One of the most powerful and important human abilities is the ability of imagination.

All the progress of mankind that has been achieved so far wouldn’t be possible without it! That is how important imagination is.

Everything we see around us has begun in the moment someone imagined it in their mind.

Most people do not use or even abuse this ability, imagining unwanted scenarios in their heads.

Given the amount of negative news, but also movies full of violence, many are slipping into the destructive use of the imagination.

Before I tell you how to start using imagination to work for you, it is important to pay attention to what content you are exposing your mind to.

Once you start filtering this, there will be more room to imagine what you want to accomplish.

But first and foremost, realize the importance of your imagination. It is a creative power that shapes your future.

Work smarter, not harder. You’ve probably heard this many times.

But what does it mean? How to apply this?

Hard work is NOT crucial for success.

What matters is WHAT you do and HOW you do it.

I often work with people who are diligent and ambiciozan. They work very hard.

But the results, despite so much effort and work, are not satisfactory.

Although, like you, they are aware of the importance of working smarter, and not necessarily harder or more, they do not know how to apply it in practice.

I myself often emphasize the importance of action and the next step before you.

But if that next step isn’t strategically thought out, you’ll probably run a marathon on detours! And then, even if you get to your desired destination, you’ll be too tired to enjoy it.

You don't want that. Nobody does.

So before you take the next step, think strategically about it.

Let your steps be in line with the strategy you put in place to achieve the vision you desire.

Taking random steps, especially when one is at odds with the other takes you to a detour.

A clear vision, followed by a strategy and precise next steps leads you to top results with the least effort.

I read a quote this morning that says that if we want to build self-confidence we need to focus on our successes and forget about failures.

This is not a path to self-confidence, it’s a path to self-deception.

Whether we want to admit it to ourselves or not, there are things we did well and things we didn’t.

Whether we want to admit it to ourselves or not, there are many virtues we have, but also flaws.

Want to have true self-confidence? Face yourself.

Look at your successes and virtues, yes.

But also look at your flaws and failures with your eyes wide open.
Give yourself understanding. Do the best you can. Not more. But not less either.

It is human to make mistakes, and we cannot avoid it. But we can learn from them.

We’re not perfect and we all have flaws, so what?

Do we need to close our eyes to these flaws and failures in order to to feel good about ourselves, at least briefly?

Don’t close your eyes to anything. Face yourself instead. Fully and completely.

You are not determined by your failures or shortcomings, just as you are not determined by your successes and virtues.

You determine yourself by the way you relate to them.

Want more confidence? Be gentle with yourself. Do the best you can, but also have understanding.

We are all work in progress, and we are learning day by day. Perfection exists only in our head, never in reality.

Expose those absurd beliefs. This will lead you to true self-confidence.

Are you ready?" Klaus asked finally.
"No," Sunny answered.
"Me neither," Violet said, "but if we wait until we're ready we'll be waiting for the rest of our lives, Let's go.”
(L. Snicket)

Are you waiting to be ready?

It is true that we need to be ready for some decisions, but even then the readiness we need will not come by itself, but we are the ones who are doing something to prepare ourselves for it.

There is a big difference between this and the illusion of waiting for ideal conditions or the ideal readiness, which the mind deceives you with. There are no ideal conditions. You will wait forever, forgetting how precious the time we have is. And limited.

Don’t wait for anything. If you really want it, go for it. If preparation is needed, get ready. But don’t wait.

Overthinking isn’t helpful. Ever.

It creates problems and doubt and distracts you from your path.

It makes things complicated and harder than they really are.

If you’re stuck or struggling, it is most likely because of overthinking.

What’s the cure for that?

Stop overthinking.
Stop overanalyzing.
Decide what you want and go all in.

Simplify.
That’s how you’ll get clarity.

No matter how hard you try, action will never lead you to fulfillment, unless it is aligned with you: aligned with your values, with what you find meaningful and purposeful, and what you love.

Observe the world, but trust your inner vision. Let things come and go naturally, as they should. Trust the process of life. Open your heart and taste pure freedom. 💚

I've helped hundreds of people achieve their biggest visions and bring their business and life to the next level by helping them unhook from their emotions and direct their energy in the vision they want to build from a pure state of power.

I've seen people enter their most powerful state once they are free from emotional conditioning. Then, they started creating the life they want with such ease and speed that they could not even have envisioned before.

And the new vision is significantly different from anything they thought they wanted before!

Do you choose security, or do you choose what you want?

Many people choose security (a false sense of security) and miss a lot in life.
They don't choose what they really desire. Instead, they choose what they don't want because of the false feeling of security. Even though this false sense of security is not security at all, but rather a familiarity!

Every time I didn't follow a sense of security but went towards my desires, the best things happened. Including the work I do today.

The only way to get what you desire is to stop choosing what you don't want, justifying such decisions with excuses you know well aren't valid.

Instead of following the false sense of security, why don't you face it?

Face the uncertainty.
Face the fear.
Face your bullsh*t stories why you can't do that.
Become secure in your own imagination! Become secure in your own ingenuity and creativity, and just GO FOR what you want!

https://dijanajuric.co.uk/coaching/happiness-is-not-a-matter-of-decision/

Happiness is a matter of decision. If you wanna be happy, choose happy. Is it that simple? In seeking of happiness, have we forgotten to simply choose it?

06/06/2021

There is a misconception that happiness is simply a matter of choice. I disagree.

Happiness can be experienced as a consequence of our long-term choices and decisions, but happiness itself is neither a choice nor decision.

Although sometimes copying other people’s strategies, style and approach may seem a good idea, and it may bring good results, there is no true excellence there.

Your excellence lies in your authenticity.

Extraordinary results, and that means success in your terms in EVERY way, can only be achieved when you unleash your true authenticity.
