"Life is like riding not a bicycle: if it's hard for you, then you are going uphill."
Somewhere I heard these wonderful words, so vividly characterizing the stages of our life, and I remember them forever. I would even say - not exactly stages, but moments when everything changes and changes for the better
We are often told: "Look around, see how many opportunities, take and use!"
How to see them and where? And why do some people see an opportunity for opportunities around them, while others see continuous limitations. Of course, you say, we are talking about an optimist and a pessimist. About positive and negative attitudes. But not only.
What are all the media talking about in our country today? Of course, about the crisis: tighten your belts tighter, be aware, get ready for no one knows what. Yes, it may be worth consciously tightening your belts, but my question is, how do you feel about this? Is this a time of change and opportunity for you, or is it just a time of limitations? After all, "as you call the boat so it will float."
For example, the company where you work has fallen on hard times, there is not enough room for everyone and you have been asked … What is it? Opportunity or Loss? I invite you to think about the situation in this vein.
Surely, you worked for more than one year in this company, you were regularly paid a good salary, you were considered a professional in your field, the people envied your position. You were at the epicenter of your comfort zone. Even if a worm gnawed from the inside: "you are degrading, you have to grow, it's time to change something." You did not pay attention to the worm, moreover, you came up with effective arguments why everything should remain as it is.
And this is your security function triggered. She is not bad, she protects you from unnecessary stress, her task is to keep the owner in complete safety.
The only question is, how long is this security needed?
What if, in fact, the moment has come when it is necessary to move forward?
It was difficult for you to make this decision, but then it was taken for you, given the opportunity to change your life for the better. What is this if not that magic kick?
There are really a lot of opportunities now.
I'm talking about the job when you can't wait for the morning to continue what you didn't finish yesterday. About life's work, vocation or the opportunity to turn a hobby into a job. They say that when you do what you really love, it brings incredible income. What if now is the time to check it out?
Of course, it will be like riding a bicycle - unusual, not easy, especially uphill. But then the descent, and you remember these delightful sensations when you rush down the hill on a bike ?! This is the feeling of the moment when a caring hand, worried about the comfort zone, let go and allowed you to finally be a little independent, experiment, risk becoming what you may have dreamed of becoming all your life. What are you missing? All the same, there is a crisis on the street.
There is only an important point in this whole story. This is the focus of attention. We have what we believe in. We get what we want in exactly the same way as what we strongly DO NOT want. Therefore, it is so important to want and be afraid consciously and carefully.
A few years ago, when I was just getting up to surf, in the distance in an absolutely deserted sea, I saw a dead seagull. Big one, fat, dead. Not a soul around, only this seagull …
A thought flashed through my mind, what if I drive into it now ?! Will I fall right on it? And for sure! My sail went straight to this place, and around there were kilometers of clear, beautiful water. Floundering in the feathers of a dead seagull, for the first time I thought that I got exactly what I was thinking hard about. So let's think right and positive. Let's think that now is the time for change. And so it will come out.

Head Against Body
Normal 0 false false false RU X-NONE X-NONE The opposition of head and body is deeply embedded in our culture. The head is a bright mind, high spirituality, flight of fantasy, abstraction and global vision. The body, on the other hand, is something interfering, distracting, with its own base needs that arise at the most inopportune moment.
Violence Against Oneself As A Way Of Life
Self-development is wonderful. It is important and necessary to develop useful skills in oneself, to get rid of unnecessary attitudes. However, more and more often, self-development is equated with self-discipline. In fact, it is a method of destructive violence against oneself.

To make EFFORT and to commit VIOLENCE against oneself are two different things! There are difficulties and resistance, it happens that it does not work out immediately and quickly, and of course, if you make an effort, you can come to the desired result.
Middle Age Crisis. Midlife Crisis In Men
A midlife crisis is a temporary unpreparedness of a person's consciousness to set new goals and tasks in life after reaching about forty - forty-five years, when the main set of biological and social tasks has either been successfully completed, or it becomes obvious that it will definitely not be fulfilled.
The Woman Is In Crisis. Man In Crisis
Lovely thoughts aloud: A man in a personal crisis is not doing business, there are debts, cars and other toys break, a faucet flows in the house, and on the table a bottle, in general, slowly suffering and suffering, the man himself dies, lonely and hopelessly.
