Greatness means that your goals are challenging enough to make you more than you currently are.

If you think big enough, act boldly enough, and believe with your heart, everything becomes possible.

Make a Choice, to have a Chance, to make a Change.

Are you willing to question your own thought process and open yourself to believe an entirely new set of possibilities?

“Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better”

Rather than analyzing and thinking, ACT.

Here it goes 5 questions to help you become greater and start climbing the mountain. Remember that I am helping myself as I help others, so this is a personal opinion and I don’t claim to hold the universal truth.

1. Define a goal!

With a clear goal, we have something to Focus on.

We can get lost sometimes.

With a clear image of where we want to be, it becomes easy to get on track again. There is no problem in getting lost if we reach the desired results in the end.

The journey is still the reward, but the goal is the direction of the journey.

Question yourself: What goals do I have?

  • Movement?
    Question: How/Where do you want to live?
    ➤ My personal goal is to live in a small house in nature, with gardens.
  • Money?
    Question: What would I be doing if money was no Object?
    ➤ My personal goal is to be a millionaire before 25 so I don’t have to worry about it.
  • Relationships?
    Question: What is my purpose in human interactions?
    Question: Do I fear to be alone?
    Question: What is authentic love?
    ➤ My personal goal is to maintain a healthy and growth-based relationship.

2. Do your own research!

If you want to build an audience, start provoking and interacting. Provide value to others. Inform yourself. Keep improvements as a constant process.

“When people know, they become an unstoppable force. Absolutely nothing can stand between them and the manifestation of their dreams”

  • TIP: Ask for knowledge, and you shall receive…
    Question: In what areas of life do I not apply the information I have?
    Question: Who inspires me? What can I learn from them?
  • TIP: Know Thyself.
    Question: What are the most fundamental assumptions I make?
    Question: Could my most fundamental assumptions be incorrect?

3. Form a habit!

The only way to accomplish something big is to make small improvements on a regular basis.

The energy required to break a bad habit and form a good one is nothing compared to the energy spent on regrets and complaints.

Be mindful about this. Start small and grow with time. Focus on doing something small each day and deploy a system to accomplish your goals.

Everything is new,
Great things take time to externalize what has changed.
We don’t have 400 million years to watch a crystal formation.

  • TIP: If you need to have more time, start changing the priorities.
    → Question: What stories am I telling myself?
  • TIP: Connect more with nature.
    → Question: Why am I not where I want to be?
  • TIP: Take walks in the place you live.
    Question: What am I not letting myself see?

4. Try new things!

You can’t know if you are good at something if you have never done it.
You can’t know if life is going to help you if you have not opened yourself to it.

You are in the exact place which you need to be. What happens is that you can move if where you are is no longer beneficial.

There is freedom to change if you’d like to, and it is not a bad thing.
Change is constant in nature, allow it.

Seek experiences, not entertainment. Seek growth, not stagnation.

  • Are your perceptions limited to 5 senses?
    Question: Could there be more than just this 3D reality?

5. Learn from mistakes!

Don’t criticize yourself. Be your own friend.

Your ego is not your amigo.

There is no use in criticizing yourself for what has already passed.

If you have lost a bus for being late, don’t worry, take the next and leave 10 minutes earlier the next day.

If you have broken something, buy another and try to be more cautious next time. And hope for not having the next time.

It has already happened, you can’t go back and change it.
Accept! Forgive!
You are a not-so-perfect human being, so what?

It does not matter if you make mistakes, as long as you improve with them

Thanks for Reading ❤
