Greatness!! @desmondboyd - Tumblr Blog

Most people go outside of themselves to find healing. They think they’d feel better if their partner changed. They think they’re unhappy because they need a different job or house or car. Most people spend their entire life trying to control what can’t be controlled for forever, outside circumstances.

The answer to our problems is simple, it is self love. The more you love yourself internally the better your life is going to be externally.

Right now stop and take a few minutes to honor and love yourself. Give yourself some credit, you’ve come pretty dang far. Applaud yourself for never giving up, you’re still here aren’t you? 👏🏻👏🏻 You’re doing the best you can so forgive yourself for any shortcomings, forgive yourself for not performing as good as you thought you should have. Breathe deep in & out. And ALWAYS remember to love yourself despite what’s going on outside of you. Become your own best friend. Get so comfortable in the skin you’re in. After all, you’re the only person you will ever spend 24/7/365 with!

It’s your life, MAKE IT EPIC! -Jhon LeBaron

Tell everyone you know: “My happiness depends on me, so you’re off the hook.” And then demonstrate it. Be happy, no matter what they’re doing. Practice feeling good, no matter what. And before you know it, you will not give anyone else responsibility for the way you feel – and then, you’ll love them all. Because the only reason you don’t love them, is because you’re using them as your excuse to not feel good.

Figure out who you are separate from your family, and the man or woman you’re in a relationship with. Find who you are in this world and what you need to feel good alone. I think that’s the most important thing in life. Find a sense of self because with that, you can do anything else.

Tips for Enhancing your Ability to Learn and Remember

1. Pay attention. You can’t remember something if you never learned it, and you can’t learn something—that is, encode it into your brain—if you don’t pay enough attention to it. It takes about eight seconds of intense focus to process a piece of information into your memory. If you’re easily distracted, pick a quiet place where you won’t be interrupted.

2. Involve as many senses as possible. Try to relate information to colors, textures, smells, and tastes. The physical act of rewriting information can help imprint it onto your brain. Even if you’re a visual learner, read out loud what you want to remember. If you can recite it rhythmically, even better.

3. Relate information to what you already know. Connect new data to information you already remember, whether it’s new material that builds on previous knowledge, or something as simple as an address of someone who lives on a street where you already know someone.

4. For more complex material, focus on understanding basic ideas rather than memorizing isolated details. Practice explaining the ideas to someone else in your own words.

5. Rehearse information you’ve already learned. Review what you’ve learned the same day you learn it, and at intervals thereafter. This “spaced rehearsal” is more effective than cramming, especially for retaining what you’ve learned. Source: http://www.helpguide.org/life/improving_memory.htm

Two things to remember in life: Take care of your thoughts when you are alone, and take care of your words when you are with people.

Quotes ‘n’ Thoughts (via onlinecounsellingcollege)

I use to believe that caring for yourself was selfish. But I've learned I had it all wrong. Don't leave your self hanging or lacking for no one! You will only hate yourself at the end of the day. Put yourself first, love yourself first, and you will love what you can do for yourself and others. #TryingSomethingNew #goodvibesonly #Growth💪🏾 #NoGymPiece😂

you know whats toxic and unhealthy? cis-heteronormative relationship values displayed in social media memes such as sneaking through your partners phone, cheating, constant jealousy, banning your partner from talking to the “opposite sex”, stalking your partner’s social media, broadcasting our drama on socia media, bragging about how youre “crazy” cause you yell at them for everything and threaten to harm them etc.

im really tired of seeing those memes and im tired of trying to build romantic relationships with people who think relationships are supposed to be like that

Reasons why I love the craft. It's a beautiful system. On the outside looking in you don't understand and from the inside I can't explain. I'm forever Travelin/G\ East! #2b1ask1 #bluelodge #princehall #masonicmonday

How to Find Direction in your Life

1. Keep a journal where you record all your different thoughts, feelings and ideas. Look for patterns and consistency – ideas that grab you and get stronger over time.

2. Explore new passions, interests and hobbies. Some of those will stick and intensify; others will slowly fade and disappear.

3. Step outside your comfort zone and try and break with your old routine. That will lead you in different directions, release creative thoughts, and spark some fresh ideas.

4. Talk to people to get different perspectives, and listen to their feedback, and points of view.

5. Have the self-confidence to listen to your heart, and work of developing your creativity.

6. Review your current goals – and how much they mean to you. Ask yourself: Do you still feel motivated, energised and inspired?

7. Surround yourself with people who are optimistic, positive, affirming, and who want the best for you. Also, it may help to widen your circle of friends as that helps to uncover different aspects of yourself.
