Life Advice N Motivation -Week 11: Faceing The Painful Truth

This week on life advice and motivation, we talk about....

The Truth.
Or perhaps its better to say The Truths of life because there is more than one truth in life.

Sometimes truths of life that we come to face are amazing, other times they are painful and ugly. so much so that we can barely go on at peace in our lives.

at times things are so bad that we have no motivation to go on. we lose all hope in everything.

A great strength comes from being able to accept what is before us and move forward through the obstacles.

accepting things such as death, loss, failure, or rejection, become a challenge.

So we ask, how do we face a truth that is painful?

well life, advice, & motivation says

accepting, surrendering and becoming aware of the pressent moment is key!.

often times we make assumptions or start to overthink situations, making it hard to accept the situation before us as it is.

a famous quote by eckhart tolle : we look at reality through the screen of our thinking and our judgment which is conditioned by the past.

being able to deal with a situation that hurts us means we have to accept it and move forward.
Moving forward to finding the next best possible solution

this week on life advice and motivation we want you to find the next best solution to a problem or truth that you face in your life that hurts you so badly.

Remember, What doesnt kill you makes you stronger!!

next weeks topic ! saying goodbye !!

Life Advice N Motivation -Week 10: Erasing The Ego

The EGO.

What is it?

1. The self, especially as distinct from the world and other selves.
2. In psychoanalysis, the division of the psyche that is conscious, most immediately controls thought and behavior, and is most in touch with external reality.
3.
a. An exaggerated sense of self-importance; conceit.
b. Appropriate pride in oneself; self-esteem.

we all know more or less what the ego is.
But some important questions we need to ask are:

Do we recognize our own egos within ourselves?
What does the ego do and how does it effect us?


when somebody thinks highly of themselves we call them egotistical. however being egotistical also occurs when we think lowly of ourselves or victimizing ourselves, or when we subconciously seek attention.

jealousy , insecurity, anger and such feelings all come from the ego. negative aspects of pride, arrogance, and sense of self all come in the form of subconcious thoughts in our head, initially from our egos.Name calling, bullying, or any type of negative expression that makes us subconciously feel better than someone else, is caused by the ego.

to erase the negitivity of the ego, we must first recognize it. to be able to identify that one is being jealous, insecure, angry, egotistical, depressed, sad, spoiled, or whatever it may be, will allow us to make the decision to stop being that way. habitually living without an ego creates charming people within our characters. we learn to live with and appreciate the things we have and treat people and ourselves the way we should be treated.



this week on life advice and motivation we want you to recognize yourself being egotistical, and never do it again!

Life Advice & Motivation -Week 9: The Art of Appreciation

This week on life advice_ & motivation, we talk about appreciation: A principle that most people forget to practice.

Everyone wants to feel appreciated, but not everybody gives appreciation. But but appreciation for people isnt the only thing that we willbe talking about this week.

APPRECIATION for all things is what we want to teach on life advice and motivation.
Often times we are so busy thinking about the things we want but dont have.
we often forget to appreciate people and deeds, we forget to appreciate things we do have, and most of all we forget to appreciate being alive, sometimes we even forget how to appreciate ourselves!

We ask : Why should we appreciate anyways and why is it important?

The definition of apprecitation shows for itself!

ap·pre·ci·a·tion (-prsh-shn)
n.
1. Recognition of the quality, value, significance, or magnitude of people and things.
2. A judgment or opinion, especially a favorable one.
3. An expression of gratitude.
4. Awareness or delicate perception, especially of aesthetic qualities or values.
5. A rise in value or price, especially over time.

Often times when we get used to having something or somebody doing a favor of some sort for us, it becomes an expectation or because we are so used to having it, we forget to appreciate it because we think its always there.
this applies to relationships, opportunities, assets, and time.

being able to show appreciation is an art because most of us don't do it at all, but it would benefit both us and others in great ways.

The hardest thing about appreciation is seeing past the distractions that stop us from seeing the value in what we have. often wen we lose things we realize we should have appreciation. so its true that we only realize somethings worth when its gone!

this week on life advice & motivation we want you to appreciate something or notice something or someone that you usually dont. show someone appreciation and be thankful towards them, or simply just be thankful for the things you have!!! this weeks video :
