Message From the Universe: Let TODAY Be the First Day of Your Amazing Life

"Why wouldn't everything in your life start getting much, much easier?

Why wouldn't those things you now fear, dissolve into dust?

Why wouldn't the rest of your life be the best of your life?

I mean, you've NEVER been as awesome, or wise, or deserving, as you are today.

Huh? Huh? Huh?

The Universe"

As we tend to live too much in the past, feel horrible about what we've done or not done, how much we screwed up and not do the things we always wanted to do, complain that we are not where we hoped to be, feeling depressed about the overall outcome of our life and so on and so forth. Why cry over spilled milk right? What is done is done, no need to go back and start reminiscing of the past and feel bad about it. The only thing you can do today and move forward and learn from your mistakes. You are more experience, have more knowledge as to NOT repeat the same mistakes over again, and also take things a little bit easier. As we get older, we learn not to care much about what others think about us. Fear becomes just an illusion, a mirage that is here for a brief moment and disappear afterwards. Why put so much emphasis on something that is constructed by our own mind, based on our existent insecurities? Why focus so much on the negative? Every day is a different day and you can start by taking charge of your own life, your own destiny and not let anyone budge into your goals and dreams. Today is the start of your new life.

As long as you indulge yourself with a positive attitude towards life, there is NO reason why life couldn't easier. I am not saying to fool yourself and deny the challenges that will hit you throughout your life, but as long as you do not let these challenges bring you down and keep you there permanently, you are good to go. You can work day in a day out without a break and still come out failing miserably. It will be devastating at times but do not let this failure break you in pieces. You need to get back up, learn from your mistakes and avoid making them all over again. Every minute counts and you want to utilize your time efficiently. Once you find your calling, put everything you got on it, study it and see how you can make your life, and the one of others as happy as possible. Do not be like all others out there just accepting their faith and not work on making any changes in their lives. They just accept to stay miserable and to afraid to take a stand and make a change. Never allow yourself to live your life this way. You are given ONLY one life to live, so live it well and happy!

Importance Of Failure

Failure is a word that no one wants to hear. It is the biggest fear of a human being yet it is faced by every human being on earth at least once in their life. We need to learn how to deal with this word 'failure'.

A lot of people in this world give up on their lives just because they couldn't achieve something they desire. People ignore the fact that failure helps the man to distinguish what he did wrong.

Here are some tips which can help you get into the positive side of life and change the failure into victory.

1. SAY NO TO GIVING UP

Before starting anything that you think will give you success, promise yourself that you will never give up if you failed at this particular task. This promise to self makes your mind ready for both failure and triumphs. But what if you didn't do that in the start? Then always remember that it is never too late. If you think that now you can do nothing or you are over, you are just making an excuse.

2. LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES

This is the opportunity that you should not let go of. Suppose you are in a football ground. You are playing alone and there is a goalkeeper. You make an aim and strike the football but the goalkeeper stops it. This goalkeeper is life. It is challenging you at every point and it will continue to do so till you take your last breathe. You strike the ball for 9 times in a row and fail. But in the tenth attempt, you strike it in such a manner that you retrieved those 9 'in a row failures'. That's how it works. You cannot quit till you leave the ground. And if you leave the ground, you gave up. Those 9 attempts proved that you somehow learnt from your mistakes.

3. NEVER THINK THAT YOU'VE GOT ONLY PLAN A

The worst thing you can do after failing at some project is thinking that it was the only plan you could ever think of. Don't ever underestimate yourself. There is always another plan. If plan A fails Plan B and if plan B fails Plan C. If you are into achieving something, no one or nothing in this world can stop you rather all the world will conspire to make you achieve it.

4. POSITIVE MINDSET

This is the most important thing that you need to live a contented life. Always think positive. Spread positivity. Never let yourself down. If you bring negativity around you, it will not let you achieve your dreams. Positivity is all we need to grow and establish ourselves in this world.

People need to let go of the bad things or failures faced and should start prioritizing over positivity. By doing this particular act, they can achieve their life goals and master the game of life.

Learn From Your Mistakes

“As you begin to take action toward the fulfillment of your goals and dreams, you must realize that not every action will be perfect. Not every action will produce the desired result. Not every action will work. Making mistakes, getting it almost right, and experimenting to see what happens are all part of the process of eventually getting it right.     

Jack Canfield

21 Things I Wish I Knew When I Was 21

1. Learn to love mistakes.

Always remember to learn from your mistakes—and keep growing. Don’t doubt yourself so much. One day you’ll be able look back on your “oops” moments and laugh at them. They are inevitable.

2. Say yes often.

Sometimes stepping outside of your comfort zone and trying something new can be terrifying. But learn to say yes more. It’ll help you to open up, try new things—and bring you new opportunities.

3. Less is more.

Don’t try to be a jack-of-all-trades. Focus on being really good at just a few things. Hard work is wasted when it’s scattered in too many directions.

4. Tell people how you feel.

If someone hurt your feelings, be honest with them. If you’re having an incredible date with someone and it feels absolutely perfect, let them know what you’re thinking. When you hang up the phone with Mom or Dad, tell them “I love you.” Life’s too short not to say it—and you may never really know when you’ll have the opportunity to say how you feel again.

5. Learn to love change.

The one thing you can count on is change. It will happen, and you can’t avoid it. It won’t always be easy, but change happens for a reason. Learn to be OK with it.

6. You don’t have as much to lose as you think.

Oftentimes, fear of loss is what prevents us from pursuing our dreams. When you’re right out of college, you don’t have much to lose. Why not start that business you always wanted? I guarantee you, your worst-case scenario is not that bad. And moving back in with Mom and Dad isn’t the end of the world.

7. Stop worrying so much about what other people think.

Letting the opinions of your peers influence your decisions is one of the worst things you can do. You’ll realize later just how foolish it was. The only thing that is important is what you think and feel about yourself.

8. Be honest with yourself and others.

Always be true to yourself and others. Period. Honesty gives you peace of mind, and peace of mind is priceless. Relationships built on the foundation of lies won’t last.

9. Meet as many new people as you can.

It may not always be clear to you, but the people you meet can help you. Treat everyone like you’d like to be treated and be willing to make new friends. The world is smaller than you think. You’ll be amazed at who is connected to whom.

10. Find time to be alone.

Being alone can be wonderful. Make time for you to hang out with you. Be your own best friend—take yourself out to lunch, take yourself out to a movie, go on a trip alone. I know, the thought of being alone can be overwhelming and scary. But you’ll learn a lot about yourself by just hanging out with you.

11. Learn to ask great questions.

You don’t know everything and odds are you’ll find yourself around people who are a lot smarter than you. Stay curious and ask great questions. Listen more than you talk and keep asking. Some people have incredible stories and lessons to give to you. You just have to willing to ask.

12. Leverage what you’ve got.

Stevie Wonder can’t see, but he has an exceptional ear for music. He exploited that talent and his passion for music. Today he has 25 Grammy awards to show for it. Learn to work with what you’ve got instead of complaining about your situation.

13. Make people feel good.

Never underestimate the power of a simple compliment. Make the people around you feel good, and the world will return the favor. People seem to have a way of remembering the people who made them feel special.

14. Invest in yourself.

Never. Stop. Learning. Yes, school ends at some point, but life is a journey, and if you’re not growing, you’re dying. Learn a new skill, read a new book, learn a language, take a class, learn to dance, learn to play an instrument. It doesn’t matter what you do as long as you invest in yourself and you keep growing.

15. Find something challenging you love doing.

Find something that you’re passionate about and that challenges you. You’ll feel the most rewarded when you do.

16. Learn to love yourself.

You can’t possibly live a fulfilled life until you learn to love yourself completely. When you look in the mirror, tell yourself you’re handsome, or beautiful. Say it often. You’re unique and no one looks quite like you. Embrace it. Love it. Other people will only love you more for it.

17. “Send the elevator back down.” –Kevin Spacey

Once you find yourself in a position to help bring others up to where you are, send the elevator back down. It can be lonely at the top. Help others get to where you are. Mentor, give back, contribute.

18. Enjoy the journey.

We all have goals and aspirations. You’re probably working toward something right now. Achieving what you’ve been working for can be anticlimactic, so learn to love the journey and appreciate all the little failures and wins. You’ll wish you’d stayed in the moment more once you’ve “made it.”

19. It’s you versus you. That’s it.

Stop comparing yourself to others. You might never be the strongest person in the gym, the richest guy on a Forbes list or the fastest guy in the marathon. If that upsets you, you’re missing the point. Instead, concentrate on being better today than you were yesterday. If you keep doing that, you’ll be successful. It may not happen right away, but if you stay focused on improving just a little every day, you’ll amaze yourself.

20. Take big risks.

Go after what you want. Quit your job. Jump out of an airplane. Start a business. Walk up to the beautiful girl eating lunch alone and say hi. You won’t always succeed, but you won’t always fail, either.

21. Rediscover who you were born to be and be that.

Somewhere along the line we forget what made us come alive as kids—the things that used to make us feel amazing. Some of us are born to be writers, poets, musicians, artists or entrepreneurs. Take the time to relearn what makes you feel alive and do more of that. Don’t waste your life fulfilling someone else’s dreams. What the world needs is more people doing what they love.

Life is short but incredible. Wake up and enjoy the ride.
