It’s all right to feel a little pressure when we’re faced with a challenge to complete a task. A little pressure can be motivating especially when there is a deadline we have to meet. It is better to set deadlines for ourselves because if we don’t, then nothing will get done. We don’t have to look at deadlines as punishment but as encouragement. When we set deadlines we’re forced to use our time most effectively instead of procrastinating and waiting to the last minutes to do it.   Waiting to the last minutes is just putting unnecessary pressure on us while trying to complete 85 percent of the work in short amount of time.  Some of us thrive on this kind of pressure and like it.  However, the anticipation of wondering whether or not to start today or tomorrow can be agonizing.

“Peace is its own reward.” − Mahatma Gandhi

When we’re at peace, there is no inner conflict. When we’re at peace, everything seems quiet. When we’re at peace, time seems to slow down. When we’re at peace, we have forgiven others that have wronged us. When we’re at peace, we no longer keep hatred inside of us. When we’re at peace, we have no problems accepting others and ourselves. When we’re at peace, we live without worries. When we’re at peace, tomorrow isn’t that important to us anymore. When we’re at peace, we experience calmness while every things else around us is chaotic. Peace enjoys the company of peace. Peace is rewarding for everyone.

We don’t have to give up on our dreams. It is not too late to dream and do something worthwhile in our lives. So whatever it is we can start now. We hesitate to actually do something because it provokes anxiety in us created by our fear of the unknown. We want to anticipate what may go wrong. We don’t want to lose our livelihood. We know this may change the rest of our life. We know things will not be the same. It is all right to dream, but also it is all right to make it real; that’s our goal.

If we want to find wisdom, we can look for it within our experiences. Gaining knowledge by reading a book and applying knowledge from books in our everyday situation are two different things. Applying knowledge requires us to do something. Once we begin to apply what we’ve learned, then we set out to see what works and what doesn’t work.  This is what we called wisdom. Most of us know that, but taking actions on what we’ve learned isn’t easy because it feels counter intuitive to what we’re familiar with. Some things we’ve learned won’t apply but those that do, is a keeper.

What we know is certain are that we’re alive. What we know is certain are that we get hungry and/or thirsty. What we know is certain is that we want to know about life. What we know is certain is that there are a lot of uncertainties. What we know is certain are that change is constant. What we know is certain are that we experience pain. What we know is certain are that we experience joy. What we know is certain is that we’re born, we live, then we die. What we know is certain is that it rains, snows, the wind blows and the sun shines.

When we feel comfortable about ourselves, it is easier to accept those around us who are different from us. Although we are different in many ways, we also have many things in common.  We all have a desire for friendships and love. We all want our dreams to come true. We all want to seek adventures and try new things. We hope for a better world for our children. We all want security and safety in our own homes. We enjoy eating our favorite foods among friends or family.

When we are having a hard time, it’s an opportunity for growth. When life seems unfair, it is an opportunity to comfort others. When we fall down, it is an opportunity to get up and even help others up. When it rains and thunders, it is an opportunity to look for rainbows. When it gets dark, it is an opportunity to see the stars. When we see disaster, it is an opportunity to give in some way. When we get tired, it is an opportunity to rest. When we don’t understand, it is an opportunity to learn.  When things are chaotic, it is an opportunity to seek peace from within.

Yesterday was Halloween. How come we like to be scared on Halloween? It is the adrenaline rush we get from being scared. In the context of Halloween we allow ourselves to enjoy the experience of being scared. But when it comes to life’s fears, we create internal images in our head that makes us frighten.  Yes, we create a lot our own fears because we want to control the outcome of the event that’s frightening us. Instead we can see that those fears are created by the mind and are not real.

When we’re feeling pressure to rush things along, it is time to sit back and relax. It is important that we pace ourselves to keep from being overwhelmed. We need to be at our best performance if we want to be effective in what we’re doing.  When we’re performing at our best, then we are making progress or producing something that we will feel satisfied at the end.  Feeling pressure makes it difficult to stay focused. Being unfocused will not help us at all. Relaxing is about taking a break. When we’re taking a break from the pressures, we are renewing ourselves and clearing up our minds.

“Your life doesn’t get better by chance, it gets better by change.” ~ Jim Rohm

If we aren’t satisfied with the way things are going in our life, then change is essential. A change can be a change in our attitude or a change in the way we see our situation can make a big difference in how we deal with things. Action creates change in us. A change doesn’t have to be big; we can start changing small things that will make a significant difference in our life. If we continue on the path of change, then a complete transformation is inevitable.

We have little more than two months left of 2013. It is not too late to end our year with a blast. We still have time to finish up some of our projects for this year or at least finish up one major project. It is also a good time to begin to look back on what we have accomplished and what things we still need to work on. But let us not look back for too long, we just need to look back just enough to get some inspiration to continue forward in the work we’re doing today.

Meaning is accumulations of our experiences. Meaning is based on what we value in our lives. In our experiences we find out about what are our likes and dislikes.  Our likes and our dislikes are our filters to help us along through our experiences. It is through our filters that we interpret our experiences. We are constantly receiving inputs from our senses and we are constantly creating meaning based on our filters that we have created over the years.

We all want to relate to one another. We don’t want to feel alone or left out in any social situation. We want to feel belong even though we may have nothing in common with a group. Since we’re unique people, we each can bring something into a social situation. We all can contribute to a group. Since we experience things everyday of our lives, we can bring up a lot of information from our own experiences and share them with one another.  Exchanging experience is another way of relating and getting to know one another better than if we just not talk at all. Conversing with one another is the best medicine to feel like we belong.
