When peace comes on earth 

Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.

At a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie.

If good things are coming, they will be a pleasant surprise. If bad things are, and you know in advance, you will suffer greatly before they even occur.

There is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth.

When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

If you start out by promising what you don't even have yet, you'll lose your desire to work toward getting it.

The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.

Making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.

People need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want.

We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it's our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand.

When you want something with all your heart, that's when you are closest to the Soul of the World. It's always a positive force.

Everything on this earth is being continuously transformed, because the earth is alive...and it has a soul. We are part of that soul, so we rarely recognize that it is working for us.

Courage is the quality most essential to understanding the Language of the World.

There is only one way to learn. It's through action.

Wherever your heart is, that is where you'll find your treasure.

People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they don't deserve them, or that they'll be unable to achieve them.

Fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.

Why don't people's heart tell them to continue to follow their dreams? Because that's what makes a heart suffer most, and hearts don't like to suffer.

When you possess great treasures within you, and you try to tell others of them, seldom are you believed.

If a person is living out his destiny, he knows everything he needs to know. There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

It is we who nourish the Soul of the World, and the world we live in will be either better or worse, depending on whether we become better or worse. And that's where the power of love comes in. Because when we love, we always strive to become better than we are.

No project is completed until its objective has been achieved.

Paulo Coelho de Souza is a Brazilian lyricist and novelist and a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters since 2002. His novel The Alchemist became an international best-seller and he has published 30 more books since then.

Paulo Coelho

The Alchemist

The only perception we have control over is our own. How we perceive our world influences our attitude, which in turn affects what we attract. If we perceive a world of abundance, our actions and attitude attract abundance. If we perceive our life as lacking what we need, we worry more about conserving what we have rather than attaining those things we want and need. Our brains automatically process what we worry about as a threat. This Then changes our perception and even our body chemistry.

Perception

Once Mahatma Gandhi said, "It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there will be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result."We may be equipped with tons of knowledge. We may have the best of skills, the most positive of attitudes and the strongest of beliefs. But if we wait for the right time and just keep planning, nothing is going to come out of it.

Stop Waiting For The Right Time

Our comfort zone is a dangerous place. It prevents us from improving, it stops us from achieving all the things we are capable of achieving and it makes us miserable. So, if we decide to bring about a change in our life, we need to shake ourselves out of our comfort zone.And this starts by asking ourselves some tough questions, questions that we have been refusing to acknowledge. We need to ask them to ourselves and we need to answer them also to ourselves. So, why do we resist? We resist because it makes us uncomfortable.

Comfort Zone: A Dangerous Place

There could be loads of reasons that we may not achieve what we wish to. We fail. We consider this a setback. Setbacks set us back. The biggest problem with a setback is that it requires more than the previous level of motivation to try again. We tried with a certain level of motivation, but could not succeed. Next time, it requires more self-convincing, more motivation, more efforts, more self-limiting beliefs to unshackle, more doubts and questions to overcome, more emotions to work on...to be able to get back on to our journey of life.

Setbacks

Action is the basis of all success. Every action may not give success but at the same time, no success is possible without action.

Any change that we desire requires constant learning and the skillful application of what we learn, to adjust our goals, strategies, and behaviors. But the most important learning we need to do involves learning from our own experience. This takes a whole different set of skills than those involved in absorbing what other people can tell us. The ancient Greeks had a word for this– praxis.Praxis is a four-stage process of:<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Observing our actions and their effects</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Analyzing what we observe</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Strategizing an action plan</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Taking action</li></ul>

Praxis

Awareness is the state of being conscious of something. More specifically, is the ability to directly know and perceive, to feel, or to be cognizant of events. The concept is often synonymous with consciousness. Awareness of our inner patterns of perception and reaction is the first conscious step towards transformation.Transformation does not lie in changing the past or controlling our environment. It lies within. What happens to us is not important. What happens in us is important.

Awareness & Transformation

Letting go is difficult. We get stuck in the same thought patterns over and over. We cling to and replay the past again and again in our minds. The desperate attempt to hold on to things limits our capability to experience happiness and joy in the present moment. Life is all about continuous change. No matter how hard we try to hold on to things, we will sooner or later be confronted with changes, whether we like it or not. The earlier we cease out attempts to own and control the environment we are living in, the faster we open up ourselves to new possibilities.

Letting Go

Through self-observation, mindfulness automatically streams into our life. The moment we realize we are not being mindful– we are mindful! We are now watching the mind instead of being swept off in its current. Any time we watch thoughts, we are being mindful. The key is– Don't believe your thoughts. Don't take them all seriously. Watch them, question them. In this way, thoughts and conditioned, reactive ways of living and thinking lose their hold over us. We no longer have to play them out.

Mindfulness: Watch The Mind

The weight that comes with the feeling of failure is not caused by the reality of the failure itself, but by the personal perception of that failure and what that means to us.

I Wanna Grow Up Once Again is a diverse collection of thoughtful and also thought provoking insights that deeply connects us with our inner self.

Why do I always feel that I am not good enough? Why do I always feel like a failure? What is holding me back? I don’t know how to try again. Why do I land up with the same old default behaviors? Do we not feel at some point of time in our life … I wanna grow up … once again? The book tries to connect us to certain deeper parts of us with thought-provoking issues like: • Why we don’t do what we want to do? • Why do we hold on? Why do we not let go!? • We all make efforts, but how do we handle setbacks and burnouts? • How to change our perceptions and break our patterns? It is an inward journey into how we have lived our life, till now and how we choose to live from now! “What happens in us is more important than what happens to us!”

Dr. Sumit Goel

I Wanna Grow Up Once Again

When— maybe after a pleasant stretch of self-compassion & confidence— we’ve realized our own faults & failures, the immediate response may be similarly directed doubts. Maybe we’re just generally wrong, overall inexcusable, or wholly idiotic. Worst of all, maybe we’re just a bad person.”

Mistake? Panic! 

But what if we instead told ourselves a different story? A small dose of self-pity can be sobering, considering life is a series of events that we’ve—for the most part— not chosen ourselves. How could we have known any better? No one seems to have all the answers— certainly not us— & living the unblemished life in a world of chaos isn’t easy.

Reassuring Acceptance

We can either choose the self-story which demands, “How could you be so stupid, you pathetic wretch?” Or the one which reassures, “To err is human, but to cling to our shame is unnecessary.” Maybe this time we can try giving ourselves a break, instead of beating ourselves up.

Two Stories 

Why we might benefit—in face of our shortcomings— from giving ourselves a break.

Should You Feel guilty for hoping?Are Your Dreams all illusions?You have spent Life on the blue lane, now you’d rather see where the red one leads.Should you feel guilty taking a new challenge, this place is suffocating and the tomorrow it promises offers no respite.

Towards The RED Line

Have heard it all before, a thousand times before.You are not good enoughYou don’t know what you’re doingYou’ll failYou’re making a mistakeYou’re safe here.

Why am I so afraid of change, if I don’t like it here.

I’m scaredI want something different but I don’t know what it is.What I know,I know another day here is more dreadful than failure.And the future it offers is not a future I want.but What I want, I don’t knowI’m just taking a step towards the red line,Whatever happens after,I’ll deal with it from there.

I’m scared

A poetry showing the struggles that comes with growth.

Have you ever happened to disconnect from reality, while your strange and incomprehensible thoughts are floating all around?That feeling when you stare at one point on the wall and you are present with your body, but with your soul and thoughts, you are somewhere completely different.How strange it is how, all of a sudden, our brains are occupied by some completely crazy thoughts, which make our brains explode.Don’t worry, it happens to everyone! Our brain is very complex and all those strange thoughts that appear out of nowhere are called random thoughts.

Background 

Random thoughts are those thoughts that appear out of nowhere and quite unexpectedly. At one point you are watching a movie or talking to a friend, while at another you have already entered another dimension trying to give yourself an answer to a completely random question.The human brain is programmed so that it cannot stop thinking. At all times, the brain works diligently and can surprise you in which direction he can go.Random thoughts often have nothing to do with a particular situation you are in. Random thoughts just appear and like a bird on a branch, land in your brain.

Random thoughts – what exactly are they?

No rules. Given that the human brain functions amazingly and that we can’t always determine what we will think about, random thoughts can appear quite by accident, when we least expect them.But, they can appear as a result of creativity or solving a certain problem. When we remove all obstacles and let our creativity live, our brain is free of all barriers and works in the craziest way possible.When we are in a certain problem, we will often think too much to find a solution to the problem. That's why, random thoughts, no matter how unnecessary they may seem, can help expand our horizons.

Why do random thoughts “attack” our brains?

1. The scream in your head will never be out of breath.2. Do fish in water have their hidden life where they go to school, hang out, study, and get married?3. If everyone had roller skates instead of feet, would there be cars or would they go rollerblading everywhere?4. We will never know what memories we had as children and we will never remember them.5. We know our parents for whole our life, while they know us only part of their lives.6. Someone was born at this very moment, and someone lost his life at this very moment.

12. Humans invented the sounds produced by dinosaurs.13.

12 Things That You Should Be Truly Proud Of | Steven Webb

“For those who expect everything, there are many curses.For those who appreciate everything, there are many blessings.”

“Money is not the only way to improve life. Instead of widening your margin of profit, widen your margin of leisure. Instead of optimizing for money, optimize for time. Instead of seeking efficiency, seek recovery.”

“Many good opportunities are ruined for the dream of slightly better ones.Would you be 10% happier in a different relationship? Maybe. Maybe not. But you'll definitely be unhappy in the one you have if you spend all day thinking about what else is out there.The surefire way to end up worse off is to agonize over unchosen options and fail to make the most of the one you selected. Every minute spent yearning for your unlived lives is a moment you can't invest in the one you actually have.Choices matter, but so does your level of commitment.”

“Nobody's going to do your life for you. You have to do it yourself, whether you're rich or poor, out of money or raking it in, the beneficiary of ridiculous fortune or terrible injustice. And you have to do it no matter what is true. No matter what is hard. No matter what unjust, sad, sucky things befall you. Self-pity is a dead-end road. You make the choice to drive down it. It's up to you to decide to stay parked there or to turn around and drive out.”

“I strongly believe that the only way to encourage innovation is to give it to the young. The young have a great advantage in that they are ignorant. Because I think ignorance in science is very important. If you’re like me and you know too much you can’t try new things. I always work in fields of which I’m totally ignorant.”

When was the last time you felt a sense of wonder and awe? What can that experience teach you about how to spend your time?
