This Is The Most Difficult Thing To Be

Why are you living other people’s dreams? Why are you trying to be who you are not? C’mon, no matter what is going on in your life, you have a lot going well for you. Why not focus on what is going well for you? Why not use the time you have on earth to make a difference?

“The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be.”- Leo Buscaglia

In my opinion, that is better than wasting it on worthless things. If you don’t get what you want, be patient. Sometimes it takes time to discover the genius within you.When things are not working, be patient with yourself. Do not beat yourself up. Do not criticize yourself. When life is not treating you fairly, do not give up. Giving up on your dreams means you are giving up on yourself.

“The easiest thing to be in the world is you.”- Leo Buscaglia

You don’t want to do anything anymore. You are saying to yourself, ‘I am done!” Good or bad, do not quit. Keep going, keep learning, and keep loving your life.

The key to success is honesty. It attracts other like-minded people into your life. It takes courage to represent yourself. Martha Beck says, “No matter how difficult and painful it may be, nothing sounds as good to the soul as the truth.”

Truth is freedom. And freedom is responsibility. Truth is peace. And peace is a creator. Truth is responsibility. And responsibility is freedom. When you are responsible, you are free. According to Paulo Coelho, “Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose – and commit myself to- what is best for me.” You have a lot of ‘what is best’ for you. No matter what is going on in your life, look for the positive things in your life and focus on them.

How You Can Get Out Of Your Own Trap

“You don’t see your prison because its bars are invisible.”- Dan Millman

To know what is possible, you must first know who you are. If you do not know who you are, what you want, and where you are going, you can’t help yourself. You can’t get yourself out of your own trap. Look, whatever you want, you can get it. But you must do the dirty work. You must first get out of your own prison.

Prison? According to Dan Millman, “You don’t see your prison because its bars are invisible.” A lot of people are in prison. Some know why they are there. Others don’t care to know why they are there. Look, if you don’t care about your own life, who do you think is going to care? Who?

“Only when I know who I am will I know what is possible.”- Ram Dass

As I said before, if you want to create a better life for yourself, you can do it. To start, you must know what you want, who you are, and where you are going. Ram Dass once said, “Only when I know who I am will I know what is possible.” If you do not know who you are, how are you going to know what is possible?

Knowing who you are is the first step to getting what you want. If you know what you want, you can get what you want. If you don’t know what you want, you can’t get what you want.

To get what you want, if it is not out there, then create your own opportunity. Shakti Gawain said, “You create your own opportunities by asking for them.” That is right. Why? Because everything is out there. Opportunities are out there. And they belong to those who know what they want. If you know what you want, you can get them.

The door is open. If you want to know yourself, what you want in your life, then you must first be honest with yourself. Why is that? Because “fredom is for honest people.”

L. Ron Hubbard once said, “Freedom is for honest people. No man who is not himself honest can be free- he is in his own trap.” If you are honest with yourself, you are free to live your life on your own terms. But if you are not honest with yourself, you are in your own self-designed prison. You are in your own trap. To get out, do not lie to yourself.
