We’ve all probably been in this situation before.

We didn’t think that we can do something but when told that it’s real easy, hey presto, we too can do it.

It can be something as simple as unscrewing the cap of a bottle. We all know how tight these things can be. Sometimes we will try to unscrew the thing to the point were we are red in the face but it just wouldn’t budge. But when we see that somebody else can easily do it (sometimes these people are not necessarily bigger or stronger than us), we find that we can do it too.

What’s the difference?

It’s because when we were handed the bottle the first time, we were usually told that the cap is tight or it’s stuck, so we too believe that it’s going to take a lot of effort to unscrew it and we just don’t have it in us. But when somebody else succeed where we failed, we immediately see that it is possible.

Whatever we do, if we believe that it can be done, we can accomplish anything and achieve success.

You’ll be amazed at what can happen when you believe in your abilities. An example is the man who lost his ability to walk after an accident. But if he believes that he will be able to walk again, it is possible. It might take time and many hours of physiological therapy, but as long as he believes in his ability, he will walk again.

Isn’t that what happens to our life most of the time?

There are people who want salary raise but don’t believe that they deserve it so they never got it.

There are people who want to start a business but don’t believe they have the capability so they failed.

There are people who want to win but don’t believe they could be the winner so they lost.

When you have the right belief system, you’ll succeed simply because you know it is POSSIBLE for you to be successful. Most of the time, the hardest part of becoming successful is to convince your own self of the possibility, not others. It is YOU who decide whether you want to achieve your goal or not and when you set your mind to it, nothing’s going to stop you.

Everything else is just background noise that can be tuned out.

Isn’t that interesting? All it takes is a shift in our believe system.

Living blissfully means to live happily and blissfully.  Many masters and gurus learned to revert to their original state of bliss.  It’s natural for humans to be happy and stress free, but unfortunately many of us have become prisoner of the mind and of our thoughts.  The key to blissfulness is to release the chains attached to the mind and to stop connecting thoughts.

The natural state of the mind is to think.  It forms unrelated and independent thoughts. As soon as one thought enters, it leaves and is quickly replaced by another.  To prove this, sit for ten minutes and observe your thoughts. Quickly write down each thought as it enters.  When you’re done, look over the list. You’ll discover you’ve written down unrelated and independent thoughts.  One second you’re thinking about dinner, the next you’re remembering what your friend said, and the next you’re worrying about work.  One thought has nothing to do with the other.

Our problems begin when we connect these unrelated thoughts into what we believe to be a truth.  Thoughts are not concrete.  When you realize this, your emotions will no longer be at the mercy of your thoughts.  When you connect many happy thoughts, you’re in a good mood until you begin connecting upsetting thoughts.  Your mood then becomes sour and filled with worry.

Incidents in our lives are as unrelated as thoughts. If during different moments in your life different people complimented you on your drawing ability, you’ll believe that you are a talented artist!  Once somebody else insults your work, your ego will become bruised and you’ll doubt your skill.  We’re constantly connecting independent incidents and thoughts which create a roller coaster of emotion.

To live blissfully, live presently and stop connecting thoughts.  It may take some practice since you’ve become in the habit of connecting thoughts. Now you must train yourself to break that habit and live in the moment.  Allow your thoughts to enter your mind and leave freely and naturally.  When you realize you’re connecting two thoughts, stop yourself. It’s well worth the practice and patience it takes to master this skill.

Find the guidance you need as you travel along your spiritual journey and create a more loving and healthy life.
