The Secret Continues
[ 4:39 AM ]
As i go about reading The Secret , i feel a weird sense of empowerment and positivity just rushes into my veins.No longer do i feel lost.I no longer feel alone.What i feel is Potential accomplishments coming my way and the knowledge that i have the power of mind.
What the mind can conceive , the body can achieve.
Every chapter every page every paragraph makes a difference in my life right now.
Patience and faith is really the key.
"Most of the time, when we dont see things that we've requested, we get frustrated.We get disappointed. And we begim to become doubtful.The doubt brings about a feeling of disappointment.TAKE THAT DOUBT AND SHIFT IT.Recognise that feeling and replace it
with a feeling of UNWAIVERING FAITH.say, "i know it's on its way"
Feel the way you will feel once it arrives Begin to feel wonderful about it.Feel it now.
-Lisa Nichols
Take the first step in faith , you dont have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step
-Dr Martin Luther King
You can start with nothing, and out of nothing and out of no way, a way will be made
-Michael Bernard Beckwith
The first quote has got to be my favourite these days.I used to feel like shit, useless, hopeless, helpless and desperate. This quote has turned my perception around and now, i cant stop smiling.You just gotta have faith.Know what you want and believe.
I experimented with this newfound"power of mind" thingy.
SCENARIO 1running late, i refuse to wait in queue for a cab.Went to a narrow relatively secluded road and waited for one.
"i want a cab i want a cab(not "need", zero tolerance level for any doubt that will find its way in my thoughts)
"It is on its way, i know it is."and i stood there smiling and believing.Unlike most other times when i would be calling up ppl complaining to them , giving up, swearing at every car tt looked like a cab from afar!
Lo and behold, within 3-5 mins of each wait, a cab comes by.
SCENARIO 2I was hungry, i wanted to eat but i couldn get out of the outlet to get food because i was alone.
I didnt complain.I didnt turn grumpy at customers or throw tantrums(like i used to) i didnt blame.
Instead i thought positive thoughts" i want food.i want to eat" I imagined i already ate and i felt relatively full.And i believed that i would be able to catch time to get food in between work and school.i was positive.i was smiling.
2 hrs later , Zuliana called my Budget Terminal from Terminal 2."hey you want me to come?i bungkus makanan, are you hungry?i ll buy chicken curry rice for you and then we makan together"
I didnt even breath a word to her abt being hungry . It just happened.
And with open arms i received it.But i already know how it felt.It felt good and i was grateful.
Like i said, it changed my attitude.I know what ahead of me is within my control.My thoughts, feelings and attitude will see me through.
no more"i dont think i can do this , i dont think im good enough" cos things just worsen when i keep bad thoughts.
But of course, i do still get sad thoughts.
At least i know NOW where and how to switch it to nice happy memories.
And im grateful.
