Adaptation of Behavior
Just like in the story above, we all have to change our behavior in order to succeed in life. This ties in a little bit with my last post titled: Normal Is A Setting On A Dryer. If we are going to evolve, or grow in this life time, we have to make changes, small steps to work with the Universe around us. This also ties into the Law of Attraction.
Basically, the Law of Attraction states that thoughts are objects that interact with the Universe in order to bring change, to bring reality into existence. If we are always worrying, thinking about debt, etc, we'll get more of it. Instead, we have to visualize and make changes in our thought patterns on a regular basis in order to evolve and grow. Thought is the Holy Grail of the Universe. Thought is the True Power that emanates itself from within.
If I am to succeed in this world and make money, then I have to focus more and more on making money. I have to believe that making money is possible and that it will happen. It's that positive vibe that attracts like objects to us. If we think positive, we receive positive, if we think negative, we receive negative. It's not enough to just sit there and make a wish. Making wishes don't work. You have to always be striving for that wish to make it happen. You get what you are always thinking about, even if it is something you don't always want. This, is the Law of Attraction.
Making that Change
There are some things that I can do as well as you, that we all can benefit from. Meditation would be the first step in all success stories. If someone is successful, they are using meditation. Meditation is often misunderstood, or not taught correctly to many people. For many years, I myself have thought that meditation was the act of thinking about nothing, clearing your mind. Meditation can be thought of as merely a form of focus. Focusing on one thought and all the possibilities around it. Trying to connect the dots to that one issue and solving your problem. Meditation is also another form as well, don't think of it as thinking about nothing. If you think about nothing, you're still thinking about something. Instead, try thinking of the space between your thoughts. That empty space in your mind is the space you want to hold onto. That space where energy flows freely and exist to inspire.
Focus is one thing, but we can't have success without action. One of my favorite sayings now is this...Action Does Not Propel Itself Forward. In other words, we must put forth effort into our lives in order for us to achieve success, wealth, love, and our overall happiness.
Get Out There
It is my duty to put myself out there, after all, this is my journey, no one else'. No one can make my decisions for me, I have to make an effort, and get out there. If I don't, I'm just a failure that is making a living failing. If I'm making a living at all. Just like the story above, I have to change and evolve my writing, in order to land more jobs, to get better pay, and move myself forward. Writing is not the only thing I have to evolve, I have evolve by taking chances, expanding my talents, learning new things, and specializing in an area of life.
Many people wander through life not knowing what it is that makes them happy. The secret to happiness is that there is no secret. Do you really want to know what it is that you should do? I'll give you the biggest hint that you'll ever need. In fact, it's so simple, you might kick yourself for not coming up with the answers yourself. Ready for it?
Do what ever it is, that brings you the most happiness. Sure, a lot of things interest me, finding things that interest me is not the issue. People often say that they have so many things that they like, that they don't know which to choose. It should never be about which one to choose. It should always be about which one makes you the happiest. What makes me the happiest is seeing the world, all the old architecture, the different food, the different people, and all the goodness in it. That is what I will be striving for in 2014. That will be my vision. What is going to be your vision this year? How are you going to adapt your behavior this year?
