2015 Lesson's For Great Minds by Sanbuchi: 4:50pm On Dec 25, 2014 |
1. Realizing Your Dreams “If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll end up someplace else.” – Laurence J. Peter If we have a clear vision of our goals in front of us, then we are more likely to achieve them. Setting goals for ourselves may seem easy while achieving them is a greater task, but Lawrence J. Peter reminds us with this statement that if we set our goals into measurable actions then we will gain clarity, which will allow us to take the necessary steps into turning those dreams into a reality 2. Overcoming Fear “It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person – Always do what you are afraid to do.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson The best way to learn something, or indeed to overcome fear, is to tackle it head on by diving into the deep end right away. Fear is the one thing that can prevent us from finding love, happiness or a life of fulfillment. If we make a commitment to ourselves to overcome our fears by challenging them, then our fears should disappear. 3. Intention and Desire "All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.”- Gautama Buddha Our thoughts can determine who we are and who we will become. If we focus our thoughts on what we want rather than we don’t want, then our lives have more of a chance at transforming for the better. Instead of working against our intentions and desires we should concentrate on moving into alignment with them. 4. Happiness “Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances.” – Benjamin Franklin Happiness comes from within us and not from external status. If we have an inner peace, an acceptance and understanding of our life then we will discover true happiness. Try to realize that happiness is a choice. 5. Self-Acceptance “If a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” – Jesus In order to find self-acceptance we have to stop trying to be what we are not. That way we will realize our authenticity. Many of us have an image in our minds of perfection and try to be the people we want others to see. By doing this though we will confuse ourselves and eventually we will believe in the lie of imperfection. The sooner we realize this, the sooner we will find acceptance of who we are and be able to live a content life. 6. Appreciation and Gratitude “So much has been given to me, I have not time to ponder over that which has been denied.” – Helen Keller Sometimes we spend so long pondering over our misfortunes and wallowing in self-pity that we forget to count our blessings and be grateful for what we have. When we take time to open our eyes to the miracle of life we can see the many gifts that have been given to us. Doing this is a sure way of altering a mood to a more positive one. 7. The Art of Simplicity “I made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it short.” – Blaise Pascal Perfection is not when there is nothing to add, but when there is nothing more to take away. The true way of mastering our lives is realizing that the most cherishable things are the most simple joys of life, rather than the material objects and other such distractions.
