The reason I like that question so much is that it forces you to recognize that your attitude has been shaped by real experiences you've had. Your not making up the things that have happend to you; they are real, and it's those things that to a large extent have shaped your current attitudes and beliefs.
But here is where it get's interesting. It's your current belifes and attitudes that will for the most part make up your future "real" events. When those future "real" events happen you will then be trained by them to a like attitude and so on. What this means is the better it gets the better it gets; but also the worse it gets the worse it gets. And this is an excellent example of what is called the "Law of Attraction".
So if you're wanting positive change in your life what should you do? The answer is to stop focusing on past or even present negative circumstances and direct your mind toward the way you want the future to be. Become a visionary. Speak about, look forward to, write about what you are wanting. Begin to retrain yourself from the perspective of your your imagination as opposed to your memory.
It seems like a tall order, but it's only a matter of practicing what you speak about and think about. Become obsessed with the future; and soon you will see the results, and the results will give you confidence, and you will be on your way!
I have heard the analogy comparing your paradigm or perception to a map. If you are in Chicago and trying to get to a specific destination a map of Chicago is neccessary. If the map is wrong,attitude, behavior or any other tool you might use to remain patient and calm will not get you to your destination. Those are secondary to the primary need of a good map. So if you want to see change in your life use the map that will get you there and utilize the tools or charcter that you have learned and developed.
ReplyDeleteBasically I'm saying I agree. I think most progress is slowed by old conditioned ways of thinking that most don't realize are even there.
