Knotty Mind

Imagine you have had a tough week. You worked hard, endured a lot of stress and you feel depleted and irritable. You find yourself at a social event, but your heart is not really in it. Part of you would like to just go home, but you know that’s not your best option, so you decide to make the best of it.

So what do you do? First you need to be aware of your current state. You recognize that you are tired, a little uncomfortable. You notice that your attitude toward other people is not as charitable as it could be. You notice the thoughts that are flowing through your mind. You observe them as data, but don’t get caught in the fallacy that they are fact. Your annoyance is viewed as a transient state brought on by various conditions. You recognize that you could stay in your anti-social funk or you could use skillful means for changing it. You decide to change it. You get clear on your intention to change your state.

You now are no longer the worn out shlub who walked into this room. You are a radiant being. You are ready to enjoy the event. You can meet and greet acquaintances and strangers without fear. You can be spontaneous and charming or quiet and receptive, as the occasion requires.

Laugh At Fear

"One of the mental toughness secrets of the world class is laughing in the face of pressure, pain, and fear. No matter how big the problem may seem, it won't matter in 100 years. A good mental strategy is doing the opposite of the masses. When the masses are freaking out, you should be laughing. This isn't frivolous, it's street smart. The middle class performer waking up at night worried about the economy is the victim of his/her own fear based thinking. Scared people make short term, irrational decisions. Stay strong and clear headed by hanging loose and laughing at the folly of life. If you can, you'll be happier and more creative in problem solving when times are tough, and you'll be unstoppable and even happier when good times return. The million dollar bonus is once you've stared fear in the face and prospered, you'll never be afraid of tough times again."


-Steve Siebold, CSP

"Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment."

"Let's not allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. Remember "Life is too short to be little"."

"When we hate our enemies, we are giving them power over us: power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health, and our happiness."

"Today is our most precious possession. It is our only sure possession."

"It isn't what you have or who you are or where you are or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about it."

"Remember, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. "

"Success is getting what you want..Happiness is wanting what you get."

"You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind."

"One reason why birds and horses are not unhappy is because they are not trying to impress other birds and horses."

"When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures bristling with prejudice and motivated by pride and vanity."


~Dale Carnegie

Bо время боя

Bо время боя воин должен пребывать в состоянии безмыслия, ум должен постоянно быть в состоянии движения и не фиксироваться ни на чем, чтобы воспринимать все и вовремя принимать необходимые решения.
