“Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape
of pains, losses and disappointments; but let us have patience and we soon
shall see them in their proper figures.” ~ Joseph Addison
What if one day you woke up and decided that you were
tired of feeling tired and that you had enough of everything? Enough of stress
and anxiety, enough of anger and resentment, enough of struggle, lack, pain and
poverty, enough of tears, heartbreaks, self destructive thoughts, behaviors and
relationships and enough of all that is negative and toxic? What if you decided
that you wanted to change yourself and your life but didn’t know where exactly
to start, what then?
There are many things you can do to begin rebuilding
your life and make it ridiculously amazing and today I will share with you 12
things that are meant to help you do just that. Are you ready? Let’s begin:
1. Make a commitment to yourself
I (name),
Make a commitment to myself,
To spend so much time improving myself
and my life that I have no time for worry,
judgement, criticism, whining and complaining;
To forgive, release and let go of my
attachment to any past struggles and allow every challenge life sends my way to
make me better not bitter.
Starting now, I make a commitment to let
go of what’s behind me and start appreciating what’s in front of me;
To let go of all the pointless drama, all
the toxic relationships, thoughts and behaviors that are present in my life and
to constantly shift my focus from the bad on to the good;
To make room in my heart for love,
happiness, peace and tranquility and to create my life from a place of infinite
choices and possibilities – the present moment, and no longer from a place of
limitations – the past.
I commit to staying true to myself at all
times and to never betray myself just so I can please other people.
I commit myself to give up on toxic
thought, behaviors and relationships but never on myself and my dreams.
Starting now and starting today, I
will begin rebuilding my life and to
make it ridiculously amazing.
Sincerely,
(name)
Once you truly commit to rebuilding your life and
making it ridiculously amazing, nothing and no one will be able to stand in
your way.
2. Forgive, release and let go of past
hurts and resentments
Fill your heart with love. Forgive, release and let
go. Not necessary because those who mistreated you deserve it, but because you
do. Let forgiveness liberate you from your past. Allow it to take away all the
resentment you kept in heart for all this time and allow yourself to fill in
that empty space with love, inner peace and compassion.
If others mistreated you in the past it doesn’t mean
you have to continue their work. Look how beautiful Mark Twain talks about
this: “Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is
stored than to anything on which it is poured.”
Release and let go of all the negativity from your
life. Start small and trust that as you work on letting go of all the extra
baggage that is weighting you down, you will begin to feel lighter and you will
gain a lot more clarity over your life. You will feel happier and more at peace
with yourself and the world around you.
3. Embrace with grace all that you face
Shift your focus from the bad on to the good, from
the pain on to the gain, from resentment on to the forgiveness, gratitude and
appreciation. Learn to embrace with grace all that you face.
Appreciate everything life sends your way, whether
good or bad and know that “Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for
today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” ~ Melody Beattie
4. Visualize your achievements and create
your destiny
Ask yourself the same question I asked myself a few
years ago when I decided to let go of my attachment to my past and begin
rebuild my whole life: “If there were no limits to what I can do, be and have,
how would my life look like?”
Let your imagination run wild. Dare to dream big.
Don’t settle for less than you are worth.
The richer your imagination, the more beautiful your
life will be.
“The power of imagination is incredible. Often we see
athletes achieving unbelievable results and wonder how they did it. One of the
tools they use is visualization or mental imagery… they made the choice to
create their destinies and visualized their achievements before they ultimately
succeeded.” ~ George Kohlrieser
See in your mind’s eye the life you would love to
live, the person you would love to become and the relationships you would want
to have. Live your life from the end and act as if all of the things you need
and desire are already present in your life. Feel the feelings that come from
having all those wonderful things happen to you and allow those feelings to be
with you at all times.
5. Dreams won’t work unless you do
Act upon your heart’s desire. Do the things you need
to do in order to get where you want to get. Read the books you need to read,
contact the people you need to contact, build the skills you need to build.
Find a mentor. Dare to ask questions. Do whatever it
takes to move yourself closer to making your dreams come true.
Trust that with every step you take, your life
situation will improve and you will become even more happier than you already
are.
6. Take one step at a time
Because of the many years of past conditioning and
the intense training you have in holding on to toxic thoughts, behaviors and
unhealthy relationships, giving up on all that is toxic in your life won’t be
easy and it won’t happen overnight. Chances are that you won’t see major improvements
in your life immediately, and that’s okay. Be patient and gentle with yourself
while working on rebuilding your life and remember to enjoy the journey.
“Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is
found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.” ~ Greg Anderson
Take one step at a time and keep in mind that a
journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.
7. Develop a deep trust in life
You have to have faith. You have to have trust… Trust
in yourself, trust in the people you interact with and trust in life.
Put your fears aside. Allow yourself to be
vulnerable. Develop a deep trust in the wisdom of life. “Truly I tell you, if
you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move
from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” ~
Matthew 17:20
8. Give yourself permission to “fail”
Give yourself permission to “fail” and make
“mistakes”.
Trust me when I tell you that in every “mistake”
there is a lesson to learn, lesson that will be very beneficial to you as you
continue walking on your life’s chosen path.
“There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon
ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we
need to learn; whatever steps we take, they’re necessary to reach the places
we’ve chosen to go.” ~ Richard Bach
9. Be good to yourself
Love yourself and be good to yourself because if you
do, the world around you will start mirroring your behavior. Take good care of
your mind, body, heart and soul. Exercise, drink plenty of water, eat healthy
and delicious food.
Nurture good thoughts. Act in compassionate and
loving ways, towards yourself and the world around you. Spend time alone,
spending at least 5 to 10 minutes per day in silence would make you help make
you feel refreshed, rejuvenated and renewed.
Go outside. Spend some time in nature. Look at the
plants, the sky, the stars, the moon and the trees. Celebrate the miracle of
life.
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as
though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” ~
Albert Einstein
10. Give up living your life to other
people’s expectations
Way too many people are living a life that is not
theirs to live. They live their lives according to what others think is best
for them, they live their lives according to what their parents think is best
for them, to what their friends, their enemies and their teachers, their
government and the media think is best for them. They ignore their inner voice,
that inner calling. They are so busy
with pleasing everybody, with living up to other people’s expectations, that
they lose control over their lives. They forget what makes them happy, what
they want, what they need….and eventually they forget about themselves.
Never get your sense of worth from outside
yourself. Your worth comes from inside
yourself and not from forces outside yourself – people, events, material
possessions. Don’t ever let other people tell you how much you’re worth, decide
for yourself. It’s called self worth not others worth.
You have one life – this one right now – you must
live it, own it, and especially don’t let other people’s opinions distract you
from your path.
11. Discipline your mind to stay present
in the NOW
Learn to be present and engaged in the present
moment. Be happy with what you have, what you know and who you are right now.
Don’t allow your mind to trick you into thinking that you won’t be happy until
you get where you want to get.
Appreciate what’s in front of you. If you learn how
to be present and engaged in the NOW, you will live a very happy and content
life and no matter how many challenges life will send your way, you will become
a better not bitter person.
“As soon as you honor the present moment, all
unhappiness and struggle dissolve, and life begins to flow with joy and ease.
When you act out the present-moment awareness, whatever you do becomes imbued
with a sense of quality, care, and love – even the most simple action.” ~
Eckhart Tolle,
12. Surround yourself with loving and
supportive people
Surround yourself with positive, cheerful, supportive
and loving people. People who can lift you up when you are feeling down; people
who will turn on the light for you when you are in the dark; people who can see
you for what you truly are and who you can truly become. Take the advice of Mark
Twain and “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small
people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can
become great.”
You need positive and loving friends who will support
you in your new way of life…
Commit yourself to making the best of everything life
sends your way. Be soft and flexible. Go with the flow of life and no longer
against it.
Enjoy the ride and no matter what happens to you and
no matter how many challenges and difficult people life might send your way,
know that they are all there to help you grow and evolve into the beautiful
being you so much want and deserve to be.
You only have one life to live. Make it a memorable
one.
Give up on all the toxicity present in your life but
never on yourself and your dreams, ok?
“The road of life twists and turns and no two
directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the
destination.” ~ Don Williams Jr.

ReplyDeleteQUE IMPORTANTE ES PODER ESTAR EN TU PRESENCIA Y SABER QUE ASTAS PALABRAS SERÁN DE MUCHÍSIMO INSENTIVO PARA ALCANZAR METAS QUE LAS DESCONOZCO, PERO CONOCIENDO LA VERDAD OH MI VERDAD, TODO SERA POSIBLE.
NO ES TEMA DE CONTENDER, SINO, SABER MAS, SI!
ES UNA VERDAD QUE NO SABEMOS Y ESTA EN LAS ESCRITURAS, “LA BIBLIA”-
OBSERVA, DIOS NO TE OBLIGA A CREER EN “EL”,
PERO ENVIÓ A SU HIJO JESÚS, PARA AYUDARTE,
PERO SI NO CONOCES…. ¿QUE DICE JESÚS?,

de día y de noche meditarás en él, para que guardes y hagas
conforme a todo lo que en él está escrito; porque entonces harás
prosperar Tú camino, y todo te saldrá bien.
Si permanecéis en mí, y mis palabras permanecen en vosotros, pedid todo lo que queréis, y os será hecho. (San juan 15:7)
Porque de tal manera Me Amo Dios, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito “Jesús”, para que Si YO creo en él , no me pierda, más tenga vida eterna.(San Juan 3: 16)
AHORA, DILE A DIOS ESTO:….
AMADO DIOS, RECONOZCO QUE HE PECADO CONTRA
TI,
RENUNCIO A LO QUE YO CREO,.. RENUNCIO A LA ENFERMEDAD, RENUNCIO A LOS VICIOS, RENUNCIO A LAS DEUDAS. ME ARREPIENTO, PERDÓNAME!
SEÑOR JE SUS, TE RECIBO, ENTRA EN MI CORAZÓN, ANOTA MI NOMBRE EN EL “LIBRO DE LA VIDA”, HAS DE MI LO QUE TU QUIERAS QUE SEA, GRACIAS POR
HACERME HIJO DE DIOS.-
ENSÉÑAME TU PALABRA Y TE SERVIRÉ SEÑOR!!!
