The Life That Works

Be calm. Be calm and not shocked about anything, and you will handle it better. I know of whence I write about. For, reality for even the most "lucky" of us has its troublesome moments that cause at least a little bit of worry when not dealt with calmly and effectively.

I know, I start with two words that escape most people in an emergency, but it is the best advice I can give. Especially when it comes to dealing with the expected and unexpected troubles, especially the unexpected troubles, which is what this article is mostly about. Thinking about my life, it has been an obstacle course, but I take full responsibility for creating that course past, present and future so that I can grow well. That is the secret to my calmness, my own personal responsibility to myself to do my best to be calm, whatever the "shocking circumstance".

Thinking about shocking circumstances, I can only give these tips though, and the first three tips I have could be the best:



Be calm, even if the world seems to be falling apart at the seams. For there is always tomorrow in existence, as existence exists however it may turn.

Time is the great healer. Nothing is impossible with the passage of time, really. Look at The Bible of Nature or existence itself through the ages how it goes on with or without us objectively.

There are always possibilities. However we may look at things, there are always possibilities in the most objective of realities, like airplane flight was "impossible" before the early twentieth century and many things were "impossible to do", there is always a reasonable reality that can accommodate the "impossible to deal with".

In reality, the "impossible" is something we can deal with, but within the bounds of finding a reasonable way to deal with it.

Possibility thinking and working with yourself until you achieve what you genuinely want is a natural way to deal with things anyway. Where there is a will, there is ultimately a way.

Sure, I could do more tips, but the fifth tip is really as good as it gets from me, because when the "impossible" is ultimately actualized, it is a natural and valuable fact like the telephone and the light bulb. Think about it and then understand that possibility is reality, and impossibility is the genuine fantasy.

"In every adversity lies the seed of an equal or greater opportunity."

Napoleon Hill

Think about that reality for a moment. I will not say that it is a fact because we have to admit that reality in first for it to be a fact and then act on it rationally for it to be a fact. But, when it is a fact in our consciousness, it is a potent fact. After all, why do you think there are great monuments to those who genuinely overcome adversity? Why do you think the real winners are those who "beat the odds from scratch"?

Only you or I can answer those questions definitively for ourselves. There are not any answers in this article, just advice on how to deal with it all. Only you (or I) can make it work as an answer within existence.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
