Know Your Goals

-
Adversity is often a product of confused thinking, lack of proper goals and aims in life. If an individual is doing what he does not like to do or doing what he is not supposed to do or do not know what he should do, chances are he is inviting trouble into his life. It is also true that if a person is already going through difficulties and has not learned his lesson, chances are he may have to cope with more difficulties for a longer time.


Resolve today to know what you think your aims are. Try to know to what extent you lack clarity on this issue, which is causing confusion and restlessness in your life. If you have clearly defined goals and if you are determined mentally to achieve them, solutions will come eventually. You will perceive hidden opportunities and present themselves to your conscious mind which will lead you towards your goals. Whatever be the gravity of the situation, keep the goals clearly in your mind and focus on them.

Make them an integral part of your consciousness, so that whether you are awake or asleep they are there in your subconscious mind secretly awakening and integrating your hidden potentialities to precipitate the reality you so desire. Develop a sincere and genuine, if not serious, urge to achieve your goals. Remember, goals are the hands that shade your dreams in the world of reality.

Direct, Indirect and No Control

-
The problems we face fall in one of the three areas: direct control (problems involving our own behaviour); indirect control (problems involving other people's behaviour); no control (problems we can do nothing about, such as our past or situational realities). The proactive approach puts the first step in the solution of all three kinds of problems within our present Circle of Influence. Direct control problems are solved by working on our habits. They are obviously within our Circle of Influence. These are the "Private Victories". Indirect control problems are solved by changing our methods of influence. These are the "Public Victories". Most people have only three or four of these methods in their repertoire, starting usually with reasoning, and, if that doesn't work, moving to flight or fight. How liberating it is to accept the idea that I can learn new methods of human influence instead of constantly trying to use old ineffective methods to ...

Learn From The Past

-
Adversity comes into our lives because somewhere in our lives we open a door for it. It maybe because of some flaw in our character, thinking or attitude. It is therefore very important to analyse our thoughts and actions to understand what in us attracted this situation in the first place. A careful analysis of our immediate past can bring to light the real causes that precipitated the present adversity. It would help an individual to understand the role he played in precipitating the tragedy and what actions he should have done or not done to prevent it from happening. Was it because he was careless, ruthless, over confident, unprepared, or was it because he trusted an untrustworthy person? A careful analysis of one's past is therefore very crucial to understand the causes that brought about the adversity in the first place. In adversity it is normal for people to think about the past in an emotional way or prejudiced way. It is also normal on their part to try to forget abo...

Embrace the new frontier

-
Fortunately, for all of us, a new frontier is upon us. Because our nation, and world, has entered the Information Age, the old patterns for living are gone. An article by business writer John Huey appeared in the June 27, 1994 edition of Fortune . In it, Huey observed, "Let's say you're going to a party, so you pull out some pocket change and buy a little greeting card that plays 'Happy Birthday' when it's opened. After the party, some-one casually tosses the card into the trash, throwing away more computer power than existed in the entire world before 1950." In the old paradigm, forged in the Industrial Age, human beings became less and less useful and adventurous. We found lifelong employment in guaranteed jobs and did our jobs the same way until retirement. Then, once we reached retirement age, we became thoroughly useless to society and lived lives dependent on the government, our relatives, or our own savings that we accumulated in our "useful...
