What Are Your Wants!?

Introduction [as usual, skip if you don't give a hoot]
So, In this post I'm assuming you've at least looked at the two posts preceding it: Let Go of Doubts and, the post that began this venture, Control your Mind Quickly and Easily. If not, I would recommend that you at least skimmed through the content.

Anywho, now that we've gotten rid of those doubts [right?] and learned how to think for ourselves... what now? Don't worry because I have that part covered as well! In this post we are going to finally figure out EVERY want that we have. Without the knowledge of our OWN wants and knowing all of them, then we would surely be a slave to our own subconscious [or other people?].

It's alright if you think you know all your wants. Actually, this is completely normal. Usually most of your wants are carried out without really thinking about it, though the wants that need more thinking will be initiated and you'll notice eventually. For instance, ever walked into the bathroom to wash your hands or go take a shower, but you forget and just go to the toilet? This is your mind trying to assume that's why you came here and fulfilling the want of not peeing all over yourself [or worse].

Yes, you may quickly assume: Oh, I already know all my wants! Can't I just skip this crap? If you asked me, then I'd say NOPE. Why? Because you may THINK you know all of them, but you are obviously not AWARE of all of them. If you did you would also be aware of every single eye movement, every letter you read, and every movement that digests your food. Obviously, you don't know all of those because they are masked [quite happily] and fulfilled by your subconscious brain.

What are my wants?
Now we get to the good stuff. How do I figure out my wants? Here we go with some cool lists again! (:

• Think about it!
• Just because you think you want something doesn't mean you actually want it. Yeah yeah, this sounds all contradictory, but it's really not. Really! Think about if you actually want this. Think about if you actually want what you're thinking about. Think of the consequences. Think ahead like a smart person [cause you are!].
• Figure out your main goal
• This isn't necessarily required. Alright, I just lied to you, my friend. This is the most important thing in your LIFE! 
• If you want, say, to be a doctor... then think about if having unprotected sex with this girl is going to hurt that. Doctors need their patients to see them as 'Health'. Healthy people realize unprotected sex can cause a whole host of unwanted/unexpected consequences. Therefore, no. You don't want this. Sure, you may want it NOW, but there's plenty of girls in the world. Either buy a condom or suck it up.
• But think for YOURSELF that is the very first post for a reason. What do YOU want. What does [yournamehere] want? At your highest potential goal, would you do this? Think about it, my friend.
• WRITE IT DOWN!
• You'll eventually find that you have a pattern of wants. You should write this down. This is how you know what you want consistently. 
• Obviously everyone wants food, but do you want it a lot? Are you fat? Then correct it, assuming your highest potential you is skinny. [Honestly, I'd bet you're attractive just the way you are... but the media confuses us.]

Conclusions!

YES! YOU READ IT ALL.. Did you want to? Think about it. Really think about it before continuing.

 If you want to be a better person, then yes. Knowing your wants makes you a better you and I don't know anyone who wants to just get worse.

In the next post we'll talk about persevering through others' ideas of/for you. You are the most important person in your life. Remember that as you make decisions. Yes, you'll feel pressured. And you may even get manipulated into things you don't really want. Do you want to be manipulated the rest of your life?

That guy who writes the posts cause he likes your face,

Ace

p.s. [potty sutra?] Really think about things. Smart people are successful because they think about things. Thinking about things makes you smart. If you just let everyone do the thinking for you... Well, if you don't use it, you lose it. And being brainless and controlled does NOT equal smart [duh].

Let Go of Doubts!

Introduction [skip if you don't care]
So, in the post, I'll be assuming you read the post that frees you from thinking for others and lets you think for yourself! If not, you might want to skim through it HERE.

To begin letting go of those pesky doubts we should first understand why they are there. Doubts are are tips that we are disbelieving. They are there so when we don't believe in something, then we can let it go and work on something we truly believe in. It's kind of like our mind's bodyguard against things it doesn't want to do or trust.
Anything that isn't constant pleasure is probably going to lead to doubts. If we never learn to deal with aforementioned [means: previously said] doubts, then we will always let them lead us away from what we really want. Don't worry though! You can break down this doubtful block of stone and lead yourself into a whole new world of freedom. The useful destruction of unneeded doubts and liberation from them is such a mind-freeing expanse that is within' your reach!
Now that you understand why they are there and how leaving them in your dust can benefit you, let us work on exactly how we do that. If you're not ready now, then you'll never be!

Getting Rid of Doubts
Sure I could tell you about palm therapy or give you a huge list that you don't know what to do with, but I like to keep things simple and understandable. Shall we start with the most obvious? By the way, you can trust links I post. Just press the button on the very top right.

• Relax

• Honestly, I have no idea how this is overlooked so easily. Relaxation is the first thing you should try when attempting to slap those fears around.
• I do recommend meditation because it is simply the most relaxing thing [besides flat-out sleeping]. You can find ways to do that here. Let's say you have already tried that. Meditation isn't always easy and it takes time to develop. You want results now! As quickly and easily as possible!
• So try listening to music? I'm not talking about death metal or those sad sad country songs. In fact, completely ignore music that you usually listen to. Remember those relaxing piano pieces and orchestra music? They were popular for a REASON. What better way to wind down after a day of farming/praying/or slaughtering villagers than to listen to soothing music? Remember: You don't want music that has lyrics [for the most part] or that you know because you, most likely, have attached emotional meaning that isn't going to help you forget the relax.
• There are a plethora [means: excess] of useful relaxation techniques on this grand web of ours! All you have to do is search! 
• Be Aware Why They are There
• I've already touched upon this in the introduction, but I'm not talking about a definition for doubts or the 'scientific' reason doubts are there. I'm talking about your personal reasons why you have them. Ask yourself: Why is this doubt there? What can I do to overcome this? Is this really what I want?
• So, you don't know? You can't even answer the first question? Alright, don't worry. I got you, my friend. This might seem hard, but if you know if this is what you want, then find out how to overcome it. Then... DO IT! More often than not, if you don't know why it is there, then it's because someone else placed it in your head.
• Stop Rationalizing
• But but but: blah blah blah. This is rationalizing. It's making excuses for why or why you shouldn't do something. This can EASILY mess up all of your progress because you have a single 'but it's fine just this one time'. That one time turns in to procrastination as well.
• Let me give you an example. Let's say I'm trying to quit smoking [common in smokers, I hear]. 
• So I get through half the first day, but a friend offers me a cigarette. What do I do? I say to myself: 'Oh, I can smoke just this one and start again tomorrow!' Of course, you could. But what's inevitably [means: impossible to avoid] going to happen tomorrow as well? That's right: Someone else is going to offer you one or you'll see one and say the same thing. 'Oh, just this one'. This is what you should avoid AT ALL costs. You'll almost always regret it later. 
• Do NOT Fear Failure



See how happy he was? (:

• Ever hear of 'The only thing to fear is fear itself'? Theodore Roosevelt had a really good point. The only thing that's going to keep you from your success is the fear of failure. Sure, you may have failed once, twice, or even forty-two times. But who's counting? Just keep your eye on the goal at the end of the road.
• Of course you're going to fail. Don't set yourself up for disappointment. The real power is in persistence [means: not giving up]. Do you think people just HAPPEN to know how to do operate on brains? Do you really think Einstein just thought one day: Hey! E... equals... MC!... SQUARED!!! Be realistic, chump. You've gotta put some effort forth.

Now, absorb this information. Really UNDERSTAND it. Reading does not = understanding. You actually have to think it through and at least try to think of ways to apply it to your life.

Okay, WHAT NOW?

Looking for the next post in this 'series'? It has yet to come.

And that is the end of this post. I appreciate your continued effort at attempting to decipher my horrible writing. Really, I love you... a lot... Too much?

Let's try that again: THANK YOU FOR READING, IT MAKES ME HAPPY!

He who types a lot,

p.s. [passenger steamer?] I have a facebook. Be my friend? [see my eyes twinkle]

p.p.s [cause I like typing that?] If you find any errors, I'd love to hear about them. Really. :l

Control your Mind Quickly and Easily!

Introduction [skip if you don't care for those]

What better way begin to help those [I, included] self-helpers than to teach them how to REALLY control their mind? If you are like me, or were like me, or ever plan to not be like me, then read on!

You can control your mind, you can literally [I mean it!] do anything you want to do. Sure, you might think I'm just blowing steam to get your attention [cause your a clever one], but I'm NOT! My goal here is to help you get those reigns back! Sure, you could let your subconscious mind keep a hold of them, let other people tell you what you need to be doing, or even try to not have any thoughts. Is this really what you want though?

Essentially, this is a life that isn't yours. If you let your subconscious mind do what it wants: You are on autopilot. If you let people control you: you are a pet! If you try to tune everything out into nothing, you are basically just a paperweight. Do you really want to be any of that? I really hope not. Don't fret, though! I can help. All you have to do is keep those eyes flowing down the paragraphs.


What is holding you back?
I know how much you readers like lists to break things down into easily understood categories, so here we go. I'll start off with what we already know [or so I hope!].

• Letting your subconscious doing what it wants:
• This puts you on autopilot because the subconscious is working from OLD values and beliefs. These may not be yours anymore or these thoughts may not even have been yours in the first place. 
• Letting people control you:
• Have you ever wondered why dogs are so obedient? It's because they are CONTROLLED! They understand that this very well and work it to their advantage. Whereas humans do the same.
• Look at it this way: You're working a job from sun-up to sun-down. Why? Money! You're essentially selling your time for what the 'boss' thinks you are worth. Now, remember the dog? The dog is selling it's time [doing tricks for you] for money [treats]. The dog is fine and happy with this lifestyle. It can not make it outside of that and it knows this. This is exactly like you have been programmed to think. LET IT GO! You are a human and you are capable of finding your own way.
• Tuning everything out and living in a reality that isn't so real:
• All this does is take all those thoughts that separate you from being a dog and ignores them. That isn't reasonable! Use your head! This makes you essentially a paperweight for whatever you are sitting on. Is that really how you want to go through life?

There's many other ways for you to NOT be in control of your mind, but I think you get the point. Just look around you and ask yourself: Why am I doing this? Is this for me? How? Keep asking questions! Y'know how they say smart kids ask questions? The same is true for adults. Just because you asked them as a kid and you THINK you don't have to ask anymore does NOT mean you are done learning. Your mind is a muscle. Exercise it! It'll benefit you.

Alright, now that you've got this far [or scrolled down to the goodies], I believe I might be able to help you help yourself. Lists again? I think so.

How to control your mind [step 1]

• Think for YOURSELF!
• Let us put all the ways we think we got here aside and focus on BEING here. Are you spending your time pleasuring yourself [in the best ways?] and bettering yourself into the person you want to be? If you are like the general population, then you are not. 
• Stop letting other people tell you what to do and push you around! There's a line [however shallow the marking is] between being a push-over who does whatever everyone wants instead of what they want and then there's the other extreme. Being overly aggressive [like a small child] and taking everything from other people, completely disregarding them.
• Pushover help:   Try this for a change: Do what you want. Think about what you want. Is what you're doing what you want? Your wants are important too! In fact, they are, logically, the most important. If one of your wants is to fulfill the wants of others, then DO IT, but do not compromise your own wants to do this. Your wants are probably there because you want to better yourself and please yourself, but if you keep bettering other people and pleasing other people, then you won't ever accomplish ANYTHING! Let people call you selfish, but you know you are not. That's all that matters.
• Overly-Aggressive help: Hey, you know what? Yes, what you want is perfectly fine. BUT YOU HAVE TO EARN THINGS! This is the real world where things are not going to be brought to you constantly. You're an adult [or teenager?] and not a small child. It's okay, though. You never learned how to respect others [and it's benefits!]. That's completely fine! You're realizing that now! All you have to do is think about how you'd feel if someone did what you're doing [stealing for example] to you. You'd be downright annoyed and most likely pissed off to no end. You don't think other people have feelings either? Everyone does. Other people control them. You can too! Use empathy and self-control.
• However you got here [religion aside, please] you are here to keep bettering yourself. Whoever created us or brought us here [we got here somehow] would most likely want us to flourish in every way we know how. However, we hit a dead end and we give up. Just because you can't do it now does NOT mean you can't find other ways to do it! Find another route STOP LETTING YOURSELF BELIEVE YOU CAN'T DO IT JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE GIVEN UP!! Why did I capitalize that? Because I want you to remember!

Absorb the Information

I think I'll stop HERE because you need to absorb this information. Yeah yeah, I know you THINK you understand but try applying it to your own life and seeing if it helps. I bet you it will. Just give it a try.

Okay, so you don't think it will? Then at the very least, you've learned what you already know. Let your subconscious mind absorb this information. This is why people take breaks in between reading. Your subconscious mind learns from repetition of your thoughts and actions. If you want change, then you'll have to have the will to do it. 

But of course, I can't write forever [I could, actually, but my fingers would disintegrate]. I'll explain how to get rid of those doubts that you now have due to giving up in the past in my next post. IF YOU CAN'T DO IT, FIND OTHER WAYS TO DO SOMETHING IF WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS FAILING! All failure is doing is leading you farther down into I-can't-do-anything land. Yeah, I make up words.
