Kiss of Reality
To talk of illusions, are’t they great? illusion or day dreaming help us to think of what we want to become in life. We literally see how life revolves us in that position . It’s an entirely different world of pleasure, comfort and imagination. Most of our day dreaming or illusions make us more and more egocentric. The word ego means self . Hence by dreaming and visualization we become self-centered. We never realize that things we dream of can be achieved by us by programming ourselves to work for it . But somehow the pleasure of dreaming ourselves as someone important takes us away from the realistic approach to achieve that level of self-satisfaction and self-accomplishment.
This leads to an increase in the frustration levels of our mind . Why frustrations? This is because what we are, and what we dream of are totally different .
We raise ourselves to a very high pedestal and we see that we are not able to live up to our expectations. And when this happens, we become mentally restless.
The vital solution that will dissolve all our problems is to make up our minds to get realistic . This approach will make us come in terms with reality. And there is no better road to self-improvement rather than the path of reality. When you gauge yourself , you subconsciously make two columns in your mind. One consists of the things that you are good at ,and the other consists of the ares where you can improve. And believe it will boost us to work on our weak areas and strengthen them. Fortifying your weak areas will harness your conscience and improve you convert would be to must be. And when someting must happen, it always happens. This new you will improve you for the better and increase your levels of self-esteem.It will change your outlook to things.
I would like to type the thoughts that have just sprung up in my mind. Read and ponder on each line.I admit that it’s a sad aim at poetry, but I am allowing my mind to control my typing.
If you want to achieve what you couldn’t have
If you want to be what you want to be
If you want to do what you can do,
but aren’t doing
If there is a place,you want to be
but haven’t been
You will get there, become the one and do it
Cos its all in a state of mind.
Make up your mind and rule the stars.
Control your mind and make your fate.
I hope this conveys my thoughts with clarity.So it’s some advice and suggestion to all those eyeballs running through this part of the book, to keep their heads on their shoulders without using heads and shoulders! And believe me guys; you guys have it in you to make it big . Just don’t let that teenage iconoclastic habit rule over sense.
幻想对于我们来说不美妙吗？在我们一生中，是幻想，或者是说，是白日梦，让我们去思考成为什么样的人．我们认真的观察我们的生命是循着怎样的一条轨道．那时严格完全不同的世界，它充满了愉悦＼轻松和创意．我们的大多数幻想和白日梦会使得我们越来越以自我为中心．＂ＥＧＯ＂这个词的意思是自我．由于幻想，我们变得以自我为中心．我们从未有意识到，我们所梦想的事情是可以通过我们周详的计划去实现的．但不知何故，幻想成为某个著名人物的愉悦，却使我们远离了能够与满意和成就真实接触的机会．
无边际的幻想导致我们挫折感越来越强．为什么会这样？那是因为现实中的我们和幻想中的我们完全不同．我们把自己提到一个很高的层面，但实际上，我们根本不可能心如所愿．而每每想到这，我们便会焦虑不按．
要想解决所有的这些问题，我们必须让自己变得现实些，这样将使得我们接触现实．没有比了解实际情况更能够提高我们自己的了．当你评价你自己的时候，在我们脑海中，会下意识的用两种不同的方式．一种包括我们所擅长的方面，另一种则是我们能够有所改进的．相信我这是一个好的开始，它将促使我们不断的改进＼完善自我．这就像给我们的良知套上了缰绳，使我们的不足的方面得到改善，提高我们的自信．有了自信，我们就会收获我们想要的结果．当某些事情要发生的时候，它总会发生的．崭新的，充满自信的我们又会促进我们的发展，并且提高我们的自信心．这将会改变我们对事物的看法．
我喜欢把那些从我大脑里跳出来的每一个想法记录下来．我静静的读并且认真思考每一行，我承认它也许不是一首好诗，但是，我可以说，我记录下来的都是我思想的每一个微粒．
如果你想要做到你能力之外的事情
如果你想要成为你所期望的样子
如果你想要做你能够做的，
但你没有做
如果有一个地方，你想要去
但却没有去
你今后一定会到那里，成为那个成功到达的人
因为成和败全都在你的思想
下定决心你就可以支配你的命数
管制你的思想就可以改变自己的命运
我希望这些话，清楚的表达了我的思想．对正在观看这部分书的人来说它是建议和忠告，使他们能够有自己的想法，无须提醒．相信我，你们身上也有这些让幻想成为现实的潜能．不要让十几岁的叛逆心理控制了自己的理智．
