Hey all;
Its been a while since i've written here so bare with me.
I've come to a few conclusions latley.
Conclusion #1 - Learn to love yourself and you won't give a damn what other people think.
Conclusion #2 - Get your life together - if you have your shyt together then you are in control.
Conclusion #3 - Reflect and listen to your conscious.
Conclusion #4 - Change the things you can. The things you can't, roll with the wave.
So here's the breakdown and a little history behind each conclusion.
Conclusion #1
This I just picked up on a few months ago. I decided that I didn't care what other people thought. If they didn't like the way i looked they didn't have to look. If they didn't like my playing (guitar) they didn't have to listen. Its not you that has a problem with the world. Its the world that has the problem with you - and my answer to their problem: "TOUGH!"
I realized that the only person in the end that really matters is myself. I gave up trying to be the "perfect" guy and became myself. I'm not the fittest guy in the world - hell i'm probably the laziest but now when I look in the mirror I like what I see. No- i didn't get fit or get in shape I found out that its not what you look like that counts its how you percieve yourself.
If you look at yourself and say "I'm sooo pathetic. I"m a looser and thats all i'll ever be." Then yeah, thats all you'll ever be.
However if you say in the mirror "Look at me, i'm great at what I do. There's nothing that I can't control and i'm on top of the world." You'll feel like a million dollars.
What helped me a lot was a journal. I bought this really slick leather journal and I write my thoughts in it. I don't write every day and I don't write everything down. I write when i'm really great or when i'm having a really fvcked up day. I date it at the top and write "good" or "bad" , etc... depending on the day. So if I need a boost later, I go back and read a "good day". It works - trust me.
As well - i've become more religious. This one's optional, but I feel much more comfortable with myself now and I know i'll always have someone help me out. It's wierd because I'll end wishing something great will happen. And in a roundabout way it does. Something bad happens first but then later on because that bad thing happend something great will bring me back up again.
Love yourself at all costs.
Conclusion #2
Something lit a fire under my @ss at the beginning of this semester. I realized I was going to fail a course I NEEDED to pass. I don't fail - I never fail and this wasn't going to be a first.
I took responsabililty for my actions and started to do stuff about it. I realized that no matter how much I thought I knew the math -I didn't. I ended up doing extra homework and now i'm going to pass.
Thats just an example - on a grander scale think of it this way. Most of you have a job, school and possibly a girlfriend. How the hell are you going fit all that in as well as a social life. Go buy a planner - or use the same journal I talked about in Conclusion #1. Write down EVERYTHING. Write down all your dates, when everything is due, when you work.
Give 110% at everything and I guarantee you that you'll end up with a lot more time and a lot less stress.
Oh - and a huge tip : DON'T LEAVE WORK TILL THE LAST MINUTE!
Conclusion #3
Your conscious is your best friend. He's the only person that you can truly trust all the time. Most people today have just blocked out that annoying little voice but I promise you that if you listen to him you'll sleep better at night.
This is the most simple out of all the "Conclusions". Just listen. Take time to sit down and reflect on what you did during the day. Write it down in your journal if you want. If you feel bad about something, write it down and then make an effort to fix it.
This goes back to loving yourself. If you're guilt free and don't have anything to hold you back, you'll fly higher than you've ever flown before.
The biggest mistake people make is to bottle up emotions and problems. Write them down - talk to someone, a close buddy about it. And as much as people may think that its a sissy thing to do - if you feel like crying, don't friggin bottle it up. You'll feel a lot better about yourself once you figure out what is going on and release some energy and emotion. I'm sure i wouldn't be the first one to admit that things have made me cry - but they do. If I feel like I gotta get rid of some emotion then why should I let my pride stop it.
Conclusion #4
Learn to roll with the tide. My gf has a ****ty family. I wish there was something I can do to help her. I tried and tried and made my life really stressfull for quite a while before I accepted the fact that there's NOTHING I can do.
Most of the thigns in life you can change. You're the master of your domain. But when things are bugging you that you can't change - accept that there's not too much to do. Learn to deal with it and adapt. Find the best in every situation and you'll become a better more rounded person who is able to deal with everything.
If you follow these simple ideas there's no telling how far you could go. This isn't about DJ'ing - this is about self-content. If you really are happy with your life then everything falls into place and the ride will be a lot smoother.
