We seek and want so much in life but we don't know, " the know how? " to get there. We need to prioritized, act up, map out and have the will to get to a destination. It is important to know what we want and get rid of all that we don't want in life anymore. Rid yourself of extra baggage, additional weight or any surplus that is hampering your progression. Keep in mind that you are more important than your problems. Look at life, we look forward and prepare for the future, Even though we don't know what is ahead or what is to be expected. We don't look backwards even though the past is what we can talk and reminisce on, since that is what we have experienced. This is subtle distinction, but it's an important one. We allow too many distractions whether it is mental, emotional, or psychological to divert us from our main goal in life. Non-important issues get cluttered in our minds, occupying unnecessary space and blocking valuable space within our mental space. Too many live in fear. Fear of man/woman, advancement, success, failure etc... This fear creates us to live and do things in life that we don't wish nor want to do but continue to do. Living in fear is not knowing. We don't fear when we know. We know by preparing, listening and understanding. We are not born knowing. So, why are we expected to know what has not been taught to us? We as individuals get caught up doing so much for others to accept us, that we fail to realize that self is all that matters to make, "I" happy. If you don't contribute to your inner growth, how can you expect others to do it for you? Try to stop working so hard to make others happy and focus on self. By making self-happy, you grow and make your inner circle learn as well. We love by elaborating, knowing, expressing, and showing. Stop stressing the little things in life and for that matter the big ones. We are the ones to blame since we create and dig all our holes in life. The same effort and strength that you placed to dig out a hole, Place it by engaging your energy into producing a stable surrounding that will lead you in the path that you have looked for in life. Remember that quality of life is not measured by status or for that matter in monetary values. Status is a state of mind, is how we feel and knowing who we are. You are who you know you are and that is a success in your eyes. each day that we live, is a success, which is not guaranteed for anyone. Be thankful of all that you receive and stop complaining on things you have self to blame for. Life is valuable and is a big classroom. We learn as we live. You ask, where is your destination in life? I say, " find yourself by knowing who you are. "Birth sign: Pisces
