Just do it

 

The world is full of events, so that we had to expect them anywhere and anytime as a result all we should truly do is to blissfully take the courage and actions. In other words, just do it literally means to catch every chance we could meet in that life without hesitating as when we are really courageous we may achieve all what we desire rapidly and easily. Taking that courage and just do things that feel right requires completely our full awareness about how much we will be proud of ourselves when doing the right things, we were never being able to do in the past. The fact of being aware leads us certainly to arm our chances. For instance, if someday we stick in a situation where we had to talk to the responsible and expressing all what we feel without getting fearful, that need to be done as it feels inside of you that it is the right thing to do in order to solve whatever the problem you were facing or to solve yourself from the bad situation you were in, even if we feel that we don’t like it.

That is, when we feel that the thing we are going to do feels right, therefore we should do it even if our emotions try to stop us.

Responsibility

 

 Responsibility, a heavy word with deep meaning as when someone who truly calls himself responsible means that he awfully has all the characteristics of it. To be responsible means to do all your best and never expecting something back because everything comes as long as you truly feel this word on you”. In other words, when taking firmly responsibility, all the rest will come back to you as a reward without getting attached to or expecting a lot. When a person is responsible he can be that one who people count on him in all corners of life as those specific persons are attractive , charismatics and are literally powerful for their only goals is to be loyal to what was given to them to do or even there’s another category of persons who were born with that sense of responsibility , they take it by their own and they didn’t wait anything from anyone so that they are completely responsible about their acts , their jobs , the works were ordered to do. That is to say, they have that sense of commitment and they never feel comfortable when there’s a lack of accomplishment in their life. Therefore, just be responsible about what you are doing and what you have done so that feeling your freedom and strength inside of you each moment you truly take whatever sort of responsibility needed to be taken.

Make your Impact

 Human being does really want to prove himself in whatever he is able or specialized to however sometimes he may face some difficulties that they push him to give up on thing he truly wants. However, what does works here is to have enough awareness and courage to push him out of his comfort zone and begin working on things he desires as the time when our life works is the time when we jump out our comfort zone and starting chasing our goals. Courage comes from our thoughts so that when knowing exactly what is going on our brain and managing those thoughts carefully we will certainly have that sort of courage we need to create our dreams, goals and desires because those thoughts affect the actions we take during our life. In other words, when we control our thoughts and try to switch them always to positive ones and decide to follow specific beliefs, that time we get our courage to make the push so that going forwards those goals. We need to make our impact, we are real and we do exist for reasons, and the core reason we all go towards is to serve others.

Think about your present moment

 

The present moment is all what we have over our hands so that thinking whether about our past or our future is a big mistake. That is, when still living in our past and worrying about it means that we are completely focusing the energy we own to that moment and therefore we are about to lose ourselves because thinking about the past and guiding our thoughts to this sort of thinking makes us ignoring the present moment and what we should do for our future. The now is crucial for painting best future so that being aware of living strongly that moment and doing our best to build the future we have always dreamed of is totally important. Plus, dedicating all our feelings and thoughts for the right moment turn out the way we live as when being truly aware about what we are living and about any moment could happen to us lead us to forget all what we have gone through all the day or even all the previous days or years. For instance, playing with kids with all your feelings without thinking about anything makes you delighted and living in another world, the world of Now and nothing else.

There are different ways to heal ourselves for instance practicing yoga, a beneficial method to get rid of all what concerns the outside world and just staying in peace with our thoughts in a way that permits us to easily controlling them and be aware about all what is going on into our brain because being awakening about those thoughts is totally crucial to be in a real peace as when we control them we are certainly leading our life to the best.

A person in which he is awfully soft and pure from anything that can easily turn him into someone cruel however he couldn’t be turned out as he is straight and believer of himself and precisely he is proud of his soul, a soul full of love, peace, generosity and hope. He is always trying to send as much positivity as he can to everyone he may face in his life for he believes that happiness is when making someone else happy. As human being we may suffer sometimes from anger, anxiety and stress however that pure person never lets those things control him or affect the person he is, therefore whatever happens in the outside world doesn’t affect as long as he didn’t give permission because all what it can touches or hurt the human being it can only through his own permission however few people can achieve that point of awareness as it needs time, lot of wisdom. In other words, that sort of persons can absolutely not be influenced by what happens in the outside world only if they do permit that to happen as they have their own beliefs, thoughts, feelings and thinking in which neither circumstances nor persons can affect them by any means so that the person who is truly pure from the inside can never be turned into someone else, someone bad. He may surely learn through his experiences in order to be wiser and quitter not cruel, that’s what does really mean a pure and kindhearted person. All in all, be always that person who is always kind, soft, lovely and most importantly shine with his brightness of love, forgiveness and peace.

For instance, when someone hurts you, instead of reacting aggressively you only try to put yourself in his shoes and understand why he has done this that you react wisely with the situation, totally far from worry, stress and hate. That the core of maturity, the understanding and calmness. Maturity is not about age, it is about how much experiences you have gone through and how many lessons you have caught from them that they growing you up and take you to the level of awareness and maturity, so that experiences are certainly essential in every one’s path because they are the real teacher that gives you the core lessons that follow you your whole life and push you to the best version of you.
