"Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do with what happens to you." Aldous Huxley
A baby Elephant is trained at birth to be confined to a very small space. Its trainer will tie its legs to a rope planted deep in the ground. Initially, the Elephant will try to break the rope, the rope is too strong and after series of trial at different times to free but situation proves difficult, the Elephant learns to live within the area determined by the length of the rope. It is surprising to know that when the Elephant grows into a 5 ton colossus that could easily break the rope, it doesn't even try because at birth, it could not and has consolidated that myth that reduces its capacity to explore a large land mass. In this way, the largest Elephant can be confined to the puniest little rope. This confinement obviously was born of prevailing circumstances "beyond" the control of the subject in focus. The subject in focus here is "You" because on a daily bases we are faced with circumstances and situations that either tend to overpower us or we do not have control over them and "cannot do anything about them as we say most of the time". There is no problem or situation that is strange to mankind as we have the ability to make the right choices even in the midst of prevailing circumstances that seem dominate the atmosphere. But the questions are these; Do you have a choice to make in all these? Are there other options to choose from apart from the one that dampens your core values as an individual or organization? Have you thought of the futuristic impact of that choice? Even if you can live with it, is it in sync with the values you expect folks around you to manifest?
It is however amazing to know how people have become so comfortable with the average life when they have the capacity to live and experience untold fulfillment in every area of life.
This ability is given to every person and is backed up with enough human, intellectual, spiritual, psychological, emotional, abilities to explore the world, touch lives significantly and experience fulfillment.
The essence of life is to live irresistibly, love irresistibly, lead irresistibly, and experience complete satisfaction while fulfilling destiny. The life of joy and victory has never been determined by circumstances, but by complete awareness of available internal and external resources made available by the Supreme Being, discovering your niche in one of the pillars of influence and having the courage to become solution provider. The tendency to desire high level successful in life is seen in so many people, but the courage to consistently follow through the principles that give birth to this untold success is not easily imbibed. So many questions have been asked as to why in every society, the rich will always have the companies and every other person working for them, why there are no equal opportunities given to everyone, why people do not see the same things, and why people produce different levels of excellence. In my discovery, I found out that this disparity in opportunities and results is simply an effect of personal choice. This choice however is born of a re-oriented mindset, attitude and choice of personal life perception. This brings us to one of the most significant topics in this life re engineering material.
Lelook at some traits common among successful people. The essence of this mental exercise is to be aware of traits that have produced outstanding results. In as much as these traits are unique and born out of nice combination of discipline that makes them uncommon, they are harness-able at the same time depending on how relevant you will see them and also how they will influence you.
