Hooman's Story

How Do We Know If We Are Making The Right Choice?

Have you ever had the opportunity of a lifetime and you blew it? Have you ever ruined the best thing that ever happened to you? Did you ever let someone down that you really love? Did you ever ask yourself if something is worth the risk? The choices that we make in life will always determine the quality of our outcomes and experiences. The billion dollar question is, how do we know which way is right, or which way is wrong? If you knew the secret answer to every one of life’s questions, you would be the most famous person in the world. CEO’s of the biggest corporations would pay you millions, if not billions for that talent. Imagine if you could look into the future and be right 100% of the time. Imagine the headaches and heartbreaks you could avoid for you and the rest of the world. Do you know the power you could possess if you were always right? Too bad no one in the world has that power, because we are all created equal. As humans, we are born to make mistakes. There is even a song with these lyrics, “I’m only human, born to make mistakes.” Why are mistakes such a big part of our lives?

Mistakes are good when?

If you are anything like me, you have made some mistakes in your life. Yes, humans make mistakes, but making them is a good thing because you have an opportunity to make yourself better, because mistakes are just lessons learned. The key factor is learning from them so you don’t keep making the same ones. It is so important you develop a new outlook towards your mistakes because how you recover from your mistakes is what makes who you are. How you recover from your mistakes will determine what you are made of. It is an unacceptable disservice to yourself if you don’t learn from your mistakes. Mistakes are a part of life’s learning experience because they make you stronger, smarter, and better prepared for your future. Get excited about them because you are giving yourself a better outlook at your learning opportunity. What is done, is done. You have two options, its entirely up to you. Are you going to get excited because you are learning and you shouldn’t have that problem again? Or are you going to get all bent out of shape and make matters worse? How are you going to act when you make a mistake?

My horrible reaction?

Like I said before it is okay to make mistakes. Once I made a huge mistake that caused me to be so disappointed with myself that I couldn’t stop sabotaging everything I had worked so hard to achieve. Instead of my usual response to a challenge, I was slowly torturing myself with negative affirmations because I had turned into a reactor. Instead of responding to the opportunity to overcome my adversity, I had a horrible reaction to my problem. I went so deep in despair that I couldn’t even see the light of day. I was so hard on myself that I was constantly thinking, “I can’t believe this happened to me. “What Should I do? When will this end?” Where did all of my energy go? Why is all of this bad stuff happening to me? I can’t wait to hit rock bottom. When is rock bottom?” The reason I couldn’t wait until I hit rock bottom was because I knew that when you hit rock bottom, it only gets better from there. However, I wasn’t ready for rock bottom yet. What I didn’t keep saying to myself was, “Hooman, you are the creator of your life by controlling the quality of your thoughts. You are what you think. By thinking bad, you will feel bad. Hooman, it is impossible to feel bad when your thoughts are good. Go back to thinking you can do anything you want to Hooman. You are the creator of your outcomes, only you could be the navigator of your destiny.” I wish I would’ve told myself things like, “Hooman, It is time to stop feeling sorry for yourself. Get back up and do what you do best. It isn’t going to be easy Hooman, but that is why it is going to feel so awesome when you get it right” I wish I would’ve told myself, “Hooman, get off the ground and get back in the game. If you fall down again, it is okay because you are going to keep getting back up until you make it. Hooman, you can overcome anything you desire. Nothing can stop you unless you let it.” You see, I was the only person in the world who could decide which path I would ultimately take. Would I follow the yellow brick road and make all of my dreams come true? Would I cherish every moment of every day? Or would I weaken daily to my slow death as the killer of my spirit? Would I be the master of my own disaster? I was flying so high on my achievements that I never thought it would ever get rough for me. Life will give you shock and awe but that is when I should have responded to the opportunity by overcoming the challenges in front of me.

Passion Becomes Inspiration Bringing Motivation To Your Situation

The reason I didn’t always see how beautiful the landscape of my life was because of my outlook. My vision was so nasty because I was trying to find rock bottom and all my negativity was just killing my spirit slowly. How did I go from being an achiever, to being a non believer? After all of my years of being super motivated I had run out of gas. I always had the strongest beliefs in my abilities, that made me unstoppable as I passionately achieved what I set out to do. Passion is the gas that runs your life and I was empty of it. Your life should be an endless pursuit of massive passion. You must be addicted to passion, so your desire always stays on fire. Passion turns your inspiration into motivation. Your motivation is what empowers you to take action. I had run out of the passion when I needed it the most because I had the biggest challenge of my life and I was nowhere to be found. I had created a challenge for myself that was so big, that it just scared me into making excuses and feeling sorry for myself. This stripped me of my belief in my abilities to overcome anything that life threw at me. My life was going so good that I forgot to expect the unexpected. In the darkest days of my life, when I needed to use my inner inspiration to empower me, I got so scared that I forget how you overcome adversity. I had let the trials and tribulations of my journey demoralize my ambitions. We all have inspiration inside of us because we are all created equal. The level of our passion determines how we use the inspiration that is within all of us. You must ignite your burning desire with passion so it inspires you with motivation to take action. Do anything you can to stay as passionate as possible because passion will empower you to to keep moving forward whenever life tries to knock you down. Passion will get you back up so you can focus on overcoming life’s most difficult challenges. Go out there and make it look easy.
