BE THE CAPTAIN OF YOUR SHIP!

Want to make huge improvements in your life?

Want to take control of your life?

Then it is time to have a relook on your present strategies. Why, the rest of your life should be best of your life. Accomplishing everything great in life requires significant change that pushes you beyond your comfort zone.

          Many times, the only way to improve our lives is to force ourselves to undergo difficult change. That might mean breaking up and leaving a stale- but comfortable- relationship, leaving a mediocre- but stable- job, moving away from a nice- but uninspiring- location, or anything else that’s holding us back from accomplishing our dreams. You have to also identify what is holding you?

          Of course, dealing with uninvited change in our lives is often difficult and painful. In many cases, instigating major, but necessary, change in our life can be just as painful. But whatever change you’re dealing with, know that how you cope with that change will have an impact on your future. Many a times has been spent on mastering others rather than mastering ourselves. It doesn’t matter where you are; you are nowhere compared to where you can go.

          We fear a lot to take a try. The biggest mistake we take in our life is to continually fearing that we will make one. If you participate in a running race, yes, there is a possibility of losing. There is a possibility of winning also. But if you don’t participate, you have already lost.

          How to have self mastery?

·        Work out a strategy to find the path where to go from the present one. If possible plan a weekly strategy to achieve that dream. A research done by Dr.Gail Matthews, a psychologist from Dominican university shows that people with specific weekly strategies achieve more. She took 267 participants and found that those who wrote down their goals with specific weekly strategies had a 76% success rate compared with 43% who merely stated their goals.

·        Re looks your personal habits. Find out which one is helping to achieve your dreams and which drags you.

·        Take an active approach in life. Self mastery has to start with self honesty. Take actions. Be active on a day to day basic to reach your destiny. No procrastinations.

·        Reassess your strength and weakness.

·        First transformation should happen i9n your inner world; then it will make a ripple in the outer world.

·        Spend time what you are great at and enjoy. By doing so, everything else will become a lot easier and more rewarding.

·        Detect and change your behaviour which affects your workplace peace.

·        We didn’t choose what we were born as, or what or whom we were born with; but at the same time we can choose whom to associate or relate with or where or what we could be. Choose the right contacts.

·        It seems like that it is easier to control others than ourselves. The formation of the true self image after self discovery leads to the correct visual reality.

·        Belief (or faith) in oneself is possibly the greatest belief that a man could harbour (after belief in god) .the human body and mind is incredible, when it comes to feats of greatness. All of these were possible with power of belief.

·        To become masters of the self, we must first believe that we can become masters of the self. That self-belief is the dynamo which unrelentingly fuels the journey of a man on the path of self mastery, in the face of failures and pitfalls.

·        Improve your will power and commitment.

·        Power of self reliance is one of the core strength of the master- which he develops and guards the persistently. He thus becomes the rock to which others lean onto, just like the mountain to which the dew gravities to.

·        Power of acceptance; some of the greatest challenges we often face in life involve accepting life for the bad things it throws at us through the unpleasant circumstances, events, things and people we may encounter. Accept that we are transforming by passing through difficult times. Accept the fact. It involves a lot of patience and endurance.

Life is wonderful. Many may not accept this, by seeing the present problems they are facing. Sometimes, ships have to face some rough seas and high tides. But in the entire journey, this part may be very small. After passing over the rough seas and high tides, there will be a calm sea for days together or even months together. Life is also like that. We may have to cross over difficult situations with a lot of courage and positive approach. Then we can make the life really wonderful. Yes, it is in our hands.

     You are the captain of your ships!

     You are the master for your soul!
