Being Your Own Voice of Reason

How we attach meaning to events in our lives 
has a large influence 

on the quality of our life.

The meaning we put to our experiences, is a very powerful factor in determining the quality of our lives.  If we want to encourage a positive outlook, well-being, and a sense of self-confidence and even trust in the universe, we can begin by assigning more peaceful, loving meanings to what we experience.

If you were recently laid off and are having difficulty finding a new job, consider that you might have hidden gifts or passions that were untapped in your regular career that you are now available to explore. The universe might simply be moving you in a more fulfilling direction. If you have recently lost a loved one, gained weight, lost money, or gotten in a fight with your partner, see if you can infuse the experience with meaning that feels loving and empowering and opens a door for you to embrace life and the world a bit more.

 Bad days contribute to the people we become. Though we may feel discouraged and distressed on our bad days, a bad day can teach us patience and perseverance. It is important to remember that your attitude drives your destiny and that one negative experience does not have to be the beginning of an ongoing stroke of bad luck.  A bad day is memorable because it is one day among many good days – otherwise, we wouldn’t even bother to acknowledge it as a bad day. Know too, that everybody has bad days, you are not alone, the world is not against you. Tomorrow is guaranteed to be a brighter day.

When we begin to bring consciousness to what we are making things mean, we may be shocked at the messages we have been feeding ourselves all these years. 

Try taking the reigns and begin assigning a kinder meaning to the events in your life and you will likely find yourself on a much more pleasant ride.

Calmness through counting

People who keep their sense of calm when things around them are going crazy are always wonderful to be around.

We feel calmer just being near them, and from them we learn that we can be calm, because we know that no matter what happens, this inner sense of calm will help us to function well.

If we allow ourselves to be thrown off balance by every piece of disturbing news that comes our way, we may be relying too much on our emotions. On the other hand, our thoughts may also be unreliable at times like these, as they chatter on endlessly about what might happen next. 

If our feelings and thoughts activate one another in a hectic way, then we become caught up in the confusion that surrounds us. However, if we can locate the stillness at the center of our hearts, we can find composure in almost any situation. In addition, we provide a safe place for our friends and family.

It helps to remember that we don’t need to completely understand what’s happening right now, nor do we need to be able to predict the future. Most of us just want to find our way to being at peace with whatever happens, and we can find this peace inside. 

Cultivating our inner clarity with meditation, writing a journal, and reading words that inspire us, will lead us to that place inside us that’s already there, just waiting.

Become a Master of Time Management

Time is an important factor that has to be managed properly to make progress. 

Good time-management is an essential element for attaining your goals and being successful, but also seems to be one of the hardest things to do. 

Stephen Covey, in his book "The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People" describes time as being separated into four quadrants.

As the saying goes, time wasted is time lost. We cannot avoid Quadrant I activities, but the place we should try to operate our lives from most of the time is Quadrant II activities, as these will bring you closer to your goals and make the other sections smaller  and easier to manage. 

Its all too easy to get lost in social chats, email or watching TV and YouTube, (Quadrant III and IV activities), I know because I catch myself doing it more than I'd like to admit.

We should try to be conscious of the fact that each minute that passes only occurs once. When it’s over, you lose one more opportunity to achieve your objectives.

Every minute of your life should be devoted to some useful occupation. That doesn’t mean your schedule has to be constraining, or overburden you with too many things to do. When that happens you get discouraged, and you could give-up too soon. 

Divide your time between work – occupations designed to help you make progress in getting what you want in your professional life – and leisure activities that help you relax, and get rid of some of the stress you accumulate on your quest for success.I'm talking about taking action, little steps, making time to give to others, make someone smile and take a few moments each day to be grateful for what you have.

Devote two thirds of your time to your projects, and one third to leisure. That will balance your use of time perfectly, and enable you to move forward more quickly towards attaining the life of your dreams. Positive and creative time-management is something all successful people know how to do.

The way we show up for our lives today and tomorrow has an enormous affect on who we will be and what we will be experiencing years from now. If we can remain fully engaged in the day at hand, enjoying all it has to offer and putting our energy into making the most of our time, we will find that we are perfectly ready and capable to handle any future when it arrives.

Further tips and a very good video on time management can be seen on blog post Time Management Tips, How To Focus & Get More Done.


Take the first step and smile...  become the master of your own time.

If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.
-- Tony Robbins
