Your heart [your faith, confidence, conviction and affinity] determines everything. If your faith does not uphold you and give you constant happiness and strength then what is the purpose of your faith? If your faith is not truly satisfying [if your faith is not satisfying you] then you are living a lie and betraying yourself. Hypocrisy destroys credibility, conviction and trust. Not only will others not believe and trust in you but you will end up unable to trust or believe in yourself. You will end up not being able to believe in anything or in anyone. Losing all support from within and from without your life will collapse and come to a pitiful, grinding, halting and unsatisfying end. Your whole life will pass you by and you will not have nothing to show for it, no gains, no achievements, just regret and remembrance of a life spent idly to no good purpose. It is a terrible thing to live such an aimless, fruitless and purposeless life, being carried here and there by life circumstances instead of by our determined will, effort and disciplined living.
We must advance, grow and evolve in our appreciation, perspective and understanding of things. We must outgrow childish, foolish and petty nonsense. We must grow up. We must be willing to let go of what has not truly benefited us. Why? Because what we set our hearts upon determines everything.
Our outlook, attitude and expectation determines not only what we see and experience in life but it also determines how we interpret what we can see and experience. A true faith and a genuinely satisfying outlook must make you strong, confident, unified, whole and fearless in a realistic manner and not in a theoretical manner. It is impossible to continue to try to make oneself believe in things that only weaken, fragment, divide and agitate ones heart and mind. We have to move and press forward to greater and more satisfying vistas.
Your spirit, your heart and your inner-life condition is what determines and conditions your faith, your confidence, what you can or will achieve and your very quality of life. You will go no further in life and achieve no more than than what your inner-life condition will allow and enable you to achieve. Our outer life is only the expression and materialization of who, what and where we presently are inwardly, of who we believe ourselves to be, of what we believe we can truly achieve, of what we really want.
Everything depends on our heart. If we decide that something is impossible for us then according with our attitude and determination, even possible things will become impossible for us. On the other hand, if we have the confidence that we can definitely do something then we are one step closer to achieving it, that is if we set out in a practical manner to realize it.
If you are a pessimistic person then be prepared for your quality of life and manner of living to be a pessimistic one. If you are a pessimistic person then be prepared to have your life on a permanent standstill. Negative thoughts, negative attitudes, negative feelings and laziness of heart will not fail to produce negative results. If you lack enthusiasm, practicality and faith, and if you lack confidence in yourself then everything will always seems far way, distant, impossible and unachievable to you even though it is actually close at hand and not particularly difficult to achieve.
If you are an optimistic person then be prepared for your quality of life and manner of living to be an optimistic one. Positive thoughts, positive attitudes, positive feelings and a motivated heart will not fail to produce positive results.
Pessimistic people lacking in enthusiasm and practical action will always create for themselves an unsatisfying, troublesome and hellish quality and condition of life that perfectly reflects their inner-state, their feelings, their attitudes, their inactivity and thoughts.
Study yourself carefully and honesty and you will discover why it is that your particularly quality and manner of life is what it is. Study yourself carefully and honestly and you will discover, understand and know all that you need to know to improve and elevate your inner-life condition and your overall quality of life.
Transform your attitude, feeling and thinking. Transform your life.
Optimistic people who have enthusiasm and practical action will create for themselves a satisfying, peaceful and heavenly quality and condition of life that perfectly reflects their inner-state, their feelings, their attitudes and their thoughts.
Do not force yourself to pursue things that you do not believe in. Do not allow others to put you on a journey that is not your own. Do not allow others to put into your heart and mind things that they themselves do not truly and completely believe. Refuse to let other seed your heart with fear, doubt, negativity and uncertainty. To them their own path and to you your own. Do not force yourself to believe what you honestly do not and cannot believe. Do not try to wear old clothing that you have long since outgrown. Find your faith. Find your confidence and pursue that. Find your center and you will find true faith, confidence, peace and strength. Focus on yourself. Let others be.
Transform your attitude, feeling and thinking. Transform your life. Attitude manifests in your actions. Your practical actions will uplift, transform and improve your attitude and prospects.
Confidence and effort are the two wings that working together will take us to prosperity, honor, joy and fulfillment. We will fly and soar above all mediocrity, dissatisfaction, nonsense and lack. Stand alone if you must but be true to yourself and have no fear. Do nothing with a half heart. If you cannot suscribe to something and if you cannot pursue something will all of your heart and with the blessings of your conscience then no nothing. Suscribe to and pursue only that which enjoys the support of your conscience and that you can put your heart completely into it.
If you want to be happy, truly free and fulfilled then you must learn the lesson that you cannot live your life and base your life on the conscience and beliefs of others. You must base your life, you must live YOUR LIFE and make decisions for yourself based on YOUR OWN conscience, true conviction and belief. Do not trap yourself. Do not allow anyone to trap you. Feel free to make as many changes and adjustments in your life as YOU feel are necessary.
Live YOUR life fully. Respect others and let them live their own lives. Direct your own life, and peace, joy, self-reliance and self-respect will be yours. Respect yourself and so will others. The courageous and true will always triumph. The courageous and true will always prosper and abide in peace and contentment. The herd mentality will ruin, frustrate and limit you. Transcend the herd mentality. Transcend the insecurity and fear. Rise above all the nonsense, hypocrisy and mediocrity. Stand alone if you must. Think for yourself. Find your happiness and fulfillment, and allow no one to take it away from you. Realize your destiny because you can. You have been created for great and wonderful things. You were not created to be like everyone else, to think like everyone else and/or to do things like everyone else. You were created to be original and uniquely creative to bring something fresh, new, useful and astounding to this world.
Think these things over and be blessed.
