ONLY YOU CAN……

Good afternoon friends….even though it is afternoon I think it is still a wonderful time for a nice rich cup of coffee! it appears to be getting colder by the hr and I, as I am sure many of you, wish the cold were gone!!! Well one of my dear readers passed a little notation on to me this afternoon and I find a world of truth in its little dialog. So read on and enjoy!!

 

WHO HAS BEEN HINDERING YOUR GROWTH
    This is good!  Timely for some ...
       One day all the employees reached the office and they saw a big sign on the door on which it was written:

    'Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this Company passed away.

    We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym'.
    In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started
getting curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his colleagues and the company itself. The
excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more
people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up.  Everyone thought: 'Who is this guy who was hindering
my progress?
    Well, at least he died!'. One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked
inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone
had touched the deepest part of their soul.
    There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself.  There was also a
sign next to the mirror that said: 'There is only one person who is capable to set Limits to your growth: it is YOU. Your life does not
change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when
your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs.  Examine
yourself, watch yourself. Don't be afraid of difficulties, impossibilities and losses: be a winner, build yourself
and your reality.. It's the way you face Life that makes the difference!

Now, isn't that wonderful? Do you see the impact that this thought could release in your life? Isn't it tremendous that how big we sometimes think we are but when you really examine things how small we really are? Friends, it has been said that you are only as you think you are. Now, many don't realize one of the most important things in life, and I can say this from personal experience that you are the only one responsible for what has happened in your life! Well ok you may or may not agree, and that is ok, why because it is a hard concept to come to grips with. I know it was for me! I didn't want to be responsible for the things that had happened in my life! You know unfortunate for my folks whom I love very dearly, I felt that they were responsible among others for the way I was. But thankfully and here again that little light of intuition came on, I saw the light!! You see I have come to the realization that I as a child would not had to suffer as many punishing consequences as I did if I had just done the right thing as I was told.

Many times I felt that was the only way to get my fair share of the attention, good or bad. Was that the right way to think? Many times(and this is just my experience with my own kids), that we get so tied up in trying to support or families, especially the father figures, that we don't have the time or energy for a whole lot of anything else; this was a large personal struggle for me because I worked so much and didn't seem to get any where, and especially with my wife and family. Now, one of my favorite sayings is IF YOU WANT THINGS IN YOUR LIFE TO CHANGE THEN YOU WILL NEED TO CHANGE THINGS IN YOUR LIFE!!! How true is that!! Would you like another little exercise that I love to do? Well even if you don't I will give it to you and let you do with it what you will! Get comfy and relax…ask your self one question what would my perfect day be like?.......now close your eyes and take a deeeep breath…..I even like to put a little soft music on, and just start to count your breaths……as you count start to let your mind wander….. Let it wander and watch the magic…….if properly executed it will tell you about you……remember what you see….feel yourself living that perfect day. All the joy and happiness that it breathes…..and if you maintain this thought and think upon it often it will get clearer and you will change, your attitude will change your life will change to a point that you will be ready to receive that wonderful blessing from God.

You may think I have went off of the deep end but you need to let your inner self have a say sometimes before you can know what goal to achieve. I personally love this little exercise…it allows you to go… explore you and your dreams. Have fun with this exercise of the mind and remember if you want change the only one that can change you is you….May God bless
