Positive thinking

[BANKS]

My mum of all people has got me onto this positive thinking thing. "The universe" etc. Ask the universe and you shall receive.

Scarily it’s working, in a funny kind of way...

I always used to think that your destiny was set, fate as you call it. But as of late my view of that has somewhat changed. I now feel that you can set your own destiny. You can change things with positive thinking. The planets have a lot to do with it as well. The alignment and position of them.

Im not into tarrot reading or any of that but my mum got one. From a lady in the states that has never met her and would have know physical way of knowing personal details about my mum.

The information she said was so close to home and accurate it was scary. She may as well have mentioned names. Well she mentioned dates.

After changing my views I actually feel more centred with everything. Don’t get me wrong im not going to turn hippy, become one with the trees and collect crystals, but I just feel like im in control.

Our business isn’t doing so well atm because it’s largely reliant on the airline industry. If they aren’t doing so well. We don’t do well. Anyway we've been in this situation b4, where money was a problem due to no work coming through because of 9/11 right (back in 2001). I remember this time greatly as it was a very low point not only as a business but also as a family. We took it very hard, my parents and I were very stressed and on the edge due to the pressures. We got out of that situation sweet as work started to pick up and returned to normal.

Here we are again in 2008 going threw the same problems. But this time we're taking it a lot better. Its not that we now know how to handle the situation as we have been threw it before, it’s something different. We're in a worse position yet we are all so positive.

I 100% believe it’s all about positive thinking. If you send out positive vibes, the "universe" will pick these up and things naturally get better. Send crappy vibes out and bingo, a bird ****s on you etc.

I said b4 that mum got a tarot reading or what ever they are, something to do with a psychic. Anyway her reading was unbelievable. I was so sceptical when mum told me she had got one I basically read it with the mentality of it being 100% bullcrap.

From the first sentence I knew this lady has somehow I don’t know, could see exactly what was going on with not only my mum’s life but also the whole families. She foretold of our current misfortune and how we should go about improving it, amongst other things that I will keep private.

Anyway, we are taking this approach she suggested and its working, slowly but surely its working and totally to our favour. 10 months apparently until our business will be stronger then ever. So in knowing this information I think this is why our family has taken this tuff time very well. I can see it in my parent’s faces. They literally don’t care what’s going on atm because they have faith that everything will smooth itself out by the way they keep a positive attitude.

Sorry to make that so long but you cant really try to explain it in one paragraph.

I just wanted to know if anyone else believes in this way of looking at life?

Nope don't believe it at all. Your life pans out based on decisions you make. nothing else.You make one mistake you learn from it, so of course the outcome is different.

Without looking at that vid I'm pretty sure it's the one where they think it to be so, therefor it is....

LOL!!! "There will be a parking spot for me in the parking lot............." SMASH!!!

*me goes to watch the video now cause the Chaser guys are hillarious*

Oh, and back on topic, it's all a crock of ****. Life is what you make of it and based on the outcomes of decisions as minux said. You live, you learn, you die. Simple.

"I just wanted to know if anyone else believes in this way of looking at life?"

Hard work either mentally or physically or a combination of both should enable a person to save money.

Risk; either job wise or having to rely on others for outcomes can be like tossing a coin.

To succeed in life it is good to listen to many points of view and to copy others who have made a sucess of their life. But; set your own goals.

If your business is not doing well, it's because your business plan is poor.

You may not have planned for un-seen events.

If your plan is wrong, admit it to yourself and take the appropriate actions to fix things.

Find a job that you like.

Sell articles and things you can do without.

Consolidate your funds.

Re-assess your long term goals.

Work longer hours in a job that pays well or get 2 jobs.

But most of all, have realistic expectations the only person that can pull off that head-shot at 800M is the guy who practices what they are good at.

Only do what you are good at.

Live up to your expectations and not that of others.

Don't procrastinate on the past.

Have self discipline and above all don't worry if things turn out for the worst.

In Australia you can always get food, water, free clothing and a roof over your head.

Go for it!
