One of the most common injuries people experience is to the lower lumbar of the back. Almost anything can trigger it. If a person is sedentary for long periods of time, they can experience low back discomfort. [Read more…] about 3 Exercises For A Strong Lower Back
Have you ever met someone who only had kind and loving words to say about other people? I think that’s one of the highest compliments you can pay someone. I wonder how they got that way. Were they born like that or did they work at it? Whichever category they fall in, I am inspired by them.
Like most human beings, I am wired to judge people and situations. My ego can’t help itself. It automatically sees a person’s mistakes as major moral failings, rather than small stumbles that come with being human. And if I’m being self-righteous or feel like someone mistreated me, then I go as far as to say, “what goes around, comes around.” People who are loving don’t act this way. They see another person’s challenge through compassionate and empathetic eyes. I strive to be like this.
In their upcoming book, Phil Stutz and Barry Michels share how to get out of “The Maze” of judgment that ego and negative thoughts trap us in. Follow these steps to become a more powerful, loving and compassionate human being.
Step 1. Concentration. Imagine you are surrounded by a warm liquid light that is infinitely loving. Feel your heart expand far beyond you so that you can become one with this love. When you bring your heart back to normal size, this infinite energy compresses itself into your chest. It’s this unstoppable compressed loving force that just wants to give the love away.
Step 2. Transmission. Focus on the person who has triggered your anger or judgment. Visualize their presence. Send all the love in your chest directly to them, hold absolutely nothing back. It’s like completely expelling a deep breath.
Step 3. Penetration. Follow the love as it leaves your chest and when it enters the other person at their solar plexus, don’t just watch it. Feel it enter them. This will give you the sense that you’re actually completely one with them. It erases the distinction between you and them. Now just relax. Feel yourself once again surrounded by infinite love and it will return to you all the love you gave away.
There’s one difference between people who are loving and forgiving when someone makes a mistake compared to people who judge. The former have set a standard for themselves that love is the most powerful energy they can be and give in every situation. They are not swayed by how other people act. What happened doesn’t matter either. They choose love. If someone in your life has done something you feel is unforgivable, don’t judge or abandon them. Give them love. It’s a gift to you both.

Life can be hard so you have to be relentless in the pursuit of your goals to make it. Very few people are born with an unflinching determination to work through adversity and setback. I certainly wasn’t. I’ve had to develop this kind of mindset. It’s taken some time and I am still learning how to increase my resolve to fight for my dreams.
I love a great story where the person overcame personal setbacks to reach their goals. And because the world is filled with these special individuals, I have plenty of people to learn from. All the motivational and personal growth speakers I listen to each week, Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins, Jim Rohn, Brian Johnson and Hal Elrod, triumphed over challenging life circumstances to realize their dreams. And once they made it, they continued doing what got them there. There’s no end game for them. It’s a continuous journey to grow, be happy and serve.
The manual for being successful was written a long time ago. We know what to do. That’s not the issue. It’s the daily practice that people fail at. You must be committed to doing what you don’t feel like doing when you’re tired and the voice in your head tells you “not today” or “it’s okay to change your mind.” That voice you hear isn’t interested in your dreams. It only cares about doing as little as possible even if that means not realizing your dreams. You have to be disciplined and guard against that. Here’s what to do in 3 steps:
1. Make a commitment that you will not quit under any circumstance until you win. Winning means reaching 100% of your goal.
2. Fill your mind with positive thoughts and your life with positive loving people who are on a mission equal to or greater than yours. Any other influences in your life are distractions.
3. Eat healthy and exercise daily. Pursuing your dreams is hard work. You have to be built for it because it’s not a question of “if” challenges will occur, but rather “when” they do, can you mentally and physically handle them? With a healthy and active lifestyle, you can.
Starting today, take on the attitude that you are going to realize your dream no matter what. You’re going to eat healthy and workout whether you’re on vacation or not. You will work to achieve your goals even when other people say you can’t or have given up on theirs. At 2BeRe-U we are big dreamers and goal-setters with a relentless commitment to be our best and inspire you to do the same. Become a Stronger Total Being Member now to achieve your goals and more.
