Dive deep into reality and ourselves.
"Don't rely on others for empowerment or encouragement, even love! You have to provide that for yourself and then if you get it from others, its just a plus."
The cycle of defeat is the cycle that most of society is stuck in right now, it is perpetuated in family homes, in schools and in places of work. Instead of picking each other up and finding out what the strengths of the individual are, we put them down subtly (Usually as a joke or banter - Which obviously has its place if used correctly) or not so subtly. The first thing to understand is that we are run by the subconscious mind, the mind underneath or behind the conscious mind that we are aware of. The subconscious mind controls our actions, thoughts and emotions and is the ultimate catalyst of our achievements and defeats. Now that you know this if you didn't already, you know that you've got some work to do if you are not where you want to be. Some may say that work is not involved, but I'm sorry to admit that there is and it can be nasty and I know because I can be one of the laziest mofo's you ever met. You realise how much power you are giving 'others' or images of 'others' in your mind, you literally create your reality in your mind - that is where your reality is and if you have voices of doubt or memories of failure playing over and over again in that reality what do you think that is going to do? It's going to fuck you over in various areas of your life, especially the ones that you care about and want to progress in. Now you may admit that you need others to empower you at this point, to help you have new thoughts about your reality and about you, but the funny thing is - you don't. You have the ability, the strength and the choice to be that voice for yourself, to empower yourself. You need to make a choice to remove anything that doesn't reinforce that empowerment. You need to cultivate the reality you need to live the life you want, your internal eco-system of empowerment, love and positivity. You cannot rely on the outside world for that empowerment. If I relied totally on the external, and that is something I have needed to overcome my addiction to (and still working on), I would never achieve anything that I really wanted to and BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE (NOT GOOD). I wouldn't be running a start up videography company (that isn't currently earning the amount I would like - but pushing on), I wouldn't be pursuing a dream career as a film maker and I wouldn't be writing this - because I would be a mess of self loathing and hate. There are not enough people in my life and in the lives of many of the people I know that are empowering and encouraging them. Because of this I find it bloody hard to give that encouragement to any one else and I often forget the importance of it, unless I'm stone drunk where I will talk of the greatness of the people closest to me and often tell them, as well as being a dumb ass drunk. It's a cycle and sorry to be the one to tell you this and it's pretty hard for me to admit, but the cycle starts with you and with me. You have to literally change your internal reality and voice. You need to encourage yourself to be all that you know deep down you can be and when you feel that you can totally provide this for yourself and see the awesome effects it has on your life, you will naturally feel inclined to share the love with others. You will lift them up like you lift yourself up. "It is your primary responsibility to empower yourself and go after the life YOU WANT and you will be a beacon of light for others. A lighthouse in the distance on a turbulent sea." There is a darker path that a lot of people pursue that involves putting people down or judging those around them in the most disturbing ways to lift themselves up, but these people are doomed to a life of deep internal suffering because when they judge those people, they are judging themselves. If these people see a fat person and call them fat, if they show any and often natural movement towards weight gain, they will utterly destroy themselves with punishing self talk that they implicitly or explicitly expressed about the other person they deemed 'lower' than them. The cycle goes on and on. I've done this in the past and I must admit I tend to slip up, especially when I'm with other judgmental types - but nobody said changing the function and literal wiring of your brain was easy. It takes work and commitment. Try it next time you catch yourself judging others or yourself internally, try changing it into something positive and something that will help you or the other person. Give yourself and them the benefit of the doubt. Show some love and this may be hard, but trust me, it's going to feel awesome when you do it often enough and isn't that what you want, to feel awesome? To be the positive person in the room who lifts everyone else up and generates massive positivity. Come on people, let's make the effort and have better lives. Let's appreciate how difficult life can be, but also how frickin incredible it can be if our eyes are open to it. Peace, Rhodri.
