LIFE LESSON

 

Dear Friends,

JUST WAKE UP

The first rule to be successful in life is to always remember that  You are powerful. Dont underestimate your ability and talent.We  spend our time mostly ''imitating''  -  ie.,  just  repeating what we did the previous day and do tomorrow what we do to day..

We play roles covering up our true selves, identifying ourselves, with some of the  ''things''  defining us  who we think we are,  say,  I am a doctor, a salesperson, a secretary, a lawyer,  and say  I  am sad, sad, happy, lonely, or miserable,  angry, jealous, afraid, and I can’t help it—is it  who  I am?

The truth is, though, we are none of those things. They are symptoms of the sleep walking disease.   We are more important than any label. We are not  just  our  professions. We are not our feelings. We are not our circumstances. We are not  even our minds.

What we are is far greater, far superior, far more important, and far more mysterious than our conceptual mind tries to define. This is why we are far more powerful than we think we are.

We  should  start focusing on what’s really important to us. Let us not  go through life expecting things to change. Life becomes hard and unfair when we decide to complain about things rather than trying to change them ourselves.

Let us wake up to the truth that life is not a practice-run.Let us be  bold and courageous, and make decisions that benefit your growth. Put  yourself on your imaginary death-bed and realize that time stands still for no one. Start as soon as possible to make any necessary changes you may need to.

We create our outside reality by the thoughts and beliefs we maintain about life in general. What we believe in our inner world, we see in our outer world—not the other way around.

We all have problems, and we’re often tested by circumstances beyond our control.  Even  if we are unable to  control of what’s going on outside of us, we can  definitely control our reaction to those situations.We have the power because our inner world (cause) affects the influence we  allow the outer world (effect) to have on us.

When someone  mentions to you that  you have great personal power, you  should accept that they are 100% correct. You have more control than you think.
