YOU WILL GO NUTS IF YOU BELIEVE IN LUCK
Successful people are not successful because they are lucky, 'strugglers' do not struggle because they are unlucky, even though it may seem that way. The only reason it may seem that way is because we have been hypnotized to believe in luck... good and bad. We pick up stuff (beliefs, superstitions, and attitudes) from others and behave as if it is true. Behavioral scientists and psychologists call it conditioning. A classical example of highly effective hypnotism.
ALBERT EINSTEIN said, "The most incomprehensible fact about the universe is, that is it comprehensible." That means that nothing in the universe happens by luck or by accident. Just because you may not know what the cause is for success or for struggle, does not mean there is no logical cause. It just means the cause is not known... to you. Why is it that some people are successful even in the worst economy with lousy circumstances and some people continue to struggle even in a booming economy with the best of circumstances? Uh! Uh! Don't say luck.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON (remember him?) said, "Circumstances do not make the man, but rather circumstances reveals man to himself." That means that under the exact same circumstances an open-minded, optimistic person will have a more rewarding result than a narrow-minded, pessimistic person. Optimists are more inclined to have a creative edge over pessimists when it comes to being successful under the same conditions that the struggle-minded struggle...
Professionals in every field of business agree that optimistic, open-minded employees are more creative, more productive, more valuable, more in demand, and are more inclined for greater and more rapid advancement than pessimistic, narrow-minded bellyachers.
Attitude (positive or negative) is an electromagnetic energy that effects mental and physical well-being.
Not everyone has an optimistic or pessimistic attitude about the same things, or the same degree of optimism or pessimism about the same things. Isn't that interesting?
That means......UNDESIRABLE CIRCUMSTANCES AND SITUATIONS ARE NOT THE CAUSE OF YOUR PESSIMISTIC ATTITUDES OR NARROW-MINDEDNESS, EVEN THOUGH IT MAY SEEM THAT WAY. Otherwise, everyone would have the exact same degree of PESSIMISM and NARROW-MINDEDNESS about the same circumstances... AND THEY DON'T. Think about it.
That's why not everyone who is in a wheelchair, or who is sightless, or who is physically challenged in some way considers themselves unproductive or useless. You know who they are.
When you are pessimistic about anything, ANYTHING, you are really possessed by a mechanism (habit) that is directing your mind to think in the limited ways that cause the tense and stressful emotions that screw up your mental, and physical well-being, some way... somehow.
Exhausting and frustrating yourself while looking for the 'right' opportunity that will take you from struggle to success will be futile unless you de-hypnotize yourself from the narrow-minded attitude that brought about struggle in the first place. Otherwise the struggle habit continues to do its thing... whatever opportunity you choose.
