Think slow

An immediate reaction is not always the best reaction. When you think too fast you tend to ignore many of the best possibilities.

Sometimes you have no choice other than to think fast and act fast. Yet when you do have a choice, think longer, perhaps a little slower and more deliberately.

Give yourself the opportunity to take a multitude of factors into consideration. The more you understand, the more perspectives and information you consider, the better your thinking aligns with reality.

If you jump too quickly to a conclusion, you could be jumping right past many important truths. Being able to honestly justify your conclusion matters too, and that can take some time.

When the situation allows, invest the time. Think through how your response affects not only you, and not only in the moment, but how it impacts everyone else, and in the long run.

In a fast-moving world it’s tempting to take shortcuts, to think fast. Yet when there’s much at stake it’s well worth your while to think slow, and to get it right.

Making things better

What response will improve the situation? That’s the one to choose.

It’s not enough to claim you care. Merely appearing to make things better is insufficient at best, and perhaps even counterproductive.

Figure out what will bring positive, enduring results. Focus on that course of action.

Hold yourself and your actions to a high standard. Refuse to settle for anything less than effectiveness that provides a clear benefit.

Every circumstance comes with opportunity for improvement. Go through the details until you can find and seize upon a realistic, workable opportunity.

Then put your skills, knowledge, and persistence to work. Make it through the day, the task, the challenge by making things better.

It all comes back

The most profound joy is in giving joy. The most inescapable pain is to cause pain.

Your actions affect your own life in the manner and to the cumulative degree they affect others. That can be a beautiful experience or a terrible, unbearable one, depending on the nature of those actions.

Offer to the world whatever you seek to obtain. Amplify the goodness accessible to you by sharing it far beyond you.

Be mindful of the very real and enduring connection between you and all of life. Wherever else your behavior is directed, it is surely directed also at you.

Make wise and beneficial use of the connectedness that is always present in life. Act as if anything that flows out from you flows back in even greater measure, for that is certainly the case.

Send out love, courage, joy, meaning. It all comes back to you.

Spark of goodness

Give all your awareness to the purity of your existence. Step away from the repetitive chatter of thoughts, of sensations.

For a little while, just be. Enable time itself to loosen completely its hold on you.

Experience the wonder of feeling anything and everything, and nothing. Connect with the aspect of now that has no beginning and no end.

Give your spirit plenty of space to be completely renewed and refreshed. Demand nothing of your mind and let it show you how beautiful everything can be.

Breathe in the pure and uncorrupted air of possibility. Let it freely, naturally connect with all you love.

See with certainty the goodness that always glows brightly. Carry a spark of that goodness wherever you go.

I want you to know that, no matter where you are in life… No matter how low you have sunk… No matter how bleak your situation… This is NOT THE END.

This is not the end of your story
This is not the final chapter of your life.

I know it may be hard right now
But if you just hang in there
Stick it out
Stay with me for a little while…
You will find, that this tough moment will pass, and, if you are committed to USING this pain, 
using it to build your character, 
finding a greater MEANING for the pain, 
you will find that, in time, 
you can turn your life around, and help others going through the same struggles.

It’s estimated almost half the population suffers from depression at some stage throughout their life.

Rather than join the cue, it’s important we it’s learn why we get down, and then how we can change it, because believe it or not, we create our own negative feelings and we can also ensure that we turn our lives around and be a positive change for others.

The reason anyone gets depressed always comes down to the CONSISTENT thoughts we think, and the CONSISTENT beliefs we hold.

Let me say that again.

The reason anyone gets depressed always comes down to the CONSISTENT thoughts we think, and the CONSISTENT beliefs we hold.

Changing your mind

You’re allowed to change your mind. It can actually be a refreshing thing to do, not to mention helpful, productive, and insightful.

It won’t kill you to admit to yourself or others that you were mistaken. Perhaps it could even make the situation a whole lot better.

Sure, it’s a blow to your pride when you acknowledge being wrong, particularly if you’ve been adamant about your position. But is your pride really more important than the truth?

Sincere, honest people admire open-mindedness, and for good reason. Being truly open minded involves an eagerness to change your mind when that’s what the facts call for.

It’s an act of freedom, an act of integrity. It serves to better align you with truth and reality.

When circumstances make it necessary and appropriate, change your mind. Improve your perspective and improve your world.

Commit with action

Wishes, plans, and promises have a common deficiency. They all lack meaningful commitment.

Commitment begins when you take action. The most impressive words, the most detailed strategies have little meaning until they’re acted upon.

Are you not quite ready to begin? Begin anyway, initiate genuine commitment, and you’ll quickly be making progress and will forget about whether you were ready or not.

You can always learn and adjust as you go, but it doesn’t work the other way around. You never make progress if all you’re doing is learning, preparing, and revising your plans.

Give your intentions the action they deserve. Implement your plans, go where they lead, and you’ll invoke the power of commitment.

If you wish you could, if you think you can, begin it. Commit with action and make it happen.

Make new meaning

Meaning in life is not something you find by stumbling across it or searching for it or having it handed to you. The meaning in your life is the meaning you actively bring into it.

Life becomes filled with meaning as a result of time spent, activity you genuinely engage in, effort you put forth. Curiosity, struggle, connection, faith, joy, challenge, and achievement are but a few of the ways for giving meaning to life.

If you’re worried that not enough meaning will result from some particular choice, stop worrying and start doing. Meaning comes from being actively involved, not from analyzing and strategizing to capture it.

Sincerely care about the various aspects of what you’re doing and you cannot help but create meaning. Let go of the pretenses and let the meaning flow from your authentic actions.

You live a whole lot better when you have something to live for. That makes meaning more valuable than just about anything else.

Understand that every situation is an opportunity to make new meaning. The richness is yours to continue creating.
