How to

howto

We’re living in a world of “How to”.

People are looking for fast way to solve their problem. Thinking that reading a 10 step is enough to solve anything.

Reading about how to solve a problem is good. But it’s only a step in the right direction, you’ll still need to do lots of work about it.

Stop expecting someone else to solve your problem.

“We always hope for the easy fix: the one simple change that will erase a problem in a stroke. But few things in life work this way. Instead, success requires making a hundred small steps go right – one after the other, no slipups, no goofs, everyone pitching in.”
– Atul Gawande

Problem are created by us. We create them to face the need for change.

“You don’t have a problem; you only think you do.”

– Dr. Wayne Dyer

If you focus on solving the problem, there will be options offered to you. It’s up to you to choose what you want to do. And take action about it.

“I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.”
– Abraham H. Maslow

If you only have a hammer and it doesn’t work, this would be a great time to find new tools.

This one of my favorite quote by Albert Einstein.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them”
– Albert Einstein

Follow

Are you a follower? Do you like others to choose for you?

Sometimes, it’s ok to follow. Most of the time it’s when you want to learn something that you can only learn following someone who can show it to you.

In reality, most will keep following because it feels safe.

Being safe following is an illusion. Letting someone else choose for you will never be all that you want. I can bring some good things, but it will never be all you want. In the end, you’ll always find disappointment.

“Each of you, as an individual, must pick your own goals. Listen to others, but do not become a blind follower.”

– Thurgood Marshall

Someone determine to reach for their dreams will only follow to learn.

“Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.”

– Og Mandino

Follower think that they don’t face the responsibility for their failure. They live in the illusion of someone else being responsible. It’s an illusion, we’re responsible of everything we take action on. Even if it’s after someone else request or order.

No one can take the responsibility for your action.

Intention

You know deep inside if your intention to do ‘a good action’ is true.

Your intention is the real power behind your actions.

Ask yourself what is your intention when you are taking an action. As you keep on doing this, you’ll get better and better at doing the right things.

“A gift consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer.”

– Lucius Annaeus Seneca

We don’t always get the result according to the intention. Its ok, in the end, the law of return will rectify everything.

Choose the good action. Stay away from wrong doing.

“A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.”

– Liberty Hyde Bailey
