Some days we feel invincible, powerful, godlike and some days we feel vulnerable, shameful, and weak. Why is that? Why is it that some days we are surging with confidence and other days we can barely walk with pride? I say it has to do with how we train our minds. If we have always taken the easy way out of things,(ex. if you hate someone and you avoid confrontation) then that will set up how we feel when we go out there to get some tasks done. We will feel shameful and weak all because we wouldn’t confront a single individual. It could be laziness that makes us not do things that will make us like ourselves and fill us with pride(the good kind of pride) or it could be apathy holding us back, perhaps boredom or maybe even fear,insecurities etc. Well I noticed that the brain operates on momentum. We need to build momentum in order to be confident and self assured in the long run. And yes we will need to do this numerous times, face our fear, our perceived boredom and apathy, whatever it is and just tackle it down as soon as possible so we don’t get stuck in a downward spiral of mediocrity.
The only ‘demon’ that is in our way is ourselves, no one else is doing anything to us. Sure they may influence our thinking but we always have control of what we think, do and say. We can be outspoken, or soft spoken. We can be aggressive or passive. We can be open or closed off. We can be strong or weak. We can be happy or miserable. We can be dominant or submissive. We can take joy in who we are or despise ourselves. We can be intelligent or unintelligent. We can learn from mistakes or keep doing them over and over. We can stand with those who are like us or we can stand alone. We can gain strength, knowledge and skills from tough situations or we can avoid them. In the end the choice is ours, no one else’s words can do anything to us, no one else’s actions can do anything to us.
Fear and comfort
Fear and comfort will always be holding us back, among other things. We grasp to familiarity and fight change like it’s a bad thing. People want to get as cozy, comfortable and secure as possible and they will never get anywhere because of that. We need radical change and action. The present moment can be a good place to start moving in a more powerful and dominant path. It’s not easy and we won’t want to do it at the moment and it may be painful at the moment but overtime we will be glad we made the choice to act in spite of fear, laziness, comfort, insecurity, sleepiness etc. We will like ourselves more and respect ourselves more once we decide that we want a more powerful life. Some may not care that their life is bad, I am like that sometimes, some days I just don’t give a damn about how my life is, I just want to jerk off, game and surf the net and let my negative thoughts keep me from doing what I know is going to make me most satisfied and accomplished which will breed euphoria.
Thought is the enemy
Some say thought is the enemy and that may be true, many of us spend too much time thinking about what we want and we never get up and move towards it. A goal without action is only a day dream. But of course the good things in life take some time and some effort. No way around that unfortunately.
Why do we set up all these barriers to keep us from becoming our best? We let people’s words define us. What rubbish, it pisses me off. Words are just words, they only become powerful once you attach meaning to them. Why is it that we humans always want to do things the easy way and just be lazy. If you’re youthful get up and move, if there any enemies or discomfort in your way simply cancel the distractions out of your mind and focus on what will make you happiest and most successful. It’s either the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. Again it’s your choice. Regret can be painful. So let’s use discipline for now shall we. Let’s learn to enjoy each moment and stay more relaxed or get pumped and mad! Tackle the world down before the world tackles you down. People prey on you vulnerability. DO NOT LET THEM. PROTECT YOURSELF WITH POWERFUL CONFIDENCE AND PRIDE. Apply knowledge before we end up forgetting it and/or write it down somewhere for reviewing.
