Who Is in Charge of My LIFE?

These days, we're constantly feeling swamped with offers, ideas, and information that are trying to grab our attention. Ads and so-called "opportunities" are everywhere—on the streets, in our social media feeds, and on every screen we check out. This nonstop pressure can lead to stress, mental overload, and eventually burnout.

At some point, it begins to feel like we’ve lost control of our own time and attention. And something deep within us starts to crave inner silence.

Our mind is naturally peaceful, clear, and full of joy. Inner silence isn’t just about things being quiet—it’s about really being present and seeing the world clearly. But with today’s busy lifestyle, our minds get overloaded with multitasking, nonstop information, and always being on the go. This leaves us feeling tired, confused, and disconnected from ourselves.

The mind is kinda like a spoiled kid: it avoids anything uncomfortable, hates waiting, and just wants quick fun. The more we give in to it, the more it runs the show. Eventually, it starts to wear us down from the inside.

By following the desires of our mind, we gradually distance ourselves from our true selves. We may believe we are in control of our lives, but in reality, it's frequently our subconscious—molded by our surroundings—that dictates our actions, leaving us without control.

“True freedom is not doing whatever you want—it’s mastering your mind and desires.”— Rami Bleckt

Take a look around: ads, social media, TV shows, news, trends—it's all set up to influence how you think and grab your attention. If you don't understand that your mind is the source of both your problems and your liberation, you'll continue to live life on autopilot.

“If you don’t control your mind, someone else will.”— Vadim Tuneev

Awakening is not a magical spark or mystical moment; it is an intentional practice. It involves the ability to observe your own mind and is a journey back to yourself—reconnecting with your inner stillness and strength.

You are NOT your mind. You have the power to observe it and the ability to guide it.

Here are a few simple but powerful questions to ask yourself:

– Who is in control of my attention right now?

– Why do I think the way I do?

– Where do my desires come from?

– What do I feel when everything around me becomes quiet?

– When was the last time I just sat in silence?

Our inner struggles, fears, and pain are like waves on the mind's surface. The more we get caught up in the outside world, the tougher it is to catch that quiet inner voice.

The soul doesn’t shout—it whispers. To hear it, we need to first chill out our minds.

Starting to live consciously kicks off with one simple question:

Am I in charge of my thoughts, or is the world calling the shots?

So, how do we keep our awareness in a world that's always tugging us every which way?

Recognizing that many of our thoughts are shaped by external influences is a significant first step. So, what comes next?

Try These 3 Easy Steps to Wake Up Your Mind:

1. Take a pause. Give yourself some time off—not to squeeze in another task, but just to chill. If you don't slow down, you can't really tune into what's going on inside you.

2. Start observing. Being aware isn't about battling or taking charge—it's about just noticing. Pay attention to your thoughts, desires, and reactions. Just watch them without judging or trying to change anything for now.

“Mindfulness is when a pause appears between the trigger and your reaction.”— Rami Bleckt

3. Get back in touch with yourself. Slowly begin to notice:

- what your body is telling you

- your feelings and moods

- what truly matters to you

- your life's purpose and how you contribute to the world

When you're in tune with yourself, the craziness around you doesn't mess with your balance anymore. You start seeing life with a fresh perspective and deeper understanding.

To everyone reading this: Pay attention to what's happening in your mind. Gradually reclaim control. Live consciously. Live happily.

In this busy world, find those quiet moments to listen to yourself again. That's where you truly reconnect with who you are.
