BELIEVING IN THE BOUNTY OF LIFE

“There is a lie that
acts like a virus within the mind of humanity.
And that lie is, “There
is not enough good to go around.”
- Michael
Bernard Beckwith in ‘The Secret’
The
more I reflect on the subject – ‘How ordinary people, like you and me, become extraordinarily
successful’ – I get more and more convinced, that they all had a very, very
clear picture of what they wanted.
Yes, the first thing towards any achievement is being
clear (In Napoleon Hill’s words – ‘being definite’) about what you want to
achieve.
It sounds so simple! Yes, you and I can, always, be ‘definite’
about what we want to achieve. What is tough is to ‘believe’, with that
rock-solid faith in our hearts, that we can achieve it!
Napoleon Hill had made it famous when he had given us the
power-line:
“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can
achieve!”
Wayne Dyer had put it this way:
“You will see it when
you believe it!”
And, almost, all the great
teachers of success philosophy have taught us this: Everything in this world is
created twice – once inside (man’s mind), and, once, outside!”
And, despite having heard this from
every great teacher or achiever, when it comes to our own lives, we still doubt,
we still say, “I will believe it only when I see it!”
I get
more and more convinced, as each day rolls by, that we have to first conceive and
believe in our minds our respective dreams… before we ‘see’ them manifest. It
is important, that we trust the Universe more and more… by being grateful,
helpful, loving and giving. A million years have not emptied the oceans or filled space in the skies… There is more out there for every earnest soul, who makes
his claim with all the faith he owns. The more and more we ask, the more and
more the Universe provides… The more we look for goodness around us, the more
and more goodness we find… The more and
more we bless others, the more and more we get blessed!
Talking about such men and women –
the ‘Givers’ – Kahlil Gibran had said:
“Through the hands of
such as these, God speaks;
and, from behind their
eyes, He smiles upon earth!”
As he had reminded us, let’s
believe in the bounty of life… Our coffers will be never empty, then!
