My Definition of Pain.
As you go through life, as humans we naturally evolve from the old ways of humanity and the way we problem solve. A lot of us are just culturally oppressed or just simply taught the wrong things. Brain food is essential in todays battle for mental health. Looking at what we are up against is not an easy task. It takes a plethora of inner peace and inner strength. Speak boldly and from the heart! Train the mind and the body will follow. When you can feel this start to brew in your being, don't fight it, don't get frustrated, don't even question it. I once heard before, "when you roll with the punches it hurts less." Pain is physical and mental which is why a lot of times we tell ourselves we are okay or just flat out broken. When you shake off the pain you realize how strong you can be from feeling weak you start to remind yourself that you're human and it is okay to feel this way. You may not want to feel your pain but its there and there to stay. Life would have no purpose If all we felt was pleasure, you must find that balance between your pleasures, things that purely make you feel good about yourself, and pain, whatever pain means to you. Ignoring pain is one of the worst habits you can have in this human experience. It wont go away because you choose not to focus on it and pain runs deeper than you think and if not tended to can create not only deeper wounds for you but for other people around you. Pain can stem from many things; caring about others opinion, lack of selflove, or just simply not understanding something. These are okay to feel and sometimes all we need is a reminder of that. I feel like going through the motions and then growing through it is the most positive way to go about it. Its not about comparing your pain to others, its not about how bad it hurts, its not about making other people feel your pain but how you positively bounce back from your traumatizing experience. Battle scars are important only when you use them to elevate your conscious not to hurt more people. Sometimes we do it without even knowing it which leads to more pain. Everyone experiences different pain for a reason, we bare with it so the people after us have a positive example of how to go about pain. Some people might feel your pain, some may not. What it boils down to is how are you using your pain to heal yourself first, which leads to helping heal the world. Our pain is what pulls the creativity from our heart. You can choose to be an artist of destruction or an artist of creation. Its all up to you! Its your pain you choose to do what you want with it. Its up to you to seek the rest. So make the most of your pain this is all from my own personal pain and life experiences. I used to deal with pain the old, outdated way but now as I take the necessary steps to evolve and renew my conscious as a human I seek within and go about pain completely differently now. Yes I still have scars and battle wounds deeper than an ocean but I choose to fill it with purpose everyday. I am alive, breathing and thankful. That's true healing! The way our souls were created, this healing process will take time, dedication hard work and just simply the act of getting comfortable being uncomfortable. Life is what you make it, your soul is yours don't let anyone take it. BRAIN FOOD!

Who walks who?
When you walk the dog who walks who? Do you power walk and the dog must be by your side the entire time? Or do you let the dog sniff every nook and cranny? If the walk is for the dog ultimately then shouldn't you allow them to enjoy it? But this is just a metaphor as I was really referring to your brain. Learn to walk it and not let it walk you. The mind can be a beautiful and blissful place once you learn to silence the noise. If you can do this one thing every day at least once you'll surely be on your way to success. Every time your mind starts to wander pause and take a deep breath while slowly closing your eyes. focus your mind on the long slow incoming breath and then on the longer than normal slow exhale. In that moment if at no other time in the day your mind was completely focused for at least that one breath. Imagine with me what one conscious breath can do for you, that peace is on the other side waiting. Before long that one breath will turn into so much more and true peace from within will prevail. Here you will find your real happiness for it will never be satisfied in any other way. When your done looking out, look in and this breath technique is the beginning to bliss. Find your true inner peace and be happy, as happiness in contagious and your smile could change someone's life. Be the change you want to see in the world for it all starts within you. Approach life mindfully from the heart and all good things will come. When you find that peace you will find the stresses of the world are no longer an issue. This is what one conscious breath can do for you.

What is Gratitude?
What is gratitude? Gratitude is the quality of being thankful. It also means the readiness to show appreciation for kindness and to be willing to return kindness. Gratitude is a feeling of thankfulness for what you have and not always wanting more. When you are grateful, you acknowledge the goodness in your life and feel positive emotions, enjoy and relish good experiences, and continue to build strong relationships.

L.A.G
Lag in many ways has taken over the human population. Our bodies are so run down they are always lagging. We are constantly angered all the time with the lag in our lives. Whether it be cell lag, streaming lag or jet lag they are all the same. We as the human race have become so impatient and entitled that we let a little bit of a delay ruin day. We have allowed the little things in life to ruin our minds. Constantly thinking about the things we can't change. We all need a reboot, just like the computer over time gets run down and a simple reboot usually resolves the issue. Our bodies need a reset, we need to get back to the basics. We over complicate everything and force ourselves to be run down and over worked. Why do we do this to ourselves, why do we allow ourselves to get so run down before we take notice? We need to listen to our bodies for they are the most complicated, sophisticated and powerful machines on the planet. Yet most never pay any mind to the greatest invention of all, US. We know more about so many things yet we never learned about ourselves. Take the time to discover the beauty within, there is so much to be found. You are a special soul, we all are and we forget that when we let life run us over. Take back the control of your life and start living. Start finding your passions again, why do we forget to do the things we love? Why do we let our work dictate the velocity of our life? Is it laziness or fear of the unknown that keeps you from doing what you love? What stops you from waking up everyday with a smile ready to tackle the world? What stops you from make the choices that will make you happy? What stops you from being you?

Conceive, Believe, Achieve
Have you, that one goal in life, which you would desperately love to achieve? Now I'm not talking about just your run of the mill goals, such as losing 10 kilograms of weight this year, or saving up $5,000 to go on a holiday next year, I'm talking about a life transforming goal. I'm talking about a goal that will turn your current mediocre and unsatisfying life, into one that is enriched with happiness, success, and prosperity. There's certainly nothing wrong with having other goals, such as the two examples I mentioned of above, but we should always have that one goal that will help us discover our purpose, help us to create success in our life, help us to achieve greatness, help us to be fulfilled and satisfied with our life, and help us to find happiness and prosperity. We should even be ensuring our goal is tied to delivering benefit, joy, and help, to the lives of others also. Such goals are extremely challenging, and take a massive amount of patience, resilience, perseverance, and hard work, to achieve, yet in completing the journey, they bring us such an immense level of satisfaction and happiness, because we can reflect on all the failures, all the rejections, all the setbacks, and all the hardships, that we have managed to overcome in the process.

Read This If Nobody Texted You Good Morning.
Is it too late to say it? because it can be so difficult to be on your own. The nights and the mornings are the worst. There’s something about going to bed by yourself, or waking up to an empty bed and no messages that makes you feel empty and hollow. It feels like no one cares, like you don’t even matter, like no one would even notice if you just disappeared off of the face of the earth.
