Did
you know that we always have choices in our lives? And as for success,
there are two ways you can achieve it. You can either choose the hard
way, or you can choose the easy way. So which one will you choose? The
answer is obvious. But the problem is, many people can't see the easy
way to success, and they tend to do things the hard way. Most of us has
been told, from the moment we were born, that success requires hard
work. You must struggle and fight for success. Just like the saying
goes, 'no pain, no gain'. There are indeed some truth to this
statement, but the easy way to achieve success do exist.
Now, listen carefully, because this will be the turning point of how
your life going to change after I told you the secret. The secret is,
"Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at will
change". You must pay attention to these phrase, and find out what it
really means. Well, you may tell me, everybody knows about this, but I
can tell you what. I can sure that 80% of people do not really
understand what this phrase means.
So let me give you an example here, how changing the way you look at
things, can change the things you look at. If you ask some one about
this question, 'can I smoke when I'm praying?'. The answer is obviously
a no. But if you change the way you ask the question to 'can I pray
when I smoking?'. Mostly, the answer you will get is a yes. People may
answer you that you can do it because you should always keep praying at
every moment. However, the two questions will lead to the same result,
that is smoking and praying simultaneously.
So you see, you must know how to change the way how you look at things.
Always remember this, we have been conditioned that what we see with
our eyes are reality. But this is not true. The reality you see is not
real, it is only because you choose to observe it to be your reality. I
like this movie a lot, The Matrix. I'm sure you know about this movie.
The movie shows us that the real live we are living is not real, it is
because our mind had set to see it as real. Another example here, if
your watch and your friend's watch has a difference of 15 minutes,
who's watch is faster? Again, it is totally depends on how you look at
it. If you choose to believe that your friend's watch is slow, then
that will be the reality you are in.
Having said all that, I hope that you know how you can change the way
you look at things and hence the things you look at will change. You
can live a more happier live if you choose to see things positively.
And if this happens, then you can achieve much more in your life. To
Your Success.
