Birds of the Same Feather

"Birds of the same feather, flock together."

        If you want to be rich, associate yourself with rich people. If you want to be poor, mingle with the poor all day long. Keep yourself inspired with the right company. Surround yourself in the circles of happy folks. Share your stories with them, be inspired by them. In due time you will find that more and more people like yourself are standing by you. A total change in attitude, a new perspective unfolds, a new horizon awakens. Then you can see it more clearly, a brighter world within your eyes. Then you find that more and more positive people are attracted to you. No, you do not abandon your negative folks, you just attract more of the opposite. Surround yourself with negative people, share their thoughts, grumble with them, sympathize with their complaints. "This is to blame, that has this fault, it is because of them, of them, of them!" In no time you would be just like them, cursing everybody for the misfortunes you had, and more coming ahead in the future!

Believe

"Man often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it in the beginning."                                                                    - Mohandas Ghandi

Whatever you do, you do it because you can. What you are afraid to do, (start a business, get healthy, be successful, forgive others, find love, preserve love) you are afraid because you believe it is not doable. It all starts from believing. When you believe, then you'll realize that you can do everything.

The Best Way to Learn Something

                One thing I have learned in life: "The Best way to learn something is to teach it to others." Sounds funny? How can you teach something you are not yet sure you know? At first I am also confused. And in the real world it seems the opposite, right? Yes, in a certain point of view. But on another vantage point it does have some sense. When you teach to someone something new, like new beliefs or values, you are also forcing the neurons of your brain to make that same connection as the ones' you were teaching. You "Force" yourself and even "Fool" yourself that you are already a Master in that subject matter. And as the old saying (new saying) goes- "Do something for 21 days and you already form a habit."
