Gifts You Deserve to Give Yourself
« on: December 28, 2013, 09:45:39 am »
1. An open mind in full acceptance of life’s
changes.
You’re not the same person you were a year
ago, a month ago, or a week ago. You’re
always growing. Experiences don’t stop.
That’s life.
Sometimes there are things in our lives that
aren’t meant to stay. Sometimes the changes
we don’t want are the changes we need to
grow. Growth and change may be painful
sometimes, but nothing in life is as painful
as staying stuck where you don’t belong.
The bottom line is that you can’t reach for
anything new if you’re holding onto
yesterday. You may think holding on makes
you strong, but often it is letting go and
starting anew in the present.
2. A meaningful path and purpose.
If your life is going to mean anything, you
have to live it yourself. You have to choose
the path that feels right to YOU, not the one
that looks right to everyone else. It’s always
better to be at the bottom of the ladder you
want to climb, than the top of the one you
don’t. So don’t wait until you’re halfway up
the wrong ladder to listen to your intuition.
Every morning, ask yourself what is really
important, and then find the courage,
wisdom and willpower to build your day
around your answer.
In the end, it’s not what you say, but how
you spend your time that counts. If you
want to do something, you’ll find a way; if
you don’t, you’ll find an excuse. (Angel and I
discuss this in more detail in the “Goals and
Success” chapter of1,000 Little Things
Happy, Successful People Do Differently
.)
3. The time to do what truly matters.
Identify what’s most important to you.
Prune nonessential commitments. Eliminate
as much as you possibly can of everything
else. No wasted time, no fluff, no regrets.
The mark of a successful person is the ability
to set aside the “somewhat important”
things in order to accomplish the vital ones
first. When you’re crystal clear about your
priorities, you can painlessly arrange them
in the right order and discard the activities
and commitments that do not support the
ones at the top of your list.
4. The space to BE, without needless
worry.
If you think and you think and you think,
you will think yourself right out of
happiness a thousand times over, and never
once into it. Worrying doesn’t take away
tomorrow’s troubles, it takes away today’s
peace and potential. Stop over-thinking
everything. Life is too short.
Your biggest limitations are the ones you
make up in your mind. The biggest causes
of your unhappiness are the false beliefs
you refuse to let go of. You are capable of
far more than you are presently thinking,
imagining, doing or being. You will,
however, become what you habitually
contemplate, so clear your mind and let your
hopes, not your fears, shape your future.
How? Meditate. Run. Set your mind free.
5. Permission to be imperfect as you grow.
You may not be where you want to be yet,
but if you think about it, you’re no longer
where you once were either. You have good
reason to believe that you can trust yourself
going forward. Not because you’ve always
made the right choices, but because you
survived the bad ones, and taken small steps
in the right direction.
Focus on the right things and just do the
best you can. Don’t allow yourself to be
crippled by stress and self-loathing.
Everything is only as it is. There’s no reason
to let it destroy you. Breathe. Let every
moment be what it’s going to be. What’s
meant to be will come your way, what’s not
will fall away. And remember that a great
gift may not always be wrapped as you
expect. (ReadThe Last Lecture .)
6. Reassurance of being ENOUGH.
Tell yourself, “I am ENOUGH.” Accept your
flaws. Admit your mistakes. Don’t hide and
don’t lie. Deal with the truth, learn the
lessons, endure the consequences of reality,
and move on. Your truth won’t penalize you.
The mistakes won’t hurt you. The denial and
cover-up will. Flawed and vulnerable people
are beautiful and likable. Liars and phonies
are not. Every beautiful human being is
made entirely of flaws, stitched together
with good intentions and finished with
unique edges.
You are YOU for a reason. Ignore the
distractions. Listen to your own inner voice.
Mind your own business. Keep your best
wishes and your biggest goals close to your
heart and dedicate time to them every day.
Don’t be scared to walk alone, and don’t be
scared to enjoy it. Don’t let anyone’s
ignorance, drama, or negativity derail you
from your truth.
7. The right relationships.
Not everyone will appreciate what you do
for them. You have to figure out who’s
worth your attention and who’s just taking
advantage of you. If your time and energy is
misspent on the wrong relationships, or on
too many activities that force you to neglect
your good relationships, you can end up in a
tedious cycle of fleeting friendships,
superficial romances that are as thrilling as
they are meaningless, and a general sense
of wondering why you always seem to be
running in place, chasing affection.
Choose yourself rather than settle for those
who treat you as ordinary. YOU certainly
aren’t. Never settle for being someone’s
“option” when you have the potential to be
someone’s “first choice.” You are the sum of
the people you spend the most time with. If
you hang with the wrong people, they will
bring you down, but if youhang with the
right people, they will help you grow into
your best self. The RIGHT people for you will
love all the things about you that the WRONG
people are intimidated by – that’s what you
need to look out for.
8. Self-education.
As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Live as if you
were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were
to live forever.” Life is a book and those who
do not educate themselves read only a few
pages. When you know better you live
better. Period.
All education is self-education. It doesn’t
matter if you’re sitting in a college classroom
or a coffee shop. We don’t learn anything
we don’t want to learn. Those whotake the
time and initiative to pursue knowledge
on their own time are the only ones who
earn a real education in this world. Take a
look at any widely acclaimed scholar,
entrepreneur or historical figure you can
think of. Formal education or not, you’ll find
that he or she is a product of continuous
self-education.
9. A chance to touch your dreams.
Everyone dreams, but not equally. Too many
people dream only at night in the quiet of
their own minds, and then awake to find it
was all an illusion. Don’t be one of them.
Dream by the day instead. Be one of the
people who dream with their eyes wide
open, and who works to make them come
true.
Rest when you are tired, but don’t give up.
You never know what’s just around the
corner. It could be everything you’ve been
working for, or it might be just another mile
marker on your journey. Either way, when
you keep putting one foot in front of the
other, one day the next step you take will be
the one that carries you to your goal. (Read
Tuesdays with Morrie .)
10. The freedom to express your whole
truth.
The greatest and most gratifying
experiences in life cannot be seen or
touched. They must be felt with the heart
from the inside out. There’s nothing more
inspiring than the complexity and beauty of
human, heartfelt feelings. Sadly though,
many people let the fear of judgment numb
and silence them. Their deepest thoughts
and feelings often go unspoken, and thus
barely understood.
Do NOT let people invalidate or minimize
how you feel. If you feel something, you feel
it and it’s real to you. Nothing anyone says
has the power to invalidate that, ever. No
one else lives in your body, or sees life
through your eyes. No one else has lived
through your exact experiences. And so, no
one else has the right to dictate or judge
how you feel. Your feelings are important.
Don’t let anyone lead you to believe
otherwise.
