13.One of my students asked an amazing question,and I loved it so much that I want to share it with the entire IWT community.She asked my group of top-performing IWT readers-members of Ramit's Brain Trust-
what we'd learned from our parents and what we're GRATEFUL for.I included my response below.
![]() A few months ago we talked about beliefs we've had from childhood,many of them not so positive.I wanted to hear some more positive answers,so I presented this question. QUESTION:What is a specific lesson you've learned from your parents that you're grateful for? I realize that I am so grateful to my mother (far from perfect but REALLY unusual).She always goes exactly for what she wants to go for (aromatherapy,bowling,photography,getting her PhD,having a farm).I thought all women were like that but this isn't the case.

My response → | ![]() What a great question.Things I learned that I'm grateful for… -Value of working hard.Sitting at the table for hours practicing spelling-bee books and math homework. -Always open your house to anyone.Invite everyone over.My mom loves to make food for huge crowds,even if I call her 10minutes ahead of time and tell her I'm bringing 10friends over. -Cut costs mercilessly on things we couldn't afford (fancy clothes,cable TV,etc.) but spend extravagantly on things that mattered (anything education or sports-related). -So many more.Again,what a great question this is!

How to Find Yourself
Do you often feel lost?Do you think you are living somebody else's life?If yes,discover ways to find yourself by going through the following article.
(61)F
If you are thinking,"how to find yourself when you are lost?",then the first thing to do is to have a rest from everything-work,personal life and all worldly things.Give time to yourself to think why you seem lost.Is it because of over work?Is it because you are not leading a life that you want to?Or is it because you are not satisfied with the people or things around you?Try to find answers to these questions to determine the cause behind your restlessness.
(62)E
For once,instead of being the way others want you to be,be yourself.Look within and find yourself in you.Think about the things that you would want to do if you didn't have any family obligations or any money issues.Think about the kind of relationship you would want to be in,the place that you would like to stay in,the kind of lifestyle you would like to lead,if you didn't have the society or people around you,judging all the time.If you really want to know how to find inner peace,then think,what you would want others to describe you as-an honest person?Or adventurous?Or loving,or realistic?Once you look within,you will know the answer and then try to be exactly that.
(63)D
Thinking deeply about the past,the time or situations when you were the happiest,is another way to find yourself.Think what you were doing or with whom you were,when you were the happiest.This will help you to identify things that you want to do in life that make you happy and also certain people whose company you enjoy.
(64)C
Knowing yourself and determining what you to do with your life will not come to you in a day or two.Discovering oneself is an ongoing process and it can take months or sometimes even years to truly find yourself.So,it's important that you maintain a written record of all your feelings and thoughts,which you can go through at a later stage.Pour all your emotions and feelings about life in it and who knows may be one day going through it,you will find yourself.
(65)A
Once you have discovered what you want to do with your life,make a move for change and self improvement.Even if it means taking up small things such as dancing or painting,go ahead and do it.If you want a career change,plan and take steps so that it can take place smoothly.If you are stuck in a bad relationship and find yourself unable to mend it,break away.At the beginning,you may find yourself slightly unbalanced,but with time everything will be fine.
It is very important for you to truly find yourself,before it is too late.If you do not find yourself now,you will spend your life with somebody you do not even know.
A.Act B.Accept Yourself C.Maintain a Diary D.Reflect on the Past E.Focus on Yourself F.Give Yourself a break. |
