SIX ESSENTIAL TOOLS FOR EXCITING LIFE

Our decision to keep focus and consistent all through the process moves us closer to the things that really satisfies our desires, which makes us happy. This joy anyone can derive from life, considering these imperative tools below.

MIND CONTROL

It is Imperative to be completely in control of our thoughts; what we do, what we think and how we respond to things. When it comes to being happy, our state of mind determines it through what comes out as our thought, either positive or negative. What goes on in the mind determines our level of joy and motivation in life. Whenever we feel pleasurable or satisfied our thoughts are always positive. On the other hand, the thought of anger, grudge, jealousy, fear, failure and bitterness are generated from the negativity of our consciousness. For many these negative parts take priority over their mind which can cause incredible damage that can lead to sadness, regret or pain. This negative thought continuously when conceived, can damage ones productivity, ability to think well and willpower to move on. It can as well hold anyone back from achieving all sort of great things. These thoughts; “positive or negative” are like voices, they talk to us each time, either to encourage us to do something or discourage us to shy away. The good news is, you can take full charge of them. You can determine what to listen to, how you act or decide. What to do or things to consider by taking control over those voices. Some of these voices come to us when we held of something, when we see things or when we think of something and this can have a great effect on our emotional health. So, in order to be constantly happy there is need to control our mind and what comes out of it. Learning to master our own mind and not allowing the mind to control us is really very essential to living a happy and fulfilled life. If we master our mind in totality we will be able to subdue all the negative thoughts that can emanate from it. Mind control takes time and requires great commitment to achieve. You must accept the responsibility of your actions and thought. You must as a matter of fact monitor what you serve the mind as thought. You have to be selective to the things you see or hear, because they have very great influence on your thought. If anyone must be happy, there should be great tendency to think about positive things and allow it to have dominance in the mind. Positive thought create the room for great and better things to happen. It is very difficult to win when your mind conceive failure. It’s not easy to confront when one is overwhelm with fears. It’s very challenging to smile when one is crying bitterly. What we think often times determines how we feel. To feel happy and exciting we have to allow the positive thought to dominant our minds in order for us to live a fulfilled life.

SELF DISCIPLINE

The essence of time management, personal management and setting priorities is to become more productive, focused and goal oriented, this is achievable through discipline of self. Planning and organizing is the most powerful and an integral part of self-discipline. One of the greatest benefits of self-discipline is self-freedom. A lot of people, through their wicked verses try everything within their power to enslave others. But you know what; no one can enslave you without your conceptual inclusiveness. With self-discipline and keen observation you can understand their intentions and where they are driving no matter how shady they appear. Discipline is achieved through practice and repetition of concise plans for it to be fully enforced. Our area of discipline becomes our habit automatically with time. The good news is that; discipline can be learned. It’s possible to be awkward today and be fine tone tomorrow, it’s all about choice. Our choice and what really grows our emotional health are the keys areas we concentrate our effort to be disciplined on. Everybody have their weakness; some became victims through loving the wrong people, some are victimized by their sight, some by their emotions, some by their thoughts, some by their environment etcetera. But by enforcing discipline, we can unfold the ties and get things well on form and kick start in the right directions living above those constraints. Through constant practice and enforcing some character change into self-attitude, we can become anew, living above those constraints and limitation set against us due to lack of discipline. Discipline is done in the subconscious mind through programming the mind to suit our needed attitudes and activities that enriches us. It daily practice can be so rewarding if one is mindful of its consistency and applications in our lives. Discipline is beneficial and enables us to work single minded towards any decision or plans. Discipline helps to follow plans to its conclusive end without wavering. It contributes greatly to our success and development against all odds. Every object on motion or any moving object push through gravity. Gravitational forces are everywhere working against man's focus and determination but with discipline we will come on top strong. Success is not in absent of challenges, it only survive through self-discipline. Discipline is light to invention and greatness.

COMPASSION AND DESIRE TO HELP OTHERS

When we are emotionally connected to others we avail ourselves the opportunity to see through their circumstance, and the gesture enables us to tap into our higher level of selves; reasoning through their situation helps us to gain wisdom and knowledge that can enable us proffers lasting solutions. The most reliable way to sustained happiness is working for the happiness of others; be it in a group, in any community or organization, with friends and family or even through assisting a stranger. As human we co-exist, we need each other, as each other need all of us. We cannot be absolutely happy in the vacuum of this world alone. The world will look more of a vacuum, if we deny ourselves the rare privilege to appreciate one another. Being compassionate towards others provides the privilege to understand more of their situation than they do. It’s like a game; fans see more than the players. They see more mistakes than those on the pitch of play. The reason is simple; The fan is passionate about his team and he gave the game an undivided attention that enable him see through the game even more than the players on pitch. He can carefully narrate the game and as well proffer reasonable solution to win. For a compassionate person, because he is not directly connected to the challenge, he is more relaxed and can reason better way out. So, his energy, support and assistant recreate a lasting hope for his buddy. When this is done more often, he acquires ideas and greater wisdom to operate in a much higher level of understanding. Being compassionate towards someone create trust, confident and often times lasting relationship. It creates hope that develop outward winning attitude, which in return if well connected with our subconscious mind, it develops into sustained happiness and peace of mind. The privileges to show others love are everywhere for us to tap into; It might be emotional, which our words or smiles can heal. It can be to show assistant or anything, once is important to someone is necessary we take on the opportunity to make someone happy. This gesture goes a long way to recreate hope and happiness both in us and the person we care for. You lose nothing by being compassionate; it’s good we work for the joy and happiness of other. In little things men earn grace, unending gift of wisdom, happiness and peace of mind.

SETTING AND ACHIEVING GOALS

Hard work is the pathway to guaranteed success, why it determines success, it can as well be managed by setting goals through proper planning. With great decision and discipline setting and achieving goals becomes accessible by anyone that determines to. Information enhances thought; the more knowledge you have about a thing, the brighter you’re on that particular thing. Planning effectively is as a result of adequate information or knowledge. So, to achieve any goal; our information about it should be sufficient. It enables us to develop great forecast and position us ahead to win. Every goal achieved was once an imagination conceived and nurtured as an idea. It all begins with a will to move from learning to creating. Learning about the process and forecasting possible challenges, helps us to think through it and proffer possible solutions that positions us well to achieving unbelievable height. Having a clear vision of where one is going, with great understanding as to how to get there, is absolutely important to achieving any goal. Before any goals, there is always a need to be met. To meet such needs we required deep study of all the elements necessary to accomplish it. The knowledge of what before us, motivates our drives to keep keeping on. Goal setting requires absolute focus, determination, discipline, diligence and great decision to see it to accomplishment. Once any goal is set, we are also expected to set everything within us and around us to achieve it. Goal setting enables us to plan. Setting and achieving goals is the pillar of greatness. It’s the joy of ventures and adventuring. It brings feelings of satisfactions which give birth to greater imagination and accomplishment. Whenever we hit a level of success, its joy pushes us higher to achieve greater success. But for success to be continuous, discipline is required. Discipline is quite needful to get going, because is the most important tool for continuous growth. Irrespective of our endeavors, it takes discipline to effectively prioritize goals. Goal getting becomes a habit through discipline, diligence, good decisions, accompany with great determination to see it through all odds.

NEVER GIVING UP ATTITUDE

I am yet to see anything as sweet as willpower in the field of endeavor. Whenever the thought of keeping on comes to the mind, i remember Thomas Edison. If Thomas Edison can still succeed after such long haul of failures. Meaning anyone that kept on will succeed no matter that you are or what you doing, you can't fail a thousand times before you hit success. Someone has gone through all that, even if you failed up to a thousand times, someone failed more than you. Thomas Edison is a great example when we think of never giving up attitude. But something enabled Edison to keep faith strong. Edison was able to take control his thought all through his experiment and was able to create another name for failure. He sees failure as an attempt to try better. Failure is only an attempt, just as success is an attempt too. Whether you got it wrong or right, you only attempted something. But whatever your result is; never give room to the loud negative voice from your subconscious mind. There is only two voices; positive and negative. Positive voice is the one encouraging you to try more, while the negative voice suggest you quit, you are not good enough, success is not yours. All sort of rubbish popping up. You are to subdue that negative voice and listen to the tiny little positive voice. This Thomas Edison did all through those challenging period of his invention of light bulb. One thing to note is; if you quit, the same negative voice that suggest you quit will accuse you of giving up too soon. Thomas Edison sees failure as a data all through his experiment. Anytime he failed in the procedure he only take note of the wrong steps in order to avoid it next time. So the more he was experiencing the failures, the more he was taking note of ways not to do it. So at a point he has so many ways of not doing it right and that enable him to narrow down his focus to possible way out. Failure is a clue to success itself. Every great and successful accomplishment had their challenges; most often successful people failed more because they try more things. Can you imagine someone sleeping to fail? Only those awake and working out something fail or have the tendency to fail. It takes nothing for someone on the ground to remain on the floor. But if he must get up, he must look up and be ready to stand up. If you ask me people should be confident to fail, because only those that dares to fail truly succeed. If you can fail, there is almost equal chance of success if that failure is not allow going deep down into your subconscious mind. A lot of things lead to failure; inadequate preparation, lack of observation, insufficient knowledge, environment and your mind etcetera. So study the real cause of the failure and avoid it next time. That what those that succeeded knew differently. Often, failure begins before you even try; only the mind makes it so. If you conceive failure in anything you will hardly have success in that thing. It’s imperative to position your mind for success if you truly want to succeed. Let the tiny positive voice dominate your thought and you are very sure of an exciting life.

BEING COMPLETELY RESPONSIBLE

Fortunate enough, being responsible begins in the mind; by controlling and regulating our thoughts always, to ensure only what makes us grow and emotionally healthy is permitted to go into our subconscious mind. Been a master to our mind enables us to take total control of our lives. Our physical actions and activities are all products of our thinking and imaginations. “To take full responsibility of our lives we have to take full responsibility of our thoughts”. As human our subconscious mind is only activated by affirmations and images from our senses. Our senses react in responses to what we allow into our thoughts. To be completely responsible in our day to day life we have to take responsibility of what we feed our thought. If you are positive about anything you hardly have disappointment in it. Responsibility starts from the mind and it takes shape through our actions. Being completely responsible means taking absolute control over our minds; guide it with most consciousness through that which is true. Being positive don’t just end at having positive wishes, it exceeds to being true; positive thoughts and positive actions. It means feeding the mind with what it truly needs to flourish. Taking responsibility over what we think affect how we behave, it also determines our opinion and our drive towards life. It determines in some cases our involvement and our companionship. It creates the things that happen to us. So, to stay positive and joyful we have to take full charge of our thoughts. Taking full charge of our thought, enable us to have control over our actions and activities. Whatever becomes our regular thought become our habits. A lot of individuals find it difficult to stay positive mostly in a tense situation, their mind often drive towards the negative thought each time. They believe the situation can’t be surmounted. They find it difficult to doubtlessly remain positive, so they affirm the negative. But the good news is; it’s possible to powerfully and completely influence your subconscious mind in a way that only the positive thoughts will be allowed in. You can replace frustration with gratitude, disappointment with hopes; if you ensure only the positive thought continuously dominate your mind. When this is done continuously it literally programmed us for stable and sustains happiness and success, which in return give us complete privilege to take full responsibility of our lives.
