Today in a ever-evolving modern world we are faced with many challenges, social pressures, and ideals that sometimes result in anxiety, stress and depression. We are told that this is an inevitable truth in such a world, but this only exists within those who chose believe it. Our greatest gift is our ability to create emotion, feeling, and thought in any given moment regardless of what is happening on the exterior. You are the creator of your reality; do not give the liberty of this to anybody. Do not allow others to control your emotionally. A lot of suffering stems from our views on ideals or what we "should" be like; when we are unique individuals. Do not allow the views of others to influence you negatively, it is up to you to interpret everything you take in and discern what is beneficial for you. Do not fall into the traps that modern society places upon us, through social media, ideals, and many other ploys designed to keep you thinking in a self destructive way. 

In every second and moment of life, be conscious of your thoughts and talk to yourself. Ask yourself, is this correct? Should I be doing this? Am I doing something wrong? How do I feel? How should I change? You're thoughts should never be self destructive. Always self-motivational, never rely on anybody for any emotion, praise, or help because you can achieve anything you set your MIND and ENERGY to. Give yourself more credit than you already do, because there is only ONE YOU. Only ONE life, so make the most of it in every moment. 

Many of us project our problems onto others, and in turn miss the picture. When you change yourself, you will change others in turn; because you will be an example that others will want to follow. So all change starts with you and not others. Sometimes its hard to see this because of situations in life; this or that happens. But it is all happening for a reason, a lesson; to learn from and make you stronger. There is a positive in every negative. You might feel a certain way mad, angry, sad, depressed because of a break-up, a fight, a loss, life-situation in the present moment; but ask yourself this simple question: are you going to be like this a month from now? Or even a week from now? Perhaps a day? So what is stopping you from changing your emotion this present moment. Take charge of your mind. Stay conscious. 

My sincerest blessings and best wishes upon everybody reading this.
