Your Perception is the Key to Successful Living
Today, I was again for the millionth time surprised at how people pride on being right and staying miserable. What does it serve you for? There was this motivational video of a guy having his life transformed by asking for help from his father in the lowest point of his life. This was something he never wanted to do, but by doing it, he healed not only their relationship but enabled a new start for his family. And people are viewing this — oh, so we should all depend on reaching out to our well-off parents, is this the message? The message is way deeper than that. Not only did he pay off his father and has a loving relationship with him, he is succeeding in leading the way of life he always imagined and wanted for his family.
If you think of a homeless person with no money, is he truly lacking money or someone to believe in him, someone to lend a hand, someone to care? Are we all supposed to live in a vacuum space and succeed without anyone else? I don’t think such a person exists. Everyone needs people to believe in them and help them achieve more and live who they are. Live what they love. If you think you don’t need support and you would rather stay where you are, it’s ok. You can live like that as well. Just be aware it is your perception of who you are that is keeping you in place. It is the belief that wanting something else would somehow diminish your integrity. That is a belief someone wanted you to keep. Or your fear of doing something so out of your usual self that no one would believe you or they would reject you. Again a belief you picked up somewhere.
The Key is the question — what does it serve you for? To keep you safe and loved, warm and cosy? So you don’t have to do anything? So you can bitch about everything and everybody else? Now you get into defensive: you don’t know a thing about me, you don’t how I live, you don’t know my pain…. Oh, I know. Out of 7 billion people in the world are you the hungry, abandoned one? Are you pissing and living in dirt? Do you have something to give to the person next to you? Don’t make your life miserable for the sake of it. Don’t believe in people who are complaining all the time. They don’t know any better but you don’t have to believe them. What is your story? What is it that you are telling yourself? Is it really true? Who said that first? Was it is someone you know?
You say it sounds corny. Of course it’s corny. It’s whatever you want it to be. Get past your past. Get over the nagging. There are people out there who need your help.
