"You will either step forward into growth or you will step back into safety" -  Abraham Maslow

Stepping forward into growth means getting into the unknown because growth always lies in the unknown. In other words, stepping back into safety means playing it safe within the known territory.

The situation you face doesn't really matter. With any situation, you always have a choice, getting into unknown or playing it safe with known.

I wanted to articulate the difference between faith and belief and checked several Youtube videos. This is the one that resonates with me the most so far.

Belief is an opinion or a judgement based on one's knowledge and experience. Which means it changes over time as we get more knowledge and experience.

Faith is a complete trust, total conviction because you know something at the deeper level. This inner knowing cannot be explained to others. So, it is quite individual and personal as the guy on the video points out. 

It is much clearer to me now that the key to success is to make mistakes. It sounds ridiculous and counter intuitive. But it is true.

Most people try to avoid mistakes because they are painful, hurting and humiliating. Nobody wants to make mistakes unless they have something big in their mind.

Making mistakes force you to learn something you didn't know at the point. You may need to make the same kind of mistake if you haven't learned the lesson.

Sadhguru said it right! There is no such thing called fear unless you have it in your mind. It is in your mind created by yourself anticipating the future. But the truth is the future hasn't come yet and we don't know what it will be. We just speculate.

It is a very simple fact yet many don't seem to grasp it. Because they are fully identified with their mind. If you understand that you are not your mind, it is much easier not to fear so much. Fear is self-made and you can change it by nature.

"Competition attempts to be like. Creativeness attempts to be unlike. Competition casts all humanity into the same mold. Creativeness makes of each man an individual counterpart of God." - Three Magic Words, Uell S. Andersen.

Here is your options, competition or creativeness. In general, our schooling or education system seems to be choosing competition. So, it is very hard to choose creativeness in this context. However, you need to choose your path even if it is hard.

Whatever you want, you need to feel natural to have it​ or do it or be it. Your feeling is the indicator of your progress toward what you want to manifest in your life.

Feeling resides in your subconscious mind and you can change your feeling by using your conscious mind. It is that simple but not necessarily easy. It takes time actually.

'It is the greatest aspect of life that there is no meaning to it'.

'You are the one who create meaning if you want. But don't make a false purpose like many do. Your purpose is to live, to live totally'.

I agree that there is no meaning of life. And it's very freeing aspect of life. You can do whatever you want because there is no meaning to it originally. It's a white canvas where you can paint whatever and however. It's total freedom you have. But many people restrict themselves. 

You try to figure out what the world is and come up with an idea about the world, which is your worldview. You act based on your worldview.

Why do we need our worldview? Without it, we can't see any meaning and we want meanings. Otherwise, life becomes meaningless.

The world has no meaning while human wants to have meanings. So, we need to have a certain worldview to put meanings on the world.

I watched the video for the first time and I felt something strange. What he is saying is exactly what I do when I want to manifest something special. Self hypnosis is a way to change own thought process into certain direction. Many people seem to be hypnotizing themselves into negative direction without knowing it.

As he says in the video, good thoughts lead good feelings, and then good behaviors. Hence, good results. So, the key is what to think and/or how to think. Thinking is your power. Don't give it up to someone or something.

The video is classic and it's worth revisiting once in a while. Everybody needs to be aware why they are doing what they are doing.

I get questions from my audience about how to get something. Usually they are seeking some tips and tricks that make them to get they want easily. It is a natural human behavior. We want to take easier way if possible. Nothing wrong with it. Actually, it serves us very well. If we didn't seek a better and easier way to move, we wouldn't have invented cars.

The problem is that we tend to avoid to admit the fact anything worthwhile is always uphill, it demands your effort. And you need a strong why that makes you strong enough to do the effort.
