Is our day affected by the things happen around us?

There's a couple who were married for over 30 years, both are at the age of 60s. One day, the old man make a wish to an angel: I wish I could have a wife, who is 30 years younger than me. Angel answer: You wish had came true!

Suddenly a loud voice, and the old man became a 90 year old man. Yes, his dream came true, now his 60 year old wife is 30 years younger than him!

This is just a funny story, which bring us some thought: What direction we go are determined by our mindset.

Some of the people around me, struggling for a living most of the years since they are graduated. It may be 10 years, 20 years and more, but they are still hopping for a job. Though they had already experienced from many kind of jobs, and met so many people, they could actually been trained to be a better person. At least, they can no longer suffer in looking for a job all the while, nor worried for a basic expenses. But yet, they are still go around in the circle.

What is the main reason for this? Why they are still struggle for their living?

There are actually many reasons, and some of it is helpless, we couldn't do much on it. But, for the main reason, it could be due to their mindset.

What should we do in order to create a good thinking?

Below are some of the criteria, which can probably lead us to become a better thinking person:

1. Guard our eyes: Every day we looking at everything and everyone around us, all the things passing by us, it is beyond our control to select for anything before it goes into our eyes. However, some of the things are still under control, which may cause us immoral, or thinking bad if we insist to looking at.

For example: A lady shirt is not covered nicely because of her motion, we can choose to move away our eye sight, or just stare at her quietly and thinking something bad.

So: Eyes can affect our thinking

2. Guard your ears: Listen to the positive message and be together with positive thinking friends.

For example: Jason just failed his exam paper, it ruins his days. During the lunch gathering with Michelle, she comfort and cheers him up, she encourage him to take up another paper after more preparation. Jason feels well and have more motivation now.

So: Ears can affect your day

3. Guard your lifestyle: Adjust your style of living, live in the day which fill with joy and hope, rather than live in the situation full of blame or disappointment.

For example: Sharon grown up in a single parent family, all the while she's lack of confident. She felt that her friends was not like her, and hence it had affected her school's result. With this poor result, she couldn't get a job that she wishes to. Everyday Sharon having a bad emotion and always recall back her old days.

So: Lifestyle may influence your future

Most of  the time, we have to appreciate if there's parents staying with us. They may tell us their experiences in life, share with us the joyful days, and we have the chance to rely on each others. 

Try to thanks for everything which is happen to us, and think it deeply, what can we learn from this occurrence.

Do you have any experiences, that something had influence your day and your decision? Why not share it to me?
