This is a very good piece of thought so read Carefully and relate it to your life >
Take a look at an apple tree.There might be five hundred apples on the tree and each apple has ten seeds .That's alot of seeds !
We might ask , " Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more apple trees ? "
Nature has something to teach us here . It is telling us :
" Not all seeds grow . In life , most seeds never grow".
So if you really want to make something happen, you had better try more than once."
This might mean :
- You will attend twenty interviews to get one job .
- You will interview 40 people to find one good employee
- You will talk to 50 people to sell one house, one car , one vaccum cleaner , one insurance policy , or a business idea
- And you might meet a hundred acquaintances just to find one special friend .
When we understand the " LAW OF THE SEED " , we don't get disappointed .
We stop feeling like victims but we will learn how to deal with things that happen to us .
Laws of nature are not things to take personally; We just need to understand them and work with them .
IN A NUTSHELL , Successful people fail more often , but they plant more seeds.
When things are beyond your control , here is something that you must NOT DO so as to avoid misery in your life :
-You must not decide how you think the world SHOULD be.
-You must not make rules for how everyone SHOULD behave.
Then , when the world doesn't obey your rules , you get angry !
-That's wat miserable people do !
On the other hand , lets say you expect that :
-Friends SHOULD return favors.
-People SHOULD appreciate you .
-Planes SHOULD arrive on time .
-Everyone SHOULD be honest
-Your husband or best friend SHOULD remember your birthday.
These expectations may sound reasonable . But often , these things won't happen ! So you end up frustrated and disappointed .
So , there is a better strategy : Demand less , and instead , have preferences !
For things that are beyond your control , tell yourself :
-"I would prefer this , but if that happens , it is OK too! "
This is really a change in mind thinking . It is a shift in attitude , and it gives you more peace of mind ...
You prefer that people are polite ...but when they are rude , it doesn't ruin your day .You prefer sunshine...but if it rains , it is OK too!
To become happier , we either need to :
a) Change the world , or
b) Change our thinking .
Absoluetly , it is easier to change our THINKING !
IN A NUTSHELL , it is not the problem that is the issue , but rather it is your attitude attending to the problem that is the problem . It is not also what happens to you that determines your happiness.
IT IS HOW YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU !
