Inferiority

"To be a human being means to posses a feeling of inferiority, which constantly presses towards its own conquest... The greater the feeling of inferiority that has been experienced, the more powerful is the urge for conquest and the more violent the emotional agitation."

Alfred Adler 

Life is what YOU make it. It will become the way YOU plan it. And it will be lived to it's maximum potential based on how YOU live it. Don't let the subconscious feeling on inferiority stand in the way. You are free to live as the person you are and shouldn't feel ashamed to do so.

"Your only limitations in life are the ones you place on yourself."

Anon

Allowing yourself to feel inferior is a terminal state of living. It is a downward spiral. Once you begin to feel unworthy others will view you in the same light. Consequently, your future becomes masked with fear and the life you had once planned for yourself becomes replaced with soul destroying monotony.

Ensure to tell yourself everyday that you are just as able and just as worthy to live the life you envision in your head and that the only person stopping you from becoming the ultimate person you want to be is the person that you currently are.

"Progress is life, standing still is death."

Pir-o-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan 

Show pride for the person you are every day and walk as though your someone who people should be looking at. And they will.

Sun makes everything better

So it's a beautiful day today and I thought I'd share my thoughts on why sunshine makes the world a happier place...

I can't help but think that if the sky looked like this every day the world would be a better place.

Personally, I am my best person when living under a perfectly blue sky. I think better, I feel better and I am able to achieve anything I set my mind to.

I love nothing more than to be driving down a street, music playing and the sun beaming in my eyes. It reaches an inner contentment that nothing else can. It is almost a human need. We need to be lit up by the sun to feel happy.

We are taught from a young age that a holiday is the best thing to do with out time. Therefore what do we generally associate that with...? SUN. It's installed within us from a young age. As a child your happiest memories would have been a holiday of some sort... and without realising sunshine is an unconscious factor to that happiness and we therefore strive every day for it.

Funny really...

Find your inner freedom

Freedom is something that we all think we have. Something we associate ourselves with. The sad thing is the majority of us are not free. Just because we don't physically have chains around our ankles or aren't behind bars doesn't make us free.

Freedom is a state of mind. It's making that connection with our inner self and are proud to say we are who we are.

When was the last time you were on your own? Were you happy or itching to go and talk to someone? If the latter then maybe it's because your not happy with who you are as an individual. Being on your own provokes thoughtfulness and often you begin to question yourself. If you don't know the answers you'll run and distract yourself by socialising with others.

The harsh reality is, we entered this world alone and we will leave it alone. The main focus should be ourselves. If we are happy with ourselves and have fulfilled our inner desires then everything else in society will fall into place. Into a better place.

Suggestions:

Go for a walk on your own - somewhere quiet, somewhere that you can gaze into the distance and wonder what's out there.


Listen to gentle, inspiring music - turn the lights off at night and lay alone in a dark room. And just listen.


Go travelling alone - go to that place that none of your friends wanted to go to. Just because they didn't want to doesn't mean you shouldn't.


Go to that concert/theatre show on your own - everyone has a guilty pleasure when it comes to music and tend not to express any wanting to go to that concert/theatre for fear people will laugh. Well just go on your own. Who says you have to miss out just because others are happy to?

All of the above are ways to help you on your journey to self discovery but there are many other ways...
What do you like to do on your own? Where are you able to engage deep in thought?


To be free is to be fearless

Inspiring Song

If I Rise - Dido & A.R. Rahman

Confidence

This is a subject that above all baffles me. It stems back to Neanderthal periods where he with the biggest chest, the biggest muscles and the loudest roar was to dominate. All others with imperfections were to cower away.

Sadly this is exactly how the world still works. Confidence is installed into those with the nicest hair, the perfectly toned body, the biggest bank account etc... but why?

If you were to take a look at our world, at our species, look at it from an outside perspective from above. We are the same. Literally the same. So why do some feel they can dominate. Why do some feel they are better than others. Life is here for us ALL to live it, not just the beautiful ones.

You need to be able to look back on your life and say, "Yes, I lived that the best way I could". If you are able to say that, you will die with the utmost contentment.


Don't let other people prevent you from living the life you want to live. The world is your oyster too you know.

"Invictus" - William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

Late night inspiration...

Okay so its almost midnight and this tends to be the time that inspiration hits most. Be it for writing a beautiful song, completing the next chapter of your book or just finally coming up with that creative decision you have been striving all day for.

Maintain an open mind when going to bed. You sub-conscious will continue to work and will help solve any problem over night. Most of the creative geniuses in the world today came up with their best idea's in bed. Best thing would be to keep a pen and paper with you on you bed-side table.... just in case.

If your unconscious instinct tells you it's a good idea, it is! Don't allow yourself to talk yourself out of doing something. If you have too much time to think about it then you will come up with a list of reasons why it can't or wont be done. Life is too short to sit back in fifty years time with hindsight wondering what if...?


Embrace every day, every thought, every idea and every emotion as these accumulate to your Ultimate Becoming.
