How To Take Control of Your Life

1. Seek More Knowledge.

2. Ask for Advice. Advice can Lead To Ideas, To Solutions, To Opportunities.

3. Get the Right Training.

4. Find Someone to Apprentice Yourself To.  Work for free, if you know the apprenticeship will pay off.

5. Look for Opportunities to Prove You Are Responsible.

6. Set Yourself Goals.  Daily Goals like Walk 30 Minutes Every Day. Or Weekly Goals Like Go To The Gym 3 Times a Week.  Or Monthly Goals like Lose 2 lbs a month.  Or Annual Goals like lose 20 lbs in one year.

7. Demonstrate You Can Solve Problems.  Be Interested In Every Problem, Even if It Is Not In Your Area of Interest.

8. List Your Priorities.  Look at the List Every Day.

9. Do Things Outside Your Comfort Zone.  If You Are Scared Of Attempting Something – A Speech, An Article, A New Activity, Entering a Competition, Do It.  You Never Know What It Could Lead To.

10. Stop Finding Excuses for The Status Quo. Investing In The Status Quo is Not Necessarily a Good Investment.

11. Identify The Life Skills and Areas In Which You Are Clueless, and Think About How You Can Close That Gap.

12. Become More Self-Sufficient.  Learn Essential Skills like Driving, Cooking, Doing Your Taxes, Installing Things, Fixing Things.

13. Learn to Evaluate Your Decisions, and Learn to Make a Case For Your Decisions.

14. Avoid Situations That Could Become Problematic.

15. Stop Manipulating Your Way Out of Problems.

16. Know Your Limits.

17. Make a Budget and Stick to It.

18. Stop Gaming the System to Get By.  Eventually, You Will Run Into Obstacles.

19. Understand Setbacks Are Temporary.  You Can Make a Setback Worse By Prolonging Your Response to It, Instead Of Getting On With Your Life.

20. Put One Foot In Front of The Other Until You Have Taken Control Of Your Life.

YOU CAN DO IT.

The Path to Freedom

Not everything lost has to be replaced, recouped or recovered.

Not everything misplaced has to be found.

Not everything broken has to be made whole.

Not every expectation has to be met.

Not every minute has to be accounted for.

Not every comparison has to be made.

Not every facade and pretense has to be maintained.

Not every move has to be countered.

Not very pet peeve or frustration has to be acted upon.

Not every insult has to be reacted to.

Not every situation has to be analyzed.

Not every wave has to be ridden.

Not every pleasure has to be pursued.

Not every vulnerability has to be fixed.

Not every threat has to be met.

Not every itch has to be scratched.

Discover the Path to Freedom.  

Unburden your spirit...until it feels as light as a kite.

The Element of Understanding How We Feel and Think is Not Going to Be How We Will Always Feel and Think

Quotes to inspire you:

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. Albert Camus, winner Nobel Prize for Literature, 1957.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds! Marcus Garvey, Civil Rights Activist.

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. Jim Morrison, iconic rock musician, The Doors.

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. Viktor E. Frankl, Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist, Holocaust survivor.

How To Deal With Frustrated Desires – 20 Time Tested and Experience Proven Ideas

1.     Be happy with how much progress you have made. Accept that achievement is not instantaneous. The important thing is you have put things in motion.

2.     Continue to be quietly assertive. Big goals, big ideas may require that.

3.     Celebrate the process –enjoy the adventure and the challenges; think about the knowledge and wisdom gained. Plateau is followed by breakthrough, breakthrough is followed by plateau. This is a well-recognized pattern. Let the current plateau get you excited about breaking through to a new level.

4.     Use your imagination. Imagination is a powerful tool for dealing with frustrated desires. We never use it enough.

5.     Stay positive and hopeful – understand it may just take more time than you thought. The important thing is you are building on your success.

6.     Take a break - focus on something else for a while.  Pauses often lead to breakthroughs.

7.     Look at the problem from a different angle – you may be missing something.

8.     Try new tactics and strategies.  There may be another way to get there.

9.     Ask for advice.  Someone else may have the answer.

10.  Partner with someone, or if you are already partnered with someone, bring in new resources.

11.  Pass on the baton. Someone else may be better positioned, or better equipped, to make your desire a reality.

12.  Take a step back.  Ask yourself, what will happen if the goal is not reached.  What would have been gained?  What would have been lost?

13.  Move on to the next great adventure - desires are usually replaceable and interchangeable.

14.  Re-examine your motives.  Why is this desire important to you?

15.  Break up the desire.  Smaller desires are more easily achieved.

16.  Develop emotional skills. Patience, tolerance and flexibility will often get you further than strategy and tactics alone.

17.  Become spiritual about it – understand the desire may not be for this moment, or may not be for you.

18.  If the desire is based on expectations connected with other people, become more empathetic, become a better leader and motivator of others.  Find out what you are doing wrong.

19.  Believe in yourself and persist.  Even if everyone has stopped believing in you, or what you want to do, you should not stop believing in yourself. Take inspiration from people who persisted over a long period of time to achieve their goals. Find ways to keep yourself going. Be persnickety persistent.

20.  If everything else fails, transcend the desire.  The more desires you are able to transcend, the happier you will be. Meditation may be one way to do that.

As always, thanks for reading, and have a great day and week. Thanks to Ajay and Shiva for their compliments and comments on my last post, and thanks to the rest of you for your likes, pins, tweets and votes.  Much appreciated.
