‘How we act, how we relate to ourselves, to our bodies, to the people around us, to our work, creates the kind of world we live in, creates our very freedom or suffering.’- Joseph Goldstein & Jack Kornfield

That is why you should not worry about things that you cannot control. Life is too short for that. You have better things to do with your time, right?

If you care about other people, then focus on lifting people up. If you want to see a better world, a world where people are free to live together, to think together, to live in harmony, to do things that matter, to love, to celebrate with others, to embrace our differences, you have got to focus on social justice.

Because freedom is justice. Justice is life. If you are not free to live your own life on your own terms, you are not living; you are just there. Yes, just there.

If you care about your work, then focus on how you are going to get to your own next level. If you don’t like what you are doing, then find a way to create your own table for yourself. Because you are your own master. Focus on mastering yourself, then your work. Focus on becoming a better you. Focus on what really matter to you. Instead of wasting your time on what other people are doing.

When you focus on life, you get more life. When you focus on building a great environment, you attract other builders into your life. When you are positive, life rewards you with positive things. When you love other people, life rewards you with more love.

No matter what is going on in your life, you will go through it. If you are having a problem with your work, focus on making it better. If you are having issues with people, maybe they are not the right people for you. If you are not happy with your own life, then you have got to look within you.

Because you create your own life with your own thoughts. If you want a positive life, you must think positive thoughts. If you want to attract peaceful people into your life, you have got to think peaceful thoughts.

You don’t just think peaceful thoughts; you live with them. Why is that? Because tomorrow is waiting for you.

Life Starts When You Move

Move even when you are not ready. Move even when you are confused, don’t know what is going on. Move even when you are alone. Move even when life is not treating you well. Move anyway.

Whether you are just learning how to walk, talk, sing, write, do it. Move. Because their is life in doing. There is life in moving. There is life in running. There is life in walking. There is life in doing the right things.

Don’t wait for the perfect time to move, to try something. If you are really crazy about something, then move toward it. Is it going to be easy? Of course not. But go for it anyway.

If you wait for things to be okay, for people to give you permission, for you to feel ready, you will never get anything done.

Remember that life starts when you move. Things change when you move, not when you stuck yourself in your self-designed rut. Things get better when you decide to make things better, not when you reject growth.

If you are scared of failure, that is okay. But you have got to do it anyway. That is what successful people do. They do not run away from fear. Successful people face fear. That is why they are successful.

If you have the courage to face your own fears, you can change your life. Where change is, success is possible. Where change is, growth is possible.

The question is, ‘Are you willing to get uncomfortable?’
