrecked if something were to happen to our parents or a sibling. The way we’re able to rise to the occasion in a stressful situation or a life-changing opportunity.

We underestimate our capabilities just as much and just as dangerously as we overestimate other abilities. Cultivate the ability to judge yourself accurately and honestly. Look inward to discern what you’re capable of and what it will take to unlock that potential.

The Source of Your Anxiety

The anxious father, worried about his children. What does he want? A world that is always safe. A frenzied traveler what does she want? For the weather to hold and for traffic to part so she can make her flight. A nervous investor? That the market will turn around and an investment will pay off.

All of these scenarios hold the same thing in common. As Epictetus says, it’s wanting something outside our control. Getting worked up, getting excited, nervously pacing these intense, pained, and anxious moments show us at our most futile and servile. Staring at the clock, at the ticker, at the next checkout lane over, at the sky it’s as if we all belong to a religious cult that believes the gods of fate will only give us what we want if we sacrifice our peace of mind.

Today, when you find yourself getting anxious, ask yourself: Why are my insides twisted into knots? Am I in control here or is my anxiety? And most important: Is my anxiety doing me any good?

The Law of Radiation

This  expression of Divine Activity is one of the most practical utility. Understanding radiatory, or emanatory condition of all substances as a specific point in evolution allows one to approach Reality. It is the outer effect produced by all forms in all kingdoms when their internal activity has reached such a stage of vibratory activity that the confining walls of the form no longer form a prison, but permit the liberation of the subjective essence. Liberation means the ability of any conscious atom to pass out of one sphere of energized influence into another of a higher vibration of a larger and wider expanse of conscious realization.
