THE ILLUSION OF CHANGE
Statistic shows that we only replace a reality with a similar one
I did not see any credibility at all those people that the Universe sent in my life ...
to help me.
I had nothing to lose if i would follow the new way of being ... but i was also suffering of the “Sylvester Stallone Effect”. And just ... missed great changes!

The personal brand makes
the change easier to appear
I read few books written by Donald Trump.
In fact, probably ... i was reading all his books.
If you really want to know about success ... but not from people that studied it as a theoretical concept ... i believe Donald Trump is the greatest example of a person that can let you understand about the meaning of personal brand in creating an amazing success.
Trump is also a great actor that sees life as William Shakespeare saw it ... as a stage.
Trump always knew how to act.
He believes in the idea of the brand and easily understood that ... same as a company has a powerful brand ... in the same way a private person can create a powerful brand also that could help accomplished anything would want in life. For example ... when a musician is a name in the world of music ... or what we should call a brand ... that helps him a lot in his career.
I read books from the antique shop, that i paid 50 cents on them ... written by writers that i never heard about ... but excellent books.
I could name those books ... bestsellers and believe me the messages i read in there were more powerful as the messages read in books written by writers that were named ... great writers.
But all those books ... written by unknown writers ... did not had a brand behind and the truth is you can’t be a great writer without the brand ... or kind of a stamp ... of a great writer.
Trump is the one that explored the most the concept of personal brand.
He made a brand from his name.
All his companies has his name ... all his buildings has his name on them.
Everything he is involved in ... carries the name Trump.
And the value of his buildings are 70% bigger than similar buildings. When it is about selling the properties ... he sells 5 times easier as the competition.
Everything is based on the name of Trump.

Whatever he does ... having written the name Trump on that product ... creates bigger value.
And the truth is that the personal brand helps a lot for creating ... anything you want in life ... from simple things to important changes.
But the question is ... what is really behind a brand?! ... and what is a real powerful brand?!
See in the concept of a brand ... all your real intentions ... the positivity of having anything that you want to create or change into your actual life ... and you will be amazed of the power of what we call ... a brand.

The real change is about keeping the right balance in all areas of your life
There are so many rich people that lost themselves on the path of getting rich ....
and totally forget to be happy.
And i also met ordinary people that look to me so, so happy ... and i could not understand the reasons behind this happiness.
But after meditating and asking for the answer ... i finally understood that everything is related to our capacity of connecting to the present moment. Being rich can mean nothing for the inner soul. Being famous ... could also mean nothing.
We have so many dreams and we have this silly belief that the change ... getting all those dreams for real ... will make us happy ... but we don’t know to make the difference between our Ego and our soul. And the Ego will never connect to the soul.
The Ego wants to dominate everything means our lives ... even the inner self ....
but the happiness is not coming from the Ego, but from the soul.
We follow the path of the desires ... listening so much about what the Ego has to say ... and we forget to meditate and connect to the real us and ask ... if that is the right path?!
Probably ... real happy people ... the ones that wake up in the morning with the feeling of joy inside of them ... are the ones that keep the right balance in all areas of their lives.
And that might also mean ... keeping the right balance between the desires that comes from the Ego and the soul.
So i should say that ... following the path of desires ... does not mean that you are on the path of the correct change you really need. Just think about it ...

The definition of change.
Repeat after me: “I can be
whoever i want to be”
Imagine you could have a Holly Spirit and ask him to become whoever you want to become.
And what if the Holly Spirit would accomplish your dreams right away?!
How you would react?!
Would you embrace the change in a beautiful way?!
Would it be possible to meet this Holly Spirit in the real life?!
I believe today, being probably at the half of my life, that we can get in life whatever we will want to get ... but we need to believe.
And even if the Universe is sending us so many times different people to help us ... i think the Holly Spirit can be just ... the inner soul.
But you need to believe that you can become whoever you want to become ...
which basically means just to believe in yourself.
And i should say that if you really want the change in your life ... you should just daily repeat yourself “I can be whoever i want to be” ... till the day when you just understand that in life everything is related to the intensity of your power of believing.
And truth be told is that your inner self can become your Holly Spirit.
But you need to find yourself, believe in yourself ... connect to yourself ... and be in life your best version.
This is the only meaning of change .... to become a better self ... the best you
can probably be.
If you have this connection with the soul ... any kind of change will become a simple act ... same as changing you clothes, washing your teeth ... and any other ordinary thing from life.
The change is totally related to what you believe about yourself and if you dare to believe that you can be whoever you want to be ... that is going to happen.

You think that looking for a clone
... can be defined as change?!
Our lives are ruled by the statistic laws.
We always do ... what we’ve always did.
We care about about habits, about our addictions ... and we don’t really consider the change as a real option.
No matter how the past and the present moment looks like ... we prefer staying in that reality.
And even if the facts that we are living are negative ... even if we think at the change .... we don’t do anything to improve the situation.
Sometimes the Universe shows us the love that carries for our lives and comes with an event that totally changes everything.
We are taken out from the prison of negativity ... but we are sad about that.
We see the event in a dramatic way and can’t understand the reason behind that change.
We meditate ... seeing that everything looks so different .... and even if we think
of a better life ... we only attract a clone of the actual reality.
We fall in love with a person that is actually looking like the ex partner, we get rid of the addiction for drugs, but we start drinking alcohol of any kind etc etc.
We actually create similar realities with the ones that we had in the near past. The change is just replacing everything ... with a clone of what you had ... and once again the Universe is sending us the signs for nothing. We have no eyes to see.
We have no ears to hears.
And we really follow the statistics ... our own statistic .... and the change itself
becomes only an illusion.
In the end we only see that we exchanged a reality with a similar one.
... and there is no real change.

You can’t have the change
without discipline
I am not a fan of sports but i always wondered what is the importance of different sports in our lives.
... and also the importance of good coaching for both individual and collective sports.
Why should we bother to lose our time for this kind of things?!
I mean ... i know that it will help the body be in a good shape ... but what is the message behind the message when it comes about sports?! Well ... i believe the sport is teaching us the power of discipline.
Most of the CEO s and other kind of important leaders practiced martial arts.
You can search for the statistic about that and you will be amazed.
Vladimir Putin is still practicing martial arts ... even today.
And you have no chance in front of the idea of change ... if you don’t understand what discipline means.
Practicing a sport ... even if it is individual or collective ... means to follow certain rules ... to keep in mind the idea of focusing on an objective ... and never forget about those things during the process.
Sometimes the change can’t be done without coaching ... same as the ones that goes to the Olympics ... don’t do it without the help of a coach. The coaching is showing the path.
The sport itself is showing you the fact that you can’t get any good result without discipline.
The philosophy behind everything ... if you really can see that the sport is not only for your body, but for your mind also ... same philosophy can be applied in any kind of transformation you want for your life.
This is why any kind of sport will help us a lot in becoming the ones that we dream to become.
... and having the coaching, seeing the rules we need to following, never losing the focus ... will always keep us on the path of becoming the best version of ourselves.
