Concentration

  Don’t lower your standards, but do remind yourself that removing your expectations of others—especially those who are being difficult—i s the best way to avoid being disappointed by them. You will end up sadly disappointed if you expect others will always do for you as you do for them. Not everyone has the same heart as you. Not everyone’s heart is filled with genuine gratitude. When you’re forced to deal with a difficult person, you can be grateful for having other people in your life who are far less difficult. You can be grateful for having a way to practice being better at patience, communication, and tempering your expectations. You can think of this person as a teacher, who is inadvertently helping you to grow stronger as a person. And, at the very least, you can be grateful for them because they serve as a great reminder of how not to be. Although we have these automatic thoughts that go into our heads in that moment of dealing with a difficult situatio...

Hi everyone its Nasir Brown, I hope all is blessed, so this came up and it felt like a good message to share with you all so here it is. I have come to realize that sometimes changing your situation isn’t possible — or simply not possible soon enough. You can’t restructure your entire lifestyle in an instant. I wish I could, and I wish I could change people but you can’t make someone else change against his or her will. And you certainly can’t erase the past. So, what choice do you have left? Change your attitude about your situation. Doing so will help you shift into a different approach and ultimately allow yourself to grow beyond the problems and barriers you can’t control immediately. Let’s be honest, we all have negative thought patterns that come up and we emotionally default to them when times get tough or stressful. Patterns like people-pleasing that was me, reacting with a victim mentality, succumbing to needless worry,...

Hi guys, Its Nasir Brown, I was once told that your only one thought away from change, so what thought can we adopt to make change and become a stronger person tomorrow? I have 4 hard truths about today that will make you a stronger person tomorrow. Life keeps leading us on journeys we would never go on if it were up to us.  Don’t be afraid.  Have faith.  Find the lessons.  Trust the journey today. We humans are so beautiful and were all just trying to find our way, success leaves clues, happiness leaves clues, today and every day we seek to better understand the meaning of our lives. We all want to discover our gifts and release them into the world,  in hope of finding happiness, peace, and strength along the way.  For some of us the expressing of these desires are loud and clear, driving what we do and how we do it from moment to moment.  For others, these deep seeded needs are buried below the noise of daily life, below ego, below...

Hi Guys, In my daily walk through this life I have come across quite a few people who always seem to want to achieve certain things in their life but yet do nothing towards achieving it yet, they will swear to me that yea I really do want to exercise be in better health or get my body ready for that holiday, I really do want to get that website up and running and get my freelancing on because I hate my job etc etc. Well, I'm sure you have heard this saying before, If you keep doing what you're doing, you'll keep getting what you're getting. Yet, so many of us don't listen to our own better judgment. In fact, oftentimes the biggest difference between those of us who are making positive changes in our lives and those of us who aren't is not one’s superior abilities, but the courage that one has to just take consistent action. In other words, some of us sit and wait for the magic beans to arrive while the rest of us just get up and get to work. ...

You know we really don't realize how serious negative thinking is, and how much of an impact it has on our day to day life, did you know that the number one barrier to living a good life is negative thinking. We like to make life more complicated than it is! We believe the story's that we tell ourselves. But here's the thing and trust me now, and thank me later: all battles are won from the inside out. I was with a friend the other day and she's going through a mad tough mental battle right now because she believes that everything and everyone on the outside is the cause of her suffering on the inside. Let me remind you: The mind is your battleground ... ... it's the place where the fiercest and most ruthless conflict resides. ... where half of the things you feared were going to happen, never actually happen. ... where your expectations always get the best of you. ... where you fall victim to your own train of thought time and time again. If y...

   Good afternoon all, so this morning I posted some words about our superpower called calmness,   I just wanted to extend it and share with you, now one of the many ways to combat certain things that go on our heads and a practice that I use to do quite often was to write stuff down or affirmations down on a post it note or something.    So today I want you to challenge yourself to pick the one new reminder every morning for the next week and a half (roughly ten days), write it down someplace you can easily see it (perhaps write it on a post-it note), and then consciously recite it (at least three times) as needed throughout the day. See how doing so prompts you to respond to life with a calmer and more effective mindset. 1 Calmness begins the moment you take a deep breath and choose not to allow another person or event to control your thoughts. You are not what happened to you. You are what you choose to become in this moment. Let g...

Hi all, a big thank you to you all for reading my blogs and my post, you may or may not know but one of the most important things to me whilst being alive on this earth is the art of self improvement.  Some walk in the direction of which I am traveling and I commend you for being connected, Loving and giving not only to yourself for when you give to yourself you give to others and vice versa, however some people unfortunately walk through life stuck in limbo running on a treadmill really fast but going no where and while we all do change as we grow up, some things about us don't change and we can carry these things with us for the rest of our lives picking up on the way up lets say not the best habits that take us away from that beautiful childhood dream we use to have and just knew one day I was going to become a singer or a famous rapper, dancer, the new Jimi Hendricks you get the message. or it takes us towards a miserable sad unhappy waiting for the world to change before I a...
