[KNOW] Befriend Yourself! Know Yourself! Step #1 in Living Your Dream Life

in #philosophy7 years ago

Whenever we get frustrated with Life, it's because we do not precisely KNOW where we are and/or where we are going. Said differently, we lack INFORMATION, and that's what gets us in a frustrated state of being.

How can we ever expect to Live a Happy Life if we don't know what makes us Happy?


We basically can't life a happy life until we know our unique passion (gift) in Life. That thing that motivates us to better ourselves and the world in which we live.
As Mr. Pablo Picasso said:

“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”

We have to find our Gift and we have to share our Gift with the whole wide world, so that we benefit ourselves as much as the world around us.

And to do that we have to

KNOW OURSELVES

How can we get to live our Desired Life if we don't know what that Desired Life looks like in the first place?


We have to be Imaginative, to KNOW how our Ideal Life looks like and to place ourselves in Present Tense, as we are already living that Life.

As we do that and commit ourselves to that Ideal, our Life will start to shape itself and become that which we wish it to be.

KNOWTHYSELF

  1. KNOW that you have a Gift.
  2. KNOW that your Gift is the thing around which you should center life.
  3. KNOW your unique Gift.
  4. KNOW how your Gift will benefit the world around us.
  5. KNOW how to use that Gift in a way that it benefits you as much as it benefits everyone else.
  6. KNOW that your Gift can and will create Heaven on earth for you.
  7. KNOW that you are a unique part of God as much as everyone else around you is.

Do you KNOW?

You have to answer it only for yourself, and no one else.

very nice thx

Thanks Mr @SurfYogi! I appreciate that :)

In Zen they say people without goals are like ghosts wandering aimlessly.

Sounds about right. Mr Earl Nightingale used the following metaphor:

Think of a ship with the complete voyage mapped out and planned. The captain and crew know exactly where the ship is going and how long it will take and it has a definite goal. And 9,999 times out of 10,000, it will get there.
Now let’s take another ship and just like the first and only let’s not put a crew on it, or a captain at the helm. Let’s give it no aiming point, no goal, and no destination. We just start the engines and let it go. I think you’ll agree that if it gets out of the harbor at all, it will either sink or wind up on some deserted beach and a derelict. It can’t go anyplace because it has no destination and no guidance.

Thanks for the comment Mr. @SoulSistaShakti! Following now for some more Zen saying! Or whatever wisdom you might share with us :)

Ms., Thank you :)

By "Praying" I understand, as Neville Goddard teaches:

"You can move in imagination to any place and any time. Dwell there as though it were true, and you will have learned the secret of prayer. "

In other words, Mark 11:24-25:

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.”

When Neville Goddard mentions praying, he believes that the human imagination is God.

God is the creator as is your imagination as your imagination creates your reality!

His work is worthy of spending some time researching and applying!
