What we talked about in the previous two parts of this in-depth looking lifestyle development guide was just the beginning of a wonderful voyage into a really wonderful life.
What it is all about is getting better at managing your own skills of living the life you expect to be living. This is what it is all about, really. But how do we do this?
In this final part of the Ubuntulook’s lifestyle development series I would love to get to the point of no-return. Why, you will ask? Because I want to give everyone the chance to be his own best self. For some, the content of this article will sound crazy; for others, it will make total sense and will lead them towards joining their best self completely in life, during time. I think there should be a chance for everyone and I just want to give it here. No strings attached, only down to earth conversation to let the most essential (important!) things be understood by you. Part by part, this series of quite short articles is becoming a point of deep reflection, inner introspection and a place in which every single detail stays bounded with the whole in a perfect tension and harmony, making perfect sense.
I can see lots of graphical interfaces getting better, more defined skins and themes, offering a blissful atmosphere to the visitor, or the user. Tv commercials and other flashy stuff, eye-catching images and colours; Yes. Everything can appear great, blissful, enlightened by trends, fashion and public interest. But this won’t last for long. During time everything fades, every white thing blackens, everything goes away if it is not nourished and cultivated the right way. This is how emotions, feelings, states and life in general work.
Consider dropping every useless surplus of negative junk
Cultivating your life the right way should lead you to tell what’s good or bad for you; what’s really valuable and what’s really worth of your attention and time. What’s essential to know, in this case, is to become conscious on how you act – react towards the experiences you live, and to model your behaviour in the right way for you to be successful in life, developing great habits (both mental and practical) to let your success grow, while dropping bad ones.
This is why I only encourage you to pursue those passions you’re really into.
Let only the important things be the path of your life.
Exceeding chaotic and useless activities, subjects, things, arts, study guides, critic stuff, written stuff that you find everywhere, judgements, general consideration, counterproductive thoughts, study books, wasting time if you have no practical return, redundant thinking, regrets, people you knew once and you have never met again, wasting time with something or someone that is not any good for you, reviews about something, negative people, negative music, negative-everything, criticism, undecision, abstract things and matters is total JUNK. Pursuing excellence in what you love, excellence in the way you want life to appear, excellence in your personal view and take about something, excellence in what you really want from your life. You got it: you are going to model your life with the only thinking. Your imagination, you will make it reality.
How can you tell what’s importan for you and what is not?
Just ask yourself, paying attention to your physical response towards the activity. Let your heart to the talking. Consider your evolutionary and biological roots, your instincts are the only thing you have to follow. If you feel that something is non sense, just drop it immediately;
Be superior, look for your best self in others, in you and in what you love doing in your spare time, and your main activities (work, ecc). By saying “be superior” I am not saying you should be that way towards other human beings (that would become a negative thought!):
you have to be superior to what YOU were yesterday.
Detaching yourself from the result
This is what it is all about. This is what I am talking about. This is what Robert Pirsig is really talking about too, in his famous book, Zen and Motorcycle Maintenance.
Detachment from the result means focusing on the process, on doing something, on living.
It means acting more, and thinking less.It means nourishing ourselves from our experience more, and thinking-about-doing-something less. This is all we should remember, in acting the way we want, in building the life we want, the one we have ever dreamt of. This is where everything reaches its maximum height and depth. This is the really important point both you and me are geared towards, unconsciously.
We are naturally made for more, there is no point in hiding ourselves into mediocrity or uselesness.
We are made for excellence, we are made for more than some useless thought or some useless micromanaging. Micromanaging is bad for us. The answer to this is just to take on new responsabilities in our life, new attitudes towards life, looking at it from different perspectives and approaching life with a really great smile; while dropping everything useless from your life. This is what I did, this is what I wanted to do.
Think in affirmation, not in negation
Uncertainty is not welcomed today. Your brain doesn’t know what negation means and the only way you can communicate directly to your interlocutors is through affirmations. Think positive, think in positive statements, think seriously great and live big, the same way you dream, the same way you learn to live through experience of realy and tangible stuff.
