What we harbor in mind directly influence how we think, how we act or react. Languages and tradition does not only describe our nature or reality, it also models it.
There's a psychological difference in saying "I have to work" and saying "I'm going to work today" the former makes it sounds like an obligation or a contacted factor while the latter gives me the feeling of choice and purpose and a bit of responsibility.
What we say directly influences how we think, feel and act. Language not only describes our reality, it also constructs it. Saying ”I have to work" sounds like an obligation and can generate resistance, while saying "I'm going to work today” gives us back the feeling of a choice and purpose.
Changing and organizing my words has been of great impact on my aspiration and well-being. This is a process of training and selection of what the mind digest and speak either to myself or other with more intention and kindness.
There are periods we want to turn the pages of our life in a hurry so we can stay to live rent free in their mind, especially when that chapter is of intense happiness and memorable, but then how would I recognize the bright path if I had never walked through the shadows?
Every pages either the difficult pages or easy pages most especially the difficult pages adverse things, it has left me traces that have shaped me for life, this was made possible because I wanted to be expose quicker and when I look back I understood that I would not be who I am today if I had lived predators lifestyle. Every page is worth it, I mean when it gets tough I knew it was a temporary phenomenon nit natural so I made sure not to eliminate my dreams and aspiration.
It is of importance that every single human should pass through some certain difficulties as a part of discipline or structural stamina of the mind.
The predators of dreams always hunts, it always feeds on fear, self doubt and uncertainty. Immediately there is a glimpse of these factors present in the mind, it feast and dwells in the host. If I can wrestle the negative instincts and create a focus mindset towards my dreams, I don't think any Jupiter would deny that.
I have always stated that to deny change is to deny intelligence. It is important that adapting to change is not just a skill but a path to success. We adapt to change due to us humans are create to be dynamic in nature. Fluctuating is not being dynamic and being dynamic. is not fluctuation, I see fluctuating as procrastination.
So at any phase the change sets in, be ready to flow with it, set aside that thoughts of limitations or doubt because all of it are influence by the predator of dreams.
In summary, I had been living a life of purpose but without planning it. I am an intuitive individual but I'm driven by the zeal and conviction to build my own legacy and yes that's how fulfillment and achievement are really made. That aspect of " planning " is very much vital.
Make sure you wrestle that predator of dreams, so your dreams will become reality.
