“The Next Day”

I began this post lamenting on the sorrows of what i have decided to call “The Next Day” the day after certain events in my life. For example, i was going to comment on how much more alone it felt after spending the weekend with so many good people. Comparing today with yesterday leads to no other conclusion… today i’m surrounded by myself hence i’m all alone.

However, just as i was looking up quotes that could back up my conclusions, i came across a quote that i had nearly forgotten.

“We will act consistently with our view of who we truly are, whether that view is accurate or not.”-Tony Robbins

Which brings up to another idea of “The Next Day” that i had not before considered. While I can remember all my “The Next Day”s as sad, i can also see that they mark the begining of some new thoughts, the development of new ideas.. They are the generators of many of the changes that are everyday living in my current life. This brings to light another quote.

“All personal breakthroughs being with a change in beliefs. So how do we change? The most effective way is to get your brain to associate massive pain to the old belief. You must feel deep in your gut that not only has this belief cost you pain in the past, but it’s costing you in the present and, ultimately, can only bring you pain in the future. Then you must associate tremendous pleasure to the idea of adopting a new, empowering belief.” -tony Robbins

Its funny how easily i forget these things… i already know it takes some great things to infuse some ideas into my head. Each day is a new challenge to get my mind and body to go into the direction i wish to go, instead of going to the places they are just used to going. Hopefully soon these ideas too will become everyday living for me, and some of the pains of my past will be just that.. my past.
