We have all had the experience of having unfortunate
or unhappy things happen to us in our lives. And then later in retrospect, we
look back and we say, “Boy wasn’t it fortunate that, that happened at that
time.” Because if that hadn’t happened, this wouldn’t of happened, and this
wouldn’t of happened. And we wouldn’t have arrived here which is where we
wanted to end up in the first place. Have you had that experience, it’s a very
normal experience that we look back in retrospect and unfortunate occurrences
and say boy it was lucky that happened, because if it hadn’t happened, I
wouldn’t have achieved the happiness or the success that I have achieved today.
Hindsight is such a wonderful insight.
It was Bob
Proctor that said; “I could only connect all the dots in hindsight.”
On the David
Susskind Show a few years ago, they had four young men who had earned a
million dollars before the age of 35. And in talking to these young men, they
asked them how many different careers or businesses they had been in before they
had reached the business that enabled them to become financially independent at
a young age. And it turned out that they had each been in an average of 18
business before they reached the one that enabled them to be financially
successful.
Now the logical question is this, did they fail in 17
business because that’s what happened, they went in and out of 17 business or
careers before they found the 18th one. What was the purpose of each
of those 17 business on average, wasn’t it to teach them the essential lessons
that they had to learn if they wanted to become millionaires in their mid
thirties.
Of course but the difference between winners and losers is simply
this, winners expect and believe absolutely that they are fated and destined to
be successful, and that every single thing that happens between where they
start and their ultimate success is either a step forward or a valuable lesson
that has been sent to them to teach them something that will enable them to be
ultimately successful. The losers set off with sometimes high goals and high
ambitions but whenever they reach disappointment and setbacks they quit, or
they deviate, or they scrap their goals or they settle for something far less.
Winners
take every single challenge, every single hurdle, every single difficulty, and
say alright this has been sent to teach me something really valuable this is
part of the process that prepares me and equips me for achieving my ultimate
goal so what can I learn from it? And that’s the distinct difference.
If you absolutely believe that you are fated to be
successful then just simply confidently expect that every single thing that
happens to you is happening to you for your benefit. It is up to you to find
the benefit that’s hidden within it. Gratitude and appreciation for all things,
will get you there. And again Napoleon Hill who calls the SuperConscious mind
the Infinite Intelligence in his writings, simply said that; “Within every set
back or obstacle or disadvantage there is the seed of an equal or opposite or
greater advantage or benefit, and that the successful man or women always looks
for the advantage or benefit in every situation, and low and behold they always
find it.”
Because as long as you’re
looking past the obstacle, for the benefit, you cannot be seen to be worrying
about the current negative event or the setback.
- The next
characteristic of the SuperConscious mind which is terribly important to
us is that it makes all of our words and actions and their effects fit a pattern
consistent with our own concepts, with our current programming, and with
the goals that we are trying to accomplish.
- What
this means is that when we have a very clear idea of what it is we want to
achieve, especially in a social or business situation, the SuperConscious
mind will make everything that we say and everything that we do exactly
appropriate to what we are trying to accomplish.
Flip Wilson used to say when you’re hot your hot, and
when your not your not. And we've all had the experience of being in a
situation where we simply couldn't say or do the wrong thing. It seemed that
everything that came out of our mouth, or everything that we did was exactly
right for the situation and it felt perfect, it flowed naturally and it was all
in complete harmony with the goal or the objective that we wished to obtain.
We
have all had that experience and physiologist’s have a great difficulty dealing
with this idea of SuperConscious creativity, because it cannot be duplicated
in the laboratory. They have two expressions for it one is called serendipity,
serendipity is considered to be the ability to find happy events, to go through
life and find a series of happy coincidences that occur to one. And another
expression that they use is what is called synchronicity.
When several events
conspire together seemingly totally unrelated and yet when they meet together,
they form a pattern or bring us the result or a solution that we were looking
for. And we have all had the occasion where a whole series of things seem to
conspire together into a happy coincidence.
Where a series of events conspire together to bring us
the goal, to bring us the solution, to bring us the thing we are looking for. This
synchronicity or serendipity series of events is simply another function of the Conscious Mind, programming Subconscious mind, to activate SuperConscious mind leverage.
