Change the World....

My teacher shared these with us yesterday as his parting words of advice and I thought I'd share them with y'all. With these fundamentals I truly believe we're guaranteed to live a long life of love and happiness.

1. Change Yourself- “You must be the change you want to see in the world.” If there is something in your life that is bringing you down, or you're not happy with don't be afraid to change it. Change is one of the hardest things to do but it could be the most rewarding.
2. You are in control- We are masters of our own fate! God is here to guide us, but he gave us free will so we could make our own decisions.
3. Forgive & let go-Letting go and forgiving those who have done you wrong will lead you down the path of healing and peace. without taking action, little will get accomplished
4.Without action you aren't going anywhere-“An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”
Without taking action,  very little will get accomplished.It's not easy and I think that's why a lot of us just give up. To really get where you want to go and to really understand yourself and the world in which you live in, we need to practice!  It's important for us to find what we love to do and in return we'll find the inner motivation to keep going like the energizer bunny. Don't give up
5.Take care of this moment- Stay in the present as much as possible.We can't change the past and the future hasn't happened yet so why waste time thinking about it. Living in the moment gives us clarity, calmness and positivity. We need to learn how to live as much as we can in the only moment that we ever actually live in and control, the present moment!
6.Everyone is human- No one is perfect, and we all make mistakes, holding people to unreasonable standards will only result in negativity within ourselves. Its also important that we don't beat ourselves up over our own mistakes. We live and we learn.
7.Persist-“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
 It's important for us to find what we love to do and in return we'll find the inner motivation to keep going like the energizer bunny. Don't give up
8. See the good in people & help them- This is something hard to do , but it can be accomplished. There is pretty much always something good in every person. We can't pass judgement on people we come across in life, we don't know what their life is like or what internal battles they may be fighting. I ask god every day to give me the strength to see the good in all people.
9. Be your true self- There's nothing better then being authentic in your actions and words. If your communication is aligned people will be more receptive to you and therefore you'll achieve inner enjoyment
10-Continue to grow & evolve-Life is all about growing and evolving as a person and to do so will result in a much more happier, healthier you!
