AUTODIVOSCOSA

Procesul Autocontrolului:
1. Stop 2. Gândește 3. Ce s-ar putea întâmpla? 4. Este acest lucru ceea ce dorești?

Una dintre tehnicile foarte eficiente de memorare este folosirea de acronime.

Acronimul rezultat trebuie să fiu unul ușor de memorat, cu o anumită rezonanță, pentru a putea activa lejer cuvintele, frazele sau chiar textul care te interesează să îl ții minte permanent și pe care să îl poți readuce în prim plan mental oricând.

Drept pentru care am inventat acest acronim: AUTODIVOSCOSA. Are o melodicitate plăcută, te duce cu gândul poate la o firmă italiană producătoare de mașini de lux

Cuvintele pe care AUTO.DI.VO.SCO.SA le activează constituie un reminder pentru:

1. AUTO - control

2. DI - sciplină

3. VO - ință

4. SCO - p

5. SA - tisfacție.

Ideea acestui reminder este foarte simplă: prin autocontrol, susținut de disciplină și voință, ajungi la scop și la satisfacția atingerii acestuia.

AUTOCONTROL: echilibru, calm, fermitate, încredere, putere a voinței

 "Acela care nu are control asupra propriei minți este precum un oraș distrus, fără ziduri de apărare."

Earl Nightingale spunea în al său The Strangest Secret ( Cel mai surprinzător/straniu) secret că marele secret al succesului poate fi găsit în chiar definiția acestuia: SUCCESS IS THE PROGRESSIVE REALIZATION OF A WORTHY IDEAL. ( SUCCESUL ESTE ÎNDEPLINIREA PROGRESIVĂ A UNUI IDEAL CARE MERITĂ). 

We become what we think about. ( Devenim ceea ce gândim). 

Majoritatea oamenilor eșueză dintr-o cauză atât de simplă, încât la prima vedere pare un truism ridicol: 

Omul care nu are un scop clar în față, către care să se îndrepte, va eșua, deoarece nu are direcție, nu are îndrumare, nu are destinație, asemenea unei corăbii care este lansată la apă, fără echipaj, fără a avea o rută prestabilită: dacă nu se va izi de stânci, la ieșirea din port, cu siguranță va ajunge o epavă, pe o plajă pustie, sau va fi distrusă într-o furtună teribilă. 

Fără un scop clar, omul va pluti în viață în derivă, și se va izbi de stâncile eșecului sau va eșua pe pustiile plaje ale dezamăgirii, disperării, depresiei și lipsei de respect față de sine, lipsei de încredere și de satisfacție. 

Gândurile pe care le nutrim și pe care le sădim în mintea noastră sunt precum plantele îngropate într-un sol fertil. 

Avem în fața noastră în permanență posibilitatea de a selecta cu atenție semințele pe care le plantăm. 

Semințele sunt gândurile și scopurile. 

Mintea noastră subconștientă, solul fertil, ne va înapoia în aceeași abundență și plante frumoase, sănătoase, plăcute vederii și mirosului, gustului, după cum ne va returna și plante otrăvitoare, neplăcute și nocive. 

Noi selectăm ce plantăm în mintea noastră. Alegerea ne aparține. 

AUTOCONTROLUL presupune să INTRĂM ÎN POSESIA MINȚII NOASTRE ȘI SĂ O DIRECȚIONĂM CĂTRE UN SCOP PRECIS. 

DISCIPLINA ne ajută să respectăm destinația aleasă, să nu schimbă cursul călătoriei la primele greutăți întâlnite și să gândim în permanență că regulile pe care noi ni le-am setat, nu ne-au fost impuse, atrag și obligația aferentă față de noi înșine să le urmăm cu strictețe, astfel încât libertatea noastră să fie exercitată nu ca o renunțare, ci ca o mână de oțel, care strunește și cele mai mari tentații și tendințe de a ceda, de a renunța. 

VOINȚA este catalizatorul care face posibilă menținerea disciplinei și face tranziția către atingerea scopului. 

Vreau, pot și voi reuși.

Dacă ne repetăm de suficient de multe ori zilnic aceste cinci cuvinte, dacă avem disciplina întăririi credinței în rezultatul final, prin inducerea în subconștient a acestei susțineri psihice, NU AVEM CUM SĂ EȘUĂM.

SCOPUL este farul călăuzitor. Oricât ar fi valurile de înalte și genunea de adâncă, cu încă un efort vom putea zări în depărtare lumina din turnul farului. 

Știm că vom fi făcut încă un pas către destinație, vom fi depășit încă un obstacol și nu vom renunța. 

SATISFACȚIA ATINGERII SCOPULUI este încununarea succesului, este dovada că putem și vom putea și următoarea rundă că câștigăm lupta. 

AUTODIVOSCOSA: un reminder pentru succes!

THE ROAD: THE INITIATION JOURNEY

There are moments in life when you feel that the ROAD attracts you, you feel somehow that it talks to you, it calls you. 

THE ROAD, that road who has been waiting for you for a long time, as you well know it, that road which you can hear whispering to you: '' I'm here, I am patient, you will arrive to me, sooner or later '', that specific road you can see flashes of, from time to time.

When you dream, you are free, you are unencumbered. 

Your imagination grants you this freedom, and that is the actual moment when the JOURNEY begins:

It will come a day when the perspective of your life well will change.

The day will come when your thirst for knowledge, for understanding, for freeing and fulfilling yourself will be strong enough for defeating the fear of the unknown, the fear of danger, the fear of not being powerful enough and astute enough in order to face all the challenges you will meet on the road, to face and overcome all the obstacles. 

The ROAD is a mystery, the road is hermetic for the uninitiated: 

This is exactly the reason for which you will never find out if you would have succeeded or not, as you cannot understand the ROAD before stepping on it. 

This is the true purpose of the INITIATION JOURNEY: to live your PERSONAL LEGEND, to turn yourself from the uninitiated into the initiated.  

You have no guarantee that you will succeed. 

You have no guarantee even that this is your true road.  

You have no guarantee that walking on your road you will not lose your way, that you will not be deceived or mislead from the right path and from the destination that destiny has chosen for you and that at the same time you have chosen.

You have no guarantee that your true path will not be lost forever in the labyrinth of the roads of the world.

If you don't take the first step though, you will never find out what could have happened if you had begun your initiation journey. 

You will have in front of you both before choosing to begin your journey and during the journey the possibility of choice:

YOUR CHOICES WILL BE THE ONES THAT WILL DEFINE YOU!

During your journey you will make mistakes, you will suffer, you will lose things that you are so attached to, in the present, you will be engaged in confrontations, confrontations for which you cannot be prepared enough, as you cannot know yet what, when and how will happen.

The INITIATION JOURNEY of every one of us is different from each other's. 

Your unwavering faith, the help that the Divinity grants you before you even ask for it, in His endless Generosity, Wisdom and Love, your faith and your love will be the water which will soothe your thirst, pain and dispair, your faith and your love will be the fire which will warm and protect you in the moments of loneliness and fear, your faith and your love will be your strongest weapons.

You will learn that you are much stronger than you believe, you will learn that the time to do what you are meant to do, the time to be what you always wanted to be, that time is right now!

Now is the time to begin THE JOURNEY and THE ADVENTURE OF YOUR LIFE!

No one will be able to explain to you what you must do and how you can succeed before you have already taken the decision for yourself.

At the end of your journey, you will discover your PERSONAL LEGEND: " When you're on a journey to fulfill your Personal Legend, the whole universe conspires to help you achieve it" - The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho

I cannot tell you, no one can tell you what the extraordinary transformations you will go through will be like, how much you will evolve, but the result will be in such manner that your former self will remain a distant memory, a memory you will be able to look at with clemency, tolerance and a slight nostalgic smile. All these things will happen. 

You will then understand that: " At a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie" - The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho.

INNER CONVERSATIONS

If you listen closely, you can hear in your mind several voices. It doesn’t mean you are crazy if you can hear them, loud and clear. 

For instance, when you are in public, obviously you cannot speak by yourself in a loud voice. Crazy people do that. So, you speak with your inner voice. 

When you are alone and need to think about different topics, you may talk to yourself out loud. Some people do that – they find it easier to clarify their thoughts – some people don’t: even when they are alone, they are afraid they might be surprised by a neighbor and make an awkward impression, or they fear that this may turn into a habit and they could find themselves making an observation or some remark while driving, or walking, or in any other circumstances. 

The second category of people, as I said, thinks with their inner voice even when they are alone. 

By now you will have recognized the voice I am talking about. 

This voice has different degrees of development and use, depending on the person. 

There are people who have a clear, articulate inner voice, formulating intelligible phrases, complicated enunciations, complex analysis, detailed observations, or plans of action. 

There are people who mostly feel, or see images, rather than hearing words or concepts. 

There are people whose inner voice combines words, feelings, colors, vivid images as movie trailers or videos, sounds, and words.

Regardless of your inner voice type, at some point, regardless of the frequency of it, you can hear it. 

And sometimes you can hear it crystal clear.

It can sometimes frighten you, as inexplicable thoughts surface out of your subconscious. 

The fact that you can hear it saying constantly the same expression, over and over again, talking to you about the same topic, forces you to pay attention to that specific matter that needs immediate attention, the same matter that your conscious mind keeps ignoring it, over and over again. It can sometimes surprise you what results can be generated by listening to your inner voice. 

These are the fortunate cases when you feel that what your inner voice is telling you is the right thing to do. 

We assumed so far, that your inner voice manifests itself as being yourself, and that its manifestation embraces the form of a monologue, as in: “I think that… I like that… Perhaps it would be better to..” etc. 

But it doesn’t happen always this way.

And this is the best part: CONVERSATIONS.

"Be careful how you are talking to yourself because you are listening" - Lisa M. Hayes

You find yourself in a conversation with yourself. 

You hear your inner voice saying something, until that moment nothing strange happened, because it was you who was talking, and then you give an answer, or state a different opinion.

Who is who now? 

Which of you is you and which is the other? 

The other is the other one? If not, who is it? 

Is it intuition? Is it your subconscious? Is it your higher self? 

Another situation: you surprise yourself having the same behavior in a certain context. Behavior that isn’t advantageous for you. 

And then you think about what were you thinking at that time: for sure, at least once in your life, when talking to someone else, you must have said, while telling your story: I don’t know what was I thinking!

Thinking about your thoughts in that specific situation, you discover that ALL OUR ACTIONS ARE DETERMINED BY INNER CONVERSATIONS. 

"Most of us are totally unaware that our inner conversations are the causes of the circumstances of our life" - Neville

It is less important the identity of our inner talkers, it may seem monologue or dialogue, but either if we are conscious or not about it, A CONVERSATION ALWAYS OCCURS. 

And that conversation becomes a way of being. 

If you want to change or improve certain ways of being in your life, you need to take the time and really identify and understand your inner conversations. 

For example: 

“I would like so much to do this or that, to become this or that, but he/she won’t let me!”

Or:

“I would so much enjoy starting that, but I’m too old for that ”

Or.

“ I would like to do this, or that, but I don’t have time, I’m too busy/ it’s not appropriate/suitable for a men/a woman of my status/ I lack the courage/ it is too late/ I’m afraid not to look ridiculous/ I don’t feel prepared ” – the list is endless.

If you want to change your life, as I know you want, you can begin by listening to your inner voices. 

Select the one that suits you best. Choose the brave, friendly, and wise one.

Detect the fraud, the deceiver that hides behind your bad and unproductive habits.

Create better, more efficient conversations!

Repeat and rehearse them aloud or silently, when you are alone, until they are understood, believed, and assimilated by your subconscious mind. 

Next time when you will be facing a recurrent situation, that you failed to overpass in the past, repeat silently, with your clear, precise, and firm inner voice the conversation that you have already rehearsed and act upon it!

You will succeed!

Mind your inner conversations, change them for the better, follow and act accordingly!

You will become a whole different person; you will become a new identity!

APPRECIATE & BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE

What is your first thought when you get up in the morning?

Do you feel good about yourself?

Are you happy with your life? With your current situation?

Do you have random thoughts?

What do you think about?
Do you think about yesterday's events & people? Do you think about what actions you need to take today? Do you turn the TV on and watch the news? Do you drink your coffee or tea and just plan your day?

What about later on, during the day? Do you think about what you don't have & you wish you had?

What are your thoughts at night? How do you mentally end your day, before going to sleep?

Do you think about the past? Or the future?

Are your thoughts bright or dark?

Take a minute right now and reflect upon these questions:


DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE?

DO YOU EVER THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE, ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU?

HOW OFTEN?

ALL THESE THOUGHTS, ARE THEY THOUGHTS OF APPRECIATION?

DO YOU EVER TAKE THE TIME TO EXPRESS YOUR GRATITUDE TO GOD FOR THE THINGS YOU ALREADY HAVE?

DO YOU EVER TAKE THE TIME TO EXPRESS YOUR GRATITUDE TO THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE & WHO LOVE YOU?

Be honest about your own answers.

Depending on your answers, try & see how it impacts your life, your state of well-being, of happiness, of fulfillment.

You may never know what tomorrow brings. We all hope for the better, of course.

You may be too focused on what you want, or worse, on what you don't want, and ignore what you have and the people you love.

Be here & now,

Be grateful for being alive. Be grateful for this day. For this very moment.

Enjoy every benefit of your present life.

Appreciate what you have. Appreciate the people you love. Share your appreciation.

Say to your loved ones how lucky & fortunate you are to have them in your life. Kiss them. Hug them. Caress them. Smile & be thankful.

Don't hold back your affection. Show it!

Start your day by taking inventory of the things you are grateful for!

It is sufficient for an efficient start, to identify at least one thing or person you are grateful for.

It may be surprisingly difficult at first, being accustomed to take everything for granted.

As you continue this exercise, though, the second, the third morning, you will be overwhelmed as to discover there are so many reasons for appreciation, that will put you in a state of well - being.

As you go through the day and you get angry or upset about so many reasons, try to remember the thing/person you are grateful for, and you'll feel better.

At night review your list, and go to sleep with a smile on your face.

You will find this amazing feeling of appreciation, of gratitude, of thankfulness, that will change your life.

This feeling will attract to it, as a magnet things, persons, events, contexts, that will boost it, and from this state of well-being, you will attract the whole list of things you have ever desired, because feeling good is the key to happiness & happiness is the key to everything you have ever wished to accomplish!

Let appreciation be your guide:)
