Work harder on yourself, than you do on your job. If you work hard on your job, you can make a living which is fine. But if you work hard on yourself, you can make more financially.

Here is the big challenge, working hard on yourself, temperament, personality, mindset and culture means you as an individual are responsible for growing and playing the adult archetype. Living societal expectations without any sort of self development and growth keeps you reliant on everyone else. This is the child archetype.

Time cannot be managed, there are 24 hours in a day. What can be manged are activities. Imagine you only have 6 months left to live, every day should count. The way you work, think and spend time with loved ones. Most of us are not living to our true potential. It would take a diagnosis of death for 90 % of the world to live to their potential.

95% of our daily thoughts are self limiting beliefs and are negative. We have around 68,000 thoughts’ a day, 59,000 are negative and pull ourselves down. Most of the things you say to yourself are absolutely holding you back. In moments of despair and fear, old patterns erode our future as they play on repeat. We play the blame game, blaming everyone else for how we are feeling, reacting and perceiving life.

Pain is the greatest transformer that you could ever have. It is your choice, if you choose to reflect and take action to make big change, rather than go into a reaction phase of self destruction.

As a society we are so busy doing, we are not being.  People remember what you do when you are alive and how you make them feel, when you die it gets forgotten. The regrets of the dying are never that they worked more, but that they did not forgive and spent more time with loved one.

‘Forgiveness is the biggest attribute that any human being can have’ – Gandhi. Hurt people only hurt other people, if we retaliate back with more hurt its like feeding the fire, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth ends up with a society who are blind, deaf and dumb.

Being fulfilled is very different from being from being successful, we measure success by consumerism rather than inner happiness of the soul. Happiness is something you are.

Your presence, and being a listener is the greatest gift you can give to anyone. We live in a state of distraction and consumerism.

Communicate to people in a way that prevents them having to defend themselves. Lead with conviction, attitude and alignment.

‘A high tide raise all the boats’ – John F Kennady

Think about your belief system right now, what you are supposed to do, look like, job, status, money , success and so on. Now ask yourself where did these belief systems come from? Did you choose it? Or was it fed to you through societal conditioning and expectations.

Most of what we think we should be, was actually put on to us . Did you choose it? Or did you just do what you were told? The work is not becoming someone new but understanding the programming. If we can make ourselves sick, we can make ourselves heal.

‘Be, don’t try to become to become. Success is found by being present and authentic, not in trying to fit societal expectations’. Osho
