Due to constant change, we must programme our minds to activate acceptance. It secures our peace of mind. We are constantly bedevilled with challenges in almost every area and we lack the resources to immediately weather the storms. Unless we seek solutions to these challenges through getting acquainted with them and searching consistently for solutions, we would always be left in despair.
We go to bed knowing the price of an item. We awake the following morning to be slapped in the face with a new price. Meanwhile, we had prepared for something entirely different. We find it difficult to plan and the experiences are similar; they apply in other areas of our daily operations so that we are often left disappointed because of inflationary trends.
This is not a time to waste time procrastinating. Whatever you seek to do and you can find the resources whether remotely or otherwise, just get it done because wasting the time could spell a change that you never envisaged; and that could be extremely unsettling and discomforting.
One thing is constant in the space today. Though it's always been but the propensity has increased in recent times. And that is the arithmetic increase of problems and challenges. Life is a place of constant problems. Seeking and providing solutions keep us engaged. This is the hard fact and reality that we must face.
We have to activate the code of acceptance. We have to always be prepared for the worse. I do not know of anything that is as sure as this. On the other side of it, there is a consciousness of the possibility of the positive but this only happens when we get comfortable with fixing problems. With a problem-solving mindset, we earn wisdom and create wealth.
The problems we seek solutions to earn and teach us discretion and growth. The problems we leave unattended stifle and cripple us. We cannot reiterate this position enough. Pause a moment and weigh it. You should see a pattern. To position yourself for this lifestyle means that you have to constantly develop yourself, and stay focused on being a lifelong learner.
Only yesterday I was talking to a business friend and colleague on the question of life being short and the need to do what needs to be done or something in that line. While I don't really disagree with that position, I do think that life is not as short as we say. I think that our failure to live purposefully with intention and deliberately do things should earn us a fulfillment of a rare sort. Through this, we should understand that life is not as short as we always think. My friend adds that finding and living your purpose is the only KPI. That is insightful, if you ask me.
Quit wasting your time on the things that hold no enduring value both to you and those around you. It is for those around you that you exist. Take your time at the end of each day to write out one or two things that you accomplished both for yourself and in the service of others. This is a good place to start with evaluating how you expend your resources: life, energy, time and all.
It is funny how much we do not know about how our resources dwindle each passing moment. Now, think about that a moment. You are not getting younger. You are not getting stronger. You don't have more time each day. And even when you have more money, it's because there are more needs to meet with it. Think again about that.
The uncertainties in the space are as sure as you exist. They do not and will not abate. But, the question remains: What do you do about this? How do you maintain emotional and mental balance in an unbalanced space that threatens your very existence? These things will not go away.
You must accept the truth in all its totality. What is truth to you? If your truth is not life, peace of mind to you, and if it does not point you in way of the Infinite, you must excuse yourself and settle the question with yourself. You will find what you seek. You will receive what you ask for. It may however not align with your sensual expectations.
If you earn the virtue of acceptance and daily apply it in all that you do, you should fill the gap of being unsatisfied and unfulfilled. Something must key within you beyond what the majority subscribe to. This places you in the place that is beyond the physical, though you inhabit the material space.
Failure is not the lack of money. Failure in some way is the lack of finding your unique code and unleashing it in the service of mankind. Those who truly make impact and affect humanity in phenomenal ways found and became their spark and by so doing, earned their purpose regardless of how short or long they lived.
Balance is earned sometimes in being more than in having through using solitude to be the impact that influences others beyond physical presence. Yes, it is possible because today, more than yesterday, we are presented with great opportunities to become and to manifest essence.
You definitely can be this if you earn the mastery of shutting yourself out of the defeaning noises in your environment and embracing the calming silence that resides within your being. There is a silence that dwells within, but you must not only find it, you must nurture it by the choices that you make each new day.
You cannot afford to live by the choices of other men who oftentimes are unworthy examples. Wayne Dyer said you must remind yourself that you cannot fail at being yourself. Now, nobody ever failed at being authentic because they only invent who they are by making actual their potential through finding themselves. This is bliss.
You can weather the storms of life. You can win by accepting the Way of Life that's set for you; the price has been paid, but you only need to plug into it. This is not sermonizing. This is Life. In this, by this, and through this, indeed in Him, all things consist, whether it is in business, be it in entrepreneurship, banking, insurance, medicine, engineering, or what have you. If you seek to know, you will find.
We have not because we ask not. If we ask, we will receive if we believe. We believe in order to see. If we believe it, we will manifest it. But we do not receive because we are full of doubts and more importantly, we do not know exactly what it is that we seek.
Can you withdraw yourself a little and engage with yourself? Can you enquire from within where value resides for you? Can you practise the art of seeking the Unseen from which all things emanate and consist? If you find the grace which has appeared to all, though received only by few, you should earn balance in your affairs even if external influences think otherwise.
As I end this piece, I ask you: Will burdens and pains cease? Will crippling problems stop? Will wars cease? While not being rhetorical, I do know that wars and attrition will not cease as long as lands and territories are.
The only thing that will save it is the acceptance of Life; and only One Being in the entire human race has referred to Himself as that. It is not a subject of controversy to those who have been brought into the treasure of acceptance.
