Life Advice Blog #15 - Personal Comfort

    Personal growth is more than taking on new experiences and learning new things, it is also about personal comfort.  If a person is not comfortable with themselves, then they will have a difficult time becoming the person they want to be or achieving their goals.  Being comfortable is so freeing and life changing that it is surprising that many people do not practice it.  They are afraid of others to the point where they believe they need to appease them rather than be themselves.  However, those who are successful do not do this and enjoy sharing their own thoughts and opinions.  Personally, I have three methods to being more comfortable in life; speaking freely, positivity, and being yourself.


     Feeling comfortable means allowing yourself to speak freely.  It is important to speak your mind when the time is right.  Many people do not like speaking their mind, because they are afraid of what others will think.  However, this should not prevent you from sharing your own thoughts or opinions. Everybody has something to bring to the table, including yourself.  An idea you may think is horrible may end up being a great one in the eyes of others.  This will not only help you be more comfortable with yourself, but also increases the chance of becoming successful.  People who are not afraid to speak their mind move far in life.


     Being positive about the current situation also provides comfort.  Many people discount the importance of smiling and telling yourself “this is ok.”  However, this has been proven to boost your mood and allow you to be more confident during awkward situations.  Something as simple as a smile can help boost your mood when you are depressed.  It will not happen immediately, but if you continue practicing, and remain consistent, you will see a drastic difference.


     The idea of being yourself is a great way to feel more comfortable.  The problem is that people say “be yourself” but do not fully explain what that means.  Being yourself means acting the way you would act alone or with your family.  If you are a quiet person, do not feel the need to speak. If you are tired, you do not need to act as if you are happy and ready to party.  The reason people have trouble being themselves is because they are afraid to be rejected by their peers.  However, the whole goal of a relationship is to love/respect the person for who they are and how they act.  So, if you be yourself, and people reject you for it, then they were never worthy of your time.  Eventually, you will find people who like you for who you truly are.  You will have made new relationships with those who do not judge you for your true self.


     There are many successful people who have accomplished their goals because they are comfortable with themselves.  If you are someone who struggles with personal comfort, I encourage you try the three methods I have provided.  What have you got to lose?  The worst case scenario is that the methods do not work.  The best case scenario is that your life changes for the better.  The more comfortable you are with yourself, the better you will feel and the happier you will be in life.  I wish you luck in your future growth.

Five Important Life Lessons to Live By

     Today, I thought I would do something a little different.  Instead of discussing one topic, I thought I would share some life lessons based on my experience.  These nuggets of wisdom have helped me progress through life with an open, confident, and positive attitude.  I hope you benefit from them as much as I have.  Here are five important lessons to live by. 1. Speak up for Yourself      Far too many live in silence due to the fear of conflicting ideologies.  Because of this, they end up putting themselves second to other people, agreeing with them, and/or allowing themselves to be pushed around.  People can and will take advantage, and it is saddening to know there are people who allow this to happen.  Everyone deserves to be heard.  Do not be afraid to defend yourself or your opinions when need be just because it conflicts with another person.  They are not better than you nor are their beliefs.  ...

Finding Your Creativity - 5 Methods

     Creativity is an invaluable resource and the backbone to human progression.   Every advancement made throughout human history was the result of someone’s creative and intellectual mind.   Planes, trains, and automobiles are great examples.   However, creativity is not used solely for the progression of mankind.   Creativity can also be used in an individual’s everyday life to make life easier and more enjoyable.   People use their creativity to solve problems, make their daily routine more efficient and less time consuming, as well as for entertainment purposes.   If you have ever made up a story in your head while bored you know what I am talking about, or if you played with action figures, inanimate objects, or roleplaying games.      As kids, we seem to have a limitless supply of creativity.   Much of that has to do with our curiosity, innocence, and lack of responsibility.   However, some ‘grow up’ a...

Life Advice Blog #21 - Relaxation

     Relaxation is just as important as working hard.  People tend to work themselves to the bone in order to achieve their goals.  Everyone needs to do this once in a while.  However, constantly working this way can lead to fatigue, ultimately leading to the person giving up on what they set out to do.  This is why there has to be a balance between hard work and relaxation.  Working hard all of the time will lead to failure due to fatigue.  Constantly relaxing leads to laziness, meaning nothing will be accomplished.  By balancing hard work and relaxation, a person is able to accomplish their goals while also maintaining the motivation to do so.      Nobody should think that relaxing is a waist of time.  Relaxing is the best way to regain the strength and motivation to work hard.  Without relaxation, success would be much more difficult to obtain, because people would lose the motivation to push forward....
