World today.
I was listening to Patterson the other day, pretty cool motivational speaker.
"You must improve because you don't like how pathetic your current life is"
Patterson
Listening to this guy is just something else. He would actually insult us in order to push us to improve ourselves. And it worked on me. It's him and a while team of motivational speaker and writers. They inspire me do much that I can't not want to inspire the next person. This is solely because of John Maxwell's book "How to treat everyone like a million bucks". This book taught me how to respect people but more precisely it taught me how to please people. Now that I'm grown out of that, I am glad to have added Patterson and Abraham Hicks to my team of mentors. I love them so much, who wouldn't.
Patterson says that we must expose ourselves to the world. This is in order for us to grow ourselves. Different conditions of the world impact us differently. The change will not be immediate or right now but it will most definitely grow on over time.
The genes are actually changeable in that they are influenced by our living conditions overtime. As Patterson states that if you want to improve majorly, you must move. Face new challenges and new fears. Grow out of your comfort zone then you create a new one out of which you'll again break out of. Time and time again growth is necessary. Unless you want to wake up one day and it's 70 years later on your 71st birthday you are wondering what just happened. Most people know that to go outside and do things like sports or another talent that can be practiced without much effort overtime is good for growth. We read, write, paint, shoot photos, do science experiments, what have you. It's all good for the health and state of mind. If not now then in the long run the difference will show.
In today's world however, I have noticed that patience is very important. In all life, it is important to be patience especially with ourselves and our own personal growth. The things we adapt in life and the things we no longer want to do in life. The patience that goes with the letting go of things is very important. It is the same patience that is needed for adopting new activities into our normal lifestyle. Sometimes we find ourselves stuck on a feeling of rush. To let go of this rush feeling, we need patience. Instead of noticing the haste in us and wanting to let it go immediately, we ought to scrutinize it for a while. This is so that it does not come back to haunt us. If things are not dealt with properly, it is inevitable that they will repeat again and again in our lifetime. Careful scrutiny is needed in times of haste. I find myself at times hurried by certain feelings so I stop myself in my tracks and ask myself, what is it with the rush? Then at the same time id be halfway through whatever I'm speeding through. Most of the time it has a lot to do with money. Slot of money is screaming "spend me spend me". These screams have seen my life stumbling down but what's not happening anymore is that spending. It is no longer happening like that, recklessly. The number one reason is that I learned to discipline myself. The other reason is that I can now see that I'm my own inspiration so I can not be doing myself injustice. I cannot continue bullying myself, the world is doing a good job at that. So I decided to learn more about myself and others, to learn more about the world at large and to learn more on different topic in all fields. This I did before but not like how I'm doing it now. It's different this time. There is more patience this time.
Another great mentor of mine, Sadh Guru talked about patience that there is no need of haste. Much haste in this world is like going nowhere fast. Patience is the mother of success. We need to be patient to allow things to unfold as they will. But in this world we want it now, right now. If I can't have it now then there must be an understandable reason to focus on something else. And that's the world today, we cannot be truly patient, we look for diversions to divert our attention.
"Patience is finding something to do in the meantime"
-Hermitworldwide
Not so long ago I always thought of patience as doing nothing. Waiting without causing a scene. That's how I defined patience for myself for Avery long time. It was until a while ago that I've learned that patience is actually learning to find something to do in the meantime. This is to separate one from toxic behaviour that tends to be a good distraction, like complaining. I observed myself back in middle school and found that I actually complained a lot. So this was a good point for me to stop complaining and a actually find something to do in the meantime that whatever I'm complaining about subsides. This has been hard because of my habits. I like to talk, most of the talks I did was complaining, but slowly I emerged from the complaining pit and into the tunnel now I can see the light. Well a bit of it. There's still a lot to be done but in this world it's all fun and games so why should I be the one to be complaining? That's the question that came to mind that I ought to do better than be complaining. Especially as I grew older, I needed to complain about nothing.
I started writing on paper, and as the pages got more I started loving it. It was priceless how the pens would finish the ink on the pages. The ideas would keep flowing and when the ideas stopped or I got cramped, I'd take a break and congratulate myself with something like a drink or two. I feel much better after rewarding myself for some good work done. It's so much better of a feeling than when it came from anyone else. So I wrote more and did many other activities. Which made me even more happier a d for this reason I am much more healthier today than I could ever be. This is part because I am starting to find my place in the world. This place of mine in the world has nothing to do with my past places in the world. I use to complain about the past and what injustice is being done to me. Now I see better days, the more I learn , the more I know that things if the past are like footprints in the sand. Remaining behind us.
Everyday it get more easier to actually stay happy. To have the drive to learn more and find out what the world has to offer. At the same time while not losing my composure. I like to believe that there is a lot more to this world that we know. This is slowly unfolding to me. I love every minute of it all. The connectivity is so beautiful, the way the young people are coming up with so much of the new ideas to thrive and break bondages that carried on for so long. It's genius and lovely at the same time because it help us realise that we are never alone. Our intentions are also connections, we connect to those that have the same intentions as us. Sometimes we wonder why it is that we have to go to that miserable job or group meeting. The truth is that the job or the group meeting is not miserable. This I found out during my time of complaining that, I was the miserable one not the people or the job or the school. As soon as I stopped complaining, everything changed. Because I had to replace complaining with something that would last, I found writing to be healing from complaining.
In some of my writing there is a lot of complaining too. So even when I adopted the no complain mindset, I still had to do more work to understand why it was that I kept complaining so much. Not only in my thoughts but also in person, so I had to stop the time waste and focus on the little progress I could conjure up. Through time, these progresses that I managed to conjure up amounted to major progress where I was no longer complaining at all. I was starstruck with my writing. All I could think about was the next thing or topic that I could write about.
My criteria or requirements for my writing is that it should be timeless, and broad. This means that anyone back in time can read and relate. Anyone a thousand years from now can still read and enjoy what message I wrote. This is hard to do and only about 2-4 of all the articles I write are truly timeless and broad. The broad criteria is the one involving almost all the topics around. They really need to be included so that they are touching on all peoples interests. This is not to stretch out too thin but to accommodate. So far I'm nowhere close to this but slowly I learn the ways off the world today and I adopt myself to get ways..
My character changed as I adopted new skills and knowledge. The more I learned and adopted what I've learned, the more my character changed. This has shown my character to be formidable in ways I never thought possible. I always thought that character was uniform. That you are born one way so you stay that way. But as I learned more I found peace in the changes that where shaping my character. Slowly I'd pay good for bad, I'd do things contrary to what and who I truly am used to as myself, the complainant. This character change made me chill and allow the flow to take its course. This is the order that I have to go through in order to be aligned with my character and find my place in the world as it is today. It's not like I'm not aligned with my character but there seem to be slight differences that pop up every now and then. These differences used to be points of complain too but now it's reason for peace. Instead of asking why me? I ask why not me? For every complain I found that it's me who was aggregating the condition I was in. By self reflecting I found healing in stoping the complaining.
The other side of the world today is growth. There is so much growth around the world that it's happening all the time, every second of every minute of every hour. Things just work out and unfold to manifest the dreams and visions of all visionaries. Especially in the northern hemisphere, which is enough inspiration for the southern hemisphere to follow suite. In the southern hemisphere we have everything from resources to people. We have so much that if the southern hemisphere start doubling our growth, in less than ten years the northern hemisphere will have to catch up. These kind of thoughts come alive when I stop complaining. Complaining was like a sickness of sorts that I had to shake off in order to heal my complaining self. Then the world around me became more beautiful and wonderful. I remember complaining so much that I wound have to search hard to find reasons why I still believe. That was the impact of complaining on my life. As soon as I stopped complaining, newer and fresher things started flowing my way. And its amazing.
Writing has also been the way to keep myself true and in line with the things that I say and do. The world today as we know it does not operate only on what we say. Unless you are extremely important, to which there are very few. If you are the average Joe, you will find that actions talk louder than words all the time. Going around with mismatching words and action has been one cause of my complaining. It was as if I'd go around looking for reason to complain. And I'd always find them, it wasnt the hardest thing to do. Just look for anything and if you don't find it, complain. Go somewhere, you'll most likely find a hundred reasons to complain per person you see.
What amazed me in all this was how much transformation came from writing. As I wrote about myself in the image that I had of myself in my head. I started seeing that I actually had a different thought of myself than I was giving the world to see. By writing I have learned to direct myself in the right direction. Which means that I aligned with my character by following on the words that I wrote. When I wrote about kindness and love, I showed kindness and love. When I write about healing, I saw every opportunity to complain as a method to heal in reverse. I'd flip the script and saw the good rather than the reason to complain. It worked 100% and I'm recommending it, that just cut the complaining and you will have more time for everything else.
Sadly this positive no complaining vibes took me from the world I knew into another world. Whatever others thought of me was none of my business really. I just carried on being complain less. Every time someone would throw a cheap shot at me. I wouldn't react, and even when I did, it'd be an appropriate reaction that is both respectful and commentable. Why? I wrote about this, all about how to react, when to react and a lot of other things too. Being a complainer and hypocrite in the past, I know very well what things from my past are not worth bringing into my now and my future. As I grow I sieve away the debris that I don't need anymore. It's truly healing and healing in all the best ways.
The other thing about this world is just how beautiful every placement in this world is. As we go around we influence the placements of things in the world but it's all in the script. This is because everything fits everything. So there's truly nothing incomplete in this world but also there is nothing do much done that it cannot get better. The world just keeps getting better. Almost in every way shape of form the world keeps getting better and better by the day. Once in a while there's a balancing catastrophe, something like a flood of volcanic eruption, tsunami or earthquake to level out some imbalances. This is how mother Gaia eases her stresses. There has not been anything of this kind lately, so we'd like to think that mother Gaia is doing herself well and we are not stressing her too much.
In the process of giving up complaining for a better mindset, I have spend so much time out in nature. Although no man's heart is an island it was very good for me to spend time out alone. It contributed a lot to my inner growth and introspection. What else happened was that I learned to look at myself from an outlook point of view where I got to see my problems for what they are. This has sparked a level of growth that I will stay on as I carry on listening to my mentors and motivational speakers. All this combination serves to heal and release me from my own creations of resistance mostly by complaining.
Giving up complaining was the best thing I've ever done in my life. At times I catch myself off guard complaining then I need to get my focus back on to the tasks that are at hand. Sharpening and growing my mindset has be the gift that giving up complaining has brought to me.
