Keep Falling Deeper If You Need To Learn Your Lesson

by Stephen Poff

Why not?

Yes. You could loose all your money, your car, your home, your wife and / or your children, your family could hate you, you could have nothing to eat. But hell it’s worth it! – if you gonna accept the consequences and will be willing to learn.

Because sometimes we really need to fall deep down until we’ve learned something essential. We know that a lot of really successful people had a hard youth, not much money and problems. But they’ve overcome this obstacles, they’ve survived and: they’ve learned. They got courage, they know how to break the greatest walls on the way to your dreams. That’s why I recommend:

If you are falling already, keep falling until you learn your lesson. Then never fall again so deep.

Remember that you should only fall once in your lifetime in the same way. Then never again. Be open to every emotion you’ll feel, keep your clarity even in the worst case scenario and you’ll gain so much power, strenght, courage and energy from your failure, that you’ll have the energy to run up that hill again – and even much further than the point from where you’ve fallen down.

But never fall down without learning your lession or you’ll need to repeat it again. And again. And again. I want you to understand that failure is the real success. Even if you are going to fall a hundred times until you’ll be successful, in reality you have succeeded a hundred times before putting all peaces together to unravel the mystery.

And really: The best way to get clarity about a topic is through an ultimate failure. When you’ll realize what matters the most, get up. Your dream is waiting.

You are not strange, but you are not the same

Face it. You are different from anyone else on this planet. Maybe some guys tell you that you are strange and there are several reasons for them to do this. But don’t complain, just be thankful. Because they show you what you already know inside. You are different than the regular citizen. You’ve got other thoughts, other hobbies, other interests. Maybe even already other goals.
But remember: You Are Not Alone.
We are nothing better than the regular citizen. We are all equal, but just different in our actions. Everyone on this planet is unique, even if some of us share the same interests. Don’t be arrogant, you are not better than anyone else. If you think that way, your personal development isn’t very high, but that’s great. Why? Because you’ll have still a long way to go where you can learn a lot of great stuff.

What do you do if you are not the same?

Enjoy your life and leave a legacy of great achievements. Do something special, create value and enjoy growth. Life’s a gift, even if you can’t believe it’s paths your gonna be still in the flow..

How To Focus On The Path Of No Destination

Imagine a cowboy riding into the sunset, on a path with no destionation and no clear end. Do you feel the freedom and lightness? You can gain it, too. Imagine yourself without fears concerning the future, without doubts about being on the right paith, with a feeling of being alive right now – more than ever. If you want to feel like this keep reading.

The 3 keys to a carefree life

The following 3 keys are essential but simple tools leading to a life with no worries. If you really want to feel the full potential of living free and light try to bring them to perfection.

1. Truth

Start with this one. Being true is very unpopular today and needs a lot of courage. We tend to behave the complete opposite of what lies within us, of what we would love to show, just to please others. To be accepted. But we’ll never be truly accepted if we won’t accept ourselves, because anyone who is willing to accept us is willing to accept our false identity. That’s why it’s crucial to be true to yourself. If you can be true to yourself you will accept your real self, giving others the possibility to do the same. But without truth there will be no acceptance, which ironically anyone dissembling is seeking.

2. Independence

Anything you do, you do to get or become something or someone. In our western society the whole focus lies upon the goal – the purpose – the destination. We are seeking more and more productivity to get more things done, to get more money, to buy more possesions, to gain more time later. The bottom line is we’re searching for hapiness. But real hapiness rises from independence of: goals, money, possesions, time – or persons. Independence gains the highest value in a relationship with true intentions. Stop being attached to your partner – that’s not real love! Instead of this be thankful for getting love, for the possibility of giving love and appreciate any second with your partner. With this approach any obstacles can be overcome with love or lead to a great friendship after ending the relationship.
If attachment is noticed, behave like mentioned and let go of it to maintain independence. All attachment is rooted in fear.

3. Faith

This last one is the most important. You need to have faith in everything you do and everyone you deal with more intensive. Don’t be pessimistic and don’t try to predict the future. Maybe someone will cheat on you, or maybe he won’t. Maybe it will be alright, but maybe it’ll crash. Who the hell knows?! Think optimistic, rely on a positive attitude towards life. Your perspective determines your life experiences. If this noisy voice in your head starts to yell at you again, just yell back:

“I don’t worry. I’ve got faith.
I’ll handle it!”

with such a attitude nothing what happens will upset you anymore, believe me. Be aware of the power of a simple “I trust you.” This won’t only transform your own reality but also your partners’ reality. Also trust yourself. Believe in your own power, tell yourself nothing else but the truth and be aware that usually nothing bad will happen. And if it does? You’ll handle it! This takes you to a position of power where you can act from. Don’t digg your own grave – instead of that spread your wings and fly.

Don’t be such a Pollyanna (blindly optimistic) – act now!

Many doubts are dealing with the problem of being passive, being a victim of your own blindness. Even if it’s really great to handle your life this way – don’t be passive. If you will think in such terms and stop acting, you won’t get any better than being pessimistic. Indeed you are going to be broke, lose your partner, your job or your house. Let’s face it. You need to pay your bills, get some food and sleep every night. But you don’t need to live with a pessimistic attitude which ruins your life experience. Enjoy your life all along the line.

The Path Of No Destination

What’s the purpose of all this? Hehe. Maybe just adopt this 3 keys to a careless life and get some insights. Be active.
What is the Path Of No Destination? It’s the path everyone of us choose sometimes in life, not knowing where life may lead you.  It’s the path you creep on while searching for it’s purpose. Often we get anxious, confused and desperate because of not knowing where we’re going. But now we’ve got 3 keys to deal with this situations everyone has in his life.

If you feel anxious about the outcome of a football match, your relationship, your job or even your whole life – follow these 3 keys:

1. Truth.
Be true to yourself, accept yourself and let the other see your true being. Then you’ll find people who accept you.

2. Independence.
Don’t be attached to outcomes or persons. Be thankful for any day, situation and person you meet.

3. Faith.
Trust others while being optimistic – and most important: trust yourself. Now act with this attitude.

I think you got the point. Try to adopt this attitude for at least one week and compare the different outcomes. What life do you want to live? Choose yourself.

How to Live Passionate Without a Purpose

by Claudio.Ar (Flickr)

I’m sure some of you read already blogposts about finding your passion or life purpose. One great example is Steve Pavlina’s How to Discover Your Life Purpose in About 20 Minutes which I really recommand. But to be true it didn’t helped me completly until today. Although I have not found my life purpose I got some great insights about myself and my possible life purposes. Yes, I still don’t know which path to choose. Many weeks I lived with a attitude of resignation and desperation while being stunned to move forward, to be proactive. My thoughts were similiar to:

Fuck it. I don’t know what to do with my life. I’m seeing how other people get possibilities and crush it all the time but what about me? First I need to figure out what I wanna do before I can be fortunate about my work life. I’m going to watch TV now, lucky bastards.”

I’m not joking! Many weeks I was stunned and just lived my unfulfilling life while watching TV or playing computer games, as same as (thankfully) reading more and more personal development blogposts and books. But some evening when I was whining again about myself being unable to live passionate I got a even deeper insight about the word passion. This changed my whole life immediately.

What is the Purpose of a Purpose?

The funny thing is often we don’t even know why we search for our life purpose. Maybe we’ve read how very successful people chose to leave work and monetize their passion and called that their purpose. Maybe we’ve got a religious background which says that your purpose is to help others or to follow a certain pattern of behaviour to live your life purpose. Maybe we are just desperate and hope to be happy again. Whatever it is – we often don’t even truly know why we search it.

Your life purpose is the lense through which you perceive reality. It defines your life context and leads you on your path. What do I mean by that? I think the best way to explain the influence of one’s life purpose is an example:

John discovered his life purpose (in 20 minutes maybe) and knows what makes him feeling fulfilled: to serve himself. He’s really into the whole darkworker thing and wants to life a great life himself first. Others come second. His life purpose is to live the greatest life he can imagine through focusing on himself. So how does this purpose influences him? That’s really clear: Every decision he takes he faces through his lense of “which path may lead me to a more fulfilled, rich and joyful life?” His reality is changed because he’s focusing on opportunities for himself. Maybe there is a advertisement for voluntary work, but he’ll just notice an ad for a new money investment. I think you get the point.

Sarah discovered her life purpose (maybe in 40 minutes) as same like John. This time Sarah want’s to help the world to gain peace. Yeah its really a cliche, i know hehe! Well, now what Sarah experiences in her life is totally different from John. She notices the advertisement for voluntary work, she sees the poverty on the streets but she also has hope and knows that she can change something, too. She also takes immediate action.
So the purpose of your life purpose is to give you a new perspective on life, which has a great impact on your percipience and your actions!

The Difference between Your Passion and Your Life Purpose.

So what’s the difference now?
Your life purpose is on a higher level than your passion. That’s because your life purpose affects your passion at any time.  Believe me this insight is HUGE. Now you gonna give up searching for your life purpose and passion on the same level and start living a fulfilling life. This is also the mistake I did everytime discovering my life purpose. I discovered my life context but searched for something available, something to work with immediately. I failed. I’ve became frustrated. No action.

The key to finding your passion is to know your purpose already before. If I would know that I am just seconds away from my passion I wouldn’t believe it. At that time my purpose sounded like “I want to help people grow. I want to change the world to a better place. I want to contribute.” I had too many options left to go for it directly and take action! I could go to greenpeace, I could become a teacher, I could become a Rapstar to influence all the kids, I could even go to the NASA and search for Aliens to help us with our ecological problems. I’m serious. My possibilites – and yours also – are countless.

But when I realize that I’m aware of my life purpose  now and NOT of my passion I get a new perspective on the whole “find your passion or DIE” topic. This is a crucial insight which I want to share with everyone of you:

If I don’t know my passion consciously in this moment, there is no other way to get to know it then to act.

This is really unbelieveable essential. Because too many people stay stuck and don’t act (like myself), they NEVER FIND THEIR PASSION. This is all it needs to be happy, have a fulfilling life and get what you want to get as same as give what you want to give.

Play the Trial & Error Game – Act As If

There is no other path to be sure that you are on your way to your passion. But who said that your life passion needs to be forever the same? Sure you don’t want to work on a carrer for five years or more to realize that you want to do something completely different. But wait – why not? If you had fun working there, there is really nothing to regret. Even if it was hard and unfulfilling work like you did maybe up till today, you’ve gained insight in what’s NOT your passion. And that is as valueable as knowing your passion. So if you choose today to go one path straight forward, dont be afraid. There is no possiblity to lose something, you are gaining in either way great insights. And if you choose something fun to try out you maybe don’t even feel like working hard.

ACT AS IF YOUR ACTUAL PATH IS YOUR TRUE PASSION – and watch out for the results.   Be creative. Be active. Please. Now.
