Life derivation: 4 ultimate states in life

The best place to drop by and write

On the way to my office, I'm listening to my favorite playlist on my phone: motivation. I always drown myself with positive and empowering motivation as I travel to not focus on the traffic. 

I always have fun looking at people's faces inside the jeepney, from passengers to drivers: stressed, bad mood, complaining. This is just one of those times that we have no control of. And to remain positive, listening and even learning can truly maximize this kind of down time. 

So going back, I have been studying about personal development and while listening to a new audio I downloaded, I was like BOOM! There it is: the four ultimate states of life and the secret to truly living your life.

These 4 ultimate states or feelings are love, joy, peace and gratitude. Not shocked? Yes, this may be common sense but how many people are truly living and having these as their goals? 

So instead of going to the office, I drop by a place where I can write and lay-out everything I have learnt so far. And so, I began doing life derivation. (sorry for the engineering jargon as derivation of formula has always been my favorite task during college days.) 

Derivation of life from happiness to happiness

It is stated that the law of attraction is the law to achieve anything you want in life. However, how do we activate it? As stated in my previous blog post, the law of attraction already existed in the Bible:

"What things soever I desire, when I PRAY, I believe that I have received them and I shall have them" (Mark 11:24)

So to activate the law of attraction, we need to pray. And then the steps in praying involve adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication. 

These steps put you on the state of love, peace, joy and gratitude. Thus to attract the things we want, we need to FEEL the feelings of love, peace, joy and gratitude. And let's sum them all up in one word: HAPPINESS. 

However, faith without action is dead. That is why it is not enough to just pray. We live in 4 realms: the emotional, spiritual, mental and the physical world. And to manifest whatsoever we desire, from the invisible to the visible world, we need to take action. action is the bridge. 

One of the actions that we can take is to set aside a certain percentage of our income for the satisfaction of all our aspects in life. We can use the money jar system to designate specific percentages to make sure all aspects of our lives are taken cared of.

10% - give fund for the spiritual realm (spiritual) 

10% - for personal freedom fund (physical)

10% - for education and personal growth fund (mental)

10% - for play fund (emotional)

Truly money can't buy happiness but is essential to satisfy all aspects in our lives. And from an engineering perspective, we can use the PDCA cycle. Plan-Do-Check-Act. To monitor our progress that is why we need to have the following: journals, books and photographs.

These journals, books and photographs represent how nourished our spiritual, mental and emotional well-being thus it manifests as an outside success for the physical and real world. And when all these realms are satisfied, and so are the following aspects of life:

1. Finance
2. Career
3. Relationships
4. Personal Growth
5. Fun and Leisure
6. Health
7. Contribution

You feel LOVED when you have good relationships with your loved-ones (relationships), with others (contribution) and with yourself (personal growth).
You feel PEACE of mind when you have a stable financial and career life (finance and career) and healthy lifestyle (health).
You feel in the state of GRATITUDE when you can afford the best things in life (finance) and share it with others (relationships and contribution).
And lastly, you feel JOY when you do the things you love (personal growth) and with others (fun and leisure).

And the more you feel all these states, the more you continue to activate the law of attraction. You see, in life: It all begins with love, peace, joy and gratitude and ends in love, peace, joy and gratitude. Those are the 4 ultimate states of life. To sum up: 

"In happiness it all begins, in happiness it all ends. Live life to the fullest"

Invest in your growth,
