68 – The One Thing, Everything

BY STAN KONTOS

The One Thing, Everything

Questions are the Answer

Live in Peace and Joy

I have always believed in a “one thing, everything” life statement. It is like a compass in life. For many, this is referred to as a “Purpose Statement”, the purpose of one’s life, or it could be called “One’s Destiny”, the direction of one’s life and ultimate arrival.

If we do not have a compass to guide us, how will we know why we are on Earth and where we are heading? One of the greatest benefits, and there are many, of the current Covid-19 living restrictions, is we have more time to reflect on questions like: 

“Who am I?”

“Why am I here?”

“How can I add value?”

“Who will I ultimately become?”

“What does the Creator of the Universe want for me?”

Some other questions which can assist you to arrive at a purpose statement include, “What would I do if I knew I could not fail?” and, “If time and money were not an issue, what would I be doing with my life?”

This period of life is an excellent time in the history of humanity to reactivate the art of thinking. Thinking is the process of asking and answering questions. What you think about most of the time will be where your life moves toward and where you end up. I encourage you to invest some time in the art of thinking and discover what is the purpose of your life and who you will become. 

Here is a hint, as I have done this exercise with clients hundreds of times… everyone’s life purpose is always about discovering one’s gift and then giving their gift to others and to the world. 

Discover and give, and you will live in peace and joy all the days of your life. 

Live with passion, stay on your life purpose, and always be at peace.

67 – Learn to look back from the future

BY STAN KONTOS

One of the greatest “mind exercises” I learnt years ago was the ability to fast forward in one or two years, then look back in time, back to the present moment. By doing this, it always eliminates anxiety and unhelpful worry. 

If we do this exercise right now and look forward in two years time, we can see the world is now a much better place where everything is “open for business”. Scientists have now really understood the Coronavirus and we can understand, how contagious it really is, how it can be treated or prevented, how we could have reacted better in 2020, who should and should not worry about the virus, who is specifically at risk and how the conspiracy theories posted on social media are totally futile. 

The world lockdown is a historical event, just like previous, past events and now there are new issues appearing that we need to think about. At some stage, every issue or challenge passes, we all get the learnings, we move on and we prepare for the next challenge in life. 

So, if you ever have anxiety about a present event, just take your mind into the future and see the event passing and a new world in formation. Then you will be more present in the present, and less distracted with fear and worry. 

Live with passion, stay on your life purpose, and always be at peace.

66 – Believe It and Achieve It

BY STAN KONTOS

If you reflect upon every exciting and great goal you have ever achieved, it was because you opened your mind to possibilities. Then you began believing in these possibilities. Following this belief, you took action when you saw an opening that could lead you to your aspiration. And eventually you achieved this aspirational goal.

I want us all to begin in believing in a better world. My belief is if we each create a series of empowering beliefs, we will then take the actions necessary to bring this into our reality at the appropriate time, once it is right to do so and collectively humanity can restore the world.

Here are positive empowering beliefs we can all begin reflecting upon daily from today onwards:

  1. Thank you for our world and people’s lives being restored.
  2. Thank you for the many people walking the streets, eating in cafe’s, enjoying a beer at the pub, attending a sporting game, going to a festival, and singing with joy in a concert, karaoke bar, church or theatre event.
  3. Thank you for gyms, pilates studios, and health and beauty establishments being open.
  4. Thank you for once again being able to enjoy working with my colleagues and having a laugh and a coffee with them.
  5. Thank you for retail therapy and the buzz of a shopping experience.
  6. Thank you for the celebration of weddings, barbecues and parties.
  7. Thank you for full classes in schools and universities and for the many events they host for parents and teachers to enjoy watching the future of our nation rise.
  8. Thank you for safe travel both interstate and international and for holidays to rest and restore our soul.
  9. Thank you for our health being protected from pestilence so we can all enjoy the journey of reaching old age.
  10. Thank you for humanity being restored where people can safely shake hands, hug one another and enjoy genuine caring human touch.
  11. Thank you for the gift of freedom, a healthy life, love amongst our family, neighbours and friends, ample jobs for everyone and thank you for peace.
  12. Thank you for teaching us the gift of appreciation where we now realise even more how fortunate we are and for realising the importance of assisting others in our communities. As well as assisting those less fortunate in other parts of the world, so they too can have the good life that has been restored to us.

I encourage you to read this daily and to share it with your friends.

“Believe it and Achieve it”.

Live with passion, stay on your life purpose, and always be at peace.

65 – Be Anxious for Nothing

BY STAN KONTOS

Wouldn’t it be great to get rid of anxiety, anxious thoughts, angst, fear, stress and any fearful thoughts and emotions?  

I am sure at some stage in our life we have heard of the “flight and fight response”. In simplicity, the response of flight (fleeing, running away), or fight (to face it head on) was designed to protect us from extreme danger. It was never meant to be used on a daily basis because of a media story we read, or in reaction to what someone says. We are not meant to get any anxiety other than in life threatening situations. 

We are essentially meant to live without anxiety or fear, but instead, with a sense of power, love for self, others and the world, and with a sound mind that is always able to think straight. So how can we retrain ourselves to be “be anxious for nothing” people? We need to realise that life is too short to keep worrying about things that may never happen. We need to understand that stress in any form is unhealthy, unhelpful and unwanted by people who want to live a more abundant life.

Make a decision today that you will never let any media story, any person, or any event cause you stress, unless it is life threatening and you need to escape quickly or fight it off. Make a commitment that you will not allow emotions to cloud your mind by distorting your thoughts after you read the media item, speak to the said person, or experience an event. 

One of my very early advisors said to me, “Master your mind son. Learn to master your mind then you will have anything you want from life”. Yes, I know you will be thinking, “Easier said than done Stan!” I sympathise because yes, it sounds simple however it is not easy. It does require a lot of practice, however, when you arrive you will experience a self control that is quite profound and will allow you to prosper so much more in life. The secret is beginning today with a decision that you will become a, “Be Anxious For Nothing” person, and you will do whatever it takes to achieve this.   

Decisions come first and answers come second. Once you decide that you want to master fear and all its variances, you will have entered the royal road to lifelong personal development and it is on this road that the destination will appear for you.

Best of luck – all I can say is it is a wonderful journey, the journey of self mastery.

Live with passion, stay on your life purpose, and always be at peace.
