To expose feelings is to risk rejection.
To love is to risk not being love in return.
To reach out to another is to risk involvement.
To Laugh is to risk appearing a fool.
To place dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
One may avoid suffering or sorrow,but one cannot feel, improve, upgrade, leap or encompass.
Chained by one’s own prison, one’s just a slave of life.
One has forfeited freedom. Only a person who dares to dream, action and risk is free
How we turn out depends on what type of friends we hang out with. Isn’t that a common sense you think? What you think will also attract what type of friends you have, therefore we need to better choose your mates.
I’m not saying you should look down on those people you think you don’t have in common too. What I mean you should spend on productive time talking to right-minded friends. And those friends outside the niche, you ought to spend less time with, especially if they are the type who are negative in thinking, and every inkling of good idea is a no-go to them. If you are hanging with them, my advice is don’t talk to them about your plans and objectives because in the end, you will going to have greatly hurt and demoralised by their negative jibes.
For example, I myself is into spirituality, especially about Marie Callas teachings. If I tell my normal group of friends, I’m sure I’ll be bombarded with words like “She’s a scam!”, “Why are you so gullible to believe in all these!” or “I never believe in her all this while.”
At the same time, how we spend our time on is important too. What do we fill our own mind with? Often I hear folks say that they can’t accomplish something because of ___________. (fill in the blank)
If it is due to time, I find that they are always spending time on activities that are was not related to their objectives and they come back to complain they have no time to do that!
If it is money, often they mindlessly spend money on things that have little significance.
If it is emotional support, often they surround themselves with the very people who will attempt to dampen their spirits.
Ultimately it is about awareness and the willingness to move consistently towards one’s intentions, visions and wants.
Personal beliefs can make or break a person’s future. It is the only thing that keeps us separated from abundance. Belief and we will be rewarded and struggling forever in pausity may result if there is a negative personal belief. It’s as if telling ourselves I don’t feel that we are worth the wealth and I don’t deserve it, so how will wealth come to you? We undermine ourselves and simply don’t believe it is possible to realise. Maybe we have had some bad experiences in the past and thus we are reluctant to try again.
Wealth is energy. Take good care of it and let it flow it freely like a clear stream of water. Do not harbour any selfish motives or it will shun away from you. It gives for those who appreciate and cherish it.
I firmly have positive faith in myself and my future. I know wealth will come to me someday and by then, I will be able to retire and do what I love to do.
