WHAT DO YOU WANT THE MOST?

Is It Money, Happiness, Peace of Mind, Power, Healthy Relationship, Contentment?

 

Before I even start writing, I wanted you to ask yourself a simple question – “Do you know how to achieve peace” ….? I believe everyone knows what Peace is and how to achieve them, but I know you all hardly try to do it until something happened and require you to change. Practicing peace is like brushing your teeth, you need to do it every day to see the progress. You just need to keep on practicing it until one day, you’ll realize it is something that you don’t need the motivation to do just like brushing teeth and then it will blow your mind. In this book, I’m just going to write, in my opinion, the easiest and simplest things you need to do in your daily life.

Living in The Present

 

The first thing you need to do or the very beginning of the peace that you need to start act on is to control the way you mind. Sound simple right, but it is a lot harder than you think. Just do it yourself by trying to not think of anything in your mind with your eye closed and see how long you can last. In the modern days, we are so occupied by the way we live we lose the sense of living in the present. Our mind is always filled with thoughts, repetitively thinking about life. When was the last time you take your time and look at the things around us? Start by it doing now. When you slow down, you will realize that the world is actually a lovely place

You see, the universe has created every living thing on earth, unique like no other. The universe created the globe not only for us to live in but also appreciate the things around us. When you start enjoying the little things that happened around us, the world suddenly becomes terrific, you will feel the energy you never felt before. You will become happier than ever. You will feel contentment, you are surrounded by many beautiful things. When you start to admire the beauty of others just like sunset or sunrise, you know that you are currently in peace because you are living in the present and that was the time you will notice the things around you. That’s why we often felt so happy when we are with our significant other because, at that time you are living in the moment, your mind is not thinking of anything. Just imagine, wouldn’t it be great if you felt like this every day.

“If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present” – Lao Tzu

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spread Kindness

 

One of the simplest ways to be happy and see peace for yourself is to be kind and helps others. If you can make someone smile, keep it because it is a precious gift that this world needs the most. It is a gift that many can learn and but can’t perform. Trust me when I tell you that making a stranger genuinely smile felt more so different than making someone you knew to smile. I am not saying making someone you knew smiles weren’t as important as making a stranger smile. Just so you know if you can do that you are a whole new badass level. That requires a lot of confidence and skill. It might sound confusing but it’s not. Just doing something as simple as holding the door for the person behind you, saying good morning to your neighbor, saying thank you/ appreciate your hard work, can make all of them smile. It’s simple, but not everyone will do it or even try to.

People are like a mirror; you reflect what you feel and what you did. Not convince yet? Try to smile when you meet people and see if they do the same. Do not ever think of everyone got motive or they are hiding something, society taught you that but not here. We don’t judge a book by its cover because someone you meet tomorrow might have a better intention that someone you satisfied for years. We don’t know what people's purpose is, so let’s not presumably accuse someone else as you also don’t want to accuse you of something you’re not.

Instead, treat everyone the same kindness you would give to your friend or someone important to you. Don’t ever worry if they are going to do the same because it was always about you, not them. Don’t have an expectation and don’t expect something for return because let’s be honest; you will undoubtedly be disappointed. The reason being you are not being you, it’s not your real self so never ever do that.

Stay kind. It makes you beautiful – Najwa Zebian

 

 

 

 

Learn to Let Go

Just a reminder, you can never change what has happened in the past. Overthinking and keep on stressing about the problem isn’t going to help either. What you can do is just accept the fact that it already happens and move on. Change your attitude and the ego that is holding you back as those are your worst enemies. Who you are in the past cannot be defined by who you are in the present, the same goes for others as well. People change, and they change for their own good.

The idea of letting go is difficult…. if you are still being a pessimist and being blinded by the past. “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light” – Albus Dumbledore. Optimistic start from within, improvement starts from within, positivity begins from within. You are 100% responsible for the changes in your own good.

By letting go, it means that you will only hold on to the things that are good for you. Negative comments, hateful thoughts, judging people should never come into your mind. Remember this: whenever someone or something puts you in a bad situation, just give yourself some time, take a deep breath, calm down your mind and let it go. If you, however, react to the same energy in that situation, you will only feel more irritated, furious, annoyed and frustrated. You are basically just using that energy to punish yourself.

“If you want to fly in the sky, you need to leave the earth. If you want to move forward, you need to let go of the past that drags you down.” – Amit Ray

Discipline

 

In the end, it was always about you. As I said, it is your life, your responsibility. You could take all the advice that will help you, but if you are not listening, you are not going anywhere. You could learn all the methods that can make you a better person but if you aren’t implementing it, you are going to stay the same no matter how hard you try. Truth is we can never protect someone who doesn’t want to save themselves.

Action speaks louder than words, is it loud or quiet, you decide.

If you are determined to improve yourself, then educate yourself consistently. If you want a better life, then start doing things that will make your experience better always. If you want a good body, then go to the gym. BE PERSISTENT, BE DISCIPLINE. You can’t sit there and expect things are going to work out themselves. You need to take the matter into your own hands. You need to be persistent and keep on trying and trying no matter how hard it is because of your matter, you are loved, and you are fantastic.

I BELIEVE IN YOU, and I WISH YOU THE BEST.
