Environment
via HERE
Where are you living? What does your bedroom look like? If you want to be a fashionista, your living area has to support it. If you want to be a spirit junkie, make sure you have things around your house that make you feel like that! Environment also entails who your friends are, where you spend most of your time. If you want to feel more connected to the Earth and nature but you stay out all night in the city, are you really putting yourself into situations that you want.
If you want something and you want it bad, you need to start changing your environment. You can do it drastically by moving to a new place or you can take small steps to change your environment. You could get up earlier in the am and sit outside to hear the birds chirp. This may bring you closer to nature.
Skillset
You want to be an awesome blogger, or you want to be a motivational speaker, but you know nothing about what it takes to be those things. You need to have the skills that whatever you want to be has. Take time out of your day to do some research. Figure out what skills you need to be an awesome blogger, or a speaker, or anything else your heart desires. Work on getting those skills until you can say with confidence that yes I am a hard worker, I am savvy with online media platforms, I can speak well in front of others, or I can brainstorm ideas. Practice your skills, do things for free if you have to!
Lastly but Most Important
Mindset
This is where you believe in yourself. You are in the right mindset to achieve your goals. I was reading a little of The Power of Now last night. And Eckhart Tolle was speaking about how future planning is great, so we know the direction we want to head but too many people just live for this hope of a better future. They don't step back in the present moment and make it happen. I was doing this too much. I was fantasizing about how awesome my life was going to be and forgetting that in order for it to be that way I have to fully be here. You have to plan then live in your plan. Also, to be in the right mindset you need to be positive and love everything. There are many ways to be in this mindset.
Some of things I do to be in the right mindset:
1. Be grateful for what you have in life.
I am grateful for my family and friends that help me express my love. I am grateful for the things I have: a house, a working car, a job, and money to make my dreams come true. Also to live in a country where opportunity is available.
2. Be in the moment as much as possible.
Whenever speaking with someone, be fully there. Listen to every word they are speaking. Try your damnist to not let any other thoughts creep in.
3. Feel love, extend your love outward.
Feel love deeply in yourself. Think as if you are giving love to everyone you meet. Even if people are being difficult, you can still feel love for them.
4. Know that your place in the world is not already taken.
Don't be afraid someone is already doing what you would be doing. There is plenty of room for everyone to do whatever they want to do. You are a unique person, you will have your own twist on things.
5. Do not get caught up in the media and popular culture.
You can still be aware of what is popular and what is going on, but don't get confused on what you want from what others want. Stay true to yourself and what makes you happy.
6. Keep on keeping on.
I love this one. If you want something bad, you have to keep striving for it. Now when I say this I am not saying to manipulate or push. I am saying keep knowing that what you want will happen. Take the fails as a step closer to your destination. Belief that the universe will make it happen.
To make things become a reality, build these areas of your life up.
With Love,
