Our Thoughts Are Our Problems

‘Emotions aren’t the problem. Our thoughts are.’- Don Miguel Ruiz

Thoughts are powerful. Use the power of your thoughts to create a better world for yourself.

What you focus on grows. If you focus on negative thoughts, then do not expect your thoughts to produce any positive results, or to make you happy.

Yes, you can’t stop negative things from happening. But you can control yourself. You can control how you react to them. You can control your thoughts.

‘Change your thoughts, your feelings will change.’

If you can control your thoughts, then you can control yourself. You can control your emotions. And you can control your life.

According to Don Miguel Ruiz, ‘our emotions aren’t the problem. Our thoughts are.’ If you can put your thoughts under control, then your emotions will follow suit.

Focus On Growth, Not Perfection

‘When we focus on small, incremental improvements instead of perfection, the human spirit takes over, and all things become much more possible.‘- Dr. Jason Selk and Tom Bartow

Nothing is perfect. It is okay to be ‘perfectly imperfect.’ That is what you want to fight for, not perfection.

If you want to be perfect before you do anything, you are going to wait forever. Why? Because you can never achieve perfection. But you can grow while you are fighting for perfection.

Growth is possible, but perfection is not. If you focus on perfection, if you are striving for perfection, you are setting yourself up for failure.

Do not do that. It will hurt you. Whatever you want to do, do not wait to be perfect before you take the first step. If you do, you are going to wait forever. And forever never ends. It continues.
