In The Matrix, we see the first time Neo dodges bullets. I like to believe that it is Neo's ability to slow down internally that gives him clarity and focus in the outer world. Now, more than ever, it's important to manage yourself in the midst of life situations unfolding. One way to slow oneself down is via meditation. Start out simple. Can I commit to a practice of 30 seconds every day for 21 days?

The answer is in the question. Cheers! 🥂

Berry Gordy's movie The Last Dragon conveys an important message about responsibility and self-definition: "Who's the master?!... I AM..." Our reality reflects what we strive for. If a person focuses on their limitations and the difficulty of change, they will create a life defined by those thoughts. Start with a positive emotion and consistently affirm your identity.

I am, I can, I have...

One of the key points in The Magic of Believing by Claude M. Bristol is the transformative power of believing. If what we believe drives our behaviors, ideas, and feelings then imagine the possibilities of what we can do for ourselves in terms of kindness, peace, love, gratitude, and joy...all from within. The only one responsible for this is yourself, especially in your adult life.

I get to be responsible for my beliefs. AWESOME!

A friend asked me, "How do you eat an elephant?" The answer is, "One bite at a time." We often become overwhelmed with achieving goals and don't realize that any goal can be broken down into small simple steps. In a world full of constant ads and marketing we have the power of choice to change from within. All that it takes is a tiny seed, aka a small simple step, and watering that seed continuously. It will grow.

Limitless by Jim Kwik has an entire chapter on the significance of small simple steps.

Anxiety comes from living in the future and fearing what could go wrong, while perfectionism is the pursuit of flawlessness. It's okay to be wrong sometimes; the process matters more than the result, and small steps can lead to significant results. Embracing imperfection can bring inner freedom and positive change. In Stephen Guise's book How to Be an Imperfectionist there's a deeper discussion and actionable techniques.

Panache Desai's book "You Are Enough" has a part that helps us understand the human collective experience and how we can shape our behavior in the world. "...in a vain outward search for something that no one and nothing in this world could give you. After all, how could you hold a planet full of people who don't love and accept themselves accountable to love and accept you...?"

The answer is in the question. Cheers! 🥂

“Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally. If you want to take responsibility for your life, you must choose one of those three options, and you must choose now. Then accept the consequences. No excuses. No negativity. No psychic pollution. Keep your inner space clear.” The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
