Change your words to change your life

If you change your words you can change your life.
Don't believe it? Then watch the movie below. If you tell what you think in different words it may effect your life.
In the video the blind man wrote "I'm blind please help" and the woman changed the words and wrote " It's a beautiful day and I can't see it". So, it helped the belind man made more money.



Words may be more valuable than money.
So, to change your life, to make more money, to be happy or to be successful start with changing your words.

What you resist persists.

What you resist persists.
You know that what you resist persists. We all know that.


Theoretically sounds great – just stop resisting the situation. Be in it. Accept it and see it dissolve on its own.

Stop worrying about money. Stop worrying about your marriage. Stop worrying about – how much longer I am going to be here. Here… where I don’t want to be anymore.

When will Change come? Easily and effortlessly. Preferably without me doing the hard work.

My divorce has been going on forever already. I am so ready to be over with it. But it doesn’t seem to end any time soon. How do you not resist something like this?

The thing is – it won’t end until I accept Here and Now. Until I stop resisting. Hard work might not be necessary but dropping resistance is.

Sometimes it might happen naturally – when you are resisting something for too long, eventually you’ll get tired. You’ll say – who cares. But it might take awhile to get to that point. Often it works faster to consciously decide to stop resisting.

“When you surrender and stop resisting and stop trying to change that which you can’t change, but be in the moment, be fully open to the blessings you’ve already received and those that are yet to come & stand in that space of gratitude … and look at where you are and how far you’ve come and what you’ve accomplished …- when you can claim THAT and SEE that, the literal vibration of your life will change.” Oprah

This quote goes perfectly with today’s post. Few things that help me to stop resistance are:

1. Compared to what?

Each time you notice yourself judging anything as good or bad, ask yourself – compared to what? I don’t like how my body looks. Compared to whose body? My relationship with my partner could be better. Compared to what? I don’t have enough money. Compared to what?

When you ask yourself those questions you realize that your good or bad are so relative. Then you realize that everything is neutral. Then you realize that you are doing much better than you thought. And then hopefully you stop resisting as much.

2. Physically relax into the situation that causes resistance.

Think of your situation. What do you resist? What are you unhappy with? Feel the resistance and tension in your body. Now breathe into it. And relax.

3. Most importantly stop resisting your own resistance. I’ve done that for awhile. If you are already resisting a lot and the situation really sucks (according to your mind’s interpretation, of course… but still), admit it. Claim it. Say that it sucks. And that you hate it. And wish it was over …like RIGHT now.

Only after that do steps 1 and 2. Denial is not necessary.

And then keep reminding yourself that everything is just an experience.

Look back at your life. I bet you’ll remember many situations when what looked not so good at the time turned out to be for the best after all. It truly is all for the best. There is a lesson in everything. The one that will bring you closer to who you are meant to be.

Stop resisting. Let go.

Tips for a better life

  • Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile.
  • Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
  • Sleep for 7 hours.
  • Live with the 3 E's : Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
  • Play more games.
  • Read more books
  • Drink plenty of water.
  • Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
  • Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
  • Make time to practice meditation, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
  • Dream more while you are awake.
  • Smile and laugh more.
  • Try to make at least three people smile each day.
  • Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
  • Don't have negative thoughts about things you cannot control.
  • Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
  • Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
  • Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
  • Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
  • Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. This will ruin your present happiness.
  • Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class, but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
  • You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
  • Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
  • Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
  • Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
  • Forgive everyone for everything.
  • What other people think of you is none of your business.
  • However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
  • Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
  • Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
  • The best is yet to come.
  • No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
  • Don't over do. Keep your limits.
  • Your inner most is always happy. So be happy.
  • Do the right thing!
  • Call your family often.
  • Each day give something good to others.

    Mexican fisherman and life.

    A boat docked in a tiny Mexican village. An American tourist complimented the Mexican fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them.

    "Not very long," answered the Mexican.

    "But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the American.

    The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family.
    The American asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"

    "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs. I have a full life."

    The American interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."
    "And after that?" asked the Mexican.

    "With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."

    "How long would that take?" asked the Mexican.

    "Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the American.


    "And after that?"

    "Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting, " answered the American, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!"

    "Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the Mexican.

    "After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends."

    And the moral of this story is: ......... Know where you're going in life... you may already be there.


    An old story, I received by mail again and wanted to share :)
