Reasons Behind You

What is great life? While visiting blogs, I had seen articles written Kathy Gates, Professional Life Coach, posted by Bloggers. Kathy shared with people 7 secrets of a Great Life. Indeed they are true. Today I visit Popular. I saw books on Achieving a Happy Life, Achieving your dreams, but I never flip the book. I never pick up the book. I continued to walk, looking at titles of books. I saw "An inspiring book by a girl, SHAME, real story but names changed to protect identity of the person." Besides the book is another book, 'the diary of a dog" and above it, "The science of Getting Rich". I had seen so many people talking about it on the internet. I took the book and managed to read half the page, and after that I had to go.

I had been asking myself, subconsciously, am I leading the correct life? Today, someone asked me, "Hey, both you and your husband not working, how you sustain living?" I shall deal with this in another blog, another post.

My Views of Great Life

The Power Of Belief - Anthony Robbins


1. Beliefs
What is your beliefs in life? This is actually your goals of life, purpose of living and your life motto.

Before you sell insurance, you have to believe that life insurance is good. Life insurance helps families. Knowing the importance of insurance, you will appreciate what you sell. You believe that your job is a noble one. Even though you had lots of rejections, but ultimately you will help many innocent victims, the family of the deceased in future.

That is belief related to your work. You may be working as real estate agent. It works the same way. Why do you want to work real estate? Is it for money, as people said you can earn lots of commission by selling a billion dollars property? Or do you work in real estate because of other reasons? I believe that people do things for their own reasons. People do not need to tell you their reasons but to those people who aspire to succeed for their dreams, they always have a reason.

What is your belief if your job is a teacher? You ought to know what is your job and you must be able to believe that you are able to inculcate your values and knowledge to your students. To the school teacher, you believe that what you say and what you do will affect and influence the children. You gain self-satisfaction when you see your children's progress. If you love your job, you will believe that hardwork, patience and love will ultimately change the weaker students. You would want be happy to see your children succeed in future.

When you have beliefs in your life, it is anaglous to holding a microphone in front of the audience, regardless of where you are, what work you do. Holding the microphone will always remind you that what you say, what you do is all for your beliefs. Your beliefs would ultimately be subscious, you do not need to think about your beliefs, memorize it or rehearse it. Holding the microphone, whatever things you say and do is all for the GOOD of people around you. For example, selling insurance, teaching your students, helping your friends/prospects to find their perfect homes, and so on.

At work, you hold on to your working microphone. At home, what microphone do you use? At social gathering or function, do you use another microphone? At the market, at the shopping centre, at the factory, at the ballroom, regardless of where you are, what kind of microphone are you using? You saw singers singing with their microphones, there are different styles of holding the microphone, there are microphones which are loud enough for audience to listen clearly. There are lousy microphones which people at the back cannot hear the singers clearly.

If you belief what you are doing is correct, and it is true, holding your microphone (your beliefs), you will be able to support your own viewpoints, your backup for your own action, when you face with objections and obstacles. If you are very sure of your belief, you will be able to face objections. This is because you know very well what you are doing. You have all the reasons to support your action.

Not all our beliefs are correct. Not all our beliefs are good. Sometimes, we need friends or even strangers to enlighten us. When we found that our beliefs are wrong, then it should be corrected and discontinued immediately. For example, the belief that drug taking is a good way to solve problems, the belief that you are always right (and you always want people to do what you want or according to what you think!).

I have not studied philosophy, I have not studied psychology, but according to what I had learned and experience in my life, this is my believe of beliefs. This is what I believe about beliefs and that beliefs is the first thing which leads to what you choose to do in lives (making decision), and ultimately lead to other aspects of life.

Here is a poem about Heart by Wordsworth. Wordsworth, the young democrat and supporter of the French Revolution, finds nothing as inspiring and liberating in the life of his own country.

The World Is Too Much with Us
The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon,
The winds that will be howling at all hours,
And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers,
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not. Great God! I'd rather be
A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;
So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,
Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;
Have sight of Proteus coming from the sea;
Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.
