Hello friends. So here's some interesting thoughts i came across last time i was having a mush day.
Have you ever been sitting there day dreaming and thought of something truly glorious, only to have your bubble popped by realizing the daunting task before you necessary to complete this dream?
Well here's how you make it happen.
First off, you need a positive state of mind. How does one accomplish this? Just remember. "It's all about how you look at it." Everything in the human mind is based on perception and you can make anything in your mind anything you want it to be all by changing how you view it.
For example. let's say it's raining outside. If you look at it in the way of wanting to go outside and enjoy a walk in the sunshine. Sure it's gonna suck. But. That rain is going to water the plants, which will cause them to grow, give us fresh air to breathe, the wind it's sound, and beautiful scenery to enjoy. Not only this but it will feed the herbivores, and so on and so forth complete the circle of life. So while you might not be able to enjoy a walk in the sunshine on that particular day, that rain will ensure that each walk you take after that is a truly spectacular one.
While it's raining you'll also have a perfect opportunity to get some stuff done around inside the house like that basket of dirty laundry that's been sitting there the last few days that's beginning to make you wonder if you're monotub will be unnecessary.
Suddenly transforming the rain from a curse into a blessing.
Another perfect example is my job. i work at a large hardware store. I spend all day pushing carts up hill and in a 9 hour day i load an average (did the math) of 9 tons of stuff into peoples cars. While at the same time doing half of the lazy asses i work with's jobs for them. For this entire day i only get paid about 50 bucks. Which really sucks right?
But the way i look at it, i get to work out atleast 28 hours per week. I don't have to pay for a gym. I've lost a ton of weight, put on a ton of muscle, and can finally run a decent distance without collapsing on the ground. (i used to be a chubster)
Again, transforming a curse into a blessing.
Now, this skill will take awhile to master, but when you do have it mastered you will always find yourself surrounded by happy thoughts, and nothing will be able to get you down.
Moving on from that, how are you gonna end up living that day dream?
Well, your conscious mind is only about 10% of your thinking power. your subconscious being 90%. Thus, i like to say your conscious mind is like an ant and your subconscious like an elephant.
Now your elephant is constant and steady, and it will always head towards what's in your heart or what you truly believe.
Now your ant is riding around on this elephant and can only see a small part of what is going on as it's view is bouncing around and shifting.
So the trick is to gain control of your ant. You know who you are, you know what you can do, and you KNOW that you CAN do whatever you set your heart mind and soul to. It's not enough to just think it. you need to tell it to yourself every day, you need to KNOW that it is going to happen. You must believe it. Not to be confused with being over ambitious and cocky though.
And after you believe it. your elephant will walk towards it.
Typically jet air liners are off-course about 90% of the time. The way they get to their destination is from tiny little adjustments the pilots make as they fly along and encounter different winds and drafts and what not.
That is exactly what your elephant will do, and it will do it through the thousands of tiny decisions you make each day.
Your ant might forget, but your elephant sure wont. Put where you want to go in life in the center of your heart and as long as you always believe in yourself and never ever ever give up. You'll get there. you know how i know? because i believe you will. :P
PS: "It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop." - unknown.
6 years ago i had a dream. and i forgot about that dream. and it wasn't until recently that i realized that everything i have been doing the last 6 years. all these seemingly unrelated things have all been guiding me towards this end goal, this purpose.
This ideology has helped me in more ways than i can count and i hope it helps brighten all of your horizons as well!
You guys have a great day, may the sun always shine on you, and may you always find luck in the pursuit of all of your endeavors.
