Some food for thought.

There was this robbery in Guangzhou, the robber shouted to everyone: “All don’t move, money belongs to the state, life belongs to you.” Everyone in the bank laid down quietly.

This is called “Mind Changing Concept –> Changing the conventional way of thinking.”

Someone passed me this, I thought it was good.

When the robbers got back, the younger robber (MBA trained) told the older robber (who is only primary school educated), “Big bro, let’s count how much we got”, the older robber rebutted and said, “You very stupid, so much money, how to count, tonight TV will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!”

This is called “Experience –> nowadays experience is more important than paper qualifications!”

After the robbers left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. The supervisor says “Wait, wait wait, let’s put the 5 million RMB we embezzled into the amount the robbers robbed”.

This is called “Swim with the tide –> converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!”

The supervisor says “It will be good if there is a robbery every month”.

This is called “Killing Boredom –> Happiness is most important.”

The next day, TV news reported that 100 million RMB was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count 20 million RMB. The robbers were very angry and complained “We risked our lives and only took 20 million RMB, the bank manager took 80 million RMB with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated to be a thief!”

This is called “Knowledge is worth as much as gold !”

The bank manager was smiling and happy because his loss in the CINOPEC shares are now covered by this robbery.

This is called “Seizing the opportunity –> daring to take risks!”

“Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank. Give a man a bank and he can rob the world.”

Someday, Maybe

I heard this on an audio several years ago that someone emailed to me. I wish I could give credit to the author, but I don’t know who it was. I eventually wrote it down, printed it up and put it in a location where I would see it from time to time. I did change a few minor words to broaden the audience of this message, I hope if I ever find the author to thank him for providing his thoughts. I added a powerful thought that Obi-Wan Kenobi has in the novel Revenge of the Sith. – Gabriel Cruz (aka Cruzzer)

__________________________________________________________________________________________

“Why is MEANINGLESS; it is an echo of the past, or a whisper of the future. All that matters, for the INFINITE NOW, is what, and where, and who.” – Obiwan Kenobi’s thoughts in the novel, ‘Revenge of The Sith‘ (pg. 120)

So I get the sense that working with a lot of people; that a lot people are waiting for SOMETHING. They are waiting for something to happen; they are waiting for something to change. They are waiting for something to be different. They are waiting for sometime in the future when everything will be better. They are thinking someday, maybe I will feel different. They are thinking, maybe someday I will have all the knowledge I need.

They are thinking, they will be someday, maybe, Someday, they will be whatever it is. What that actually is, is a way to deny yourself. It comes from a disapproval habit. If only I knew enough, if only I weighed less, if only I was better looking. The curious thing about it is that IT NEVER COMES. There is NO SUCH thing as SOMEDAY. SOMEDAY DOES NOT EXIST. The only thing that exists is right NOW.

So all the changes you have to make are right at the moment, right then, or right now. You have to face the possibility that those things will never change. You may not ever feel different; you may never feel that you have enough knowledge or good enough.

What if it never changed? What if you always felt like you always feel now? Oh, that would suck…

What you are actually doing is, you are actually denying yourself; you are fragmenting yourself. You are putting the best parts of yourself out somewhere that does not exist. Everything that you need, you already have. For the most parts, it’s decisions.

If you decided if you are going to California, or New York, or wherever, L.A, Miami, You just get up in the car and go, and if the car breaks down, then you start walking, you start hitchhiking. Call somebody, call a friend that already has a car, get your car fixed and get in and go.

Break yourself of the habit of someday, maybe, break yourself of the habit that is connected to disapproval. Break yourself to the day that someday, maybe it will be all better than you will get what you want. That right there is a huge wreck. That right there is costing your life’s worth!

You are denying yourself things you want, because you are putting this dream SOMEWHERE or SOMEDAY, FUTURE that maybe is never going to come. It has to be taken right now, it has to be taken by the decision that you are going to do it, and you are going to do it, no matter how you feel, even though you think you have many disadvantages, you are going to do it even though you think you don’t know enough.

The curious thing that happens is once you decide, you get access to those things, but you never get access to them when you keep them in some mental distant future that doesn’t exist. That’s just keeping them away from yourself.

So right now ask yourself mentally, can I let go of disapproving of myself. It’s a decision. It is a decision that you can say YES TOO.

So could you let go right now of disapproving of yourself? Could you let go of thinking you are not good enough for her or him. Could you let go of thought, all thoughts are limitations, even positives ones, could you let go of the thought that you don’t know enough? That you don’t look the right away physically? Can you let go of that thought?

Could you let go of that habit of thought of putting that someday maybe future that does not exist?

Could you decide that the thing you want to do, or be or accomplish, Can you decide you are going to do it, even if though you don’t feel like you think you should feel, or you don’t think you have things you should have?

Make it Count!
