The important basics of life

One way to feel safer in a world that is becoming increasingly unsettled is to remind yourself of the most important basics of life. These four things are all you need in order to live life, express yourself and get your needs met. Everything else that you think you might need are not that essential…

Life

While you are living you are empowered. Others see you, hear you and they can touch you. You are physical presence on this earth and with that magnetic force comes a lot of power. You are in this physical world for a reason. Let go of fear and make the most of this ability you have to let others notice you as well as our power to influence others.

Voice

Your voice is there to communicate and express your wishes and your wants. You can have an opinion and you can ask for what you want. Your voice in unique to you. Don’t hide in the shadows, make the most of your voice and use it to improve your life and the world around you. It would be a waste not to.

Mind

The power house of you, the captain of the ship. Your mind is so incredibly powerful and it can help you to create the life you want. Positive thinking leads to a positive happy life – it is simple and it works. Your mind is in charge of how you interpret the world around you. Use it well, watch your thoughts and only believe the ones that work for you and keep you well, happy and coping with life.

Heart

Our hearts help us to feel connected to others and to feel that we belong. It enables us to be kind and compassionate and keep our feet on the ground.

You may feel you need money and possessions in order to survive in the world. Of course I am not naive enough to believe we can live without any money but it is worth challenging your ideas about what you really need to be safe. People who have been homeless and without a penny to spare have still been able to use the above four basics to help them get back on their feet. We are not as helpless as we think we are…

Focus on strengthening and valuing the above four basics and you’re on the right track to happiness and fulfillment.
