Blue Eyes Or Grey Eyes Part 1

Greetings Everyone, 

A paragraph in Charles Haanel’s book Master Key system chapter 27 caught my attention and I quote “blue eyes indicate a light, happy cheerful, active disposition. Grey eyes indicate a cool calculating, determined disposition. Black eyes indicate a quick, nervous, venturesome disposition. Brown eyes indicate sincerity, energy, and affection “

I’m a fast reader I don’t enjoy hovering over every word in a book, I usually skim thru the book to have an idea what point the author is trying to bring across.

Even novels, I enjoy having the thrill of the whole story rather than hover over each particular elaboration and descriptive point of the story that the author is trying to paint. 

When speaking about self-help books or business books if it catches my interest I usually go over the book a second time and knowing what to expect gives me the opportunity to delve in to the parts that interest me the most.

But this paragraph made my forehead crease in concentration is this so? are we all an open book and are our natures and destiny carved in stone?

But as I am well in to the journey of life, experience and reading has shown me that it’s up to us all, how to channel our emotions and natures. True that a lot of our circumstances in life we do not choose, since we have no choice to what parents we are born to, and to what society and upbringings we are exposed to, but here is the BIG BUT.

Let me pause for a second to expand my thoughts, I feel this is a discussion worth pursuing, since I have been struggling with this basic question a long time. Do I have a choice in the actions and direction I have been taking and can I change the direction I have been going. Even though I always believed and felt it in my inner self that I can change if I want to, but in actuality I didn’t see or feel it that way.

I think the thing that kept prompting me on even when facing constant failure was due in part of me being a dreamer, as long as I can remember since I have been a small child I have always dreamed of some goal or something great I wanted to achieve. The wanting for something better and bigger did not let me give in to failure and defeat.

I will leave this question open for you now what are your thoughts on this subject of will and choice, till my next blog that I will continue Part 2 of  what my view is, how and what, do we contribute to our success and is it up to us or not, because I believe that a great percentage of us struggle to some extent with this question.

So long till my continuation to Part 2.

Wishing you all the success.

Free But From Whom and The Danger of Freedom

Free But From Whom ?

We are all celebrating this special day of July 4, which we won our independence and freedom.

 Special days like birthdays and anniversaries,don't need a lot of thinking to appreciate what is special about them since they are part of our daily lives, but special days and holidays that we celebrate to something that happened a long time ago, then the holiday can only have a real meaning and appreciation if you give thought to what the day represents.

It pays to give a few minutes of thought on the meaning of the day or find some concept or lesson that can be applied to our daily lives.

I would like to expand on the concept of freedom on a different angle and that is, the Danger of Freedom. 

Yes the Danger of Freedom, as time goes by from when freedom has been won, and from what we had been freed from becomes more like a distant fuzz to a lot of us, and an uninterested fact to most of us. 

Since most people live in their own bubble trying to survive and cover their bills and expenses and leave some time to enjoy life to as well. That leaves the word freedom to each and everyone’s imagination and the line is a fine one.

Let me explain, everyone has a different interpretation of the word Freedom.

 A child for example, when hearing the word freedom will visualize it meaning freedom from all the rules his parent or teacher has required. 

 Teens will visualize freedom as acting and behaving as they feel not a care in the world.

A criminal in jail will visualize freedom as an actual definition, freedom of jail time, free of laws, free to steal and do as they please etc.

Now we all understand, that these interpretations of the word freedom are true but dangerous, 

since a child to grow to respectable and caring adult has to be brought up with certain rules to teach him discipline and good behaviors.

 A country that is run without laws and punishments after a short time will look like a war zone

In this time and age when a person accepts upon themselves to fight for a cause of freedom, 

a lot of thought has to be put in to determine if this is really about bringing freedom that will lead to success and to better humanity, 

or is it more like a child that wants their way, to satisfy their cravings but in the end will bring about ruin and destruction.

Breath in breath out, fill your lungs with fresh air that's free to all equally.

 I would like to share with you all as well, a beautiful Blog post from Barrie Davenport  from Live Bold and Bloom about Freedom and Independence Day. 

“When freedom is hindered, our natural instinct is to reclaim it. Without freedom we become angry, bitter, and depressed.

But here’s a strange irony.

Many of us who enjoy the larger freedoms in life have unwittingly enslaved ourselves in other ways. We’ve allowed ourselves to accept insidious forms of restraint and self-entrapment that create the same internal angst that arises with any loss of freedom.

Often we aren’t even aware of how we are giving up our freedom and thus causing ourselves unnecessary pain. Take a look at these 25 personal freedoms to see where you might be restraining yourself from living authentically.
