A Tale of Two Men

Posted on by

This is a short story about two men with varying viewpoints on life. While neither is wrong, only one of them finds happiness…

 

One day a man decided it was time to venture out into the world and see what else the universe had to offer. Not feeling content with his current residency, he hoped to find better accommodations.

Approaching a nearby village, he meets an elder of the village.

“Excuse me sir!”

“Yes.” The elder replies.

“My name is Julio and interested in potentially relocating to your town. Can you tell me a bit about your town?”

The elder asks,”what are you looking for?”

The man replies, “well, I am looking for a place that will bring me happiness and gives me a sense of purpose.”

Elder replies, “why don’t you tell me a bit about where you are from.”

Interrupting the elder, “what kind of people live here. I mean, are they happy?”

Elder replies, “what kind of people live in your village?”

“oh, they are the meanest, nastiest people who I have known and that is why I am looking to move somewhere more pleasant.”

The elder sadly, “I am sorry to report, but the people who live here sound just like wherever you came.”

To his dismay, the man left and never returned.

 

Oddly enough, another gentleman arrives at the village and greets the same elder.

“Good day to you sir.”

The elder replies, “It is a fine day in deed.”

“could you tell me what kind of people live in this town? I am considering relocating from my current place of residency.”

The elder smiles, as if it was very familiar in conversation, “why don’t you tell me about the people the live in your current village.”

“oh, well they are nicest people I have ever known. It will be sad to move, but I am looking for a change of scenery and looking to live somewhere similar to my home.”

The elder smiles brighter, “you are in luck, as it sounds like the same types of people we have here.”

The man wasted no time, packed up his things and moved to the nearby village.

 

While one man remained lost as a pilgrim, searching for something outside of his boundaries in hopes of finding happiness, the other was as sure as the Warrior…accepting happiness wherever he goes. One mans viewpoint was of misery, while the other found a silver-lining in every cloud. One man continues searching for peace and happiness, while the other merely chooses it.

Stepping into the Canvas with a new attitude…One of happiness, seeing all as good. Even in times of suffering it is possible to find good…we just have to look a little harder. Do you see people as irritating or judgmental? Or do you see them Friendly, caring human beings? Whichever you choose, it is merely reflecting the mirror you carry…

Taking the Next Steps

Posted on by

 

When we first identify necessity for change, the first step proves most difficult. Making the first step often with resistance. Resistance comes from not only outside influences, but mainly from the self. The self-sabotage is very common and it is imperative to stay focused on what it is we want. If we focus on what we don’t want, we attract more of what we don’t want.
Focusing on what we want, we attract more of what we are looking for. Mow what? Staying focused on what we want, an invisible force steps in to assist. The next steps are very crucial and requires a bit of effort.

“Just the mere observation by the scientist can change the whole outcome.”~Wayne Dyer

Tell nobody of your plan, as  interjection by another can alter the intended outcome. time to create a plan. It is a good idea to write out our goals and keep them nearby as to place them in our daily thought process. First or intentions, applied to paper and finally into our daily practice.
By writing down our goals and placing in plain sight, applying imagery, we apply an invisible technology used by many cultures before us. The Mayan and Egyptian societies introduced this to their people and has carried on through history.
Thoughts become actions, actions become things, things become our new reality. Staying on course with our intentions we instinctively change our daily patterns and continuously change our direction with occasional update to our vision board. The vision board holds our dreams in plain sight, allowing us to keep our course.
Stepping into the canvas with new direction, we instinctively change our course and collaborate with dormant forces supplied by not only self but universal forces. Take this opportunity to dream it, take this time to write it, take this time to align with what you most desire and be ready to let go of previous beliefs. This is your day…make your dreams come true….
