Climbing to the top of your life

I rest a lot when climbing mountains. When I can take a trip with some friends, the distance to the city and the outstanding issues is directly proportional to the rest we get. I do not go every week, just once a month.

But I will not speak of rest or excursions but tops ...
Parents always are considering how to educate their children. Like it or not, end up running into the freedom of their children who end up choosing their own destiny, because men are "gift and freedom", we're what we receive plus what we decide ...
I leave the issue of education for another day. Today I just want to talk about how to raise my own will ...

A 300 hp car has more power than a 150 hp but can be unused in the garage. So men, have a power which is the will, which is the ability we have of wanting (things, people, projects, goals ...) and get going towards these objects or subjects ...

How to use this power? Without a treaty, so just say:

1. The Will is greater the greater the objectives.

2. The will is STRONG when a person acts constantly.

3. Will is HEALTHY when not sick by drugs, alcohol, or any other slavery.

4. The will is FREE when intelligence is cultivated and can distinguish between good and better, the bad and the worse, etc., and whereas the person is responsible for his acts.

5. The will is GOOD when the person performs well.

How to educate your Will?

1. Recognize that you are not as strong, healthy, free and good ...

2. Apologize to God (if you believe) and / or those who are closest to you.

3. Check the meaning of your life and get high goals.

4. Find two examples: one close and another famous.

- Read the life of this celebrity. Though we're spiritual beings, we have also an animal body and therefore tend instinctively to IMITATION. Knowing the life and words of those people you admire, will take you by the hand to imitate them in your life.

- Looking for someone close can push you, say clearly what you do wrong and what you do well, tell you ONE improvement point each week. Talk to him every week for one reason: because you WANT to be better every day.

How to improve your communication (only a bit)

In the modern life it's not easy to read and apply developed models for improving yourself. Maybe you can read a long essay about a topic, but then what it's difficult is improving everything.

In education, teachers usually say that "if a student improves one thing, he also improves everything".

For improving your communication skills, you can enrich your vision (for example reading the article below), but afterwards you ought to choose one aim and to pursue it during two or three weeks:
- Share experiences.
-Give value to the things others tell you.
- Speaking calmly
- Listeninig more than speaking
- Being available
- Inspiring confidence
- Be polite in dealing
- Never correct in public
- Thank
- Say please
- Being understanding
- Give no sense of hurry

Please, read this article!

Managing yourself

Among all the orders and tasks you listen from your boss, colleagues in the workplace, family, governmente, and requirements from your friends, you can find a particular group that you could call NHA’s or “non-hurrying activities”.

If you’re apparently responsible, you love your family and friends or you try to maintain your job, it would be easy to take care about the short term and very important activities, but there are some tasks and errands that may request a special and non usual skill: managing yourself.

Once upon a time, a busy engineer were at home preparing for going to work. While he was finishing his breakfast, his wife told him “There is a gap between the gardenias and the geraniums in our plantpots”. He didn’t answered anything because he was worrying for not getting late at work and finishing a coffe. At last, he kissed her “I love you, Mary. We’ll see later”. Some minutes later in a red highlight he considered the “gap-in-the-plantpot breakfast sentence”, and took his mobile and added a new task: “buy some planted tulips”. –Until this moment, everything appoints to a very good engineer tale, but in every tale always there’s a witch…- The days , weeks and months were passing by, and the tulips never arrived to the largepot. The task written in the smartphone was lonely an sad scoring down in the priorities list while the engineer worked and did a lot of very good things. It’s sure that Mary never was angry with him about this item, but the question is: Does Peter love Mary? Does He manage himself? –I’m sorry I prefer the reader try to finish the tale-.

We all would like to manage all the entire activities that are over our responsibility, but there are activities no one expects us to do although they have asked us in a past time. But we can do them. We can better manage ourselves with a little extra training:

1. Buy an “agenda”, or detect if your smartphone has Calendar, taskslist and e-mail.
2. Don’t delay in writing the new errands in the taskslist, though they’re not very much important or urgent. Note the appointments in the calendar.
3. Review two times per day the calendar and the taskslist. Distribute the task along the gaps in your calendar.
4. Try to eliminate all the tasks in the list.

Don’t forget that “agenda” means in latin “Things are to be done”. It’s sure this analysis is quite simple, but have you tried walk up along these stair steps? I hope you buy tulips today or tomorrow!
