Change Yourself and Change Your Life

Tuesday, August 31, 2010



hi guys long time not update here... huhuhu :P today we are want to discuss about life ehmm... life actually is unpredictable. In my opinian..

Most of us want our lives to change. We want to have meaning in our lives, we want more time, more freedom to the things we love and to be with the ones we love. We want to live life instead of what many feel is mere existence or enduring a life of drudgery.

As we come to the New Year and start thinking of New Year's resolutions, how to get healthier, get out of debt, find financial freedom, or find the right relationship, we have that sinking feeling that it won't happen again. We'll try just like the year before, and in the end things will fizzle out and we'll be stuck in the same rut that we've been in for so many years.

We want change, but don't know how to change. Even worse, we want change, but resist it at the same time, particularly in our behavior. We're built that way, to resist change, but we are also free to overcome that resistance. It's not easy obviously. We wouldn't be in the places we so hate if it were easy, but it's not impossible.

We are tempted to think that if circumstances would just change, then our lives would change. We would be happy. That is foolish. Lottery winners are notorious for being broke only a few years after winning millions. If we are a bit wiser, we may think that if we start doing things differently things would change. That is much closer to the truth than the belief that circumstance must change first, but it does not go far enough. The strange thing is that we must change internally in who we are first in order to change our actions which will then change our circumstances.

How do you see yourself? Poor, rich, unhealthy, healthy, unsuccessful, successful? Take a good look at yourself. What do you hate or want to change in your life? Now what do you want to be? Who do you want to be?

The next step requires faith. Against all logic, all reason, all experience, you must start seeing yourself as that person, you must start being that person. Only then can you consistently make your actions and behavior consistent with your goals, because that is who you are now. As your new actions, or better yet, new habits you've developed, become consistent, your circumstances will begin to change too.

Embrace change, but begin on yourself inwardly. Reject the self-doubts, the inward criticisms of yourself, and criticisms of others. Be open to new ideas, realize that your comfortable habits, thoughts, and beliefs have brought you to a place you hate. Learn to be uncomfortable again. Work on yourself first, take action based on your new self, and the fruit will soon appear.

I think thats all for now.. see yahh... adiosss have a GOOD life..

Laughter, the Best Medicine

Sunday, August 1, 2010



Good-humored laughter helps to reduce tensions. A genuine smile can never fail to thaw even the coldest of hearts. The fiercest opponent cannot fail to appreciate the power of a smile. A smile and a well-intentioned laugh at the right moment can achieve what even the best of arguments or force cannot do. The physical act of laughing is simple enough but it is an expression of the state of one's mental well-being. It is not an act which is performed to certain cues. It cannot be premeditated. It is a spontaneous expression on the happiness and joy that one is feeling at that particular moment of time.

All of us are familiar with the schoolboy poem 'Enchanted Shirt' in which a care-worn king sends out his courtiers in all directions to find out the happiest man in his kingdom and they finally arrive on an ignorant villager who has nothing but a torn shirt to cover his back, but is laughing and singing in the green fields in gay abandon. The king is full of envy because he cannot share the villager's joy and innocent laughter.

Laughter should, however, be the laughter of goodwill and good humor. It should be the result of genuine pleasure and enjoyment. It should arouse in those around us a feeling of goodwill and cheer. Laughter should not be cynical of sarcastic. It should not be meant to make fun of others or to belittle others.

Laughter, therefore, is probably the best medicine. Not only is it the remedy for unrest and depression born of drudgery and tensions in today's world but it also prevents confrontations. A smile goes a long way to reassure and inspire confidence. Laughter is the medicine prescribed by god. It is up to us to see that we have regular doses of it.
