YOUR POWER IS ACTION-TAKE CHARGE- DEVISE A PLAN-MAKE MOVES -

DON’T LIVE IN THE FUTURE. LIVE IN THE NOW! 

WHEN YOU STUMBLE FORGIVE YOURSELF . RISE UP AND TRY AGAIN! 

CONFRONT YOUR OWN EMOTIONS 

ASK YOURSELF WHY YOU REACT IN CERTAIN WAYS. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME COMPLAINING ABOUT WHAT OTHERS DO. CHANGING THEM IS VERY UNLIKELY, BUT YOU CAN CHANGE YOURSELF. HOW YOU RESPOND TO THEIR MISTAKES.

+FOCUS ON YOURSELF +

“FOOLS WE ARE , LETTING TRIFLES UPSET OUR PEACE. “

OUR MIND IS LIKE A BUTTERFLY THAT FLITS FROM FLOWER TO FLOWER.  

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE TIL YOU QUIT.

IT’S EASY TO TURN AWAY FROM WHAT’S HARD WHEN IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE AT FIRST. TO ATTAIN GREATNESS IN ANY DIFFICULT ENDEAVOR ONE MUST PERSEVERE. || PRACTICE DESPITE NEGATIVITY ||

EMBARK ON YOUR TOUGH JOURNEYS 

ACTIONS W/ GOOD INTENTIONS BRING PEACE. TRY 2 B A GOOD HUMAN

- - EACH DAY WE BLEED ENERGY, RESISTING FACTS, LAMENTING OUR FATE, WORRYING OVER WHAT’S TO COME. All WE CAN DO IS FIND OUR OWN REASONS TO KEEP GOING. - -

Understand yourself and those around you.

Mental Health

The Stoic Warrior (continued) 

Mental weapons are short statements that help you when your thoughts become negative, unreasonable, against judgements that might b false. Just like a boxer w/ his fists , keep these “weapons” ready at hand .•••Whatever you imagine often shapes your mind : Your soul takes the dye of your impressions.” •••

*Keep Your Mental Weapons Ready*

IN THE MORNING TAKE A MOMENT TO PAUSE , TO GET READY FOR THE DAY

PRACTICE WHAT IF-What could go wrong, what obstacles might get in my way. Recognize the worst case as an option BUT IMAGINE SURVIVING IT. You are still breathing, you are still alive, You got through it!

~~Many Things Are Beyond Our Control~~

CAN YOU IMPROVE THE SITUATION -THEN ACT ON IT IF NO LET IT GO.  

-Be Independent of the opinion of others-It’s not your job to b what others want you to b, your job is to b a good human ONLY . {Go do what makes your heart shine.} I am a flame, unapologetically burning bright. I will not dim my light for the sake of another’s sight. I act for myself, my will, my way, my right.

Do Not Waste What Is Left Of Your Life Worrying About Others

“WHAT IS ESSENTIAL?”

^Most of the time the things we say or do are not necessities, get rid of them and you will gain both time and calm ^“We should carefully choose where to place our focus on and what we expend our precious hours on.”** ON EACH OCCASION ASK YOURSELF-Is this necessary? Does it make me happy or does it cause me stress? Keep asking yourself this daily ..Cut out the noise and focus on what truly matters to you. **

IF YOU HAD THE COURAGE OF A FALCON, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? 

Do you have a person you look up to ? As friction greets you in the day, ask yourself what would they do? Do this to inspire yourself.. Learn from them. How they dealt with obstacles and setbacks. How they succeeded in spite of everything thrown their way .

Would You Dive And Conquer Or Turn And Fly Away? 

_ IMAGINED WORLDS_

WE GET TOO CAUGHT UP IN OUR IMAGINED WORLDS. THE THINGS THAT SHAKE US ARE MOSTLY FROM OUR IMAGINATION, THE MORE WE LINGER IN THESE IMAGINED WORLDS THE STRONGER OUR FEARS BECOME. WE GET CAUGHT IN A GRIP OF PANIC, IMAGINING THE WORST CASE SCENARIOS. THE ROOT OF FEAR IS THE UNKNOWN. TO TAME IT , INSPECT IT WITH REASON. IS YOUR FEAR REAL? OR IS IT A FIGMENT OF YOUR IMAGINATION. WE MUST LEARN TO LET GO OF WHAT WE CAN’T CONTROL -

\\  FEAR IS A DREAM KILLER  \\

[TRY YOUR BEST ] DO WHAT YOU CAN WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. 

If fate has dealt you a less than perfect hand, you must not allow yourself to despair. You must play the cards you have been given and strive to make the most of them. Just focus on what you can control.

STOP ACTING LIKE A PUPPET 

We are adrift in a sea of impressions, tossed and thrown, not daring to question the forces that pull us around. Puppets at the mercy of those who pull. Work on becoming the maestro of your own mind. PERCEIVE AT LAST THAT THERE IS WITHIN YOU SOMETHING SUPERIOR AND MORE DIVINE THAN THAT WHICH RAISES PASSIONS AND MOVES YOU LIKE A MERE PUPPET,Do not let the chaos outside control U.

“Master The Art Of Control”

HAVE YOU EVER SAVORED THE BEAUTY OF LIFE? 

WHAT’S THE FIRE IN YOUR BONES ?!! 

”TO WHAT USE AM I PUTTING MY SOUL RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS THE GUIDING PART OF ME.. IS IT THAT OF A CHILD, WOMAN, MAN, TYRANT, PUPPET, BEAST? START PURPOSEFULLY FILLING YOUR DAYS WITH THINGS OF VALUE. PAUSE BEFORE DIVING HEADLONG INTO ANY ACTIVITY AND CONSIDER IF IT WILL TRULY BENEFIT YOU . DOES IT BRING YOU CLOSER TO YOUR GOALS?

•THE ONLY THING WE POSSESS •

IS THIS MOMENT, THIS BREATH, THIS HEART BEAT AND THAT IS WHERE WE SHOULD ANCHOR OURSELF. ••NARROW THE VIEW TO NOT B DROWNED BY TROUBLES DIRE, PERSEVERANCE , THE KEY , ONE STEP AT A TIME HIGHER••

These are meditations from Marcus Aurelis(A stoic philosopher and Roman Emperor who wrote these to himself to serve as a guide on how to live a good life)

Problem Solving

+The Stoic Warrior+

TRUE SELF LOVE CAN BE PRESENT IN ANYTHING THAT ADDS VALUE TO YOUR LIFE FROM YOUR DIET-TO YOUR SPIRITUAL BELIEFS -BEING CONTENT WITH WHO YOU ARE.

Self Love..

Take The Time To Center Yourself.

{People are successful in spite of Challenges and Failures because they didn’t give up!!}

In Spite Of..

When you are upset because someone doesn’t like you, it’s your ego. You validate your existence based on another’s approval.

Our Ego Wants To Feel Adored

“What you consume, consumes you-what consumes you controls your life.”

Be Careful Of What You Consume 

* BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR JOB THERE ARE THOSE WITHOUT ONE**BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT CLEANING YOUR HOUSE, REMEMBER SOME PEOPLE DON’T HAVE ONE ** Most of us rarely acknowledge that we have what others want. Just think of the amount of people who live through war, those who are in the Army(Sometimes they might not want to b-Some places it’s mandatory -2025 BTS) Those who live in chaotic environments .

+Gratitude+

<ol><li>Identify How you are feeling. </li><li>Why do you feel this way?(Alot of our beliefs are based on other’s opinions, their judgements) </li><li>Don’t determine your worth on what others think. Your joy is not dependent on others</li><li>Replace those thoughts with empowering ones..LOVE YOURSELF!!!!</li><li>We devote time to destructive , negative thoughts but not enough to positive ones. </li><li> The past is gone but we keep past hurts alive . We keep our mind there . </li></ol>
