The Rules of be-living

Two whole months, that's how much I was away, that is surely no way to keep an audience motivated. My only excuses, I doubt that you will accept them, were that I had my hard disk fail and that I changed jobs so I had little time for myself and for the blog. With that out of the way I will get back to my original purpose, to help my readers be-live.

4. Smile like you feel it

Have you ever seen someone smile like they were getting paid to do it and felt like they
were underpaid? I have seen this many times, and my reaction is always the same:
If you are going to smile, feel it inside you, show those inner feelings and express all that love
and all the peace that is going on inside yourself.

The first person that will be benefited from a wholehearted smile is yourself, and I am positively aware of the reactions of others when they see a real smile. Remember that everyone can spot a fake smile, so why fake it?

When in doubt, do

Everybody has had times of reflection, a moment to pause and think back about the good and the bad and the ugly. Everyone has had that sort of reflection, but how many take a short moment to dedicate it to the future? It is pretty simple actually, it is just a matter of thinking what others want from you, and what you want from yourself. When this sort of ideas come into mind, you should try to put yourself in a positive state first, reflect upon those whom you love, the ones that are far from you, physically or emotionally. What kind of words do you think they might need today, what kind of words do you need today?

If we can set apart a few minutes of our daily chores to think about this small but very important things, your life will start balancing out and a more positive state of be-living will come into place. Remember that those that most need help are the ones that more desperately seem to avoid it.

Here goes my motivational post for today:

3. Recover your tranquility

After you have suffered a disgust you can let it control your mind, your soul and the actions that come after the event. It is your decision to have a better outcome by getting back your equilibrium and positive mental disposition thus being constructive instead of destructive.

Having positive and optimistic thoughts will build a pleasant life.

As promised, there will be a daily motivational post, here's today's message:

2. Stay away from anguish!

Problems will arise, at work at home, at the park, in many places.
It depends upon how you face them, that they will either dominate you, or you will be in control of them.
Elude work excess, the need to maintain an extremely fast pace in your daily chores and the lack of adequate rest.
If something doesn't turn out right, forget about bringing up bad thoughts or words or to be aggressive. Take it easy, for your serenity is the fountain of health and efficiency.

"The most certain trait of wisdom is constant serenity"
Montaigne.

Failure?

Today was one of those days when so many things happened, a friend of a relative died in a motorcycle accident, after having to suffer for many hours in a hospital and not receiving the proper attention that she needed. Then a co-worker was being sexually harrassed by her boss and she called me at the brink of tears, I almost didn't know what to do, fortunately she will be relocated to another place and hopefully the guy can be charged later on, but that is another story.

So I began to think about failure, some people never fail in their whole lives, or at least they seem no to fail, they seem perfect, and act perfect. While others seem to fail repeatedly and never learn from their previous mistakes or just keep making new ones as life just passes them by. I, for one, have not been as lucky to have been born perfect, and have not driven myself crazy to achieve it, but I have tried to make every mistake count in building my very-much- less-than-perfect self to learn and try to make fewer errors and project into the future what will be the outcome of the things I do before I do them.

In what moment do we know that we have failed or earned a victory? It could be at the end of your life, when it would be extremely late, or at the end of each day, or every few hours. It really doesn't matter how you keep your accountings in this, what really matters is that at the end of the day you feel that you are learning to be a better human being by helping yourself develop new skills in the never ending story of progress. So even if you may have failed once, twice or many times, the next time that you will embark into something new, you better put your heart into it, start planning ahead, and try to think how important it is to do things right the first time they come.

The first step to really get things done well is by be-living in yourself, knowing that you can do everything you set your mind to in the best possible way.

Once

How many times can you end up doing a wrong thing?
Is it enough to do it once, twice maybe three times?
Should you be allowed to err even once?
No, we are not perfect although many strive towards perfectionism. We are just simple human beings, but everything that we put our efforts in and our passion to; has to be done well the first time.

Once is all we have to make the best out of ourselves, one life, one alternative to choose from, one way to do things.

Even so, human beings are difficult, they, or I should say we, have the opportunity to think and thus stray from the correct path, but the more we practice in the choosing of our own decisions, the better we can get to lean towards the path that can lead us to a more forgiving, more tolerant way of be-living.

The Rules of be-living

Every day has a new meaning, so my purpose as of today is to write a small motivational message from now on. Here is the first:

1. You can if you be-live you can
Grow confidence in yourself
You are capable of much more of what you imagine
You are not omnipotent
But with your reasonable effort
you will accomplish very difficult tasks.
Face your problems with serenity
and straightforwardness, always expecting
results in your favor
