Your Self Improvement Blog

Are you happy with your life or, indeed, with yourself? In all probability that there are things that you would want to alter about both you and your life – I’ve rarely come across anybody who’s one hundred percent happy. People often think that if they improve themselves, get fit, buy a new car, go on a great holiday that, then, they’ll be happy. That kind of ‘happy’, however, is transient and superficial. True happiness must be lasting and not based on having this or doing that.

The one place where you will discover happiness is within. Sadly, that is a bridge too far for the vast majority of people[spin] because the normal person’s ‘within’ is [spin]hidden from them by what psychologists call ‘The Sentry’, a defence mechanism that we’ve all got that prevents anybody else getting into our subconscious minds where they could brainwash us. Unfortunately, this ‘Sentry’ keeps us out too! And with good reason – or, at least, it appears like a good idea until you take a closer look at how we operate – our beliefs about how the world works and who we are are stored in our subconscious. You wouldn’t want to go messing with that stuff, would you? Or would you? Because most of us believe ourselves to be inadequate at least in some way, most of us aren’t totally happy with who we are. That’s because our beliefs are not grounded in fact but on an accumulation of what could be termed the programming or conditioning that we were subject to during what is generally described as our formative years. This programming or conditioning is both the source of your discomfort with yourself and, just as importantly, everything that you perceive to be wrong in your life.

Our reality is created by our beliefs – it is those beliefs that automatically dictate our behaviour, our actions, our reactions and our interactions with everybody else. It is through this process that we, ourselves, create our version of reality. What you’re thinking about, at the deepest subconscious level, literally creates your life. And it ain’t real, it’s based on what others did for us or to us during those formative years. So of course you want to go messing with your beliefs, because normal beliefs hold normal people back.

You’ve got to go beyond your beliefs. You’ve got to get to the real, inner you, to find true happiness – that is where you’ll find a you that is unstained by the crap of normal conditioning, unsullied by the deeply held beliefs that mess up our so-called normal lives – silly beliefs that keep us in our place – like we should know our place, like you have to work hard to succeed, like pleasure/pain principle, that all laughing comes to crying – prepare your own list.

Forget that crap. Also, forget about who you believed you were and discover who you really are – and the life that you can really have. Your mind’s been focused on normal crap – put a stop to it. I offer my clients various forms of ‘mental calming measures’ – meditation if you will – you’ve got to calm down, wake up and see the light. Only then you will find true happiness.
