One day, there was a wise teacher with his students walking home to their temple. On the way home, they met a woman who was falling down and could not stand up. They then immediately reached her to see her condition. One of her legs was injured and it was hard for her to walk home. The only way to help her was carrying her on the back. Fortunately, her home was not far from here. After thinking awhile, the teacher then brought her home by carrying her on his back.

On the journey, one of his students was so disappointed by his teacher’s action. He was frequently warned by the teacher that it was strictly prohibited to touch a woman. But that day, he had done that and broke his own rule.

Two days after that incident, the student still put a hard thought about that all the time and still did not find the answer why his teacher did that. Until one day, he decided to meet and asked his teacher. He asked, “Teacher, you always tell me before that we are not allowed to touch a woman. Why did you do that two days ago when you brought the woman to her home? I need your clear explanation.”

Then the teacher was thinking for a moment before giving his answer. Then he said, “Yes, it is not allowed to touch a woman. But if I did not help her, who else could give a help? And the most important thing is that I have no longer thought about it soon after she was home. However, you thought about it for days. You give a negative thinking about me. You think that I steal the opportunity to touch the woman. I admit that I touched her, but I thought nothing that day. And you thought negatively about my action.”

Then he apologized for his mistake of judging his teacher in a negative way.

Message for readers:

The conclusion of the story above is that negative thinking will give you nothing. There is no benefit you can attain by having this negative thinking. Often we always and many times fill our mind with something negative that can endanger us. If you always put effort on negative thinking, the negative things will come to you because you focus on them. It will make you worry and feel more negative feeling. The more you think in negative way, the more negative you will be.

Look at my article amazing effects of positive thinking to have good wisdom about positive thinking. It is better and gives you more benefits by thinking in a positive way.

One of many ways to remove your negative thinking and increase your positive thinking is by changing the negative into positive thinking. Every time when you think and feel in negative way, you can change it into positive one.

Negative : everything is getting worse.
Positive : everything will be OK.

Negative : my friend breaks his promise to come to my house. He is late.
Positive : perhaps he is late because he is trapped in heavy traffic jam. He will come.

Negative : I cannot do that.
Positive : I can do that. It is easy for me.

Remember that positive thinking produces positive results and negative thinking produces negative results.

One day, a king held a contest which the winner of it would receive the luxurious house as the grand prize. The conditions of the contest were quite difficult for everyone to attend. The first condition was that everyone who wanted to attend this contest must had a goat and the second and yet most difficult condition was that the goat must at least had as long horns as arm. This condition made all of the people who wanted to attend this contest feel skeptic. They wondered how and where they could find those goats. They believed that the horn of a goat was not that long.

But there was a man who determined not to waste that golden opportunity. He believed that there must be a way to find a goat that complied with the conditions of the contest. He kept on thinking and rolling his mind to find the way. After several days, he found a genius idea that he believed it could make him the winner of the contest.

The day of the contest came. However, nobody could find the goat. They said that it was impossible to find the goat that had horns that was as long as arm. But the man came to the contest with his goat and a baby. The goat he brought to the contest did not have long horns. The goat had normal horns length as well as other goats. All of the people began to laugh and tell him that he would not win the contest. Then the king asked the man why he brought that goat and why he believed that he could win the contest.

Then the man answered, “Looked at the goat’s horn and then compare it to the baby’s arm. The goat’s horn is longer that the baby’s arm. The king said before that the goat must have as long horns as arm. But you did not say exactly whose arm it was. It means that baby’s arm is OK. That’s all my explanation.” Then the king said, “Very good. That is wise and smart answer. You deserve to be the winner and win the house that I promised.”

Every person can interpret and see something from different point of view. Let’s take an example of a question: what do you do if you have tried many times but you still fail in achieving your goals? The answers of the question will vary depending on the person. One will probably said that he will keep on trying until he succeed, another probably said that he will give up, another probably said that he will asked someone who has been successful how to do that, another said that it is just wasting time to do something that is hard to achieve and many more. All of the answers are correct. Once again, it depends on how a person sees something that is happening and what action he is going to take towards it. If you ask 10 persons, 10 of them will give you 10 different answers, do 10 different actions and give 10 different interpretations. 10 persons behave differently and uniquely towards one same event.

Remember the story above, everyone assumed that there was no goat that had as long horns as arm. They all thought that the arm must be the arm of an adult. They didn’t change their point of view. Don’t be static about something that is happening to you. You can change where you want to view. There are many ways to see something that is happening. If you think that you always see something in a negative way, you can now easily change it and begin to see something in a positive way.

There were a group of birds playing in the field. Everyday, they were there to play and gather. Until one day, they saw an eagle soared and flew on the sky. Then the birds were so amazed with the eagle. They stood quietly like the statues watching the flying eagle. They wanted to be like the eagle too, to fly high on the sky. But they didn’t know how to do that. Day after day, they saw the eagle almost everyday flying above them. Because of their willingness to be able to fly, they agreed to take a journey to find and meet the eagle at one peak of mountain.

Then they did the journey to find the eagle to teach them how to fly on the sky. The journey took several days, and they kept on walking and climbing up to reach the peak where the eagle lived. And their hard effort gave them the result they expected. They could finally find and asked the eagle to teach them to fly. And the eagle was ready and agreed to train them. All of the birds were very happy because they would fly soon.

The training took several days. The eagle taught them whatever in order to be able to fly. After they were trained by the eagle, they could finally fly on the sky. They all were too happy. They would no longer walk, they could fly to any places they liked. They then thanked the eagle for teaching them flying. Then the eagle flew to go somewhere. However the birds went home by walking down the mountain happily. They didn’t use their flying ability.

Many people have learned and mastered self improvement or success tips and techniques. However they do not use their ability for their benefits. They let their ability or knowledge to be unused like the documents being filed in a strongbox, locked, and never be opened again. They are back to their old habits doing the same old things. Knowing much about something will not make changes to you. It is not enough for you to only know and remember something. Only by using, applying and implementing your knowledge that you have learned will make huge and significant effect to your life and success. No action, nothing happens. But when you take action, miracle happens.

Don’t be trapped by your old habits, especially if they are destructive and negative. It will surely make very long distance between you and your success. You must discipline yourself to break your bad habits or you will be ruled by them. Success is created by doing good habits or success habits. There are many ways to break and replace your old habits. And the important keys here are DISCIPLINE and PERSISTENCE. Without them, you will be easy to fall in the temptation of getting back to your old habits. The more often you develop your new habits, the better the chances your old habits to be replaced by the new ones.

There are 5 steps for creating new habits.

1. Once you do your habits, don’t make any exception to delay or even cancel that until your new habits turn to be automatic.
2. Tell everyone about your commitment. By doing this, you will be more responsible with what you have said.
3. Using affirmation. Please see my article the power of faith and advance affirmation to have good understanding about affirmation and how to use that.
4. Using visualization. Visualize as if you have succeeded and see yourself doing the new habits.
5. Never give up. Whatever happens, don’t you ever give up until your new habits become your part.

Once again your discipline and persistence will determine your success or your failure in breaking your old bad habits and creating your new success-oriented habits.
