<p>If you want to be happy tomorrow you need to begin working at it today. Some people spend their lives waiting for happiness to arrive on its own and it never comes. Others work hard at creating wealth but still aren’t happy, discovering that money only brings a whole different set of problems. Happiness is a state of mind and not the size of your bank account. Happiness is emotional and not physical. Each individual needs to work at creating their own happiness.</p>
<p>To find happiness you first have to understand where happiness comes from. Memories are to the mind what a mirror is to the eyes &#8211; a reflection. The mirror reflects the physical while our memories reflect the emotional. When you look in the mirror it reflects what you look like; when you look in your mind it reflects who you are. One big difference between the two is that you can change what you see in the mirror but you can’t change the memories reflected in your mind.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.richardmacalintal.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/happiness-begins-today.jpg"><img src="http://www.richardmacalintal.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/happiness-begins-today.jpg" alt="happiness for tomorrow begins today" title="happiness-begins-today" width="456" height="305" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-462" /></a></p>
<p>We tend to spend a lot of time trying to improve what we see in the mirror, but little or no effort trying to improve our thoughts. Every action creates a memory. Do you really think that the person who is bitter and angry today was happy and cheerful yesterday? If a person says or does something which angers or upsets us, we can either add to the painful memory with our own negative actions or we can replace them with positive actions and create positive memories.</p>
<p>If you want to be happy tomorrow you must choose carefully what you do today, because today’s actions will be reflected in tomorrow’s memories and you cannot make them go away. Everything you do today will be in tomorrow’s reflection. The next time a person angers you, instead of lashing out, try imagining that you are holding up a mirror that bounces the reflection back at him, knowing that his actions or words are a reflection of him and not of you.</p>
<p>We all want to like what we see in the mirror. To be truly happy we also have to like what we see reflected in our minds. What the mirror reflects is not nearly as powerful as what the mind reflects, for it reflects our words and actions.</p>
<p>What will your reflections be filled with? Will your reflections/memories be filled with goodness and joy or with bitterness and anger? What have you done today that will bring you happiness tomorrow?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most people in our culture today are so busy running around trying to arrange their lives to be somewhere else. We all want to be somewhere else geographically or financially or in our relationships. We want to be anywhere but here as we&#8217;ve been led to believe that if only we can be somewhere else then our lives would work. This escapism acts like a drug that only gives temporary relief to a chronic problem.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.richardmacalintal.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/there-is-no-place-like-now.jpg"><img src="http://www.richardmacalintal.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/there-is-no-place-like-now.jpg" alt="there is now place like now" title="there-is-no-place-like-now" width="259" height="194" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-390" /></a></p>
<p>Apart from wanting to be somewhere else, most people today also live by a philosophy of &#8220;some day&#8221; that allows them to manipulate time. &#8220;I can do it, but just not today. I&#8217;ll do it when…&#8221; and they use these excuses to stay in their comfort zones. The problem is that both someday and somewhere are undefined and illusionary. Somewhere does not exist and someday never comes, although you keep hoping that it does. This can be very disempowering and is responsible for a lot of disappointment and frustration for a lot of people.  </p>
<p>The truth, however, is that right now is all you&#8217;ve really got. Tomorrow is never promised to you and learning to fully live in and for the moment is a vital distinction to make in creating a great life. Being grateful does not mean that you loose your drive or purpose, but allows you to slow down and really enjoy the ride. Not only is it healthy to want more from life, but it is also required to be truly fulfilled and knowing where you are is critical in getting where you want to be. Using someday as an excuse to soften your problems will not create long term success and fulfillment. Be honest with yourself and stop making excuses only to make yourself feel better. A little pain can be very useful as it will at least move you to action. There is always something you can do right now to turn your ideas into reality. There is always one small step you can take.</p>
<p>One of the most powerful resources you have is resourcefulness. This means that right now you have all that you need to achieve whatever you desire and that you have the ability to take action with exactly what you&#8217;ve got and exactly where you are. You do not have to wait for &#8220;some day when&#8221; or &#8220;when I am&#8230;&#8221; before you take action on your dreams and goals. The smallest idea acted upon can make all the difference as it immediately makes your idea real and smothers someday because you used your will to consciously take charge. </p>
<p>It is important to realize that the purpose of pursuing a goal or a dream is not just in achieving it but even more so in the experience of achieving it. You do not travel for the purpose of reaching a destination but for the purpose of traveling. Whatever dream or goal you are pursuing you will probably spend more time in pursuit of it than actually achieving it and most goals are an anti climax when you actually achieve them anyway. The process is where the true fulfillment comes from and the actual experience is what makes you become something instead of accumulating something. If you can&#8217;t be happy and grateful without your goal then changes are that you won&#8217;t be happy and grateful with it.</p>
<p>Live in the present, but know where you are going. Be right here and celebrate and capture the magical moments of your life. Hold on to them as the treasures you get to take with you into your magnificent future. Life is not just lived in the moment but also created in the moment. Now is the best time to design the next ten years of your life. Let your thoughts and knowledge serve you through action.  Action is what eventually determines you destiny. Move confidently in the direction of your choosing and don&#8217;t get seduced by the popular belief that some day things will come your way or some day your luck will change. You are the source and the creator of your own prosperity and it all starts with a sense of immense gratitude for everything you already have exactly where you are right now. One of the greatest privileges you have in life is that you can start right now with exactly what you’ve got to create anything you desire as the ultimate resources to life are within you.</p>
<p>Living in a place called somewhere really won&#8217;t serve you long term although it might feel good as a short term escape or excuse. Having to consistently lie to yourself that you will act on your true desires some day when x, y or z is just right will only create an unnecessary burden. When you turn your &#8220;some day&#8221; philosophy into a &#8220;same day&#8221; philosophy you can start to adopt the mindset where you take action on your ideas immediately with exactly what you&#8217;ve got and exactly where you are. </p>
<p>What someday and somewhere really comes down to is that you falsely admit to yourself that what you need is not available to you. This creates a belief that you are not in control of your life but that you are waiting for something else somewhere else before you can take charge. Ironically, you will only get full access to your true resources when you take action exactly where you are with exactly what you&#8217;ve got, despite your excuses. True happiness and gratitude never relies on external conditions but is purely determined by your evaluation of where you are now. Now contains the seed of the rest of your life. Plant it with joy and water it with gratitude and rejoice in your life for you are its creator.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When our work life is demanding, setting priorities at home can be difficult. We may find ourselves struggling between what we want to do, versus what we really should be doing. Or, we fall into procrastinating when the pressure&#8217;s off, and things just never get done. Whatever our individual challenges, to set effective priorities and stick to them, we need to first have a clear understanding of what matters most in our life.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.richardmacalintal.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/know-what-matters-in-life.jpg"><img src="http://www.richardmacalintal.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/know-what-matters-in-life.jpg" alt="know what matters most in life" title="know-what-matters-in-life" width="274" height="184" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-382" /></a></p>
<p>You may recall a story about a seminar presenter who placed a wide mouth gallon jar on the stage. He filled it to the top with some large stones and asked the audience if it was full. To which they answered, &#8220;Yes!&#8221; Then the presenter added a handful of smaller rocks to the container. As the audience watched the smaller rocks fill the vacant space between the large stones, he asked the same question, &#8220;Is the jar full?&#8221; Catching on, the people responded, &#8220;No.&#8221; Next he added some sand, followed by water, until the entire volume of the jar was completely full.</p>
<p>I like this illustration for a couple reasons. First, it demonstrates that by making room for the large stones first, the smaller rocks, sand and water eventually work their way into space surrounding the larger stones. The order in which the contents are added to the jar is essential for everything to fit. In the same way, it becomes clear that ours lives will also benefit by first making space for the significant things, before taking care of the rest.</p>
<p>The other thing I like about the illustration is that it reveals the importance of knowing which things in our life represent the large stones. Setting priorities involves separating the things that matter most, from the things that don&#8217;t. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s essential for us to be clear on what we value and what&#8217;s important to us, so we can make them our top priority.</p>
<p>When&#8217;s the last time you really thought about what matters most in your life &#8211; at home and at work? Maybe now is a good time to ponder some of these questions. What or who is most important in your life? Which goals are most meaningful? Which relationships hold the most significance for you? Does your family come first over advancement in your career? Is achieving success a top priority? How do you see your future and who will be part of it?</p>
<p>As you identify who and what represent the large stones in your life, your priorities will become clear and decisions will be easier. Our choices ultimately become part of our destiny. When we know what&#8217;s important in our life, our effort  and our energy begin to converge in a direction that leads to more fulfilling and purposeful living.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People talk more and more about success, how to succeed in a particular area, how to get financial freedom, how to have a perfect health and many others. Guess what? Every day there are tens and hundreds of books, ebooks, audio tapes, newspapers, magazines, practical advice on how to do all these things in a short time. You hear stuff like: I can teach you how to make 5,000 euros a month if you follow 7 easy steps, you can double your business results in just two weeks, you can cure the disease x in three months if you buy my product etc. It seems like there is a solution for every problem we face. I&#8217;m sure this is true but I noticed one thing: when people have a problem they try to do certain things,they are looking for tricks, shortcuts in order to get the results they want. If they want to be rich, many people try to do something fast, they are gambling or they are looking for a quick transaction to get rick overnight. Everybody who just tries to do something they fail, they give up and start to blame anything else but them, to find all sorts of excuses: the weight loss product x it&#8217;s crap, the business y is a bluff,they just wanted to take my money. After this it begins the disappointment,the shame of being a loser, the guilt and thoughts like this appear immediately: I&#8217;m no good for anything, I will fail again, I&#8217;m not the right environment to succeed etc..</p>
<p>It seems that all these people (including myself I have gone through this) have forgotten one simple thing:if you don&#8217;t have a proper mindset, you try in vain to do something,if you want to get rich and you think of the failure,you refuse to take responsibility and to become a person ready to succeed,it&#8217;s in vain, you won&#8217;t get rich</p>
<p>Everything is based on a simple scheme: YOU BECOME-YOU ACT-YOU HAVE WHAT YOU WANT</p>
<p>So it&#8217;s essential the way you think, your ATTITUDE about life.</p>
<p>Your attitude is the filter of your existence. Why do I say this? Easy: because if you think like a loser, as if you have lost already, as if everything is conspiring against you, if you give up and you don&#8217;t try new things, all the external circumstances align to this way of thinking. So you act wrong and all you get is failures, disappointments and regrets.</p>
<p>On the contrary, if you think in terms of a winner, you will progress very quickly, you will realize that everything is here to assist you to evolve and the results are as you wanted. There are many people who have much knowledge, higher education, a special education and yet their life is a disaster: they always feel frustrated, irritated,they are not paid according to their studies and everything in their life is just a great dissapointment. Nobody and no knowledge or techniques will help you if you believe that you are a victim of life,of the external circumstances, a helpless person. Nothing helped me until I started to change my way of thinking from victim to winner. When I realized that I am responsible for everything that happens to me and that I can create my life exactly the way I want, I gave up the role of the victim, I started to think like a winner and things started to change for the better quickly.</p>
<p>Whoever you are, no matter what studies you have, in what environment you are, what results or skills you have now, this have no importance. Absolutely none! Because you can get much more if you start thinking diffently! Think like a winner! So, attitude is the most important ingredient for success life, in anything in life. Everything starts with a simple choice: what am I? a winner or a loser, a victim? You can choose between: being a winner, getting up every time you fail, with even more strength, energy and enthusiasm, learning from mistakes and evolving or being a loser: a victim, a person who is discouraged by their friends,by a loss,by a fall or by a breeze. I know what you can you tell me: you have no idea what you&#8217;re talking about, you don&#8217;t know what I went through,what difficulties I have, I don&#8217;t have anybody who can help me start a business,I don&#8217;t have money, I have nobody to support me!</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know your problems, but I know there are people who have been through worse situations and that they faced many obstacles but who always passed throught them with optimism, smiling, and became wiser and more determined to succed. An example I can always give to anyone is that of Nick Vujicic who has no hands and feet but despite all these he is a happy man he always smiles,he makes a lot of things and he travels worldwide motivating and inspiring thousands of people! I know nothing can knock you down so much that you can&#8217;t get up! And the most important thing, there is always a solution to any problem!</p>
<p>So, no matter what you pass throught,the right attitude,the way you see things will help you succeed!</p>
<p>Finally, what you choose to be? A winner or a victim?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you want to know why successful people are able to produce great results in their lives while most people are just getting by? Do you want to learn the principles of success that never fail? If you do, this will be the right article for you. What you are going to discover here are the 3 main reasons most people are not successful in their lives. And if you learn these reasons and the principles within, you will be able to create outstanding results in your life.</p>
<p>A lot of people want to achieve their goals, live their dreams and become successful in life, unfortunately, most of them fail to achieve it because they do not know what are the real keys to success that they are going to need. So below are the 3 main reasons that can help you achieve great success in life&#8230;</p>
<p>1. The first reason that is making most people not successful and are living in mediocrity is that they do not know what they want and they are not thinking about it. Yes, you need to know exactly what you want to achieve in the future and think about it all the time. Successful people always have a clear vision and they think about what they want most of the time. This will help you stay on course and focus on your dreams so that you are able to live your life in the right direction.</p>
<p>2. The second reason is that most people are not passionate with what they do. If you want to be successful, you must have the passion for what you do. Think about it, do you think Michael Jordan is passionate with basketball? What about Bill Gates? Do you think Bill Gates love to play with software? The answer is obvious. Whenever you are passionate in something, you are willing to pour your heart to do it and you are willing to do it with motivation. If you do not have the passion for something, you will give up very soon and you will never do your best.</p>
<p>3. The final reason most people are not achieving what they want is that they are not doing anything about their goals and their dreams. They will tell you that they want to own a business and become a millionaire, but they are not doing anything about it. Successful people know that if you want to get the results, you must take the necessary action. Action produces results. Therefore, if you are not taking any action, you will never create the results that you desire. Thus, make sure you take consistent action each and everyday from now on.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As with any road, you are going to encounter detours and sharp corners. You are going to run into crossroads as well, which can be confusing. At a crossroads, you have four different paths you can choose and you don&#8217;t really know where they lead. You cannot be sure that the road you are choosing is the right one. You can take one of the roads or decide to stay where you are. It is hard to know what the right choice is.</p>
<p>Until you go down a road, you can&#8217;t know where it will go. No one can guarantee you that the road is the right one for you. You have to realize that there are no guarantees in life so even if you make good decisions throughout your whole life, you are not guaranteed to have a happy life. In all situations, you need to realize that you cannot control what happens. You can control your decisions and what you do when things go well or go badly but you cannot control a situation. That is just how life is.</p>
<p>You usually do not realize you made a wrong decision until it has been made. If you knew the decision was a wrong one you would not have made that choice. You would not go down a road that you knew was going to go nowhere, would you? You would not decide on one choice over another if you knew you&#8217;d regret that choice. Once you have made a decision, you can then determine if it was the right one for you or not. You have to live with the consequences of your decisions whether they be good or bad.</p>
<p>All you can do is make a choice and go with it.</p>
<p>Since you have no way of knowing if your decisions are right or not until you have made them, you have to just choose and stick with your decision. Making a choice is better than not making one at all. Even if your choice does not lead to the results you wanted, you have to accept the results. Maybe you can learn from your mistakes and find new opportunities from failure. It is all about how you look at the situation.</p>
<p>You can either spend life traveling and being lost or being an accidental tourist. Make sure you think carefully about your decisions, though, and do not rush into them. Taking risks does not mean not thinking your decisions through and choosing what you think is right. The following tips can help you live your own life and make good choices.</p>
<p>Learn as Much as You Can Before You Make a Decision</p>
<p>You cannot make a wise decision if  you are not informed. You need to ask the five Ws: What, Who, When, Where, and Why. Who else does your decision involve? When did the situation start? Where are you trying to go? Why do you have to make this decision? These are a few of the potential questions you need to ask when you are trying to make a decision. Often people fail to make a decision because they don&#8217;t know enough about the situation.</p>
<p>Figure Out What Your Options Are</p>
<p>Depending on the situation, you can have many or few options. Sometimes it may feel like you really don&#8217;t have any good options at all. If that happens, you need to come up with some options on your own. Get creative and figure out the most basic and the most complex options that could exist. Don&#8217;t ignore any of your ideas until you think them through. Talk your options through with someone you trust. The final decision should be yours and yours alone, though.</p>
<p>Think About the Pros and Cons</p>
<p>Figure out what all the benefits and disadvantages are that could happen with each option. This will help you make the best choice.</p>
<p>Trust That You Can Make a Good Decision</p>
<p>After you have thought through all your options you have to believe in your ability to make a good decision. You cannot guarantee that your choice will work out like you hope so all you can do is trust yourself and believe in your decision. You have to be ready to accept whatever the consequences are of your decision, bad or good.</p>

Read below story about how in certain parts of the world where hunters capture monkeys because the monkeys won’t let go.</p>
<p>There is a small group of hunters that use a monkey’s stubbornness to kill them very easily. What the hunter dos is cut a small hole in a tree, then hollows out the center of the tree a little bigger than the hole. Then they  place a nut inside this hole.</p>
<p>What happens is, a monkey walks up and grabs a hold of the nut inside the hollowed out tree. But now the monkey can’t fit his hand back out of the hole. So the monkey sits there for a little bit trying to pull its hand out of the hole with no luck. Meanwhile, the hunter just walks right up and kills the monkey.</p>
<p>All the monkey had to do was to LET GO to save its life. But it wouldn’t even do that. </p>
<p>In life, there are points in time that this moment will come to us. Instead of wasting our resources and energy figuring out what to do, sometimes it’s better to  LET GO and move on to other things. People sometimes tend to dwell in the past that they overlook the future that is waiting ahead of them.</p>
<p>We are far better than the monkey. All we have to do is LET GO and keep on living our life. Better opportunities and brighter future is ahead of us.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.richardmacalintal.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/thoughts-become-reality.jpg"><img src="http://www.richardmacalintal.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/thoughts-become-reality.jpg" alt="thoughts-become-reality" title="thoughts-become-reality" width="337" height="231" class="alignleft   size-full wp-image-360" /></a>We are where we are, because of our thoughts in the past. Thoughts become things. We consciously or subconsciously always think about something. The problem is that we usually think more about things we don’t want, than about the things we want. It doesn’t matter if we want or don’t want something, we’ll get what we mostly think about.</p>
<p>Try to observe your thoughts for a day or two. Do you mostly think about the things that you worry about, you don’t want them to happen, you are afraid of, or do you mostly think about pleasant and wonderful things?</p>
<p>Your present situation is the result of your predominant state of mind in the past. And you are creating your future now. Your future will be like your predominant state of mind now.</p>
<p>The past is gone. You can’t change it, but if you are dwelling on unhappy past now, you aren’t feeling happy now, and you are creating unhappy future.</p>
<p>Because you’re creating the future now, only the present is important. By having predominantly happy and positive state of mind now, you’re creating your happy and positive future. It’s called the Law of Attraction. You can attract whatever you want in your life: happiness, wealth, perfect health, love and wonderful relationships.</p>
<p>But you can also attract things and situations that you don’t want. Actually we do it sub consciously all the time.</p>
<p>Because you are energy, you are like a magnet;   everything is energy, you, your mind and your body. But you can control your body, and you can also control your mind.</p>
<p>Your mind can be your best friend or your worst enemy. If you don’t control your mind and allow it to dwell on negative thoughts and feelings, it’s your worst enemy, because it creates your unhappy future. If you control your mind, it’s your best friend, because it becomes your best friend which will create your great future. </p>
<p>Of course lives of most of the people are a mixture of happiness and unhappiness because of their flickering states of mind. Now, because of knowing and understanding of the law of attraction you can start creating your happy future and be sure that you’ll get what you want in life.</p>
<p>The Law of Attraction is a broad subject and there’s no space in this short report to explain everything. Fortunately there is now more and more information available on the subject of attraction. </p>
<p>People like Plato, Newton, Carnegie, Beethoven, Shakespeare, Einstein and many others knew the law of attraction and lived according to the law of attraction, but it was a secret for most of the people. Now a lot of people are learning about the secret, the law of attraction and the science of manifestation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><div id="attachment_355" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://www.richardmacalintal.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/facing-our-adversities.jpg"><img src="http://www.richardmacalintal.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/facing-our-adversities.jpg" alt="" title="facing-our-adversities" width="400" height="266" class="size-full wp-image-355" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">facing our adversity</p></div>Is there any person on this earth who has not faced adversity? Life can be good, but adversities are also part of life. How does one face them with equanimity? It is difficult if the extent of adversity is very high. But one has to live through adversities and come back in life to succeed again. A sudden accident can make one lose limbs. A man who makes his living with his hands, will surely feel very bad and devastated if he loses his working hand. How about the effect of the announcement by the doctor that your child has cancer? Can parents take this news calmly? They will most probably faint when they hear it first. Some adversities are such that they shatter lives forever. But strong will and faith can help one face and conquer many adversities.</p>
<p>Who has not heard of Helen Keller? Her blindness and deafness could not shatter her indomitable spirit. There are many instances of such people. I had corresponded with families of cancer stricken children. The pain that I saw was enough to shake the bravest heart. I remember a small kid girl, who developed second degree burns as a reaction to her Chemotherapy. Her mother had a guest book and the notes on that site could make anyone weep. The pain that the child was undergoing was tremendous. But the photographs of a capped child smiling and laughing in the laps of her father were heart warming. Somewhere the spirit was alive in the family to fight it out cheerfully.</p>
<p>I also remember my conversations with a blind man of 70 years of age. He was secretary of one of the blind help groups. For sometime, during my talk, I realized that something strange was happening. Then suddenly it stuck me that this gentleman was using words such as Oh, I see, etc. without giving a pause. I was amazed with this talk. I knew that he had been a blind man for more than 40 years. I somehow gathered strength and asked him about usage of such words. He told me casually that there was nothing great about that. He could read and write and even type as well as any normal person. Though he had Braille. And he could see the faces with his touch. He had no regrets about his blindness. He had taken it as a fact of life and there was no feeling of having been dealt bad cards by the fate. Such people make us feel that adversities come to strengthen us. They test us. It is surely very tough to overcome them, but a strong will and faith in oneself and one&#8217;s God can give enough strength to overcome them.</p>
<p>Let us look at the life as a moving vehicle. As we move, we pass many scenes. Some good and some dirty. But we sit though the journey peacefully and reach our destination. We mostly remain unmoved because &#8211; we are not directly pained by the scenes outside and our focus is more on reaching the destination. In any adversity, at least the second part can be applied. </p>
<p>Come what may, our object should be to create a good life and live as an example for others. That should be our destination and that should be our motivation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In life we get what we ask for.</p>
<p>Now you surely say that it isn’t true. You say you ask for freedom and happiness and all you got was feeling imprisoned and bad.</p>
<p>Let’s have a closer look to how creation works and how our subconscious mind works. Because it’s the same.</p>
<p>Everything that exists is created in someone’s mind. Everything starts with a thought. A thought is an energy. Energy wants to manifest itself. A lot of thoughts in the same direction will, that’s for sure, manifest in the real world.</p>
<p>This is the process of creation. </p>
<p>We are created by the same process. We use this process of creation all the time,<br />
without knowing it.</p>
<p>When we are not conscious, then we are like most people and use this power to create a negative life. We have negative thoughts and get negative results.<br />
Once we learn how to think positive thoughts, we will get positive results in our life.</p>
<p>How come? Our subconscious mind is like the earth. It does not interfere with what we sow. Earth does not say : “I have enough of these carrots, it’s every time the same thing, I will make potatoes of it!” Earth does not say: “ don’t like red flowers, I will turn the red into blue for these roses!” Earth does not interfere. Earth is patient, works in silence and gives us exactly what we put in it. And we KNOW that! We know we will get exactly what we put in the earth. When we put yellow flowers in it, we don’t expect them to be red when they blossom. When we sow roses in the garden we don’t expect onions to come out in spring!</p>
<p>And yet that’s how we react in real life. We sow onions and expect roses. We sow negative thoughts in our mind (onions) and expect good things (roses) to come out! We fool ourselves! And we blame others. We look for who can possibly be the fault of that (usually we blame the parents or the husband/wife for what goes wrong in our life). And then we cry and say we don’t have any luck in our lives. We look at the neighbors and think he’s lucky because he has roses in his garden, and we wonder what we did to the world to deserve only onions in our garden!</p>
<p>When the mainstream of your thoughts is negative, let’s say for 85 %, than the outcome will be negative for 85%. Your thoughts fall into your subconscious mind, which executes exactly what you put in it. It is like the earth. It is like a computer. When you type in your computer : “I am stupid, I am fat, I am ugly, nobody loves me”, are you angry with your printer when the paper comes out that says “I am stupid, I am fat, I am ugly, nobody loves me”? Do you throw a shoe at your computer and do you yell at him that he is the fault of everything that’s going wrong? No, because you know you put that information in it and your computer does not interfere. The output matches exactly the input.</p>
<p>So works our subconscious mind. If you don’t like the output, change the input. You get exactly what you ask for; what you think of the whole day. Don’t be angry with your life. You are not angry with the onions, are you? You are not angry with your computer, are you? Instead of being angry, learn how it works and learn to get positive results in your life. Start thinking positive thoughts. Think only thoughts you wish  to see happen in real life. Think only what you want to become true. And wait for a while, be patient. One day you will harvest what you sew, like you know earth will give you back what you put in it. It is never lost. Just wait and see.</p>
