Description
Have you ever wondered why it is that numerous people seem to succeed at everything they decide to do, whilst others struggle through life never quite finding the success and fulfillment that in a sense is everyone’s right?
You may have done more than wonder. It may even be that you’ve felt envious of others’ successes … and begrudged them their fame, riches, large house, fast car or what ever. I must admit to having done my share of that when I was struggling and convincing myself that some had all the luck, whilst others had none.
But then I started to wonder whether they actually had endless luck … or something else. And I started to read up on the topic - autobiographies of successful people like Richard Branson and Robert T. Kiyosaki - and books on how to attain.
I learned something really interesting: the way we look at things makes all the distinction between achievement and non-achievement. If we see something as impossible it quickly becomes impossible, whereas if we start looking hard for possibilities these start presenting themselves. It’s a question of ‘I can if I think I can’, which may seem simplified - but then life is often simpler than we think!
Everything starts with a thought. Alexander Graham Bell could not have invented the phone without first thinking that such a device must be within the bounds of possibility. Likewise Sir Alexander Fleming, discoverer of penicillin, and that other famous Fleming - Ian, creator of 007 James Bond. Imagine how much poorer we’d all be without ‘phones, antibiotics and the super-spy whose antics both on the written page and our cinema and TV screens have held countless numbers enthralled!
And start imagining how you could enhance your situation by thinking distinctive thoughts. Instead of thinking ‘I wish I had his/her money, life style, private plane, island etc’ start thinking of all that you do have and counting your blessings. As you count them, perhaps - if applicable - beginning with your wellbeing, you’ll start to see that things could be a lot worse than they are and you can move on from there to develop an attitude of plenty rather than of lack.
I used to be forever focusing on what I couldn’t afford, rather than on what I could. One of my favorite expressions was ‘I can’t justify the cost of that’. Bit by bit I took myself in hand, developing a distinctive attitude and beginning to understand that I was making my own destiny. When I made a negative choice it was almost inevitable that there was a negative outcome, whereas when I erred on the side of the positive (thinking ‘I can’ instead of ‘I can’t’) the outcomes of my decisions began enhancing.
As these improved, so did my attitude - unless it all started with my attitude? Once I stopped focusing on lack and began permitting the flow of good things I found after a whilst that I lacked nothing.
I also found more to like about myself than I had found when I let envy color my perceptions. And the more I liked, the more I considered that absolutely anything is probable - which indeed it is, if you set out to be the greatest that you could be!
