Default Prospective Approach to Things: Relating to Dream achieving and a Great Life

We make our own way and find peace with that. The main premise, and idea, behind obtaining both of these things we desperately strive for; it is the best wisdom and direction if your ever looking out to achieving desires. Many of the ways we are driven are from personal experiences (In a broad sense) or from fearful reasons. Whatever will push us 'over the edge' to get to where we want to go. My approach will consist of things that are universal to all of us, and if your desperate to reach for the unreachable, give these a try.
I'll give you the common courtesy to know what your reading before you absorb yourself in this essay:
~Human beings always don't listen to themselves, that should change.
~A cause above us should drive us, even if it is fictional character your playing.
~Building the strength of belief can change your life forever.
As of late, I have been in a bucket-full of doubt and curiosity. It all comes from the shift in school to the form of summer break. I am without things to do other than the occasional labor activities that sustain me. My regular schedule of studying three times a day, homework, and the actual trip of getting to campus was all stripped away from me. I resorted to games and movies to kill the time, and I felt it necessary to fix some insecurities of my own to help improve myself, most of which involving the tolerances to pain and method acting to express my body language better. The first game I played was Just Cause 2, than Mass Effect 2 and Bioshock 2. Plus I watched all of the first season of Battlestar Galactica in Blu-Ray. I must say, I have found something here.
We are uncomfortable with our selves, in the most meager of ways.. if these little problems could go away, it would make life and my goals much easier to obtain without the distraction.
The following is a proven-effective theory on fixing our personalities, AKA The Ego:
Our minds are wandering travelers, but they need to be contained once in a while if you ever want any kind of order in your life. We wonder, and sometimes those thoughts stick in our heads longer than they should. Sometimes, those thoughts leave something temporarily scarred, a particular emotion or relatable memory that links to this thought will be left behind. Our personality will reflect this new change through your daily life, mostly in your mind than through your social habits (like hesitations, new-found insecurities, etc.). But what is the ego scarring? What is it leaving it's mark on? In our inner peace; this the reason why relaxing feels so good. Everything seems to make sense; no speculation, no thought, nothing second guessing happens here. Think of it as the essence of relaxation.

(The Perfect Ego)
Our personality looks like this over our Ego.

All of these circles are your hatreds, likes, dislikes, and loves; the things that make you 'you'. Why our circle is so filled up and colored instead of a single blue is because life happened. We adapted, changed, and developed knowledge about our surrounding environment. Our skills, knowledge, and emotional attachment has masked our ego, peace feels hard to come by in a busy world, Savy? Aie a familiar tone we all heard of. Is there a way to obtain a measure of peace? Is it possible to live every other day like those moments were we don't have a care in the world? Is it possible to get rid of the unnecessary adaptations we developed through our life? Yes we can, and it can be a doozy I won't lie. It all begins with our thoughts.
(Black dot - Thought)

It begins outside our heads, than through our filtered ego.

For reference: If you've ever wondered why you can't seem to get a hold or control of thoughts, it's probably because you haven't come to terms with the nature of thoughts. Thoughts occur because our brain is active, and you have absolutely no control over it. This is a fact you must accept, the sooner the better. This is a fact and please try not to prove it wrong, you'll find out by the end of the week that you'll need a Lobotomy from over-active thinking. K, now the thoughts get magnified when we decide to take interest in them (or at least pay attention to them, in the slightest of degrees).

And this is what happens if we think about a thought long enough (which doesn't take long, if you felt an impact from it, it effected you).
(Thought is enlarged)

(Thought is now a scar)

If you are planning on fixing these circles, that you don't want any more 'unnecessary' problems, this is what you do. You simply ignore those thoughts. Thoughts pass through our head at a very fast rate, and if one of those thoughts enter your head that concerns you, you should really should try your best to ignore it so it'll just be inside and out of your head before you even know it. Like this:


Now, if you want to get rid of some of the existing circles in your personality/ego, your going to have to sustain a consistent effort in ignoring certain common thoughts relating to the thing you want to forget. Any circle in our ego cannot survive without thoughts. Thoughts are the fuel that drive our good and bad attributes that are located here. It varies from person to person, but its commonly said that after two-three weeks of doing this, that existing circle will be gone. I struggled with the idea that if I get rid of too many of these 'circles' I would be more like a robot than a human being. If you are having similar thoughts, please listen to this caption:
~A robot is a working entity that does not feel the impacts of the soul. A human being has feelings, and that they will always feel them even if they were to work much like a robot. The soul within us will deliver peace and greater imagination in places that are not clouded from personal anguish. As a robot will feel nothing once they get rid of a problem, only seeing it as one less maintenance issue to deal with. A robot is expendable and unspecial, you are a human being, a unique entity whos life span will be filled with emotion. You will always have a soul.
My summarization reflects the full article of my source. Click here if you want to read it entirely. It works.
