I wish somebody had explained this lesson to me when I was younger because you learn more about yourself from people you’re not fond of than you learn from the people you like.
Time is a wonderful concept, people are forever talking about what they did in the past and what they’re going to do in the future but what most people fail to realise is there is only one time that matters, and that time is now because that is the only time we control.
“Let the past go because you can’t change it; don’t worry about the future because it will never arrive; give one hundred percent of your effort to making your now perfect, if you can’t make it perfect, accept it for what it is; perfectly imperfect.”
You choose who you are by the most common thoughts you possess. It really is that simple; I’ve seen boys in Africa kicking around a ball shaped bag of rags with enormous smiles on their faces. They were happy because they chose to be happy.
“When you make the most of everything you have, you will be happy too.”
Your attitude is based on why you want to accomplish your goals.
If you do anything for selfish reasons, you will have a selfish attitude; if everything you do is designed to help other people, you will have a helpful attitude.
Example: The man who does everything for money will never have enough money; the man who does everything to help other people will always have a smile on his face and plenty of money in the bank.
One attitude will have you chasing money forever and the other attitude will get you everything you need.
I know which one I’m choosing.
