Beliefs

As I was doing research on how to properly form a mission statement, I came across this question: 

What beliefs do I hold to be true?

Many, I will list as many as I can here:

• my personal success and decisions are solely dependent on myself

• live a life free of blame

• suffering should be avoided at all costs if not necessary

• I should be the first to make a positive change and not wait for others

• make the most of blessings and resources that we have

• judge by facts & evidence - not assumptions

• should be grateful for what we have

• only we can love & understand  ourself in a way nobody else can

• don't judge yourself for things out of your control

• we were all given certain talents for a reason

• can't expect new results doing same old things

• there exists a creator, and all creation has an important role &  purpose

• nothing is by coincidence

• I never regretted doing something truly good for myself, others, or creating something that I wanted to create out of inspiration.

• there is no such thing as one soulmate, relationships are ultimately a rational decision

• what goes around comes around

• there is no shame in doing your best

• don't judge a person until you've walked in their shoes

• self-respect is not selfish

• let faith & wisdom lead life - not fear

• live life like everyday is your last - because one day you'll be right

• it is not just a belief when you know it is true

• can't complain about the results until you've tried all your possible options

• little things add up to be big things

• nothing comes without a price; choose wisely

• money is like water

• growth is not meant to be comfortable

• Talk The talk, Walk The Walk

• some things are easier said than done

• better coward alive than a hero dead

• we are more influential than we can imagine

• emotions lie/facts don't

• the soul should be in control of the body and not vice-versa

• History has a tendency to repeat itself

• The best way to reconstruct the future, is by reconstructing the present and learning from the past

• Quantity does not equal Quality (Quantity ≠ Quality)

• The Creator has one truth that exists for all people, religion is selectively man-made by specific groups of people.

• There is one truth, but many ways of perceiving that one truth.

• Se há vida, há esperança 

(If there is life, there is hope)

and many more I may or may not list on here later..... 

Simplicity

Simplicity

 Today simplicity has been on my mind. 

After so much time I have anxiously ran and stressed to complete my internal to-do-list, anticipating life, 

I stop to breathe, pray, meditate and think - 

"If I am pushing so much, 

stress, and time in this direction with little to no results, 

actually ending up most of the time exactly where I was before 

- despite all of my efforts, 

even trying new ways to achieve the same goal with the same boomerang effect..."

In a spiritual and reality driven mindset, the boomerang effect is a situation defined as clearly failed attempts that should be understood as pushing in the wrong direction.

Therefore the definition of insanity is further defined being characterized as irrationality;

So the boomerang effect in our own lives should serve as a sign, a  reflection of attempts in the wrong direction

So without further ado to continue my meditative thought, i did self talk to myself the following:

" I am enough. 

I know I have tried enough. 

I am constantly doing more effort that I possibly can, and more than I initially believed I could, 

to get where I need to be, 

as a person, as a family member, as a coworker, as a partner, as a soul... 

so now is the time to 

stop - 🚫

to stop 

anticipating, expecting, pushing, demanding, running, yearning, wanting....

now is the time to 

accept. ☑️

accept my current situation

accept and understand my efforts to improve the situation

accept I am not in full control of my situation

accept my own limitations

accept I may or may not have everything in my life the way I would like it to be

accept the pain, discomfort, impatience, 

pray to Gd and give it to Him, the Creator 

- let Gd take full control.

and

- surrender

surrender to life

surrender to truth

surrender to gratefulness

surrender to & accept the uncertainty

surrender to & accept the fear and anxiety

surrender to & accept the "failures"

✳️Be fully present

❇️Be fully alive

✳️Be fully love

❇️Be fully acceptance

✳️Be fully truth

Be simplicity - 

and just let life, go on."

Authenticity

Authenticity - 

Don't let other's superficial opinions or doubts interfere with your natural talents and discovering your authentic self. 

You are here on this earth and you are who you are because no one else can do you like you.

So do the Creator, the universe, the world, your community and yourself a favor ... find your real talents & practice them, pursue them appropriately with pure joy, gratefulness, and full heart. 

Do what you know best, and the rest will come naturally as you are going along your way, doing only what you can do, being the you that only you can be. 😊♥️
