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.. .. . . . . http://crusaderii..in/2015/03/50-days-with-azinmagba-johnday-1.html?m=1 |

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:- loading....... |

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. Rule 4:- loading..... |
