Hidden Pearls - Opportunities in Problems

Humans are different from animals mainly because of their ability to think. The thinking process and actions taken by individuals create the difference in the lives of two humans. An unsuccessful person claims the problems in his life as the main culprit, while a successful person would use same problems to get success and happiness in life. We see successful human beings in offices, society and markets. They are considered successful because of their achievements, money they possess, power they wield or confidence they radiate. Most people want to be like them and wish for their luck, without understanding the real difference between them and others.

The definition of success is different for every individual, some consider peace of mind as success for others money is important, some find more time with family as bliss while others want to travel. A successful life doesn’t mean the life with money and power but a satisfactory, happy and positive life. A person can be unsuccessful even after having all amenities of life and being surrounded by yes men.

Researchers have done extensive analysis to find the difference between successful and unsuccessful persons. Looking at all the aspects, the only difference which could be found is the perception of happenings in life. For an unsuccessful person life is full of negativities and problems. Every event is perceived in the most negative form, which put pressure on life and body. They get stress and are unable to think straight about the problem. Even for simple problems they are not able to find solutions and take actions. Even when opportunities arrive they are not able to get the benefits of them as they are too busy with their problems.

An unsuccessful person would look at all negative aspects of events in life while a successful person would look at the same events in completely different way, he would see all positives in it, and few people may even find opportunities in it. For a successful person all happenings in life are events. All facts of the event are analyzed and understood, which are then looked in positive and empowering ways. Even the extreme negative cases are viewed positively to get least affected by them, instead learn from those events. This habit of successful and happy people makes them optimistic in life, which allows them to take the maximum advantage of the situation to get success.

This book looks at some events of life and tries to view them in optimistic ways. I interacted with a large number of successful people to look for their secrets. In most of the cases I found the similar ways of perceiving the events of their life. These events are neither good nor bad; they are just events, open to an empowering or a negative perception. What we describe here are a number of events and right way of perceiving them.

The process of rightly perceiving any event is extremely simple, which would require a consciously created optimistic thinking process. Our mind tends to look at most of the happenings of life in passive ways. We need to train our mind with right statements and questions to feel positive and in control of the situation. This book covers a number of such events followed by empowering statements and questions to focus on the positive side of each event. This diversion of attention would help you to protect yourself from any harm which the event can cause, instead use it as a learning platform to make you successful in life.

Most of you would be familiar with these events, which are generally termed as problems. You can read them, one at a time, while grasping the thinking process of successful people. You can also use them during challenging times, understand the event and find ways to perceive them, rightly.
