“You don’t always get what you want, but you always get what you think you’re going to get.”- Charles Spurgeon

You don’t always get what you want because you can’t control everything in life. You can’t control other people’s actions. You can’t control how other people see you. But do you know what you can really control? Do you?

You can control your mind. You can control your thoughts. You can control your actions. He who controls his mind controls everything. Since you are the master of your mind, you are the master of your own life.

“Inward harmony is spiritual power”

James Allen

If you want to improve your life, you must first improve your thoughts. You can’t find success if you don’t think about it. You can’t find happiness if you don’t think about it. Remember this: “You will always get what you think about.” If you want to be successful, fill your mind with success thoughts. Read and think about successful people. Work really hard to achieve your success. Remove failure thoughts from your mind. Because success thoughts and failure thoughts can’t coexist. Don’t keep failure thoughts in your mind. You attract what you keep in your mind.

If you want your life to change, pay attention to your thoughts.

We all want to live a peaceful life- a life without stress. But is that really possible? If it is possible, how can we achieve it?

The answers to the above questions are in our own hands, in our thoughts, and in our actions.

We can enjoy our lives if we can accept the fact that there is NO stress-free life. It is not possible. But what we can do is to learn how to live and manage our problems. We can do that. It is simple. To do that, let us explore the following strategies:

Spend time with the right people. We love our friends. We want to be with our friends. But the question is, “Are they the right friends?”

Be happy with what you have. If you don’t stop complaining about what is missing, you will never see what is present. Learn to let go of what is holding you back, and open your door to what will take you to the next level- your dreams.

Respect yourself and others. Respect other people. Respect yourself. Value who you are, not who you are not. The more you respect yourself, the more you will feel good about yourself. It is good for your health.

Love. A loving heart knows no hate. Love is fearless. Love can conquer all things. Where there is love, there is life. If you want to live a peaceful life, love is the way.

Laugh. Laugh at yourself everyday! It frees up your mind. Do not be too big to laugh at yourself. Marla Cilley says, “Laugh everyday, even if it’s at yourself!”

Discipline yourself. If you lack discipline, you will find it difficult to live a peaceful life. Jim Rohn said, “Every discipline, or lack of one, affects every other discipline.” In order to live a peaceful life, you must discipline yourself. Stay away from things that are against your values. Live your own life.
