<br />
<br />
Ada seorang gadis menyewa rumah, bersebelahan dengan kontrakan rumah seorang ibu miskin dengan 2 anak.
<br />
Suatu malam tiba2 listrik padam. Dengan bantuan cahaya handphone gadis itu ke dapur untuk mengambil lilin. Tiba2 terdengar ada yg mengetuk pintu. Ternyata seorang anak miskin yg di sebelah rumahnya.
<br />
<br />
Anak itu bertanya dgn risau: " Kak, ada lilin tidak..?"
<br />
Gadis itu berfikir sejenak. Di benaknya tertanam kata 'JANGAN PINJAMKAN!' nanti mereka akan kebiasaan untuk terus2an meminta.
<br />
Maka si gadis menjawab: "TIDAK ADA..!"
<br />
Lalu si anak miskin berkata riang, "Saya sudah duga kakak tidak ada lilin.. Ini ada 2 lilin saya bawakan untuk kakak.. Kami khawatir karena kakak tinggal sendirian dan tidak ada lilin."
<br />
Si gadis merasa sangat bersalah. Dalam linangan air mata, dia memeluk anak kecil itu erat2.
<br />
<br />
<b>"Jangan menilai atau berprasangka buruk terhadap orang lain hanya karena mereka terlihat miskin atau tidak mampu."
</b><br />
<br />
<b>"Kekayaan tidak bergantung kepada seberapa banyak harta yang kita punya, tetapi seberapa kita mampu untuk berbagi kepada mereka yg tidak mampu."
</b><br />
<br />
Miskin bukan berarti tidak punya apa-apa dan kaya bukan berarti punya segalanya.
<br />
<br />
Mungkin hari ini kita diatas tanah, tapi esok lusa tanah pasti di atas kita<br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Ada seorang dermawan yang dari atas gedung menebar uang pecahan: <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Rp. 5.000,- <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Rp. 10.000,- <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Rp. 20.000,- <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Rp. 50.000,- <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Rp. 100.000,- <br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Di bawah gedung, berkerumun banyak orang yang sibuk.

<br />
Seekor ikan bertanya kepada kura-kura :
<br />
"Mengapa setiap kali kamu mengalami masalah selalu bersembunyi, masuk ke dalam cangkangmu...?"
<br />
<br />
Kura-kura menjawab :
<br />
"Apa penting pertanyaan itu aku jawab ?"
<br />
<br />
Ikan berkata :
<br />
"Semua mahluk di perairan ini mempertanyakan sifat-mu yang selalu bersembunyi jika ada masalah!"
<br />
<br />
Kura-kura berkata :
<br />
"Komentar orang lain.. Apakah itu penting...?
<br />
Aku tidak menghindar,
<br />
Aku tidak lari dari kenyataan,
<br />
Aku hanya mencari suasana yang lebih damai di dalam cangkangku."
<br />
<br />
Ikan bertanya lagi :
<br />
"Tetapi apakah kamu tidak peduli selalu jadi bahan pembicaraan?"
<br />
<br />
Kura-kura menjawab :
<br />
"Inilah alasan mengapa aku lebih panjang umur dari pada kalian.
<br />
Kalian terlalu sibuk mengurusi kehidupanku sampai kalian lupa siapa diri kalian,
<br />
Kalian terlalu sibuk memperhatikan diriku sampai kalian lupa siapa diri kalian."
<br />
<br />
"Dalam hidup ini kita sendiri yang menentukan pilihan.
<br />
Berbuatlah yang terbaik dan biarkanlah orang lain mau berkomentar apapun."
<br />
<br />
"Orang yang menyukaimu tetap akan membenarkanmu sekalipun kamu keliru."
<br />
"Sebaliknya orang yang membencimu selalu akan menyalahkanmu sekalipun kamu benar."
<br />
<br />
"Berapa banyak waktumu terbuang hanya untuk mengurusi kehidupan orang lain, sehingga kamu lupa pada dirimu sendiri kapan harus makan dan istirahat."
<br />
<br />
"Sayangi dirimu dengan lebih peduli pada urusanmu sendiri. Sebab engkau akan menjadi orang yang selalu kekurangan saat kamu selalu ingin tau urusan orang lain."
<br />
<br />
Sebaiknya kita tidak terkecoh dengan apa yang orang lain katakan.
<br />
Jadilah diri kita sendiri,
<br />
Jadi-lah pribadi yang baik....
<br />
Dan terus meneruslah berbuat baik 🙏🙏🙏

<span style="font-size: 19.08px;">As a group of frogs were traveling through the woods, two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs crowded around the pit and saw how deep it was, they told the two frogs that they're was no hope left for them.</span></div>
<div style="background: rgb(255 , 255 , 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; color: rgb(102 , 102 , 102); font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 19.08px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
However, the two frogs decided to ignore what the others were saying and they proceeded to<strong style="background: transparent; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; font-size: 19.08px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> try and jump out of the pit</strong>. Despite their efforts, the group of frogs at the top of he pit were still saying that they should just give up. That they would never make it out.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="background: rgb(255 , 255 , 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; color: rgb(102 , 102 , 102); font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Eventually, one of the frogs took heed to what the others were saying and he gave up, falling down to his death. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255 , 255 , 255); border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; color: rgb(102 , 102 , 102); font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 19.08px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, <strong style="background: transparent; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; font-size: 19.08px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">"Did you not hear us?"</strong></div>

The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought <strong style="background: transparent; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; font-size: 19.08px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://thelife.com/19-ways-to-encourage-others" style="border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; color: rgb(172 , 77 , 249);">they were encouraging him</a></strong> the entire time.</div>

<strong style="background: transparent; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; font-size: 19.08px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Moral of the story:</strong> <a href="http://everydaypowerblog.com/2014/03/16/rumi-quotes/" style="border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; color: rgb(172 , 77 , 249);">People's words</a> can have a big effect on other's lives. Think about what you say before it comes out of your mouth. It might just be the difference between life and death.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
✌Disebuah rumah sederhana yang asri, tinggal sepasang suami istri yang sudah memasuki usia senja.
<br />
Pasangan ini dikaruniai dua orang anak yang telah dewasa dan memiliki kehidupan sendiri yang mapan.
<br />
<br />
💢Sang suami merupakan seorang pensiunan sedangkan istrinya seorang ibu rumah tangga.
<br />
Suami istri ini lebih memilih untuk tetap tinggal dirumah, mereka menolak ketika putra-putri mereka menawarkan untuk ikut pindah bersama mereka.
<br />
<br />
💢Jadilah mereka, sepasang suami istri yang hampir renta itu menghabiskan waktu mereka yang tersisa dirumah yang telah menjadi saksi berjuta peristiwa dalam keluarga itu.
<br />
<br />
💢Suatu senja ba'da Isya disebuah masjid tak jauh dari rumah mereka, sang istri tidak menemukan sandal yang dikenakannya ke masjid tadi.
<br />
Saat sibuk mencari, suaminya datang menghampiri seraya bertanya mesra : "Kenapa Bu?"
<br />
Istrinya menoleh sambil menjawab "Sandal Ibu tidak ketemu Pak".
<br />
"Ya sudah pakai ini saja" kata suaminya sambil menyodorkan sandal yang dipakainya.
<br />
Walau agak ragu sang istri tetap memakai sandal itu dengan berat hati.
<br />
<br />
💢Menuruti perkataan suaminya adalah kebiasaannya.
<br />
Jarang sekali ia membantah apa yang dikatakan oleh sang suami.
<br />
Mengerti kegundahan istrinya, sang suami mengeratkan genggaman pada tangan istrinya.
<br />
<br />
💢"Bagaimanapun usahaku untuk ber terima kasih pada kaki istriku yang telah menopang hidupku selama puluhan tahun itu, takkan pernah setimpal terhadap apa yang telah dilakukannya".
<br />
<br />
💢Kaki yang selalu berlari kecil membukakan pintu untuk-ku saat aku pulang kerja,
<br />
<br />
💢Kaki yang telah mengantar anak-anak-ku ke sekolah tanpa kenal lelah, serta kaki yang menyusuri berbagai tempat mencari berbagai kebutuhanku dan anak-anakku".
<br />
<br />
💢Sang istri memandang suaminya sambil tersenyum dengan tulus dan merekapun mengarahkan langkah menuju rumah tempat bahagia bersama….
<br />
<br />
💢Karena usia yang telah lanjut dan penyakit diabetes yang dideritanya, sang istri mulai mangalami gangguan penglihatan.
<br />
Saat ia kesulitan merapikan kukunya, sang suami dengan lembut mengambil gunting kuku dari tangan istrinya.
<br />
Jari-jari yang mulai keriput itu dalam genggamannya mulai dirapikan dan setelah selesai sang suami mencium jari-jari itu dengan lembut dan bergumam :
<br />
"Terima kasih ya Bu ".
<br />
"Tidak, Ibu yang seharusnya berterima kasih sama Bapak, telah membantu memotong kuku Ibu" tukas sang istri tersipu malu.
<br />
<br />
💢"Terimakasih untuk semua pekerjaan luar biasa yang belum tentu sanggup aku lakukan.
<br />
Aku takjub betapa luar biasanya Ibu. Aku tahu semua takkan terbalas sampai kapanpun" kata suaminya tulus.
<br />
<br />
💢Dua titik bening menggantung disudut mata sang istri ......
<br />
"Bapak kok bicara begitu?
<br />
Ibu senang atas semuanya Pak, apa yang telah kita lalui bersama adalah sesuatu yang luar biasa.
<br />
Ibu selalu bersyukur atas semua yang dilimpahkan pada keluarga kita, baik ataupun buruk.
<br />
Semuanya dapat kita hadapi bersama."
<br />
<br />
💢Hari Jum'at yang cerah setelah beberapa hari hujan.
<br />
Siang itu sang suami bersiap hendak menunaikan ibadah Shalat Jum'at,
<br />
Setelah berpamitan pada sang istri, ia menoleh sekali lagi pada sang istri menatap tepat pada matanya sebelum akhirnya melangkah pergi.
<br />
Tak ada tanda yang tak biasa di mata dan perasaan sang istri hingga saat beberapa orang mengetuk pintu membawa kabar yang tak pernah diduganya.
<br />
<br />
✌Ternyata siang itu sang suami tercinta telah menyelesaikan perjalanannya di dunia.
<br />
Ia telah pulang menghadap Sang Penciptanya ketika sedang menjalankan ibadah Shalat Jum'at, tepatnya saat duduk membaca Tasyahud Akhir.
<br />
<br />
Masih dalam posisi duduk sempurna dengan telunjuk kearah Kiblat, ia menghadap Yang Maha Kuasa.
<br />
"Innaa Lillaahi Wainnaa ilaihi Rooji'uun"
<br />
<br />
💢"Subhanallah.... sungguh akhir perjalanan hidup yang indah" demikian gumam para jama'ah setelah menyadari ternyata dia telah tiada di akhir shalat Jum'at....
<br />
<br />
Sang istri terbayang tatapan terakhir suaminya saat mau berangkat ke masjid.
<br />
Terselip tanya dalam hatinya, mungkinkah itu sebagai tanda perpisahan pengganti ucapan "Selamat Tinggal"....
<br />
Ataukah suaminya khawatir meninggalkannya sendiri didunia ini. Ada gundah menggelayut dihati sang istri, Walau masih ada anak-anak yang akan mengurusnya,<br />
<br />
💢Tapi kehilangan suami yang telah didampinginya selama puluhan tahun cukup membuatnya terguncang. Namun ia tidak mengurangi sedikitpun keikhlasan dihatinya yang bisa menghambat perjalanan sang suami menghadap Sang Khalik.
<br />
<br />
Dalam do'a dia selalu memohon kekuatan agar dapat bertahan dan juga memohon agar suaminya ditempatkan pada tempat yang layak.
<br />
<br />
💢Tak lama setelah kepergian suaminya, sang istri bermimpi bertemu dengan suaminya.
<br />
Dengan wajah yang cerah sang suami menghampiri istrinya dan menyisir rambut sang istri dengan lembut.
<br />
"Apa yang Bapak lakukan?' tanya istrinya senang bercampur bingung.
<br />
"Ibu harus kelihatan cantik, kita akan melakukan perjalanan panjang.
<br />
» Bapak tidak bisa tanpa Ibu, bahkan setelah kehidupan didunia ini berakhir sekalipun.
<br />
» Bapak selalu butuh Ibu.
<br />
» Saat disuruh memilih pendamping Bapak bingung, kemudian bilang pendampingnya tertinggal, Bapakpun mohon izin untuk menjemput Ibu."
<br />
<br />
💢Istrinya menangis sebelum akhirnya berkata :
<br />
"Ibu ikhlas Bapak pergi, tapi Ibu juga tidak bisa bohong kalau Ibu takut sekali tinggal sendirian....
<br />
Kalau ada kesempatan mendampingi Bapak sekali lagi dan untuk selamanya tentu saja tidak akan Ibu sia-siakan."
<br />
Sang istri mengakhiri tangisannya dan menggantinya dengan senyuman.
<br />
<br />
💝Senyuman indah dalam tidur panjang selamanya….
<br />
هُنَّ لِبَاسٌ لَّكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لِبَاسٌ لَّهُنَّ

<br /></div>
<i>“Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.”</i><br />
Spanish Proverb<br />
<br />
<i>“How soon ‘not now’ becomes ‘never’.”</i><br />
Martin Luther<br />
<br />
<i>“A year from now you may wish you had started today.”</i><br />
Karen Lamb<br />
<br />
One of the most common problems is procrastination. We know what we want to do and should do. But still we end up spending hours upon hours doing “easier” work or escaping via TV, blogs or music.<br />
<br />
Now, nothing wrong with a little escape from time to time. But if you procrastinate too much you will not get the most important things done. And you will also send yourself into negative spirals where your self-esteem plummets and you spend your days or more in a vague negative funk.<br />
<br />
So what can you do? Here are 7 timeless tips to help you to stop procrastinating and start living your life more fully. And if you want to then you can learn much more about becoming more productive, focused and minimizing stress in my training kit The Art of Relaxed Productivity.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">1. Stop thinking. Start doing.</span></b><br />
<br />
<i>“To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing.”</i><br />
Eva Young<br />
<br />
A bit of planning can certainly help you to achieve what you want to achieve. A lot of planning and thinking tends to have the opposite effect.<br />
<br />
You think and think and try to come up with “the perfect plan”. A plan where you don’t have to make mistakes, where you will never be rejected, where there will be no pain or difficulties. Such a thing does of course not exist. But as long as you work on that plan you can protect yourself.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">2. Don’t blow a task out of proportion.</span></b><br />
<br />
<i>“If you want to make an easy job seem mighty hard, just keep putting off doing it.”</i><br />
Olin Miller<br />
<br />
<i>”Putting off an easy thing makes it hard. Putting off a hard thing makes it impossible.”</i><br />
George Claude Lorimer<br />
<br />
By over thinking and putting things off you are not only trying to protect yourself from pain. You also make mountains out of molehills. The quotes above are so true it isn’t even funny. The more hours and days you put something off the worse it grows in your mind.<br />
<br />
Because you are dwelling on it. And so it expands in your mind. And since you are putting it off you are probably thinking about it in a negative way. This makes a little thing a big Godzilla, a horrible beast that is threatening to ruin your life.<br />
<br />
So plan a little and then take action.<br />
<br />
Often you don’t even have to plan, you have been there before and you know what needs to be done. So stop thinking and just do it no matter how you feel and what you think. How you feel right now changes as quickly as the weather so it’s not the perfect guidance system or anything. And you don’t have to obey what it says (it’s not chains made of iron). You can just do what you know is right anyway.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">3. Just take the first step.</span></b><br />
<br />
<i>“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”</i><br />
Martin Luther King, Jr.<br />
<br />
When you start to look too far into the future any task or project can seem close to impossible. And so you shut down because you become overwhelmed and start surfing the internet aimlessly instead. That is one of the reasons why it is good to plan for the future but then to shift your focus back to today and the present moment.<br />
<br />
Then you just focus on taking the first step today. That is all you need to focus on, nothing else. By taking the first step you change you mental state from resistant to “hey, I’m doing this, cool”. You put yourself in state where you become more positive and open, a state where you may not be enthusiastic about taking the next step after this first one but you are at least accepting it. And so you can take the next step. And the next one after that.<br />
<br />
The thing is, you can’t see the whole staircase anyway and it will shift and reveal itself along the way. That’s why the best of plans tend to fall apart at least a bit as you start to put it into action. You discover that your map of reality doesn’t look like reality.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">4. Start with the hardest task of your day.</span></b><br />
<br />
<i>“Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves.”</i><br />
Dale Carnegie<br />
<br />
Maybe you have an important call to make that you also fear might be uncomfortable. Maybe you know you have gotten behind on answering your emails and have big pile to dig into. Maybe you have the last five pages of your paper to finish.<br />
<br />
Whatever it may be, get it out of your way the first thing you do.<br />
<br />
If you start your day this way you will feel relieved. You feel relaxed and good about yourself. And the rest of the day – and your to-do list – tends to feel a lot lighter and easier to move through. It’s amazing what difference this one action makes.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">5. Just make a decision. Any decision.</span></b><br />
<br />
<i>“In a moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing to do, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”</i><br />
Theodore Roosevelt<br />
<br />
We feel bad when we sit on our hands and don’t take action because it’s unnatural. The natural thing is to be a decisive human and take action.<br />
<br />
When you procrastinate you want to do something but you don’t take the action that is in alignment with that thought. You become conflicted within.<br />
<br />
What you do always sends signals back to you about who you are. Sure, doing affirmations where you say to yourself that you are confident can help you. But taking the confident actions you want to take over and over again is what really builds your self confidence and a self-image of you being a confident person. When you procrastinate you lower your self esteem and send signals back to yourself that you are a ,well, a kinda lame and indecisive person.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">6. Face your fear.</span></b><br />
<br />
<i>“Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the “someday I’ll” philosophy.”</i><br />
Denis Waitley<br />
<br />
I think this is true. It’s easier to live on that “someday…” thought. It’s harder to just take action. To risk looking like a fool. To make mistakes, stumble and not avoid that pain. To take responsibility for your own life.<br />
<br />
The easier choice can come with a sense of comfort, with a certain level of success, pangs of regret for all the things you never dared to do and a vague sense of being unfulfilled. You wonder about what would have happened if you had taken more action and more chances.<br />
<br />
The harder choice gives you, well, who knows? But it will sure make your feel more alive.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">7. Finish it.</span></b><br />
<br />
<i>“Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task”</i><br />
William James<br />
<br />
<i>“Much of the stress that people feel doesn’t come from having too much to do. It comes from not finishing what they started.”</i><br />
David Allen<br />
<br />
Not taking the first step to start accomplishing something can make you feel bad. But not finishing what you have started can also leave you in a sort of negative funk. You feel fatigued or stressed and sometimes you don’t even know why. It’s like someone zapped your inner power.<br />
<br />
If that is the case, go over tasks and projects what you are currently involved in. Is there something there you know you want to finish but haven’t yet? Try to get that finished as soon as you can you will start to feel a whole lot better.<br />
<br />
Just be careful. Don’t think you have to finish everything you started. If a book sucks, read something else. Using this as an excuse to quit something that feels hard or unfamiliar is not a good idea. But there is no law that says that everything has to be completed.<br />

<br />
There lived a lonely old man in the village. In the evenings the local boys used to play close to his house. The games were accompanied with loud cries.<br />
<br />
The old man was done with it, so one evening he invited the boys into his house. He told them how much he likes listening to loud children voices, and promised to give each of them a dollar if they promise to come again tomorrow.<br />
<br />
The boys came and played even more cheerfully and loudly. The old man paid them and promised to pay again the next time.<br />
<br />
But the next evening instead of one dollar, the boys got 50 cents.<br />
<br />
On the third evening the old man paid them only 10 cents and explained that he’s running out of money.<br />
<br />
– Dear children, – he asked, – would you agree to come again tomorrow and just play?<br />
<br />
Extremely disappointed, the boys said that they won’t come anymore. Is it worth losing so much energy for free?tyasjetrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10516290271862791192noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891393954216420889.post-43118988115363613562015-09-10T23:51:00.002+07:002015-09-10T23:51:42.498+07:00The Hedgehog<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?"<br />
<br />
"Hold on a minute", Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."<br />
<br />
"Triple filter?"<br />
<br />
"That's right", Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. That's why I call it the triple filter test.<br />
<br />
The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"<br />
<br />
"No,",the man said, "Actually I just heard about it and ..."<br />
<br />
"All right", said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not.<br />
<br />
Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?"<br />
<br />
"No, on the contrary."<br />
<br />
"So", Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're not certain it's true. You may still pass the test though, because there's one filter left.<br />
<br />
The third is filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?"<br />
<br />
"No, not really."<br />
<br />
"Well", concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?"<br />
<br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gY4XIU73H4A/VH5gcjZd3hI/AAAAAAAAB_I/qh0J_JOEIug/s1600/carrrot.png" imageanchor="1" title="The Carrot, The Egg, and The Coffee Bean" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gY4XIU73H4A/VH5gcjZd3hI/AAAAAAAAB_I/qh0J_JOEIug/s1600/carrrot.png" height="231" title="carrot egg coffee" width="400" /></a></div>
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that, as one problem was solved, a new one arose.<br />
<br />
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In the first, she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans.<br />
<br />
She let them sit and boil, without saying a word. In about twenty minutes, she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me, what do you see?"<br />
<br />
"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," the young woman replied. The mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. She then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, she asked her to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?"<br />
<br />
Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity - boiling water - but each reacted differently.<br />
<br />
The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak.<br />
The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But, after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.<br />
The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.<br />
<br />
"Which one are you?" the mother asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?" Think of this: Which one am I?<br />
Am I the carrot that seems strong but, with pain and adversity, do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?<br />
Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit but, after a death, a breakup, or a financial hardship, does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and a hardened heart?<br />
Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor.<br />
<br />
If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hours are the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?<br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y_CCxvy4j4o/U9yHsbaVwxI/AAAAAAAAB7g/BfcIW6JuQfM/s1600/blackandwhite+pebbles.jpg" imageanchor="1" title="Thinking Out of the Box" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y_CCxvy4j4o/U9yHsbaVwxI/AAAAAAAAB7g/BfcIW6JuQfM/s1600/blackandwhite+pebbles.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Many hundreds of years ago in a small Italian town, a merchant had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to the moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the merchant's beautiful daughter so he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the merchant's debt if he could marry the daughter. Both the merchant and his daughter were horrified by the proposal.<br />
<br />
The moneylender told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty bag. The girl would then have to pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked the black pebble, she would become the moneylender's wife and her father's debt would be forgiven. If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.<br />
<br />
They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the merchant's garden. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick her pebble from the bag.<br />
<br />
What would you have done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you have told her? Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:<br />
<br />
1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.<br />
2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the moneylender as a cheat.<br />
3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment.<br />
<br />
The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral and logical thinking.<br />
The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.<br />
<br />
"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked." Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the moneylender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an advantageous one.<br />
<br />
MORAL OF THE STORY: Most complex problems do have a solution, sometimes we have to think about them in a different way.tyasjetrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10516290271862791192noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6891393954216420889.post-63344154555438634292014-03-23T08:08:00.000+07:002014-03-23T08:08:08.477+07:00Reaction vs. Response<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h2 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" uiertitle="">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 36px;">She started screaming out of fear. With panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started doing jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group got cranky to what was happening. The lady finally managed to push the cockroach to another lady in the group. </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal; line-height: 36px;">Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama. </span></h2>
<h2 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" uiertitle="">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 36px;">The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter. The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt. When he was confident enough, </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal; line-height: 36px;">he grabbed and threw it out with his fingers.</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal; line-height: 36px;"><br /></span></div>
<h2 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" uiertitle="">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 36px;">Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behavior? If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed? He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos.<i> It is not the cockroach, but the inability of the ladies to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed the ladies</i>.</span></span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 36px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<h2 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" uiertitle="">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 36px;">I realized even in my case then , it is not the shouting of my father or my boss that disturbs me, but its my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me.</span></span></h2>
<h2 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" uiertitle="">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 36px;">It’s not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me.</span></span></h2>
<h2 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" uiertitle="">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 36px;">More than the problem, it’s my reaction to the problem that hurts me.</span></span></h2>
<h2 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" uiertitle="">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 36px;">Lessons learnt from the story:</span></span></h2>
<h2 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" uiertitle="">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 36px;">I understood, I should not react in life. I should always respond.</span></span></h2>
<h2 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" uiertitle="">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 36px;">The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded.</span></span></h2>
<h2 style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" uiertitle="">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 36px;">Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always intellectual...</span></span></h2>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to the baker.
One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting a pound
and he found that he was not. This angered him and he took the farmer to court. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The farmer replied,
amour Honor, I am primitive. I don't have a proper measure, but I do have a
scale." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The judge asked, "Then how do you weigh the butter?" </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The
farmer replied "Your Honor, long before the baker started buying butter
from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day when the
baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in
butter. If anyone is to be blamed, it is the baker."</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: 12px;">What
is the moral of the story?</span><b> We get back in life what we give to others</b><span style="font-size: 12px;">. Whenever
you take an action, ask yourself this question: Am I giving fair value for the
wages or money I hope to make? Honesty and dishonesty become a habit. Some
people practice dishonesty and can lie with a straight face. Others lie so much
that they don't even know what the truth is anymore. But who are they
deceiving? Themselves.</span></span><span style="font-size: 12px;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PY-CxUVvdYc/UyD_QLbL_BI/AAAAAAAABvc/M9DUqCHFEsU/s1600/helping-climber.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PY-CxUVvdYc/UyD_QLbL_BI/AAAAAAAABvc/M9DUqCHFEsU/s1600/helping-climber.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
<br />
Everybody wants to improve. But the truth is that it’s easier said than done ! How to improve ?<br />
<br />
The best way and the fastest way to improve is to learn from people who have gone through what we are going through and have succeeded. So instead of trying, experimenting on our own, failing and getting frustrated and demotivated, why not learn from people who are more competent than us ?<br />
<br />
If you are currently at Level 1, you have 2 choices :<br />
Keep on trying experimenting, failing, getting frustrated at Level 1<br />
Ask, consult and copy from people at Level 1<br />
<br />
If you do this, even if you succeed, you are still at Level 1. Your income and your condition have not improved SIGNIFICANTLY.<br />
<br />
The more logical and obvious way is to seek help and advice from people who are already at Level 2. People who are at Level 2 are those who have gone through Level 1 (they have gone through what you are going through now), and they have succeed at Level 1. That is why they are now at Level 2. They have found the right way of doing things at Level 1. Therefore it is most logical to ask help from people who are already at Level 2. They are the people most competent to give us the right advice. If you learn from people at Level 2, you will immediately learn the right way, shorten your learning curve and achieve success and go up to Level 2 must faster right ? Better to improve vertically (from Level 1 to Level 2) rather than improving horizontally from Level 1 to Level 1. Makes sense ? Correct ?<br />
<br />
WRONG!<br />
<br />
Although logically this idea makes sense, in reality, it is sometimes not practical. Why ?<br />
<br />
Because :<br />
<br />
People at Level 2 are themselves struggling to succeed at Level 2. They have not found the “secret” of success at Level 2. They can advice you how to succeed at Level 1, but may not have discovered the right method at Level 2.<br />
If you succeed and improve to Level 2, they may be threatened by your presence ! That is why they may be reluctant to really teach you and to help you.<br />
<br />
<b>So How ?</b><br />
<br />
So what is the best solution if you want to quickly improve vertically to Level 2? One very effective way is to seek help from people who are already at Level 3 ! People at Level 3 are the most ideal to help you and most willing to help you because :<br />
<br />
They have found the right way and have succeeded at Level 1<br />
They have found the right way and have succeeded at Level 2<br />
They are now already at Level 3 and they will not feel threatened if you move up to Level 2 because they are already 1 level above you !<br />
<br />
Makes sense ?<br />
<br />
<b>Therefore …</b><br />
<br />
This are the things that you have to do if you want to IMPROVE VERTICALLY<br />
<br />
What Level are you now ?<br />
Who do you know who is / are already at Level 3 ?<br />
Are you friends with them ?<br />
If No, then you must make friends with such people<br />
If you are already friends with them, then seek their advice <br />
After you have learnt the “secret”, quickly implement it<br />
Then continuously update your friend about your progress<br />
If you encounter any problems, continuously seek their advice<br />
After you have succeeded, let them know. They will be happy that they have helped someone to achieve better results… and yet they will not feel threatened by your presence because they are still 1 level above you.<br />
<br />
Keep Improving Vertically…<br />
<br />
After you have reached Level 2, do you seek the advice of your friend who is at Level 2 to help you to improve to Level 3 ?<br />
<br />
<b>NO !</b><br />
<br />
You look for people who are at Level 4, seek their advice and ask them to help you to improve vertically to Level 3.<br />
<br />
<br />
So what is the lesson you have learnt ?<br />
<br />
You may have to “change’ the friends that you are currently mixing with. They are nice to be with, but sorry, they may not be the right people to help you improve vertically<br />
You need to make friends with people who are 2 levels above you. It may not be comfortable mixing around with them at first because you are of “different frequency” and you may feel inferior being with the. But these are the people who will help you to improve.<br />
<br />
So stay comfortable but don’t improve,<br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
Get out of your comfort zone and keep improving vertically ?<br />
<br />
<br />
THE CHOICE IS REALLY YOURS !<br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cGZADpkNv0c/UqLxn5lTAbI/AAAAAAAABto/rCyY7AEym5w/s1600/unhappy_woman_resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cGZADpkNv0c/UqLxn5lTAbI/AAAAAAAABto/rCyY7AEym5w/s320/unhappy_woman_resize.jpg" width="237" /></a></div>
<br />
<h2 style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 10px 0px 0px; text-align: left;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">You ultimately become what you repeatedly do. If your habits aren’t helping you, they’re
hurting you. Here are a few examples of
the latter that will steal your happiness if you let them:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">1.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Focusing on
everyone’s story except your own.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Don’t be so satisfied with the success stories of others and
how things have gone for them that you forget to write your own. Unfold your own tale and bring it to
life. You have everything you need to
become what you are capable of becoming.
Incredible change happens when you decide to take control. This means consuming less and creating
more. It means refusing to let others do
your thinking, talking, and deciding for you.
It means learning to respect and use your own ideas and instincts to
write your passage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If you want your life story to soar to new heights, you’ve
got to clear a path, reduce the time-sinks and burdens weighing you down, and
pick up the things that give you wings.
Keep your best wishes and your biggest goals close to your heart and
dedicate time to them every day. If you
truly care about what you do and you work diligently at it, there’s almost
nothing you can’t accomplish.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">2.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Waiting for the
perfect moment.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Don’t buy into the myth of the perfect moment. Moments aren’t perfect; they’re what you make
them. So many people wait around for the
stars to align to do what they’re here to do.
The perfect moment, the perfect opportunity, the perfect state of being,
etc. Wake up! These states of perfection are myths. They do not exist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Your ability to grow to your highest potential is directly
related to your willingness to act in the face of imperfection. You will come to succeed not by finding a
perfect moment, but by learning to see and use life’s imperfections
perfectly. Read The Power of Now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">3.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Working for
nothing more than a paycheck.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Work without interest is imprisonment. Even if you aren’t super-passionate about
your work, you’ve got to at least be interested in it. When you design a lifestyle in which your
work is something you suffer through daily strictly to pay your bills, you end
up spending your entire life wishing you had someone else’s.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Think about it. This
is your life; your work will fill a large percentage of it. It’s not all about the money; it’s about
you. Ignore the propaganda, especially
from people who say, “Don’t let your work define you.” Reverse this message and mediate on it: “I will do work that defines me.” When the essence of who you are defines at
least some slice of the work you do for a living, that work generates
fulfillment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Bottom line: Interest
in your work puts quality in your output and happiness in your mind. Don’t settle for a paycheck. Shuffle around until you find work that
interests you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">4.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Harboring feelings
of hate.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">As Martin Luther King Jr. so profoundly said, “Darkness
cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do
that.” Truth be told, when we harbor
feelings of hate, it eventually gets the best of us. It takes control of us. We forget why we hate, what we hate, and whom
we hate – we simply hate for the sake of hating. And then, naturally, we begin to hate
ourselves too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Everything and everyone you hate rents permanent space in
both your head and heart. So if you want
to eliminate something or someone from your mind, don’t hate. Instead, disconnect yourself, move on, and
don’t look back. Read The Mastery of
Love.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">5.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Holding tight to
worries and fears.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Someday when you look back over your life you’ll realize
that nearly all of your worries and anxious fears never came to fruition – they
were completely unfounded. So why not
wake up and realize this right now. When
you look back over the last few years, how many opportunities for joy did you
destroy with needless worry and negativity?
Although there’s nothing you can do about these lost joys, there’s
plenty you can do about the ones that are still to come.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">You will find that it’s necessary to let some things go
simply for the reason that they’re heavy on your heart and soul. Let go of them. Don’t clamp shackles to your own ankles. It’s incredibly easy to enjoy more of your
life right now, no matter what the situation.
It’s just a matter of letting go of the layers of nonsense that are
weighing you down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Let go of your worries and fears, of your rage and jealousy,
of your need to always be right and control others. Let go of your pretentiousness and your need
to have everything your way. Underneath
all these layers of nonsense there is a happy, productive person. When you start peeling them off and simply appreciating
everything for what it is, life can be wonderfully fulfilling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">6. </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Dwelling on
difficulties.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">A bad day is just a bad day.
Choose not to make it anything more.
Times of adversity will inevitably affect the conditions in which you
live and work; yet you don’t have to let it affect who you are and where you’re
headed. Take note of the setbacks and
adjust to them, but don’t expand on them by making them a bigger part of your
life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Every day brings new lessons and new possibilities. There is always a way to take the next step
forward on the path you’ve chosen.
Events may be terrible and inescapable at times, but you always have
choice – if not when, then how, you may endure and proceed onward.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">7.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Constantly seeking
fleeting contentment.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">There are two variations of contentment in life – fleeting
and enduring. The fleeting type is
derived from instants of material comfort, while the enduring type is attained
through the gradual growth of your mind.
At a glimpse it might be difficult to decipher one from the other, but
as time rolls on it becomes vividly obvious that the latter is far superior.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Enduring contentment sustains itself through life’s ups and
downs, because through them your mind remains confident and at peace. On the other hand, when life’s fleeting
changes have the ability to ruffle your mind into a frenzy, even the most
elaborate physical comforts won’t make you any happier for very long. Read Stumbling on Happiness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">8. Trying to make a big difference all at once.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">If you want to make a difference in the world, start with
the world around you. Making a big
difference all at once is usually impossible, and the process of trying is
extremely stressful. However, instantly
making a difference in a few lives is entirely possible and usually fairly
easy. You just have to focus on one
person at a time and start with the one closest to you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Work to make a bunch of small splashes, and let the ripples
spread naturally. If you want to change
a person’s mind or mood, sometimes you have to change the minds or moods of the
people around them first. For instance,
if you make one person smile, their smile just might make others smile
too. In this subtle way, you can touch
the masses with your thoughtfulness without stressing yourself out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

someone who hurts you.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Sometimes you have to walk away from people, not because you
don’t care, but because they don’t. When
someone hurts you time and time again, accept the fact that they don’t care
about you. It’s a tough pill to swallow,
but it’s necessary medicine. Do NOT
strive to impress them any further.
Waste not another second of your time trying to prove something to
them. Nothing needs to be proven. Do not act with any thought of them ever
again. Read 1,000 Little Things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the importance of physical attractiveness.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Infatuating yourself with someone simply for what they look
like on the outside is like choosing your favorite food based on color instead
of taste. It makes no sense. It’s innate, invisible, unquantifiable
characteristics that create lasting attraction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Just as some people enjoy the smell of mint, while others
prefer the scent of cinnamon, there is an undeniable, magnetic draw that
attracts you to the qualities of certain people, places, and things. Sometimes it’s even the scars your soul
shares with them that reels you in and creates the very hinges that hold you
together in the long run.</span><span style="font-size: 2em;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RlkTky2De-8/UhimVZ5sy_I/AAAAAAAABoI/ojb6UWJQXH8/s1600/bigstock-Gratitude-37954498.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RlkTky2De-8/UhimVZ5sy_I/AAAAAAAABoI/ojb6UWJQXH8/s320/bigstock-Gratitude-37954498.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
If you want to change your life and attract health, wealth, and success in your relationships, begin by focusing on what you are grateful for right now. You can live the life of your dreams. Begin by being grateful. Here are four ideas to get you started:<br />
<br />
o Keep a Gratitude Journal<br />
o Carry a Gratitude Stone in your pocket<br />
o Notice what is going right each day<br />
o Find a Gratitude Partner<br />
<br />
<i><b>Keep a Gratitude Journal: </b></i><br />
You can do what I'm doing and begin a Gratitude Journal. Each day write something you're grateful for. Your attitude will shift as you focus on what you appreciate.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Carry a Gratitude Stone in your pocket: </b></i><br />
A small stone or other small token that you keep in your pocket can be used as a reminder to think about gratitude and to give thanks for the abundance in your life. This is an old idea that was mentioned in the movie "The Secret." This is a wonderful movie, by the way, which explains about how the Law of Attraction works.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Notice what is going right each day: </b></i><br />
If you focus on what is going right, rather than on what is going wrong, you will notice that your day is more pleasant and thinks that used to annoy you are now nothing more than background noise.<br />
<br />
<i><b>Find a Gratitude Partner: </b></i><br />
Some people have a Gratitude Partner, with whom they share their grateful thoughts for the day. I think it's a great way to start the day and it helps you keep the good feelings going. A Gratitude Partner will help you focus on the positive. Consistently focusing on what you appreciate reshapes your mind. That's powerful!<br />
<br />
I hope you'll try out these ideas and let me know how they work for you! I wish you the best of success in your pursuit of your dreams, Michelle<br />
<br />
The Law of Attraction is working for you whether you realize it or not. If you want to attract good things into your life, begin by developing an attitude of gratitude. Here are four ideas to get you started.<br />

<br />
Happy people do a lot of things. They spend time expressing gratitude, cultivating optimism, practicing kindness, nurturing loving relationships, committing to meaningful goals, savoring life’s little pleasures, and so on and so forth.<br />
<br />
But they NEVER…<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">1. Mind other people’s business.</span></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
Forget about what others are doing. Stop looking at where they are and what they have. Nobody is doing better than you because nobody can do better than you. YOU are walking your own path. Sometimes the reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes circumstances with everyone else’s public highlight reel. We listen to the noise of the world, instead of ourselves. So stop the comparisons! Ignore the distractions. Listen to your own inner voice. Mind your own business.<br />
<br />
Keep your best wishes and your biggest goals close to your heart and dedicate time to them every day. Don’t be scared to walk alone, and don’t be scared to enjoy it. Don’t let anyone’s ignorance, drama, or negativity stop you from being the best you can be. Keep doing what you know in your heart is right, for YOU. Because when you are focused on meaningful work and at peace within yourself, almost nothing can shake you. (Angel and I discuss this in more detail in the “Passion and Growth” chapter of 1,000 Little Things Happy, Successful People Do Differently.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">2. Seek validation of self-worth from others.</span></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
When you are content to simply be yourself, without comparing and competing to impress others, everyone worthwhile will respect you. And even more importantly, you will respect yourself.<br />
<br />
How are you letting others define you? What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?<br />
<br />
Truth be told, no one has the right to judge you. People may have heard your stories, and they may think they know you, but they can’t feel what you are going through; they aren’t living YOUR life. So forget what they think and say about you. Focus on how you feel about yourself, and keep walking the path that feels best under your feet.<br />
<br />
Those who accept you are your friends. Those who don’t are your teachers. If someone calls you something and it’s true, it’s not your problem because it’s true. If someone calls you something and it’s not true, it’s not your problem because it’s not true. Either way, whatever they call you is not your problem. What other people call you is their problem…<br />
<br />
What you call yourself, and who you decide to become, is your problem.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">3. Rely on other people and external events for happiness.</span></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
Unhappiness lies in that gap between what we have now and what we think we need. But the truth is, we don’t need to acquire anything more to be content with what we already have. We don’t need anyone else’s permission to be happy. Your life is magnificent not because someone says it is, or because you have acquired something new, but because you choose to see it as such. Don’t let your happiness be held hostage. It is always yours to choose, to live and experience.<br />
<br />
As soon as you stop making everyone and everything else responsible for your happiness, the happier you’ll be. If you’re unhappy now, it’s not someone else’s fault. Take full responsibility for your own unhappiness, and you will instantly gain the ability to be happier. Stop seeking in vain to arrange conditions that will make you happy. Simply choose to appreciate the greatness that is yours in this moment, and the right conditions will start to line up around the contentment you seek.<br />
<br />
The greater part of your happiness or unhappiness depends upon your outlook, and not upon our situation. Even if things aren’t perfect right now, think of all the beauty still left around you. A good reason to smile is always one thought away; choose to tap into it any time you like. (Read The Gifts of Imperfection.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">4. Hold on to resentment.</span></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
Let today be the day you stop being haunted by the ghosts from your past. What happened in the past is just one chapter in your story; don’t close the book, just turn the page.<br />
<br />
We’ve all been hurt by our own decisions and by others, and while the pain of these experiences is normal, sometimes it lingers for too long. Feelings of resentment urge us to relive the same pain over and over, and we have a hard time letting go.<br />
<br />
Forgiveness is the remedy. It allows you to focus on the future without combating the past. To understand the infinite potential of everything going forward is to forgive everything already behind you. Without forgiveness, wounds can never be healed and personal growth can never be achieved. It doesn’t mean you’re erasing the past, or forgetting what happened. It means you’re letting go of the resentment and pain, and instead choosing to learn from the incident and move on with your life.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">5. Spend prolonged periods of time in negative environments.</span></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
You can’t make positive choices for the rest of your life without an environment that makes those choices easy, natural, and enjoyable. So protect your spirit and potential from contamination by limiting your time with negative people and the environments they inhabit.<br />
<br />
When other people invite you to act like victims, when they whine and moan about the unfairness of life, for example, and ask you to agree, to offer condolences, and to participate in their grievances, WALK AWAY. When you join in that game of negativity you always lose.<br />
<br />
Even when you’re alone, create a positive mental space for yourself. Make it a point to give up all the thoughts that make you feel bad, or even just a few of them that have been troubling you, and see how doing that changes your life. You don’t need negative thoughts. They are all lies. They solve nothing. All they have ever given you is a false self that suffers for no reason. (Read Buddha’s Brain.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><span style="font-size: large;">6. Resist the truth.</span></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
It is a certain deathtrap when we spend our lives learning how to lie, because eventually these lies grow so strong in our minds that we become bad at seeing, telling and living our own truth. Lives come apart so easily when they have been held together with lies. If you resist the truth, you will live a lie every day as the truth haunts your thoughts every night. You simply can’t get away from your truth by moving dishonestly from one place to the next.<br />
<br />
So don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to hide the truth with deception; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion of what’s popular. It is better to offer no explanation or excuse than a false one. It takes courage and strength to admit the truth, but it is the only way to truly live. Accept what is, embrace it fully, and live for the possibilities that lie ahead.<br />
