Illusion of control

Many have the illusion of control and want things to happen just the way they want it thus they are unable to accept the the inevitable change. Neither passage time stops nor the change it brings along the way. When we can accpet the time why can we accpe the change. We have to let go our illusion of control and welcome the change and feel happy.

why do postive thoughts become a reality.

I had a very interesting talk with my dad the other day. It was reading the power of positive thought. We might have heard many a times that positive thoughts becomes reality. If we want something to happen and if we think positively about that it will happen. Why is it true. My dad and I had a long conversation about it but I decided to summarize it.
If we want something to happen. Obviously we will do some work to get that. By thinking positively about that goal to be achieved we will develop a positive attitude towards that goal. So out approach would be positive as well. All the actions we take to get the thing done will be steering us towards the achievement of the goal. If we face any obstacles we will not be discouraged by these. All our deeds will be geared to get the thing done. But what if we have a doubt in mind. Every little obstacle is seen ten times what it actually is and we tend to lose confidence with every little trouble we had to face overcoming the obstacles. So postive thoughts leads to positve attitude and with this attitde we can get anything done and a doubt will slow things alot.

Lack of self-confidence is the root of all evils.

I have always imagined myself to be rich and successful. It was a dream but I knew that there was something missing piece in my path to achieve my dream.
To have a Big success one has to be ready to lose everything which they posses. Unless a person is not attached to what they have they cannot make that bold steps which are required. If a person is attached to his current possessions (men or money). He is takes safe steps to preserve them. The root cause of fear is not having the self confidence that they can be successful if they take the new path.
Suppose you are a traveller. You are faced with two paths, One path is what you know and the other is not untrodden. The former path you know you would be as you are and may be you will hit a bonanza by chance. There is this mysterious path, which has high uncertanity of leading to riches its either a hit or miss, a chance of being a prince or pauper. If one has confidence on his abilities that he can rebuild he will not be afraid to take the new path and choose to be who he is or may be by a lot of hard work be a little better. Here is the bottom line Confidence is the key to success. Beware of the thin line between self-confidence and over confidence. Aspointed in my previous posts fear and desire take over people and drive to every day labor. I now realise that self confidence is a remedy to cure the disease of fear.
