Life is in your hands

How do we grow as humans? What does it mean to grow? I believe that growth equals change, that in order for you to grow you have to make some changes. Not necessarily big changes but significant ones that you notice and can feel in your body. Like when you stop smoking, that's a change you feel for a long time. You are hunted by the nicotine monster for a long time after you've had your last cigarette. I have now been smoke-free for over a year, and just yesterday someone was passing me with a lit cigarette and I felt the need to ask for one. I didn't, because I'm supposed to be strong and a changed woman, but still that feeling of craving that cigarette sticks with me. And this is a change for the better, I am now healthier because I stopped smoking, so it's a good change. Change that you notice can also be if you change career or you get a divorce, that is also something you will feel for a long time and most of the time the things you feel the most and give...

How is life supposed to be Life is supposed to be fabulous, and anyone telling you "life is supposed to be hard" or "life is a test" does not live a happy life filled with purpose and passion. Life is quite amazing, have you ever stopped to think about all the little pieces of magic that happens to you when you are in a good mood? Start noticing them. There's so much to enjoy in this life on this planet. We have the most amazing scenery and spectacular views, sunsets that can take your breath away. Have you ever tried to watch when a storm passes?  Watch the trees and the clouds next time, see how the trees and the plants play along and joins the storm in it's rage across the land. Everything s moving with it, whoever tries to resist will be taken down. Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to enjoy the storm and dance to it's notes. When a storm passes in your life,what do you do? Do you go on a hideout and wai...

Do you want to follow your passion and live with purpose? What are you good at and what do you have to offer? What would you do if you could do whatever you wanted to do? Would you travel the world or would you volunteer in a non profit organization? Would you make necklaces or give advice to people? Do you know your own strengths? What makes you all fired up The things that makes your heart beating a little faster and races your energy level, that's what makes you all fired up. That's your passion. When you are told to follow your passion, do you think "yes of course" and then you go all in to rescue all stray dogs on an island of Greece? Probably not. you're thinking, like most of us, " I can't do that, what about my family, what about my job, what about this and that and what if this happens or that goes wrong ..." That's normal, and when you hear about people who left their kids to dig wells in Africa, they are often suffering from bipo...

What is holding you back is your limiting beliefs. There's only so much you can do when your mind is limited. Most of the time you don't even realize that it is your mind that's holding you back. So what do you have to do ... you have to acknowledge your limiting beliefs, put them into words and change their story. Change your limiting beliefs and change your life Changing your limiting beliefs takes time, these are beliefs you've had since early childhood and therefore it takes some real effort to change them. Most have grown up listening to parents talking negatively about a group of people. My parents was always talking about that person in the expensive car who acted like he owned the road. I don't even think the person in the car had to do anything specific, he just had to be on the road and automatically he was talked about as if he was bad. This got stuck to me, and I think I have forwarded this to my daughter unintentionally. That's a blockage in me...

How can i change my life? How often do you think I wish I could change this or If only this was a little more so. . I think we all have these thought from time to time but then we get back into our old routine and forget all about it... Until that day when it pops up again and and we go, Oh, I should have done so and so Tony Robbins says "you're shoulding all over yourselves" and he is right. We sit on our comfortable couches and talk about all the things we should have done and all the things we should be doing. It's time to say "this is something I have to do " The change is there in an instant, when you switch from should to must. The must is a must for any transformation. When you should, you only fooling yourself and your brain stops taking you seriously. When you should too much you have to train your brain to trust you when you say I am doing this, it's a must for me. Think about all the should's you have during a single day. I shoul...

How can I do this when ... The inner conflict that keeps us struggling between "I know I can do this" and "I know I can do this, but.." We are experts of thinking we need some outside recognition to accomplish anything. The deal is that you get all the recognition you need from yourself. If you believe you can do it you can. If you believe you can't do it, you can't. It's so simple and so complex at the same time. How do you get away from - I want to, but.. (and here comes all the excuses of everything outside of yourself) - my mom left me when I was 4 - my dad abused my - my boyfriend cheated - my wife wont let me - my children are too small - my time is too short - my money won't reach ... and the list goes on forever. You see all these people that has accomplished everything you want and what do you think was different for them? How did they make it? Did they have a rich uncle, maybe they had more time in their everyday life to spend on it?...

There's nothing in life that's more powerful that gratitude.  You can have everything you ever wanted in life, but if you bitch and complain all the time you are not happy. Then you can be the poorest person with nothing, no money and no possessions, but he is grateful for all the things in his life and he is completely happy. What does the poor man have to be grateful for, you might think. And I'll tell you!! All the things you take for granted, all the things you have that money can't buy. All the things that are so important for any person to feel any kind of happiness or joy. These are the basic needs of any person rich or poor; friends, family, respect, honor, the air you breath, the breeze on you face, your health, your inner peace, your ability to think, feel and to experience. What you take for granted  The fact that you can look at the sky every day, watch the birds fly over your head, smell the air, hear the leafs shake on a tree, listen to the stillne...

Sometimes you just need a little push Sometimes you need a little push and that push often comes when you are ready or when it's forced on you. There's nothing as action making as a forced situation. The forced feeling often come from ourselves and not the outside world, but it can feel like it's the outside world forcing us, but in fact it is we as people who are sick and tired of how the outside world feels we are forced to change it or we will perish. When you have a situation that makes it feel forced it's just yourself that has reached a limit of "that's it!! No more!" and you take some actions to change the situation to something you want it to be. There are many things that can push you over the edge, but that little push is all it takes and your off to create something better. There are times in life when you think about changing something or you think this would be better if it was like this instead. And I wish I could have that, but OM...
