BE HAPPY IF YOU LEARNED A LESSON

All of your decisions were right, you can take any path because every path is the right path, every action is the right action. For as long as your intentions is right... you are right.

Don't worry if you think you've made a wrong decision because it is not the decisions itself that is important, it is if you've learned something from it. And the truth is... you can always learn from something if you will appreciate what happened to you and if you will always look at the bright side.

So if you bought a third hand car that you are doubtful from the start if it will work for a long time then suddenly one day its machine break down... don't ever regret your decision of buying it. Your friends and family are giving you an advise before to not buy it yet you bought it because you really want it. Never regret your decision because at least you know next time that it is bad to buy a third hand car. Well, at least you learned a lesson. And if you are curious enough to study the parts of your car and learn how to fix it then it is a double lesson for you. You already knew how to fix a car, isn't that amazing?

If you fail at something because it is a big risk, and again your friends and family are telling you before to not take that path but you still take it because yo feel something good about it... Never mind if you fail, at least you take the risk and you also learn some lesson. You know now that not all the time you take risk you will be rewarded. But don't be afraid to take risks again next time because you already knew what to do and for sure you will succeed again next time.

If you fail, never forget to chat down the lesson because that is what failing is all about. It is not there to demoralized you, it is not there to make you feel bad, it is there to make you smarter, it is there to make you grow so you will know be ready to face anything next time.

IF YOU CAN STILL WALK THEN YOU CAN STILL WORK

The rule is this... if you can still walk then you can still work, legs is the barometer of your strength, if you can still use it then it means you are still strong and you need to move if you don't want to get weak or die early. You need to stay active and keep moving. Don't just sit there and wait for your pension every month. You still have a lot of time, you can still do anything you want. And that is the beauty of life, you can make it long, you can extend it if you are doing the right thing.

Don't beg in the street and ask for money because you think you are too old. You can find a way, you can still offer the world some service that you know. Stop acting like you're weak and you're already slow. Stop excusing yourself from doing the work because you are still capable.

Join some marathon or any activity that will make you stronger, organize some events that will give you progress and happiness. It's never too late for you to be happy. If you are always active then you will never get rusty and weak. It's all about movement and taking positive actions, you can still grow even if you were already old.

I've known a lot of old people who still look like an animal and work like an animal even in their late 80's. These people knew the secret of how to become healthy and strong. They keep themselves active and sharp. They never rest, they are living their life to the fullest, they don't want to miss anything.

Just always stay busy and commit to growth, that is the secret of making your life stronger and longer. Pursue a different passion, try a lot of things that will give you abundance and happiness. It's never too late to experiment with your life, you can still try anything and be anything. Don't be afraid of what people say, be afraid of the regret that you will feel in the end once you can't move anymore.

ADVANCE THE PAIN DON'T DELAY IT

Face the pain now, don't delay it. You have to face  the discomfort now and embrace it until it's gone. Because if you will face it later, if you will always delay it.. the pain will become stronger and harder to endure.

Face the pain of training hard now and doing all the hard stuffs because if you will go soft and lazy today, your opponents in the competition will dominate you and that is even painful. So face it and don't delay it.

Face the pain of dieting now and making your healthy body because if you will not do it, it will become even painful later. You will get sick, you will become overweight and that is more painful.

Face the pain of working hard now and saving money because if you will not do it... you will become broke one day and that is even painful.

Face the pain of eating your ego and say sorry to someone you've done wrong because you will feel more pain in the end if your relationship with that person is breaking.

The truth is you will still face the pain no matter what, it is better to advance it than to delay it. Because if you will advance it... there will be rewards but if you delay it... you will have punishment and sanctions. So it is better to advance the pain, it is only temporary, you can feel better later.

People who aren't to afraid to face the pain are the ones who are disciplined, successful, healthy and have a more balanced life. They simply do what is needed to be done. They face discomfort because they knew they will get benefits from it.

So you better check yourself if you are delaying the pain because if you are doing so then your life will become more difficult in the end. Once you have a responsibility to do... do it.

EASY PATH IS THE HARDER PATH

If you think that wishing for an easier path is the best thing to do... you better think again. Wanting an easy route and easy life will make your life even harder. You will become dependent, you will always ask for help, you will never accomplish things on your own and you will become a whiner and excuse maker, in other words... you will become very soft. Soft as a jelly, softer than a cotton candy.

If you're so used to having an easy life then you will have a very difficult life in the end. It is because once your support is cut, once there is no more person to help you... you're in big trouble my friend. You wouldn't know what to do, you will be afraid because you don't win any battles in life in your own from the past.

Don't wish for an easy life because you will never experience the real life if you didn't experience any hardship. The real you will be revealed through pain and adversity. You will know how strong, tough and durable you are once life hit you with its hurtful jokes.

A lot of people who were born rich and everything handed to them were having a difficult time adjusting in life when they don't have those riches anymore. They were already poor but they were still acting like they have a lot of money, they want soft pillow, delicious food, nice cars and clothes but the sad thing is they can't have those things anymore.

So if you want to succeed in life but you don't want to suffer... you are being delusional. You have to wake up and face the pain, face the work that is needed to be done before you become successful. There are lot of work waiting but you can finish it all if you are willing to move and force yourself to taking actions. Do it one by one, you can go very far if you are very patient and just simply enjoying the journey.

All people who are wishing for an easy path are just followers. They are the slaves of politicians, extra character in a movie, gold diggers, unemployed and any other jobs that are not difficult but will earn money. They can't make it big because they don't have the courage to pursue big dreams. All easy path has no big rewards, it will only give you temporary happiness.

Because if you are doing easy things, your life will be hard in the end. Easy things will never produce great things, it is only a temporary fix, it is only a small success.

PARENTS WANTS WHAT IS SAFE FOR YOU NOT WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU

Not all but most parents wants to give his child comfort. They don't want their children to get hurt that is why they choose what is safe for their children. Don't blame them if they are stopping you from getting your dreams. They will break your heart because they don't want to break theirs. They don't want to see you in pain or bleeding. They always want what is easier for you, they want to make sure that you will do good in life. But settling for good means not great.

If you want to become a fighter, let's say a boxer or an MMA fighter, of course your parents will get mad and will stop you from doing that. While some parents will support their children but majority of them will not, especially if you are chasing a wild dream that is very dangerous and might take away your life. Don't get mad at your parents, they just don't want to see you in pain or getting sucker punched by someone, they don't want you to lose.

The best thing to do is to give them an assurance that you are doing well, finish your studies. Settle for something safe and then pursue dangerous dreams. What I mean by that is show them that you have a stable job and everything in your life has been taken care of then continue doing what you really want, chase your true dreams, follow your heart. If you really want it then you can do it. Not having time is just an excuse, you have a lot of time if you will use your time for useful things.

Parents want to see you in a very secured and stable place that is why they are acting like they don't support you. Don't feel sorry and never get angry at them. They are not stopping you from getting your dreams, they just want you to pursue a safer dream.

BENEFITS OF NOT GETTING WHAT YOU WANT

Not getting what you want doesn't mean you are unfortunate and you have to feel bad. Not getting what you want will give you a lot of advantages in life. You will discover some perspective, you will get benefits that you don't know is there.

If you are requesting for an extra mayonnaise or ketchup in a quick service restaurant and suddenly the waiter told you that they don't have anymore, of course your initial reaction is you will get mad. Why in the hell does a quick service restaurant doesn't have any ketchup at all? but keep it cool, you're mad but always look at the brighter side of life. You all know that ketchup and mayonnaise is not healthy and it will only make your belly thicker. So not getting it will prevent you a little bit of adding some weight in your fat ass. Not getting it still has some benefits so be happy if you didn't get it.

You are working for a big goal, you really work hard for it, you give time, you burn your eyebrows, you endure sleepless nights but you still didn't succeed. It's ok, don't feel sad because you still get some benefits for failing. You are still hungry and you will still work hard, you are even hungrier than before which is a good thing because next time you will surely succeed. A lot of people who already succeeded were not hungry anymore, they become lazy so they go back being a failure again. If you didn't succeed now... it means better things are waiting for you.

If you can't buy what you want because you're only poor and you don't have money to buy things... don't worry again. That will make you motivated to work harder and reach for your dreams. That lack of something will make you work like hell, it will give you a different mindset, you will grab any opportunity that is presented to you. You will not entertain second thoughts, you will just grab it and make your life better than before.

If you are not getting what you want, you are training yourself for delayed gratification. It means you are willing to endure and sacrifice for bigger things. You are willing to wait, you are willing to accept what is present and make your future brighter.

HOW TO BEAT ANGER

Being controlled by anger will put you in a terrible position, you will make decisions that you will regret forever in your life. You will speak words that you will be ashamed of. If you move while angry then for sure you will not like the results. Some people were put into jail because they made a terrible mistake, they let their anger get the best of them.

The only way to beat anger is to know that you are angry, you must always be aware of your emotions. You must know that anger will not help and it will only put you in a very ugly spot. If you're a hot headed person then for sure you have a lot of enemies or a lot of people don't like you. I know sometimes you didn't mean what you said or did but using anger as an excuse is a sign of an immature person.

Some people doesn't even know that they are angry when they're angry. They just ride into their emotions and become a wild beast. And when they calm down, they will tell everyone that they don't know what is happening, that they just did some terrible mistakes because they were controlled by anger.

You can stop anger the moment you feel it, and when you are aware that you are angry... think deeply, is it really a big deal? is your life going to change when you got angry? are you going to die if you didn't burst in anger? is the issue going to be solved once you shout at people or you berserk like a wild animal? You only have the right to become angry when it's  very obvious that people disrespected you or your family but if it is only about small things then just let it go because there are more important things that you should be focusing.

Keep in mind that anger will only ruin your day or your life. You will always be the loser if you get mad at small things, you can let it go if you will only focus on the better and bigger things in life.

THE ONLY PERSON YOU MUST PLEASE

All of you were addicted to pleasing people, you want to look good, you want to make others feel good. You want to be appreciated and you always seek for people's approval which is a very bad thing. If you will always try to please the people around you, you will never become happy. All of your actions were based on their principles and demands. You will lost freedom and confidence in yourself. You will become a fake individual with good intentions.

There is only one person that you must please and that is the person that is closest to you. It can be your mom, dad, sister, brother or best friend. Because that person will accept you in your worst times, he will never leave you nor feel ashamed of you once you fail. Some people are only good if you are winning, some people will only stay at your side if they are getting something from you so you better be careful who to please.

Because the closest person to you will never leave you even if you are not doing well anymore, he will always guide you and help you no matter what. He will be loyal to you and will stay with you in hunger or in abundance. He has a genuine care for you and will always wish nothing but the best for you.

If you are pleasing a lot of people then it means you are weak, it means you want to prove something which is not necessary, it means you don't know who you really are because your happiness is based on people's reactions and appreciations. What if they don't like you anymore? what if they were not interested at you anymore? how would you feel?

So please only the person who will stay with you forever and will sacrifice for you. That person is worth it and you can count on him during tough times.

THE POWER OF BEING BUSY

If you want to have a lot of power in life, if you want to take control of your emotions and situations... stay busy. If you are busy no one can disturb you. But of course you have to choose the things that you will be busy about. You can't be busy on negative things because it will only make you life even miserable, be busy in something that will make you better and your life better. Be busy in something productive and will give you benefits. Be busy in something that will give you money or something that will make you grow.

There are lot of things were you can be busy about, it can be about arts, business, exercise or even simple things like meditation and cleaning your house. Anything that you enjoy doing and will give you peace, it is a good thing.

If you are so busy working and making yourself better, you will not even know the negative news around you, you will not know the latest gossips, crimes etc. You will have a peace of mind, you will forget the problems of the world. You will forget recession, economic problems, price increase of products, government and any other things that will only give you a headache. You will be happier, you will only experience stress very little and that is a healthy stress because it comes from your work or project.

If you are busy improving yourself, you will even forget your enemies and the people who hurt you. It's not that you are isolating yourself, you just don't have time for any bullshits because you are enjoying yourself too much, you are having a bliss, some kind of a trance that nobody can understand other than you.

If you are busy you will know more about yourself, you will know how good you are and what are your capabilities, you will discover a lot from yourself that you thought never exist. You will experience happiness that you never felt before.

WHEN THE WILL IS SO STRONG, CIRCUMSTANCES DOESN'T MATTER

If you have a strong will then you don't care anymore if your situation is bad or not. You will just do what you wanted to do and get what you wanted to achieve, as simple as that. It doesn't matter if you are right or wrong, it doesn't matter if there are lot of distraction or disturbance around you. It doesn't matter if you are suffering a lot, if you have a strong will then it's game over... you already won. You just need to keep going and wait until you win.

Will is powerful, it can make the impossible possible, it can produce unbelievable moments. It can make the sea dry, it can make the clouds disappear. It can make the wrong correct, it can break any rules and make the expert look like an amateur.

So even if you feel bad or something is aching in your body, you will just take actions, pain doesn't count. All you see is results and momentum, and even if there is no momentum, you will still do it.

If you're just a newbie in something and you don't know what to do... don't check your knowledge nor your situation, check your if your will is strong and if you are really determined to get it because if not... just pack your bags and cry back home, you don't have any chance if you have a weak will power.

If you have a strong will power, you will not even question yourself, you will not listen to what naysayers say, you will defy odds and make everything look like their nothing. All you value is your goal and the things you wanted to happen. Your focus cannot be broken, you have this gut that is very powerful and your body language never changes even if adversity strikes your life.
