What is a Superhuman and How Can You Become One?

There is a story we keep telling ourselves, the story of “Darkness Vs. Light” and how they are in an eternal war.

But what if this narrative is not good enough anymore?what-is-a-superhuman-how-can-you-become

Living with the thought that one day everyone you love, including you, will die, we created programs like religion and mythology to blanket us from this dreadful fact.

We created concepts like “Good” and “Evil” to guide us toward what is right in a world where nobody was there to tell us.

We associated our collective evolution with our personal narratives. But how can “Good” exist without the contrast of “Evil”?

In a way, by drawing a line and creating a side we call “Good” we simultaneously create a side we will call “Evil” putting ourselves in this continuous loop of eternal war between them.

What happens when there is no more “Evil”? How can the “Good” proceed to evolve without creating “Evil” to fight against? How can Light exist without Darkness?

And even if we somehow manage to eradicate the “Evil”, what we call “Good” will just keep on dissecting itself from less pure shades of “Good” until it seizes to exist. And in the end, the “Good” is doomed to become the “Evil” it existed to defeat.

This narrative is being told by our own program. We are children of a Universe where entropy exists and dark energy spreads everything further away in complete chaos, while, in the same time, light creates bonds that attract each other beyond space and time producing the 4 fundamental forces that keep things together and in order.

The balance between these forces, things being spread out, but far away from each other just enough, makes life exist and thrive.

We are alive because of ‘the eternal war’ these opposite sides are in. So how can we not make this narrative a fundamental part of our evolution?

The problem is in the way we see this tension between darkness and light. We see it as war, we see it as if they are against each other, we project our human weaknesses upon these aspects depicting them as if they hate each other.

But what if we look at all this all wrong? What if they are not at war?

What if it’s not “The Eternal War Between Darkness and Light” but The Eternal Dance of Darkness and Light?

Maybe our whole narrative will change. Maybe we will expand our story even further knowing that instead of choosing a side, we are all already on the same side.

Because the world is not something you can divide into “Good” and “Evil”, it’s more complicated than that. If you really try to divide it, you will have to divide each person’s heart in half.

What we call “Evil” is weakness, it’s failure to deal with your own pain so you try to inflict it in others. It sprouts from the ways of natural evolution where this ruthlessness was based on strength.

But we evolved, and we are stronger, strong enough that we don’t have to be ruthless to survive. That’s why acting in such manner as a human is based on weakness. You don’t neglect it, you acknowledge this part of yourself, but you are strong enough to choose to not act on it, to find a better way.

What we call “Good” is our ideals, what we all strive to become. But claiming we are only “Good” is neglecting your nature, is discrediting the existence of this ideals and the trail you have in front of you to acquire them. It’s disrespectful in a way.

You are neither “Good” nor “Evil” but you have the potential to be both. You are a person that evolved from the ruthless ways of nature and has an infinite potential for good.

What makes the difference is your strength to make your own choices in midst of this duality.

We are stuck in this duality because we resist to accept it within us. We are all dual in nature!

So in order to prevent “Evil” from reemerging, we need to transcend “Good”, go beyond this duality.

As modern science progresses, we realize that these stories we keep telling ourselves are just that, stories.

We realize that a blanket cannot protect us from the reality outside of it, it can just create an illusion that we are safe.

Even more, it covers our eyes so we don’t see what hides in the dark.

In a way, we got stuck in our own illusions that we used to give ourselves a sense of safety and certainty.

And we are stuck between our old narratives and the existential dread that just gets bigger and bigger as we awaken to the truth.

That’s why the whole world suffers from a soul sickness, a global depression, panic attacks, anxiety.

We are on an evolutionary crossroads. We are left with a bad choice on either side.

Either you are a fool blinded by the old narrative that retards the advancement of humanity, or you are depressed and anxious living with the constant reminder that nothing really matters.

How can we keep on living like this? Can humanity even exist without a story that bridges our finite nature with the infinite? Can we keep thriving knowing that we are just a speck of dust on the bigger picture?

Maybe what we need is a new story. A different one. A story unlike any other that we have ever told, since the dawn of humanity.

Maybe we don’t need to choose a side, but step into a new dimension!

In order to evolve further we need to see beyond our blanket. To stand up. To accept the facts that we try to hide from. Because that’s the only way we can change them!

Instead of being scared from the darkness, maybe we need to examine it, see how it helps us, how it can help us, and evolve further.

This new story is not going to be a blanket that protects us from reality, but a suit that gives us superpowers and control over reality.

In order to evolve even further we need to transcend beyond the story of “Darkness Vs. Light” and create a new one, a story of unifying the “Darkness and Light”!

Instead of choosing a side on the evolutionary crossroad, we can fly upward and create our own direction.

Instead of accepting the human fate as mortal beings stuck on one planet, fighting each other over what ideal is better, maybe we start believing that we can become immortal species that live on multiple planets and become our ideals.

Changing our narrative, path and beliefs is necessary to EVOLVE FURTHER. But we need to find a way how to do it without losing the essence of our humanity, the flame we evolved with in the first place. That’s quite an adventure.

And that’s what it means to be a Superhuman!

6 Habits Highly Compassionate People Do That Make Everybody Like Them

0

Compassion is not the same as pity since feeling pity is feeling sorry for other people’s state of life and connotes a negative meaning.

Compassion is positive, it’s acknowledging their pain but cheering and supporting their greatness, recognizing that we are all in the same team.

You surely know someone who is so compassionate and kind that everybody loves their presence. It’s like when they come, a ray of sunshine comes with them.

Everybody just becomes brighter, there is a spark in their eyes, a positive energy around them.

The world needs more compassion these days, but people seem to be atrophying this muscle.

If you want to become so compassionate that other people love to be around you constantly, here are the habits highly compassionate people do that make everybody like them. You can apply some of these in your lifestyle to build your compassion muscle.

6 Habits Highly Compassionate People Do:habits-highly-compassionate-people-do

1. Meditate on loving kindness.

Meditation on loving kindness is done by imagining the times others were kind to you, the times you were kind to others, and scenarios that are filled with what loving kindness looks in your opinion. Try to get into that vibration of loving kindness as you meditate on it.

Writing exercises that involve describing a time when you’re feeling a strong bond with others is helpful too.

In doing either of these two practices, you need to give it your all to get better results, like achieving the required amount of time in the meditation exercise. The best time for these practices is early in the morning so you can hold the loving vibration throughout the day.

2. Think what others feel, need and see when you speak with them.

Most of the time we are focused only on ourselves. When we speak with others we don’t want to hear them, we want to be heard.

Highly compassionate people know how to listen to others. They focus on what they feel, need and perceive.

When you actually observe other people you will know how to act to be compassionate. Try to step out of yourself and observe how you feel compassion for others.

You will realize that you are not neglecting yourself when you step away from your own egoistic desires. In fact, you are serving yourself even more by being compassionate to others because there is a part of you in every person you interact with.

When you become aware of this interdependence, you’re more likely to appreciate the efforts and presence of others in human survival.

3. Instead of judging the flaws, start supporting the greatness.

See if you judge others when you see them walking on the street or waiting in line at the supermarket. Look yourself in the mirror and see if the first thoughts that come to your mind are judgmental.

Do you judge others or do you feel compelled to do something to ease them from their sufferings?

Compassionate people focus on other people’s greatness, instead of their flaws, and support it.

The thing is, the way you think about others is the way you think about yourself. If you are judgmental for others, you will be judgmental for yourself. If you tend to mentally support others to develop their true potential, that’s how you will think about yourself.

4. Realize that we are all in this together, daily.

If you find hard to be less judgmental and more compassionate, then you don’t need to do things that can raise your compassion, you need to reframe your perception.

We are naturally compassionate because we know we are all in this together.

But somewhere along the line we forget. We let our egos make us believe that everyone else is out there to get us. But that’s not the truth. Others do the best they can with what they know. We are living in one planet together and we interdepend on each other more than we realize.

If you find hard to be more compassionate than judgmental, you need to remind yourself of this truth.

You can start by becoming aware of how the people worked hard to grow, transport, and sell the food that you put on your table. How the soldiers fought to give you the freedom that you have now. How courageous were your ancestors to make you happen.

You can start to appreciate every single person by realizing that their work and effort adds to the comforts you experience at home.

Another powerful thought is the fact that all of us have been through a lot of suffering in our own way. Every person you see is fighting or has been fighting a hard battle. We all hold pain in ourselves, a pain that’s a part of loving. We are all in this together.

5. Join supportive and compassionate communities.

Getting an outside support keeps you on track, especially when you’re struggling to be more compassionate.

There are many supporting communities in almost every city. Be that for animal support, red cross, communities that help elderly people, communities that help homeless people, even a meditation class can give you the outer kindness you need.

Seeing all these people working together on one bigger goal just so they can spread more kindness, restores your faith in humanity.

We all need a little help to keep the faith in humanity and that’s normal. These communities will give you that faith.

Being kind will become more natural for you if you surround yourself with people who exercise kindness as well. That’s why joining a supporting community is helpful.

6. Play.

Highly compassionate people tend to play almost every day.

They either play a game, dance, work with their hands on a project they are passionate about, or just try new exciting things.

No matter what they do, they put themselves in the play mind frame. That’s what’s important.

Researches have found that play keeps the brain younger and tremendously helps in cases of depression.

When you are in the mind frame of play there are no strict rules that stress you out. Everything is possible and novelty is in front of you. This mind frame forces the brain to create new neural connections and keep your mind flexible.

Having this little mind vacation daily helps you to not take things too seriously. It keeps you in that childlike state where you are loving and compassionate.

Probably the biggest secret that highly compassionate individuals have is exactly this playful mind frame that keeps their hearts childlike and loving.

10 Smartest Ways To Protect Yourself From Toxic People And Avoid Their Negative Vibrations

Toxic people come in various forms and sizes.

They’re the narcissists, the compulsive liars, the sociopaths, manipulators, gossipers, and negative nencies who have the capacity to spread lower vibrations all around them.

No matter how much we try to raise our vibration, we just can’t avoid bumping into these low vibration people. This happens because toxic people are actually hurt people who need healing, and avoiding them will not heal the world.

We can’t completely eliminate toxic people from our lives, especially when they’re our colleagues, family members, or neighbors.

You don’t need to avoid them completely, however, you don’t have to be affected by their negativity either because that is even worse.

If we’re not aware, their negative vibrations can drag us into their level and block the light we’re trying to shine upon the world. But there are smart ways you can be in their company and yet, be bulletproof to their negativity.

10 Smartest Ways To Protect Yourself From Toxic People’s Negative Vibes:smartest-ways-to-protect-yourself-from-toxic-people

1. Avoid giving them the attention they want to suck from others.

Parties or similar gatherings where there are a lot of people are the most favorable situations for toxic people to act out and get the attention they want.

They may talk or laugh out loud. Avoid becoming their audience by spending your precious time with a group of few and quieter people.

2. Avoid spending time with people who talk bad about others.

Backbiting is one bad habit of toxic people. If they start talking about others including their darkest secrets, don’t be fooled by believing they’re sharing it with you because you gain their trust.

They’re likely to betray you the same way they betray others. What’s worse, they may use your words against you so that when things mess up, you’re all to blame.

3. Do not put your full guard down with extremely nice and charming people.

Manipulative people are very good at fooling other people’s emotions. They will use every means and tactic to win you over.

What people want the most? Someone to agree with everything they say, be extremely nice and treat them like kings. Manipulators act exactly like that.

Watch out when someone is excessively charming or kind to you. It’s a signal that they’re up for something fishy. Listen when your gut feeling warns you through strange feelings of inadequacy in their presence. Feelings of being deceived are rarely wrong.

4. If you notice someone is lying, make it fun.

When you sense that someone is lying, don’t confront them immediately. This creates negativity. Instead, play a game with them, make it fun.

Regardless of how they fabricate their seemingly perfect stories, their lies will soon crumble before their eyes. The stories they tell will have more flaws and contradictions each time they recall them.

So just listen to how far they can go with trying to lie. You can even play a game where you act as you completely believe them and ask tricky questions to trap them in their lie.

5. Ignore insults and negative words.

Toxic people have a vocabulary of insults and negativity. But their words don’t have to affect you. Do not try to get to their level, even though sometimes we unconsciously start talking as the peers we talk to. The moment you realize it, try not to get affected.

Remember, the words of toxic people have less to do with you, and everything to do with them and the reality they live in. It often has something to do with their insecurities.

6. Don’t give in to the drama of self pity.

Toxic people use their self pity almost as a conversation starter. They believe that by acting as a victim of life, people or something will give them what they want.

Whatever the reasons, they have the responsibility of changing their own reality. Listening to their woes constantly not only encourages them to stay comfortable in that place but also drags you to the lower vibrations that they put themselves into.

So try to avoid and steer away from such conversations. But sometimes, if you can’t avoid such conversations, at least do not participate.

Instead of giving your opinion about the situation, just listen to their woes and talk less.

This way, they’ll pick up the cue that you can give nothing to them more than a listening ear.

7. Avoid playing mind games.

Toxic people often respond in an indirect way because they can’t be honest with themselves.

Toxic people love playing mind games. It’s how they manipulate people without having the spotlight on them.

Be direct when talking with them. If you want an answer, ask them with questions that only evoke a yes or no response. If you think they are dishonest, tell them. If you notice that they play with a certain agenda, tell them.

8. Beware of the false kindness.

Nobody is always kind. If they are, than either they are not honest with you, or with their own emotions. Whatever the case, always kindness it’s false kindness.

If someone is extremely kind to you, and you feel there’s something off, it’s a sure sign they’re doing it for a shady reason they alone know. Whatever their intentions, beware.

9. Keep your emotions in check.

Toxic people have their way of drawing negative emotions out of you. If you’re not in control of yourself, they’re likely to succeed in dragging you to their negative vibrations.

Hence, it’s essential that you keep your emotions in check when you’re dealing with toxic people. Do not mix your emotions in the conversation, keep them to yourself.

If you notice someone is trying to provoke you, or critique you with intent to make you negative, step aside from their game. Realize they just seek connection, it’s not personal.

10. Focus on the constructive solutions instead of the problems.

When problems arise, toxic people often look for whom to blame. It’s easier for them to blame than to look for solutions.

If you are in such situation try to focus on the constructive solutions because no matter how you pinpoint the guilty party, the problems wont go away if they are not solved. Focusing on the solution allows the good vibrations to flourish despite the mishaps around.

The fact is that many individuals get caught up in their daily routine that they forget the dream they nurtured.

The good thing about a great husband is that he knows your dreams and supports you. He will do anything just to make sure you’re living your dream no matter if it is doing a Ph.D., owning a small shop or traveling the world.

He is right beside you, and your happiness means the world to him.

2. Your Husband Can Comfort And Calm You

Whom do you rush to in situations where you are devastated, disappointed and depressed? In case the answer to this question is your significant other, then you should know that he is your best friend.

When you feel overwhelmed or receive terrible news, your partner is there to calm you down and comfort you. Through good and bad, right?

5. Your Husband Loves Spending Time With You

Successful couples can be doing anything and still enjoy each other’s company. He wants to be with you even if you aren’t talking or also if you are doing different activities.

It is not only the idea of being beside you, it is the tender, comforting feeling of it.

When you find out that your significant other is tagging along with you for an activity he does not really enjoy, you should know that you have one amazing partner.

6. He Loves And Respects His Mother

If your significant other treats his mother with respect and does everything to take good care of her, then there is huge possibility that he will treat you the same.

You should bear in mind that his mother is actually the first woman in his life and the bond with his mother reflects the way he treats other women.

7. He Complements You Often

Due to everyday chores and activities, we begin taking things for granted, and somehow we fail to find the joy in the small stuff. But, your partner genuinely complements you and is really proud to have you in his life.

8. Your Husband Is Selfless

You should know one thing unconditional love and selflessness go together. It is the idea of loving profoundly and committing wholly that you and your children always come first, even before himself.

In case you know that your partner selflessly puts you first, then you can sleep soundly knowing that you have made the right choice.

9. Your Partner Says “I Love You” Often

People show love in different ways. But the most common ways are physical touch, acts of service, gifts, quality time and last but not least words of affirmation.

It is so amazing that 3 words can change your day and eventually your life.

In case your partner is someone who voices his love, you can stay calm cause he knows where his affections lie and most importantly he wants you to feel that.

10. You Are His #1 Priority

Your happiness is the most important thing to him.

Your partner puts you first and does his best to be there for you. He tries to keep his promises and hates to let you down. You can trust him, and you feel safe because you come first.

Who doesn’t love a spontaneous dinner date, a sudden short trip or flowers?

Your partner loves to make you happy and see you smile.

Therefore he always plans surprises and does everything to sweep you off your feet.

12. You Are A Team

The truth is that living together needs immense patience. You need to accept his quirks, do your job, take care of your kids and the house, and multitasking is the only way to achieve all this.

However, if you are married to the right one, life will be easier. Your partner will do his best to make the annoying tasks such as washing clothes or doing the dishes fun! You are a team.

13. He Admits When He Is Wrong

This is very important especially when you are married to someone. It is like that since many relationships start to crumble over seemingly small things.

Things which in the grander scheme of other things, don’t matter. That being said, the habits of spouses can become bigger than they should grow.

In case you know what we are talking about, it is actually about the times when your partner admits that he is wrong.

You have to admit that when your partner agrees and acknowledges why, how and where they were wrong, you fall in love a bit more. This subtle act comes with significant impact.

Conclusion

If so, go and hug your husband and hold him tight, because you are one lucky lady. And he, he does everything he can to make you feel like you are the only woman in the world.

Be grateful and enjoy your marriage.

5 Transformative Habits That Will Improve Your Self Esteem

Everything that you allow in your mind greatly affects who you are. Every thought that you perceive has a corresponding effect on your mental health, relationships, goal achievement, and even in your physical health.

All because your thoughts are energies that govern your emotions and reactions. It’s a powerful tool that can either break you down or build you up.

The good thing is, your thoughts are not who you are. Negative thoughts form a pattern in your mind and have come to operate on autopilot.

Just recently, science proves that our thoughts and feelings allow us to manifest our desires.

Within this context, the greatest challenge lies in harnessing your shifting perspectives to help you focus more on the thoughts that can make a positive difference and help you build a healthy self esteem.

The key is change. You can change the patterns of your thoughts by changing your actions. When you open your mind for change, taking inspired actions are easier. And it usually starts with creating new habits even for 15 minutes each day.

5 Habits That Will BOOM Your Self Esteem:transformative-habits-that-improve-self-esteem

1. Become mindful daily.

Mindfulness means being in an active state of consciousness and awareness. It helps you focus on your thoughts and observe them like a detached observer while trying not to identify with them.

Mindfulness is a powerful tool in working with your self esteem because it brings into awareness your inner dialogue, how you talk to yourself, and what are the words you use in talking to yourself.

By being mindful, you will realize the kind of stories you are telling yourself and the self judgments you may have. It also brings you to the present moment, giving you the needed break from fixing your thoughts on the future, or in the past that no longer serve you.

By being aware of your thought patterns, you will gain clarity of the past mistakes that can be prevented from happening again.

Mindfulness also changes your self concept as you slowly accept the reality that your self worth isn’t dependent on the external factors, rather on the way you see and accept yourself as you are.

There are a lot of options on the mindfulness menu, such as meditation, yoga, qigong, breathing exercises, alpha wave music, and walking, to name a few.

Just start with the one that’s easier for you to do and commit to doing it every single day. You may not get instant results, but when you stick to the routine, eventually, you will.

2. Eliminate your negative self talk.

If you find that you are your worst critic, you may have indulged in destructive self talk. Changing this habit is not easy if you’re doing these for years.

Positive affirmations directed at yourself is ideal but may only backfire on you since every part of you clings to the negative idea you have of yourself.

The first thing you need to do is acknowledge that you’ve hurt yourself deeply. Tell yourself that you’re now awakened and want to establish a loving relationship.

Ask for forgiveness. Then slowly replace the negative with positive and uplifting words. Be compassionate with yourself as if you’re talking heart to heart to a person dearest to you.

Be patient if your progress is slow. What matters is the thought that one day yourself could be your own best friend.

3. Be always thankful.

Cultivating a grateful heart encourages you to focus on the good things life has given you. You might have overlooked these things while you were still hurting yourself.

Once you open up to the blessings that surround you, everything starts to become alive. Simply opening up your arms wide and be grateful for the moment is a good place to start.

Having a gratitude journal is also a big help.

You can list all the things you are grateful for during the day even if it’s as small as eating your favorite food or having a butterfly pass you by.

As you become more and more thankful each day, you attract more things to be thankful for.

4. Plan your day ahead.

While you could not really expect everything to happen as planned, planning your day ahead is helpful to feel motivated and do the things that are on your priority list.

Having set your goals but not doing anything about them contributes to lower self esteem because you will then see yourself as incompetent.

On the other hand, if you have written your checklist and checked all of it at the end of the day, you’ll feel efficient. Achieving success even on small things is the foundation to achieving bigger goals.

The more goals you achieve, the stronger the confidence you will have for yourself. A healthy confidence in oneself begets a healthy self esteem.

If you have big goals, divide them into small chunks and work on it daily.

5. Do simple acts that count.

Your smile is the most valuable investment that when given you will immediately reap the reward. Doing simple act like this raises your self esteem and elevates your mood.

You will improve your self esteem more when you constantly do the things that are aligned with your values.

It only takes a little effort, like calling a sick friend, sending a thank you note, showing appreciation for others, giving kind words, or even pampering yourself with a gentle massage.

It only takes less than an hour each day to focus your thoughts and put a conscious effort on improving your self esteem. It’s only hard when you think it is.

But once you develop these habits, your self esteem will not only improve but also the quality of your life.

7 Things That Hold You Back From Living Your Highest Potential

0

Fulfilling your highest purpose is your life’s calling. It’s what all comes down to, it’s what gives you meaning. It’s what makes you feel unsettled, restless, excited and passionate.

But in order to fulfill your highest purpose you need to follow the path of passions and discover your highest potential.

Your highest potential is not one thing. You are like a flower with many petals. Living your highest potential means opening yourself to all your passions, like a flower opening its petals, and using your wholeness to project your uniqueness.

That’s what we call the path of passions, do not choose one, but practice as many passions as you can find within yourself. That’s how you unleash your highest potential.

But there are 7 things that are holding you back from living your highest potential.

7 Things Preventing You From Living Your Highest Potential:things-that-hold-you-back-living-highest-potential

1. You fear the unknown.

Transitioning from a place of comfort and familiarity to something new and exciting could be a scary thing.

Even though the comfort zone is boring and life sucking, we might prefer it over the unknown.

We are all scared of the unknown and this fear spreads among many areas of our life. We prefer our comfort zone because we think it’s safer, we believe we have bigger control there. But reality is, the comfort zone is as big of an illusion as the fear of the unknown.

So we might as well risk going out of our comfort zone for the things we are passionate.

This fear is a big blockage in people preventing them from living their full potential, maybe the biggest. We just stop trying new things.

But it’s our ego that’s scared, our heart screams for us to stretch our comfort zone and try all that we want to try.

You want to learn how to play a piano, dance, paint, you want to write a book, sculpt, sing, travel the world, start a business…

Whatever you are passionate to do, stop listening to your fear and do it.

You don’t have to do it drastically. You can start gradually, step by step.

For example, if you feel your calling is in taking care of the environment, start small by planting trees in your backyard. Check what the environmentalists are doing, including the programs they’re offering.

Just taking small steps in a consistent manner will eventually lead you to where you want to be.

2. You have habits that don’t support your calling.

The things that we keep doing everyday turn into habits that our minds and bodies do automatically. That’s how the mind saves energy.

Starting something new and getting on a different path means you have to change your old habits and implement new ones that can greatly support you on your journey.

Most people are prisoners of habits that no longer serve them. And because that’s what they have been doing since who knows when, they don’t even realize.

You can’t start practicing something new, something you are passionate about, if there is no place in your lifestyle for that thing.

That’s why you need to change and replace some of your old habits that no longer serve you.

Changing things is not just good for realizing your passions but it creates neural plasticity, it keeps your brain young. Changing your habits forces your brain to create new neural connections and think in different patterns.

Start by taking a different route to work, or rearrange your room. The point is to do something different that will stimulate your brain to stretch its patterns.

As your brain becomes more flexible, it would be easier for you to create new habits that support your calling.

3. You surround yourself with negative friends or family.

Being connected with your family and friends, you have to be on the same level as they are, which means if they gossip, you would need to gossip too.

They may be offended if you go away, but it might be the only way to stay determined in living your higher potential.

This may create some issues because they wouldn’t understand you and why you changed just that.

You don’t need to lose them and remove them from your life just because they are on a different path, you just have to distance yourself a little bit to give yourself enough room to evolve, follow your passions and live your highest potential.

Do not let their comments and opinions stop you from following your personal truth.

Keep taking the changes that can support you in your calling, keep following your passions. If their remorse gets bigger, it’s then that you have to decide whether you continue surrounding yourself with them or remove them for good.

If they love you, they will accept you and support you in your worthwhile undertakings.

But if they want you to be just like them, there’s no reason why you continue to hang out with them.

Besides, when you become the best version of yourself, the right people will notice you and come flocking to you.

4. You’re not fully committed.

Lacking a full commitment is a sign that you’re still living with your old paradigm, you are not all in.

When you follow your highest calling, you should be fully committed. Both of your feet should be on the same ground.

Remind yourself of your why. When you do follow your passions and highest purpose without reserve, The Universe will open the path to you making your journey much clearer.

5. You lack the right vision.

Having a clear vision of what your passions are is crucial. It’s almost like a half way there. You need to have a clear vision of your best self.

If you lack clear vision, you easily give up when faced with challenges along the way because you forget what you are after.

Develop a clear vision of where you want to be and let nothing stop you. See yourself who you want to become. How you talk, how you walk, what kind of hobbies do you have.

Follow your heart and respect your passions. Whatever you want to try, know exactly what that thing is.

If you want to write a book, think about what kind of book that will be. Be specific, start developing the plot, the characters. Before you even realize you will start writing it.

6. You don’t have enough faith.

Faith is trusting yourself that you have within what you need to live your full potential.

You’re like a seed who is destined to become a tree, but when you are just a seed it’s hard to believe how big you’ll become.

But either way, if the seed believes it can grow into a tree, it takes the necessary steps to grow and becomes a tree.

Even though you might be destined for your highest potential, you have the ability of free will and you might prevent yourself from living your truth by covering yourself with addictions, doubts, and other self destructing mechanisms.

7. You are inconsistent.

Living your highest potential is something you do every day. It’s not something you reach, it’s a way of life.

It takes time to develop yourself into your highest unfolding. Get clear about what you want to do, then get a little closer each day.

You may not have it all figured out, but at least you create some action that moves you forward.

You don’t have to get overly serious about it either. Just keep it light and fun, just like you feel when you think about your passion and purpose.

Make it like a play, not just so that you don’t get overwhelmed along the way, but because that’s what it should be.
