We never see things for what they are. Only how they appear to us.

The way we perceive the world is conditioned by our beliefs, assumptions from a very young age. Our mind is set to receive what we are ready to experience.

Whether it is the person you live with, your parent or a stranger in line in front of you, those people, and no exceptions, mirror our behaviour, stereotypes, deeply rooted beliefs which we consciously or unconsciously follow.

Look at patterns re-occurring in your life, your relationships, situations repeating themselves over and over again. Do you trust in the good nature of people? Do they cheat? Do they hurt you? Are you satisfied with your workplace?

Life does not happen to us.

Life is designed by our anticipation of what is unravelling. Acknowledge that you are responsible for everything you are experiencing. Every creation.

It can be uncomfortable to take full responsibility for our experiences so far. But it can also be quite liberating and satisfying knowing that we are living on our own terms, or should I write deeply rooted expectations.

Do not be harsh on yourself for not being where you want to be. Every journey is the right journey. There are no mistakes. Uncomfortable situations are our greatest teachers in shaping our preferences. Without them, we wouldn’t realize what serves our growth.

Your core assumptions about yourself will always extract certain behaviours from others. If you lack self-respect, people will hardly comply with your boundaries as well. The external reveals insecurities or fear we cultivate within ourselves.

Yet, this precious feedback allows us to examine absurdities that program our mind. Only by recognizing them are we able to adjust accordingly.

Start with yourself, and the world will follow.

Create from the place of personal power.

The perfect mindset to adopt:

Every life occurrence is here for us, either to teach us or to reveal the illusion in front of us.

Once we start perceiving the world through the lenses of ‘nothing is random’, it becomes easier to navigate through our magnificent life experience without placing ourselves in the victim narrative.

The sad truth is: we get accustomed to negativity. That is why it is so hard to spot it in the first place. Pessimism or realism, whatever you would like to call it, get blended into everyday reality. However, we forget we do have a choice.

Situations are like movies which we can observe, participate in and consciously select our thoughts and feelings about them. Let’s choose to learn from the events of our lives instead of reacting to the past with anger and resentment.

When we realize there is something we want, yet we do not have it yet, we should examine our expectations. Do we believe it is easy for us to achieve it? We want to change the pattern, right? First, we need to get familiar with its structure. Get honest with yourself: what do you want to change in your life? What do you want to cultivate more in your reality? What qualities would you like to perceive in your surroundings? Then, become those qualities.

What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.― Buddha

Decide upon the reality you want to create. Do not dwell if it is possible, how will you achieve this, what must happen for you to go from place A to place B. That is not your concern.

Acknowledge what patterns life plays for you on repeat. Fix that bug. Take responsibility for your emotions. Do not run away, but immerse in them. Shed a light. Recognize how you feel about important aspects of your life.

Change what you believe about love, money, health or family life. Paint the picture you want to present. Feel new emotions. Become love. You cannot attract love. You can only reflect it. Fall in love with your life before anyone falls in love with you. Feel the freedom before you manifest wealth. No one needs money to announce themselves as a free human being. Wake up refreshed and grateful for your health and energetic body, ability to perform various physical tasks.

Learn to see beyond the illusion.

Do not be discouraged by the story of somebody else.

We assume people see this world with the same understanding. That is how conflicts are born. We lack communication. We are afraid to put forth our unique ideas for fear of being misunderstood.

People see the world through a specific set of lenses, the illusion which presents itself to them is conditioned by their beliefs only. Your story is unique. Your story is just as beautiful and important as theirs. Your story is yours only, and you are in control of how you tell the story by the ideas you choose to believe in.

What we hold within projects the reality we experience. To change the surrounding, one needs to change the core of its being, the assumptions about life, the emotions inside us, the perspective we hold within of the world outside.

Until you change your core beliefs, until you change your inner world, nothing outside will shift. You will experience the same events over and over again.

Life always reflects back to you. Nature will always reflect back to you. People will always be your most precious teachers. Acknowledge your beliefs about this world and work around them.

Whatever situation is happening, You can act with fear or choose trust. You can react with anger or choose understanding.

With mindfulness, you can conquer the world.

You can mindfully change your inner beliefs. Meaning, you get to control your reactions.

When you let go of old programming, your perspective significantly expands.

What you once enjoyed doing no longer satisfies you. And situations that once caused you discomfort no longer bother you.

The colours are brighter. Food tastes better.

Self-growth happens when you mindfully choose that past experiences have no control over your mood. You accept them for what they are. And decide to make the best of the lesson. The new version of you has been born.

Select your thoughts with care to direct them towards the desire. We can use the brain to change how we process events, and in turn, it changes how we react to things.

Your thoughts are not random. In fact, nothing about you is random. You are unique. You are one of a kind.

The Universe will always support you in your core beliefs. The Universe does not differentiate whether they support your dreams or not. The Universe responds to vibrations.

Once you change the internal perception of every detail of your world around you, the external will follow suit. That is the Law.
