Seek The Truth

Seek The Truth

As we go through life we are bombarded with things that try to catch our attention.  Things that give us hope, things that we put our faith into, things that sell us on the fact that we are lacking.

Feeling bad?  Try this drug, fragrance, food, diet, etc.  Feeling happy?  Enhance your mood with this product or that product.  Point is, when you are operating from a position of lack, you will open yourself up to things that will never fill you.  You will always need more...and more...and more.

This is where goal setting, a belief system, faith, etc are important.  If you have a goal in life, in my case during my weight loss journey...I could pose the question "Is this action going to get me closer to my goal?"  If the answer was no, I didn't do it.  So therefore you have rooted yourself in your truth in your purpose.  This is good, it is good practice.

The only issue is, eventually you will obtain your goal...keep steadfast to that idea and I guarantee you will hit your weight loss goal...but then what?  Sure you can bulk back up...and do those things and keep it going ad infintium...until death.  Issue is, you will get sick at times...other times things will happen in life and you may have to move away from your fitness goals.  Then what?  You have put your faith and purpose into a fallible idea.

I suppose what I am trying to get at here, is that when you really want to root yourself into something.  Root yourself into the truth...root yourself into the core of all belief systems and stem out from there.  You can apply that to all of your goals in life.  Is this moving me towards my true purpose?  In my case, "Is this going to help me spread the word and help serve God's purpose that was put onto me by him?"  When every action is posed with that question, it is hard to make a "bad" decision....But when you do fail...the great thing is...you get a fantastic do over....and a promise to not do it again.  I don't think it gets much better than that.

In the spirit of the season...choose something rooted in the truth to do for the New Year.

Making It Now: 4 Steps to Success

The best time to do anything is right now. Hesitation is one of our biggest enemies in the world of getting things done. For a long time in my life I would put things off until the last minute then scramble to put it together. This can work as some of us work well under pressure, but in my experience a little planning can go a long way. Here are some of my tips on getting things accomplished. Make a list Writing things down takes an idea out of our minds and puts into the real world. This is an important step because ideas without action are simply that..and idea. The first action is to make it real by writing it down. Do it I know I have many lists with things uncrossed. It is very important when you have big goals to break it down into its parts and slowly accomplish them. Big goals can be very daunting. Want to make a million dollars in a year? That seems like an unrealistic goal, but if you could break it down into $2,000 a day, then break that down into selling

Find Someone Who Loves You For Who You Are

It can be very difficult at any age to enter into the dating scene, but it becomes different as we get older with more complications. Personally, I am 35 and once divorced. It was a very difficult journey to get myself to the point where I am now physically, financially, and emotionally. To be able to get myself where I am a whole person not dependent on another to make me whole. In my younger, egocentric mind I would seek out relationships for pleasure. Something to make me whole to give me what I thought I needed. There is a big misconception out there about love. Yes, it can absolutely be this fairy tale thing where 2 people come together to have this bond. But what it should never be is a knight in shining armor coming to rescue another person. This goes for either sex. But this is important to remember. victim + savior = toxic relationship There are plenty of people that will love you for your money. There are plenty of people that will love you f

Being True to Yourself Means Being Fearless

Got integrity? Integrity means doing the right thing or what you believe to be the right thing all of the time. This means you don’t make justifications for your actions when no one is looking. This is hard. “Oh, no one will be the wiser.” This is in part the reason that religion, specifically the all knowing, all seeing God, is not followed as much as it used to be. It gets tiresome. The idea of everything, every thought, every word, and every action has meaning. Someone is keeping tabs all of the time. That’s exhausting, but there are specific rewards you get from being true. You get to be pretty much fearless. When you know in your heart of hearts that you did the right thing given the circumstances, the knowledge, and the tools that you have at your disposal, there is no one that can oppose you. This also means you can see right through people. When lies and deceit do not exist in your life, if they aren’t your practices, you can see right through them. Th
