But where did these things come from? What we habitually do becomes part of who we are. If I shoot wedding photos for a living, I call myself a photographer. If I hate socializing, I call myself an introvert.
If I like eating waffles more than anything else in the world, I call myself a professional waffle-eater. So if our character traits come from our habits, where do our habits come from? Actions we repeat again and again because they are familiar. And where do those actions come from? And where do those decisions come from? Thoughts are the root of everything. We become what we habitually think about. Thoughts turn into decisions turn into actions turn into habits turn into who we are.
But who is in control of your thoughts? Sometimes it might not feel like it. So yes. You do have control.
But it starts with breaking habits. Because your mind is familiar with thinking these thoughts, and familiarity is what our biology runs to. That being said, what can you do to create this mindset of kindness, confidence, bravery, and grace? You can change the way you think… by changing the words in your head. Most of us think about ourselves in a negative light.
Love is the root of who you truly are. We were created by Love, created out of love, and created to love. Love inspires, uplifts, creates, expands, explodes. You cherish them, respect them, find joy in just being with them. What if you felt the same way about yourself? You would never call that person you love stupid or insecure or rude.
Being proud of yourself does NOT mean being prideful or arrogant. In fact, arrogance and ego are often a symptom of being insecure, not the reverse. When we feel threatened and exposed, we lash out with pride. But when we feel proud of ourselves? We feel secure, safe, and confident. It happens over time.
You choose to be YOU, regardless of what other people think. Teachers can be funny and kind of cool. November 5th, I am thankful for my character traits. My hard-working trait, my try to be amazing at things trait, my sweet trait, my fashion trait, and my smart trait, and my love trait. But I also am thankful for those who stick around when my bad traits come out like my sassiness, my moody trait, my sensitiveness, my grumpy trait, my angry trait over dumb things, and even my trying to be amazing at things trait because I always try to be perfect.
Thanks, friends, and family for sticking around. Arthur Bozikas has penned a memoir that is heart-breaking and gutsy, as well as being full of hope and gratitude. This book is guaranteed to lift up readers and have them believing in the resilience and transcendence of the human spirit, making it a must read for years to come. When reaching adolescence, most teenagers want more freedom, independence and control in their lives. For Arthur, it was the opposite, as he discovered that his lifespan would only last up to adulthood.
After becoming an adult, Arthur was waiting for his death. It was at the eleventh hour, at the age of twenty-one, when Arthur was introduced to a miracle treatment, but only after the damage of iron overload from all the blood transfusion was done to his body. Grateful to be given a chance to survive for a few more years, Arthur decided to do something with his life; to get married, buy a house and also to have children, knowing he had no prospect of any future for himself.
At the age of sixty, Arthur and his wife Helen celebrated their thirty-five-year marriage anniversary. Recently we caught up with Bozikas so we could learn more about this amazing human and very talented writer. Why was you story Iron Boy one that you felt you needed to share with the world? I promised myself if I made it to the age of 40 years old, I would put it all down in writing. I didn't know it will take me another twenty years to do it? When reading Iron Boy, the book struck me as a story on struggle, but more so about survival and endurance.
How has that challenges you faced growing up helped shape you as an individual today especially as it pertains to business and entrepreneurship? This is the first of its kind worldwide, from the prospective of a patients' point of view and not from a specialist or doctor. I wish I had something like Iron Boy when I was young and very afraid of my prospects! As a professional CEO for over twenty years, the challenges in business is that you need to equip yourself with the right information or you are dead in the water!
People with my condition now do have my book to prepare for the future because there is one and it's up to the individual to believe! Being married for 35 years is a huge accomplishment, what is the secret to your success that you can share with younger couples looking to hopefully have the same success in their marriages? I think if both couples feel like they can't wait to share a new idea with one another or are not prepared to go anywhere without their partner by their side, then this is the only secret that any younger couples must desire for a successful marriage!
These two examples will resolve all arguments that every couples get into a marriage too or later! From a life lesson perspective what are some of the key points that you hope others can take away from your story 'Iron Boy' and even more so what is something that you hope you leave behind to your children that you hope they can apply to their own lives? My children have been raised to see the person, and not the disability, that they have. I would like for a life lesson that the world can refer to us as "people first" regardless the disability one has.
People with a disability and not disabled people…always put "people" first. See the person and not the disability! How do you feel now? How is life after the 'miracle' treatment and is there any message that you would like to share with others who are struggling with the same challenges that you faced but that you are also facing here today?
I feel very grateful and life is wonderful for me and my family. Although health issue will continue to always be a big issue for me, I will deal with them each one at a time. The important thing is that young people worldwide with my condition can inspire others to do great things would something I would love to inspire!
Aging can make getting around much harder. Make sure your parents are safe in their own home by following these tips. There is going to come a time when your parents need a little help to safely live in their home. This is just an inevitable part of life.
The goal is to keep your parents as comfortable as possible while also knowing that they will be safe when alone. Luckily, it is fairly easy to make a few adjustments to the house that drastically improve its livability for seniors.
These are the four things you must do to help your parents create a safe home as they age. Poor eyesight, reduced hearing, and imbalance put older individuals at risk of falling while moving around the house.
Falling is actually the main cause for injured seniors. Since this is a dangerous problem, you need to remove all fall hazards from their house immediately.
Throw rugs, long cords, and old unused furniture all pose a huge risk. Make the house as open as possible. Walking up stairs puts a lot of stress on older bodies. They have to use all of their strength just to go up a flight of stairs. There is also a major injury risk if they fall while using the stairs. Avoid all of these dangers by adding a stair lift in the house. Stair lifts will safely go up and down the stairs whenever needed with absolutely no risk of injury.
The slippery surfaces in the bathroom make it one of the most dangerous rooms in the house for your older parents. There are several changes you need to make to ensure they stay safe. Put rubber mats inside and outside of the tub to prevent slipping. Add grab bars in the shower and next to the toilet. Understand first that I exist, and couple this reality that it is never about the person — only the opportunity.
To eradicate me from society, my potential victim must have the snap-back moment and embrace their vulnerability, which drives the desire to ask for help. Combine that with outside intervention, and my chances of success deteriorate almost immediately.
When the call is made, the trusted agent, fueled by the tools they have garnered over their lifetime, must take responsibility for the life of my potential victim. As unfortunate as it is, I will not stop until I am stopped. If you think you are invincible, you might be right, but when the opportunity presents itself, you must prove me wrong.
