Happiness

Hey 🙂

Happiness is being the creator of your experience, choosing to take pleasure in what you have, right now, regardless of the circumstances, while being the best you that you can be.

Alex Shalman

Some little things about happiness: In order to be happy you have to DO things on purpose, you have to chose to be happy. Acutally Being Happy is a conscious choice, it is an active movement and it can be trained. You can chose wether you want to be happy and a “Maker” or you want to be a victim.

Of course it is easy to be full of self-pitty and search for others to blame, search for others to take responsibility for your situation. But in the end you are the one who suffers the results, no matter who takes responsibility for it. So why don’t you just start taking responsibility for your own happy life and don’t let the false assumption that external factors can define your happiness distract you.

Another quote, which is related to this thought might be

If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much

Jim Rohn

And here is some happy stuff for you at the end of todays dailymote 🙂

Before I forget it: I’ll be in the Netherlands from today till monday so I’m not sure wether I’ll be able to keep you updated with content. Nevertheless, if you need some motivation, just shove this video right up your face and (although I think some of the clips are definitely fake) realise: People are awesome! Together with the fact that what anyone can achieve you can also achieve, watching this video is quite an inspiring thing.

Adjust your goals

Hi 🙂

Today just a beatiful quote:

Shoot for the moon.  Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.

Les Brown

This should not be taken literaly of course, but I just like the idea behind it. The idea of setting yourself very big goals in order to achieve something big and nice. It is not that important that you reach your goal as you imagined them, which is impossible because how could you be able to imagine your future that exact? 😉 Just set yourself big hairy goals and stick to your plans and the outcome will be astonishing beatiful!

Get up, get out!

Hey 🙂

He who is outside his door has the hardest part of his journey behind him

Dutch proverb

This one is about leaving your comfort zone. If you start doing stuff it is natural to go outside “into the world” and achieve things. I don’t say that you can’t achieve something at home or that you can’t develop personally at home, actually your home is essential for your development and it is important, but if you want to achieve something great, you have to take the guts and go out there. That’s why normally it’s half the rent if you just take your lazy ass out of your comfy chair or couch and get out of your home, out of your comfort zone.

It will take time to get used to “go outside”, but remember for example you being a kid. Didn’t it feel natural to go and play outside? It was not interesting if the weather was good or not, we just felt the urge to do so. Today many of us lost that urge and are used to relax in our homes, braindead and idling. Stop that, get up, get out!

Want to learn something difficult?

Hi 🙂

There are no easy methods of learning difficult things; the method is to close your door, give out that you are not at home, and work!

Joseph de Maistre

I like this quote because it idealizes keeping external diversion away from yourselves. Just think about it: You want to learn a song on the guitar. So you take 2 hours of your time every day, when you shut down your computer, pulll out your phone, close your door and pretend you are not at home. You are just not available to others at that time of the day, because you commit yourselve to playing guitar with 100% of your attention. You are 100% present, physically and psychically!

That is how you really improve, but of course it is a very drastic way and just an idealization. Try and find the right amount for you personally.

Living vs. Existing

I will just give you another quote for today and won’t comment any quote in the future since I don’t want to repeat myself to often. Nevertheless I’ll bring some unique content to this page, don’t worry 😉

Living is not this tawdry, mediocre, disciplined thing which we call our existence. Living is something entirely different; it is abundantly rich, timelessly changing, and as long as we don’t understand that eternal movement, our lives are bound to have very little meaning.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

The formula for success!

Hey, happy saturday 🙂

Still blogging from my Blackberry, so let’s make it short:

Would you like to give me a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success but it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.
Thomas J. Watson

That’s it for today, no need to support or explain this simple yet profound lesson.

Seeing obstacles from another perspective

Hey 🙂
I’ll make it short today since im blogging via Blackberry right now, which sucks to be honest 😀

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve your conditions.
Jeethesh Sookoo

There are no obstacles that leave you teared down on the ground, at least not as long as you won’t let them! You can learn a lot from any obstacle and there is much truth in the shallow ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’. But it is important that you consciously chose to improve and to learn something. Obstacles and hard situations can’t help you on their own, you have to drain the energy out of them! Take what is yours and make the best out of anything. Who said you were not allowed to be positive about shit happening to you? I say: go, get ’em, take what you can get and keep it up!

A bit unstructured today, enjoy it anyway 😉 make yourselves a nice weekend,
