50 Days With AZINMAGBA JOHN
(Day 1)
RULE # 1 :- KEEP IT UNDER YOUR HAT:
You are about to embark on a life-changing
adventure, possibly if you choose to accept this
mission. You are about to discover ways to
become positive, happier and more successful in
everything you do. There is no need saying
anything to anybody about this. Keep quiet,
remember no one likes a talkative.
There may well be times when you do want to talk
to people about what you are doing because quite
naturally , you need to share it with someone. Well
you can't and you don't , let them find out for
themselves with no clue from you.
You will get a warm glow from changing your
altitude to life and having people ask what it is you
have done, are doing and you can say it's nothing,
merely a sunny day and you feel better. There is
no need to go into details because that's not really
what they want to know, it's exactly the opposite
of what they want to know. It's a bit like when
someone asks "how are you?", the one word they
really want to hear is just ' Fine', even if you are
the very bit of despair, then they can be about
their business without any further involvement. If
you don't say fine but instead unburden yourself
,they will back off pretty quickly..

Rule #2 : YOU'LL GET OLDER BUT NOT
NECESSARILY WISER.
There is an assumption that as we get older we
will get wiser, not true I'm afraid. The truth is that
we carry on being just as daft, still making plenty
of mistakes ( new and different ones). The secret
is to accept this and not to beat yourself up when
you make new ones(mistakes).
Looking back, we can always see the mistakes
we made but we fail to see the ones looming up.
We do learn from experience and may not make
the same mistakes again, but there is a large
pool of fresh ones lying in patience for us to trip
and fall.
Also, the older you get, the more areas you are
bound to make mistakes in. There will always be
new genre of experiences where we have no guild
lines and where we will handle things badly. The
more flexible we are , the more adventurous ,the
more life embracing and the more new avenue to
explore and of course make mistakes.
Just be kind to yourself when you muck things up,
be forgiving and accept its all part of that growing
older but not wiser routine. Also remember that all
rules that apply to you has to do with everyone
around you, they are getting older too and not any
wiser particularly.
Once you accept this you'll be more forgiving and
kinder towards yourself and others.

Rule #3: ACCEPT THE PAST AND EMBRACE THE
PRESENT
People make mistakes, sometimes very serious
ones which are not deliberate or personal.
Sometimes people don't just know what they are
doing. This means that, if in the past people have
behaved badly towards you, it wasn't necessarily
because they meant to be horrid but because they
were naive, foolish , and as human as the rest of
us.
Accept that which is done as done and you need to
just get on with things. Don't use the label "good"
and "bad". Yes I know some of it is indeed bad but
it is how we let it affect us that is the real BAD.But
you will let them go, embrace them as character
forming and in general as positive not negative.
You need to realise that even if we could get all the
people who had "done us wrong", there would still
be nothing they can do. We could shout at
them,berate them, rant at them , but there would
still be nothing to amend the past. They too would
have to accept, that what is done, is done. There is
no going back, only forward.
Make it a motto for life : KEEP MOVING FORWARD.
