Appreciation

This is a great example which I just got to learn about from Jim Rohn's seminar.

The seed, soil, rain, sunshine and season are a representation of the things that we have. In life, these things may be the type education that you have, the type of parents that you live with and so on. These are the resources that we have for us to convert it into a successful life.

Its a question of how we take all of what we got and regardless of how good or bad it may turn out to be, put them together to bring us to where we want to be.

We dont change the seeds, the soil, the sunshine..... We change ourselves and the way we use the seeds, soil, sunshine for the better, and let the magic happens naturally.

We learn ways to deal with the winter, but not wishing the winter to go away.

We learn to make ourselves better, and not wishing for problems to go away.

Therefore we must appreciate the things that we already have in life. Blaming circumstances in life is like blaming what you already have. Blaming the seeds that helps to yield harvest will only bring ultimate failure as we resent and diminish the resources that helps to bring success.

All of these comes back to the personal philosophy that we adopt in our life.

It is hard to change the circumstances around us, but it is easier to change ourselves.
