The 21 Ultimate Rules of Gaia that i learnt in 20 years
1:Master your mind:
Your mind is designed to preserve you.Your mind will fight and work against you each time you try to step out of your comfort zone.Dont allow your mind to overpower you and prevent you from taking the necessary steps and risks required to achieve your dreams.
2:Don’t force things:
Friction is an element that produces heat, fire, cracks in a surface and most of all damage.
Don’t ever force anything in life.Fight to achieve, but do it with elegance, flow and consistency,Not force.
3:Never ever depend on other people emotionally:
Not everyone will accept you or love you.Not everyone will want to be your friend, not everyone will want you in their circles.Always leave room for disappointment. Don’t suck up to anyone, learn how to become your own best friend and enjoy your own company as much as you can without feeling lonely or afraid to face yourself.Use every second you get to spend alone to work and perfect yourself:Your skills, your gifts,to learn new things and most of all self love and accept yourself..
4:You cant save the world, but your efforts can make a difference:
The world is a broken place, humanity is a sad and damaged species searching for meaning in the void.But this does not mean humanity and the world are a hopeless cause.Give the world what you can, give humanity what you are capable of giving without self sacrifice and damage to yourself, and the little you give will always make a difference, no matter how small or insignificant.
5.Know your worth and don’t settle for less:
Learn to say NO and learn when to say yes.I have spent many years accepting everything, and everyone..now i choose to put my foot down and say No and yes only when i can.Harness the strength to clean up your life of toxic, negative people that try to pull you down and derail you from your goals in life.
6.Master your fear:
What are you afraid of…cross boundaries and beat the fear that tries to stop you from exploring the impossible.How can you know whats on the other side of the door if you don’t open it.
7.Time is not your enemy:
Keep working hard, remain disciplined and focused..ever keeping your eyes on the ultimate goal, disregard time, and don’t chase it or try to catch it, because time is not your enemy..Your ability to perform a task and complete it no matter how long it takes is all that matters.And if your tasks and goals take a very long time to reach or complete, for as long as your are consistent and ever reaching and ever pushing toward your ultimate goals, take heart in the comfort that slow and steady wins the race. Don’t allow people around to influence you into speeding through life in the name of status and reputation.Just do what you can and give it your all, and you will eventually reach the finish line.
But no matter how much you disregard time, never allow anybody to waste your time either.If you have a consistent workflow and daily and monthly goals set, don’t allow anybody to derail you from your goals or waste the minutes and hours you should be spending laying the foundation, bricks and mortar of your goals.
8.You are the only obstacle standing between you and success..
Your present, today now is self designed.Everything you did a month ago, a week ago,3 or more years ago everyday all led you to where you are today.I have learnt to take responsibility and accept today, embrace my past mistakes and work today toward a better future tomorrow because everything you are today is a result of what you were yesterday.Every seed you planted yesterdays, becomes today’s seedling.And all the amount of effort you put in nurturing your seedling will determine the type of plant you get.Will it be a strong tree with good sweet fruit, or a weak tree that conforms to the harshness of climatic change..its all up to you.
9.Evolution never stops…
We are ever evolving:Weeds grow effortlessly,Negative thoughts, doubt, depression are all easy to acquire....but success at anything requires effort..don’t ever give up…keep pushing, push until your body and mind cant take it anymore, and for each exertion you put on your mind and body:You will evolve and become that which you are moulding yourself into.Endure to the end because you are destined for success, if and only if you put in some effort.Evolution does not occur from a mere breeze alone — All elements of Fire,Earth,Water,Air and Spirit are involved.
10.There is a Hierarchy that every life form must follow:Humanity is no exception:
The hierarchy is no different from levels in a video game.You cannot get to the next level if you have not completed the other.But the only difference between life and a video game is that, the levels are randomly shuffled depending on where you stand today.If you are on top of a hill:You must either remain on top and get scorched by the sun as you wait for the rescue helicopter arriving in 3 months to take you to the next level…or glide to the bottom. But when you reach the bottom, only then do you realise how beautiful the view was from the top.Choose a level and get to its finish line…for each finish line crossed, is a new door stepped into full of new opportunities and fresh levels and lessons to learn from in order to keep advancing.
11.You cant change anybody:
When you attempt to change people, you are merely practicing the art of manipulation and control over another being.
12.Success is addictive:
One success always leads to another and another and another, because the moment you taste success, there is no going back.
13.Purpose is only discovered when you set life goals and work toward achieving them.
Write down your goals, come up with a strategy that is fluid and flexible and not fixed and strict, and use that ever changing strategy to achieve your goals.And as you work toward accomplishing each task set toward your ultimate goals, apply everything you learnt along the way to improve your strategy and complete your tasks by utilising the various lessons and tools your have learnt and picked up along the way.
14.How others treat you, is a reflection of the battles they are fighting on the inside:
Never allow these people to dam you down…if possible avoid these people and give them a chance to resolve their inner conflicts without using you as a punching bag.You are more valuable than a mere punching bag.
15.Never underestimate the ToDo List:
A daily to do list will push you closer to achieving your goals than a day lived in a random formation.
A ToDo list will teach you how to utilise the day well
A ToDo list will teach you how to be grateful for each task/goal achieved.
16.Gratitude is the ultimate element:
Be grateful, for all that you are and everything that you are.The universe will bend a knee and fight to open doors for someone who is grateful.
17.Money is power so great only a few can handle it:
If you want to attract money:You must respect the little money you have right now, this very moment, by not wasting it, but allowing it to flow in the right direction with purpose and not stagnating it.
Just as flowing water in all its purity is life,Stagnant water is rotten and deadly..stagnant money leads to poverty, misused and abused money leads to poverty..or a life long loop of work and earn with no signs of financial growth or independence on others.
Money demands respect.
18.The desire to sleep will always exist.
Make good use of your time while you are still young, and develop a routine that covers enough sleep to replenish your energies and afford you as much time as possible to work and accomplish your goals while you sill have the stamina.
19.We are all connected:
Every living being-Human and animal and nature are all connected.The butterfly effect is real and not a myth.Just as every action has a repercussion, a tree cut down affects a million creatures and the climate around it.The tears and sadness of a child affects all living things around it:Humans and animals alike.
A child abused yesterday has the potential of becoming the criminal that has killed millions of people today because of the actions of one irresponsible mother, one harsh school teacher or one school bully.
We are not perfect and sometimes we do things that hurt others unintentionally, but if we are more aware of our world and more knowledgeable of its inner working and understand life and the energies that coexist..we will know and feel it when we have caused pain and take the necessary actions to prevent the negative chain reactions of our interconnected actions.The rule of nature is simple-”If you understand the laws of the spirit, you will understand the laws of the physical”
20.Success is a choice
We are all born with free will.And it is this very free will that gives us the freedom to become whoever and whatever we choose to become.It is this very freewill that defines who we are and where we are in life.Free will means we have a choice to become whatever we want.It doesn't matter how far off the goal you want to achieve seems, or how tough it is to attain it..the idea behind achieving it, is to stop thinking about how hard it is or how impossible it seems and just do it.For it is through our actions that we practice free will.Success is therefore a choice:We have the choice/freewill to decide when to give up, when to not get up and when to take action and make a difference in our lives.
21.Share yourself with the world, don’t be selfish
Each and everyone of us has a gift or something that we can share with the world.It could your gift of art, singing, dancing, making music or simply your character, your smile, your beauty or your presence…these are all gifts you carry as a human being…Share your gifts, share YOU with the world and do not hold back.
Because each time you share your gifts and talents with the world, you plant a seed that flourishes into a tree that bears fruits which in turn replenish you for a lifetime.
Sharing your gift will touch many lives.Your music will bring joy and quench depression or bring people together.Your art will bring people closer to the beauty of imagination and the healing power of 5 seconds of silence as they behold the beauty of an art piece you created.
Your energy and presence will touch or heal hearts.
Share your gifts, but also learn the art of protecting yourself from the vultures that lurk in the dark waiting to take your ability to share your gift for granted.Life is a balancing act that requires not only balance, but strength, focus and most of all experience-which you gain with each passing day you are in it, living it and sharing you with the world.
