Dr. Keith’s Thoughts
All stress is 100% self-induced. To change your life’s experience, first you have to acknowledge and take ownership of everything you are experiencing.
Humble yourself, be kind to yourself during this time, be open to going on a journey of self-discovery and become a student of you.
Realize you only have control over 3 things: What you think, say and do. No have zero control over anyone else or the outcome of anything. Learn how to surrender, let go and allow things to naturally unfold as the universe intended them to.
It is none of your business what other people think of you. There is only one you. Develop the strength and courage to be unapologetically and authentically you. None of us are meant to be liked by everyone.
Bruce Lee said, “Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.”
Nothing has power over us unless we choose to give it power. If someone hands you a glass of poison to drink, you don’t have to drink it. Don’t let someone live rent free in your head.
Everything is 100% neutral. It is only when we experienced something, we take it in, process it and then choose to paint it positive or negative. Take a step back and look at things objectively and symbolically.
Not everything we think bad happens to us is bad. What is the life lesson you are suppose to be learning from this experience? Look at this experience as an opportunity to grow your character and who you are. Our greatest rewards lie on the other side of our greatest challenges.
Every day, all we have is a series of moments all day long. Learn how to be 100% present from moment to moment. When you master this, you will be amazed at how much energy you will have at the end of the day.
Observe your thoughts like you would your posture. You can choose to not give power to negative thoughts. Simply acknowledge the thought and say thanks for sharing, moving on to the next thought without giving it any power.
The 6 inches between your ears can either be your greatest asset or your greatest liability. Master how to control your thoughts and use your mind. Don’t let your mind control you.
Your mind is a muscle. Just like we physically train our body to become stronger when we workout, our mind is no different. Become a student of you, educate yourself, understand how your mind works and then work towards strengthening your resolve to control your mind and thoughts.
Les Brown, motivational speaker, said, “ask for help, not because you are weak but because you want to remain strong.”
Steven Tyler, as a judge on American Idol, once said to a 13-year-old contest, “we are all just monkeys on the bus until we establish our uniqueness.”
Oscar Wilde, Irish poet/playwright said, “be yourself, everyone else is taken.”
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” - Mahatma Ghandi
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.”
— Marianne Williamson
Quoted by Nelson Mandela in his inaugural speech, 1994
