Did you not know the REAL reason people do what they do? Emotions. Fact.

I saw this picture on a friends FB wall and my initial reactions was - lol and exactly! 

People make decisions (EVERY DECISION) be it in work/love/life, based on emotions and the facts/story/argument is just there to back up what they really want to do in that sitialtion/in life and for whatever reason. If everyone just admitted that to themselves we'd all live in an simpler, more honest, REAL, and happier society..

Sometimes you dont realise straight away the REAL reason why you are doing what you are doin and what you really want and "yes, logically based on this non emotional reason, this is why I am doing this action" Well guess what, its not. Its based on your emotional want.

How can you be a more effective, better, more real person? How can you be happier, not hurt others around you becuase you understand your actions? 

REFLECT on yourself, UNDERSTAND who you are, WHY you are doing the things you are doing and WHAT is that you want (out of the situation, another person, in life) and ADMIT IT to yourself. COMMUNICATE it to those you respect/love, to the world actually is my view.

Why hide who you really are from from yourself or anyone? 

This is about you and others. Living in the truth means you can now actually start to work to achieve your goals. You will be more effective in achieving them. You will not waste your time or other peoples time because you are honest communicative about what you want. This is respect/love for yourself, giving yourself what you want in life to be happy and its also love/respect for others so they can achieve what they want in life to be happy.

We all make our own paths and follow them, make sure your's is a true path. Sounds airy fairy, but I mean it being fake/untruthful is a waste of life in geneal.

Peach, love, happiness and good fortune to all.

Gorgeous made easy - "The Four Agreements" that will make you a happier person and change your life..

A friend of mine is reading this book at the moment - The Four Agreements: Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (Toltec Wisdom)

As always with these kinds of books you shouldn't take every word literally, however understanding the notions and reflecting on yourself to see where you stand with them, will better your life, your happiness. 

I always say this, being happy is simply a perspective. Understanding what your perspective is and working to always change that for the better, will inevitably leave you a happy human being. Go on, give it a try..

The Four Agreements

BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD

Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak out against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

DON’T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY

Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

DON’T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS

Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST

Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self abuse, and self regret.

I found a short logical article that reflects on these points if you want to have a quick squiz.

A friend of mine today posted in his Facebook status:

"Today don't beg, don't ask, just thank God in silence for all the blessings in your life."

Religious or not we should all take sentiment and be humbled by this statement. Appreciating all that we are so lucky to have in this world is what makes one content and ultimate happpy.

There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good. After all. life is too short to be anything but happy.

There is something inspirational in the air. Its only Barak Obama's second day in office, but already you can feel the excitement of him getting down and dirty and fixing some bloody shit in this world.

Too many injustices and finally a white night that appears to have much power.

:)

So inspired to start my blog today
