Chapter 1. Greet the future!
Expand opportunities, not reduce needs
ОглавлениеEveryone faces difficulties without exception. Whatever you do, difficulties will somehow persecute you all your life. There is no way to avoid difficulties. But you can learn to treat them correctly.
How do ordinary people treat difficulties? People avoid them. Try to ignore them. If you can not ignore, they reduce the need or run away from difficulties, like a mouse from a furious cat. But this is an incorrect approach. You can not escape from difficulties. You can change the work of any number, spouses, friends. You can change cities for your residence or country. But until you change inside, you will attract the same events, the same people. You can go to an uninhabited island and still there will face the same difficulties as before. Because the source of the difficulties lies within yourself, and not somewhere outside.
Perhaps you noticed that some people, not knowing how to realize themselves in the material world, go into the spiritual and begin to engage in spiritual practices. But what does it give to them? Nothing. If they could not realize themselves in the material world, they just can not be realized in the spiritual. Because both there and there you need to constantly work on yourself. Both there and there you need to strive for something and achieve something. Both there and there you need to be able to get along with people. And there, and there are the same difficulties! There is no point in running away from them. We need to learn how to overcome them!
The way you perceive the outside world – as hell or heaven, as a place of permanent scarcity or a source of abundance – determines ultimately how you feel about difficulties. If you believe that our world is hell, it needs to work hard to survive and there will not be enough for everyone, so you need to try to snatch your piece right now, without thinking about what will happen next, then you will inevitably attract to my mind a lot of problems. And any, even the smallest, difficulties will constantly press on you, confirming your “correctness” regarding the world order. But if you believe that our world is a paradise, where it is not necessary to work hard to live worthily and any resources will suffice for everyone with an abundance, then no difficulties will break you.
By and large, the world is an illusion formed by your own mind under the influence of surrounding circumstances. The world is just “that” just because you convinced yourself that he is like that. But you can choose in which world to live – in a world where everything is difficult or in a world where everything is easy. And you will certainly get evidence of what you believe. Because this is how the world works. Losers believe in failure, constantly looking for confirmation of their correctness and find what they are looking for. And successful people believe in success and that’s why they are successful!
How do successful people relate to difficulties? They do not escape from difficulties. They do not ignore them. They take them and transform them. Yes, difficulties sometimes piss off, make you worry, limit opportunities. But they, at the same time, help to become stronger, wiser and richer. Faced with difficulties, successful people ask themselves:
– Why did this happen?
– How can I change this?
– What can I do to prevent this from happening again?
Every difficulty becomes a lesson for successful people. Due to overcoming difficulties they grow and become stronger. Successful people do not run away from problems, but solve them. Successful people do not ignore difficulties, but transform them into useful lessons. Successful people do not go with the flow, but achieve success!
Learn to think like successful people! Believe in the best! Of course, you will not escape the difficulties. Objectively, they will remain and will remind you of yourself from time to time. But they will not bring you any problems! If you believe that the world is a source of problems, you will get them abundantly! But you can not do this! Believe that the world is the source of limitless possibilities! Believe that difficulties are useful lessons, thanks to which you can become stronger! Believe that you are born to win! Do not run away from problems – solve them. Do not reduce your needs, expand opportunities. Do not be content with the small, – dream about more! And most importantly, do not be afraid of anything, – act boldly and decisively!
