12 Tough Truths that Help You Grow

It's been a long time since i've updated this blog and as i was surfing through the net, i found this masterpiece. Have a good time readers :)

1. Everything is as it should be.  It’s crazy how you always end up where you’re meant to be – how even the most tragic and stressful situations eventually teach you important lessons that you never dreamed you were going to learn.  Remember, oftentimes when things are falling apart, they are actually falling into place.
2. Not until you are lost in this world can you begin to find your true self.  Realizing you are lost is the first step to living the life you want.  The second step is leaving the life you don’t want.  Making a big life change is pretty scary.  But you know what’s even scarier?  Regret.  Vision without action is a daydream, and action without vision is a nightmare.  Your heart is free, have the courage to follow it.  Read Awaken the Giant Within.
3. It’s usually the deepest pain which empowers you to grow to your full potential.  It’s the scary, stressful choices that end up beingthe most worthwhile.  Without pain, there would be no change.  But remember, pain, just like everything in life, is meant to be learned from and then released.
4. One of the hardest decisions you will ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or take another step forward.  If you catch yourself in a cycle of trying to change someone, or defending yourself again someone who is trying to change you, walk away.  But if you are pursuing a dream, take another step.  And don’t forget that sometimes this step will involve modifying your dream, or planning a new one – it’s OK to change your mind or have more than one dream.
5. You have to take care of yourself first.  Before befriending others, you have to be your own friend.  Before correcting others, you have to correct yourself.  Before making others happy, you have to make yourself happy.  It’s not called selfishness, it’s called personal development.  Once you balance yourself, only then can you balance the world around you. Read Psycho-Cybernetics.
6. One of the greatest freedoms is truly not caring what everyone else thinks of you.  As long as you are worried about what others think of you, you are owned by them.  Only when you require no approval from outside yourself, can you own yourself.
7. You may need to be single for awhile before you realize that, although the co-owned belongings from your failed relationships might not have been divided equally, the issues that destroyed the relationships likely were.  For how can you stand confidently alone, or see the same issues arising in your newest relationship, and not realize which broken pieces belong to you?  Owning your issues, and dealing with them, will make you far happier in the long run, than owning anything else in this world.
8. The only thing you can absolutely control is how you react to things out of your control.  The more you can adapt to the situations in life, the more powerful your highs will be, and the more quickly you’ll be able to bounce back from the lows in your life.  Put most simply: being at peace means being in a state of complete acceptance of all that is, right here, right now.
9. Some people will lie to you.  Remember, an honest enemy is better than a friend who lies.  Pay less attention to what people say, and more attention to what they do.  Their actions will show you the truth, which will help you measure the true quality of your relationship in the long-term.
10. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never have enough.  If you are thankful for what you do have, you will end up having even more.  Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold; happiness dwells in the soul.  Abundance is not about how much you have, it’s how you feel about what you have.  When you take things for granted, your happiness gets taken away.  Read The Happiness Project.
11. Yes, you have failed in the past.  But don’t judge yourself by your past, you don’t live there anymore.  Just because you’re not where you want to be today doesn’t mean you won’t be there someday.  You can turn it all around in the blink of an eye by making a simple choice to stand back up – to try again, to love again, to live again, and to dream again.
12. Everything is going to be alright; maybe not today, but eventually.  There will be times when it seems like everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong.  And you might feel like you will be stuck in this rut forever, but you won’t.  Sure the sun stops shining sometimes, and you may get a huge thunderstorm or two, but eventually the sun will come out to shine.  Sometimes it’s just a matter of us staying as positive as possible in order to make it to see the sunshine break through the clouds again.

How To Ace an Interview

You go to a job interview in shorts, high five your interviewer and say something like this – “I am self-motivated.”

“That’s the one we want! She’s self-motivated!”

Right?

Not Hired Until Proven Able

No! Your interviewers have heard that so many times they could start a whole American Idol-esque auditions show. Your resume means nothing more than empty promises – they want evidence of your self-professed spontaneity. Did you introduce an elaborate initiative to save the seals? Tell them a little bit of how you saw a picture of a poor little seal on the internet and got everyone on board the program. Give them enough evidence to convince them of your proactive prowess, leaving out the part where your plans went bust for maximum impact.

Tip: Give examples of how you demonstrated the skills you put down on your resume. Try to skew to the needs of the company. You had better learn to speak their language if you want to impress them. Prior research will help you loads with this.

Bite-sized Awesomeness

Tell them how amazing you are, without being all peacocky. It’s hard with your amazing repertoire, but you’ll just have to give them bite-sized pieces of your magnificent tale, get the pun? (Wait, that only applies if you’re a male peacock. Oh well.) If you’ve written a resume beforehand, you would have identified your skill set and abilities that are unique to yourself. “I’ve managed a team of seal trainers and we got them to form a pyramid.”

Tip: Prepare a few of these short powerful statements that highlight your achievements. Be sure to back them up with examples if required, but don’t toot your own horn too much. These statements should help you stand out of the crowd.

Positudity

In your pursuit of pinnipedic utopia, remember not to be negative. No one likes a grumpy seal heroine. Put on your best attitude and resist the temptation to spit venomous remarks about your previous employer. They will see you doing the same about them in their minds’ eyes. Your body tells your interviewer a whole lot more than your words – clapping like a seal gives the impression that you really are into saving seals.

Tip: People don’t like negativity. Even if something was said about a different company, they will be wary to have you sparking negativity within their ranks. Body language is also important – show them how much you want the job. Watch how you speak and don’t slouch that backbone!

Turning Over A New Leaf

However, you don’t want to be untruthful in an interview. If the occasion arises where you’re asked about your weaknesses, don’t fret, and don’t lie. You don’t have to tell them that seals didn’t like it on our shores. Answer the question with confidence – they don’t want to know how you failed; they want to know how you’re going fix your sorry mess if, and when, you screw up in their company.

Tip: Interviewers appreciate that nobody is perfect, so don’t try to hide the fact that you’re not. Instead, embrace the question truthfully and explain how you’ve tried or are trying to rectify the problem. Try to give examples that are not directly related to the job you’re interviewing for.

Teach Me How to Dougie

The biggest mistake anyone can ever make is to go to a job interview unprepared, and then ask the most embarrassing question of all time – “What does your company do?” You might as well shoot yourself in the foot. Find out what your company stands for, and what they need, but please don’t commit to something you cannot do or demonstrate in the interview. Dress the part. Be on time. Learn about the interviewer if you can. Have a list of questions for the interviewer. Such preparation will go a long way.

Tip: Don’t ask questions like “what perks do I get?” Maybe after you get the job, but don’t risk it.
