How we respond to events is based on our own life experiences.  We carry our own life experiences with us. As long as we carry our own life experiences, how we respond to an event will vary. We will always draw from our life experiences. Life experiences are the accumulation of wisdom. We learn the bittersweet of life through our experiences. We hope that we have gained some maturity from our life experiences. We have the opportunity to pass down our life wisdom to whoever will listen.

The way out is through the door. Why is it that no one will use this exit? —CONFUCIUS

Every one of us has a talent or a skill that we’re good at. To develop our talents and skills, we sometimes forget that, we had to work on them daily to get better. But when we’re confronted with learning another skill, we have to understand that we can use the same tenacity and determination that helped us before.  While we were developing our talents and skills, over time, we were gaining new learning experiences. These learning experiences are the resources that we can tap into learning new skills or discovering latent talents.

We should never lose who we are as an individual. We are responsible for taking care of ourselves as long as we’re able. It is all right to be self-reliant. We have to let others see us as we are. We must feel free to be ourselves without an apology. We don’t have to be with someone to feel belong because we belong to ourselves. We got to love and accept ourselves first before we can for someone else. No one can complete us or make us whole. We can only do that for ourselves.  We must seek those things from within so we are able to give in any kind of relationship.

“Life’s problems wouldn’t be called hurdles if there wasn’t a way to get over them.” ˜ unknown

The above quote uses a metaphor to describe problems as hurdles. Hurdles are meant to jump over from the start and until the finish line. From the day we’re born and until the day we die we will always be dealing with problems. Just as an athlete who jumps one hurdle at a time, we have to work on one problem at a time.  Sometimes problems can’t be solved but other times they can resolve themselves. Only if we make our problem smaller, then maybe we can deal with them better.

It’s all right to feel a little pressure when we’re faced with a challenge to complete a task. A little pressure can be motivating especially when there is a deadline we have to meet. It is better to set deadlines for ourselves because if we don’t, then nothing will get done. We don’t have to look at deadlines as punishment but as encouragement. When we set deadlines we’re forced to use our time most effectively instead of procrastinating and waiting to the last minutes to do it.   Waiting to the last minutes is just putting unnecessary pressure on us while trying to complete 85 percent of the work in short amount of time.  Some of us thrive on this kind of pressure and like it.  However, the anticipation of wondering whether or not to start today or tomorrow can be agonizing.

“Peace is its own reward.” − Mahatma Gandhi

When we’re at peace, there is no inner conflict. When we’re at peace, everything seems quiet. When we’re at peace, time seems to slow down. When we’re at peace, we have forgiven others that have wronged us. When we’re at peace, we no longer keep hatred inside of us. When we’re at peace, we have no problems accepting others and ourselves. When we’re at peace, we live without worries. When we’re at peace, tomorrow isn’t that important to us anymore. When we’re at peace, we experience calmness while every things else around us is chaotic. Peace enjoys the company of peace. Peace is rewarding for everyone.

We don’t have to give up on our dreams. It is not too late to dream and do something worthwhile in our lives. So whatever it is we can start now. We hesitate to actually do something because it provokes anxiety in us created by our fear of the unknown. We want to anticipate what may go wrong. We don’t want to lose our livelihood. We know this may change the rest of our life. We know things will not be the same. It is all right to dream, but also it is all right to make it real; that’s our goal.

If we want to find wisdom, we can look for it within our experiences. Gaining knowledge by reading a book and applying knowledge from books in our everyday situation are two different things. Applying knowledge requires us to do something. Once we begin to apply what we’ve learned, then we set out to see what works and what doesn’t work.  This is what we called wisdom. Most of us know that, but taking actions on what we’ve learned isn’t easy because it feels counter intuitive to what we’re familiar with. Some things we’ve learned won’t apply but those that do, is a keeper.

What we know is certain are that we’re alive. What we know is certain are that we get hungry and/or thirsty. What we know is certain is that we want to know about life. What we know is certain is that there are a lot of uncertainties. What we know is certain are that change is constant. What we know is certain are that we experience pain. What we know is certain are that we experience joy. What we know is certain is that we’re born, we live, then we die. What we know is certain is that it rains, snows, the wind blows and the sun shines.

When we feel comfortable about ourselves, it is easier to accept those around us who are different from us. Although we are different in many ways, we also have many things in common.  We all have a desire for friendships and love. We all want our dreams to come true. We all want to seek adventures and try new things. We hope for a better world for our children. We all want security and safety in our own homes. We enjoy eating our favorite foods among friends or family.

When we are having a hard time, it’s an opportunity for growth. When life seems unfair, it is an opportunity to comfort others. When we fall down, it is an opportunity to get up and even help others up. When it rains and thunders, it is an opportunity to look for rainbows. When it gets dark, it is an opportunity to see the stars. When we see disaster, it is an opportunity to give in some way. When we get tired, it is an opportunity to rest. When we don’t understand, it is an opportunity to learn.  When things are chaotic, it is an opportunity to seek peace from within.

Yesterday was Halloween. How come we like to be scared on Halloween? It is the adrenaline rush we get from being scared. In the context of Halloween we allow ourselves to enjoy the experience of being scared. But when it comes to life’s fears, we create internal images in our head that makes us frighten.  Yes, we create a lot our own fears because we want to control the outcome of the event that’s frightening us. Instead we can see that those fears are created by the mind and are not real.

When we’re feeling pressure to rush things along, it is time to sit back and relax. It is important that we pace ourselves to keep from being overwhelmed. We need to be at our best performance if we want to be effective in what we’re doing.  When we’re performing at our best, then we are making progress or producing something that we will feel satisfied at the end.  Feeling pressure makes it difficult to stay focused. Being unfocused will not help us at all. Relaxing is about taking a break. When we’re taking a break from the pressures, we are renewing ourselves and clearing up our minds.

“Your life doesn’t get better by chance, it gets better by change.” ~ Jim Rohm

If we aren’t satisfied with the way things are going in our life, then change is essential. A change can be a change in our attitude or a change in the way we see our situation can make a big difference in how we deal with things. Action creates change in us. A change doesn’t have to be big; we can start changing small things that will make a significant difference in our life. If we continue on the path of change, then a complete transformation is inevitable.
