Control (4) --- Happiness

Discover how changing the meaning of
one word can make amazing change
in your life to garantee happiness.


Happiness is the ultimate currency for all our behavior. You want money, a new car, a new house, and so on, because you want to be happy. The million dollar secret is that all these things cannot make you happy. Happiness is an internal matter which you already have and abandoned. All you have to do is access it through choice.

The most important factor that stops you from accessing yourself or your happiness is the random movement of your mind. It moves on its own agenda and you are a passenger. Fortunately enough it is something you can control.

You see? The mind works like a lens wherever you focus it, the place expands and highlights. So you can see, feel and act better or worse.

Now change the word mind, replace it with the word lens in the dictionary of your mind. Keep and use it that way and this will change your life.

Where is my lens?
What is it highlighting?
Is it working for me or against me?

Ask this question if possible every 10 minutes to access and notice where your lens is and what is highlighting. By so doing, you will start to notice how it's giving up allowing you to take control of its movement.

I don't know about you, but for me, imagining controlling my mind and its activities is like imagining the world where you control everything. I wonder as you wonder too how you can use ... now... for your best life. Napoleon Hill says "Everything in the world begins with thought, fortunately, that is what you have absolute control of."

Now it is interesting to notice that at any giving time your lens is highlighting things at one of the 3 destinations.

1. Past
2. Present
3. Future

Go find it and see if it is for or against you.

Most problem in life result from your lens's automatic piloting in the past. The past is poor lens through which to view anything other than former strategies that successfully led the desired outcome. Just use it as a feed backs.

Learn how to withdraw only a happy mood from the past to support you now to move forward. Don't dwell in the pains of the past for your future decisions.

Looking into the past means you will look away from your future that hold all you desire. It is like trying to catch a ball already on the ground rather than giving it another go round. Another one already in the air but stopping to the ground level, it just goes over your head, another lost, isn't it?

How can you ever ... keep from missing the next?

Are you telling me you are not ready? I ask you a question.

What were you before you are not ready?

Are you ready for the next page? See you then. (nowyourbestlife.com)

Control (3) --- Decisions based on outcome

How do you make your decisions?

Do you notice that the decisions that you made in the past make exactly what you are now? It is not surprising to know that most people make decisions by looking back into the past to find similarities to what is now at hand. This makes them repeating their lives circle instead of going ahead.

What we are today is the result of series of decisions we made in the past. The decisions we make today create what we're going to be in 10 years time or even less. Is it not important we focus on how we make decisions to create our desired future?

Yes. To control our decision-making process, we operate in 3 levels.

1. Foresight
2. Patience
3. Flexibility

Primitively, humans, like most animals, respond to whatever happens in their environment impulsively, or taking spur of the moment action. This results in damages or problems you will live to amend.

People in control use foresight -- they look ahead, imagine consequences of potential behavior, and anticipated outcome. Get clear with that.

Then exercise patience or even go deeper into self where the world is so calm and peaceful, it could be a minute, 30 minutes, or even an hour, depending on the urgency of problem. In there, they create comfortability between the response and outcome. This also allows more information to come into their awareness.

They then have flexibility to consider so many options they have at hand to make a decision based on clarity, trusting the response to produce the desired outcome.


You see? CONTROL is like a gateway to enjoy anything good. You have to have the key in order to enjoy love, happiness, serenity, peace, freedom, and so on.

Use it every moment in your life, and notice how well it works for you to see how well it works?
