The Law
Revisiting - XV
In the last post I mentioned that a fundamental realisation that is necessary for abundance is that you are responsible for what happens to you and your destiny. What you are and where you are today is a result of the choices that you made in the past. The choices that you make today will determine what you will be and where you will be. You need to own responsibility for the choices that you make. You will do that when you make your own choices. You make take opinions from you mentors when yo make your choices, but the decision must be yours.
Yes, you may have been born into very difficult and challenging circumstances. Yes, hard times may befall you. And yes, you may have faced and will face lots of failures. While all these may be true, there is an irrevocable truth too; you are the one who will have to lift yourself; no one else is going to do it for you.
Check your thoughts. What is your first reaction when you see yourself in mirror? How comfortable are you with your self image? What do you need to do to improve your self image? Learn better public speaking, improve your physique, dress better and smart, develop a better posture, correct your stammering, learn to speak your mind, get better in your knowledge in current assignment? Assess for yourself and take corrective actions. In today's world, resources are available in plenty for personal development. A good self image is very essential.
Check your thoughts. How do you feel when you see a person with higher levels of abundance? Do you think and feel that you do not have enough - enough of money, intelligence, smartness, drive.......? Let us look at two aspects of such a thought process. Firstly when you think this way, at the back of your mind you are comparing yourself with others. Understand that you are unique as are the others. Comparing with others, if done for the purpose of learning, is fine else it serves no purpose. The second, and the most important implication of such a thought process is that you are yet to recognise that you are adequate. The difference between you and the other with higher abundance is that the other has put in more effort in getting better and better. You may be short in some areas in your chosen field. No one prevents you from burning mid night oil to get better. You may be physically not at your best. There are enough trainers available to put you on the right track. Identify the areas where you feel inadequate and start working on them. All that is required is willingness, laser sharp focus, effort and perseverance.
Check your thoughts. How confident are you with your decisions and judgments? The level of comfort that you feel in taking decisions depends on what meaning have you attached to the outcome of your past decisions. Understand that any action has two consequences - an outcome as per your desire or a great lesson. This is the only way of seeing the outcome. The moment you attach the word "failure" to an outcome which was not as per your desire, you attach negative feelings and associated shakiness in your decision making process. When you see a "failure" as a lesson, your whole perception of the decision making process changes. You become confident. Confidence also makes you listen to the hunches or the gut feels or intuition. The hunches do not just appear out of sky. They come from the infinite memory bank - your subconscious mind. The Reticular Activation System filters out all necessary information from your dormant memory connected to your area of focus and make them available to your conscious mind. Learn to listen to your hunches.
Your perception of an outcome build your confidence. Perception centred around success- failure option creates discomfort. Perception founded on success - lesson option creates confidence. Mistake is normal. Mistake is not the end of the world. Mistake is a teacher.
