When I stared this blog, I was not as happy as now. Then I was able to find my goals in the Unites States. I am happier now. What have made me feel happier? Who guided me when I had no friends and no job, in despair, doubting my decision to live in the States?
God. Books to read. Music. Flowers. Tea. The sky.The most practical and concrete advice I could get was from Brian Tracy.
When I followed his book first then You tube, his blog and CDs. I found hopes, dreams and ways to get close there. I became more positive and optimistic, but sometimes become negative and pessimistic. But it’s natural. It’s Okay and natural but make the period as short as possible. I have learning this in the States. Japan is a great country but not a country where people feel happy in daily life. One of the reasons are we try to be perfect and find something missing all the time. I used to be good at finding faults and something missing.
The way of thinking has great influence on our mind and it affect our action. I have been suffering lower self esteem. I couldn’t think of failure and setbacks are process to success. Failure is the end of my life. I had tried to avoid those experiences and emotions. I refused to even try something which seemed to result in failure.
However Brian taught me how to overcome my old thinking and rabbit. He taught me I am my boss in my life. I am only person who is responsible for my life. Nothing can happen if I take action. Three phrases which helped me are:
I like myself. I can do it. Dream big.
