We all have had time in our life when we have felt as if life goes down the spiral and the free fall filled us with despair. But, think for a moment. When you are down, thinking how miserable life is will only attract more misery towards you. Law of attraction suggests that you attract what your thoughts conceive. Instead of feeling despair, imagine what happens when a kid sliding down a water slide ? That kid surely hits the bottom and wait, what he does when that happens ? He stands up and walk. That’s powerful lesson. It suggests no matter how terrible circumstances and life seems, you should remember that there is always a bright dawn that awaits you. A rise of a day after dark night is nature’s source of strength to stand up with a bright dawn. If you are in despair due to circumstances in your life, you will attract more despair. It is not circumstances that matters, it is how we react to circumstances matters the most.

• In 1985 a british mountaineer Joe Simpson was sliding down in a mountain in Peru. During a decent, he broke his leg and fell into a deep crevasse. His fellow team members left him thinking that he died. He was angry and felt that death was near but instead of focusing on his misery and inevitable death, he decided to think way out of the crevasse. He spent first night crying, weeping and kicking walls of crevasse in anger. Next day he realized that he can take action and survive or he can think misery and invite certain death. He took a brave decision to climb down into crevasse and ultimately found his way out This is one of the most astounding act of courage shown by human in extremely adverse circumstances. He was hitting bottom but once he affirmed himself with strong faith and utmost confidence, he was able to lift his life out of most certain death. If he cried and kept his thoughts in despair, he was definitely surrendering to the death but by showing courage and self belief he engaged his mind into thinking “yes, I am going to find way out of here” instead of “I am dying and there is no hope”. He expected a miracle and indeed miracle happened.

A case in extreme also needs a careful examination.

• Nick was a strong man who worked for a big railroad company and always worked hard but he had lacked self belief. He was the most pessimistic man on the job. One night he locked himself in a refrigerated boxcar that was empty and not connected to any trains. He desperately tried to get out, cried and even injured his hands and legs in an effort to open the door. Next morning, he was found dead in the boxcar. Here’s the fascinating fact that emerged as investigators revealed that Nick had indeed frozen to death but the boxcar had a temperature of sixty one degrees and refrigeration was not working when Nick died. I his chronicle, Nick wrote details of his death which indicated that he was in deep despair and hopeless with no self belief to stop his death. He expected worst and he received worst. He became what he believed. He could have filled his thoughts with positive, uplifting determination backed by faith to overcome any obstacles to spare his life as Joe Simpson did while he had no hope of survival. Nick had far better chance to survive than Joe did but he chose to die due to his lack of self respect and message he sent to his subconscious mind that acted without any error to bring death as he wished. When you are down, when no one believes that you can come out of despair, you can defy everyone including so called experts if you do not allow your thoughts to surrender to the concept of defeat. Take word “defeat” out of your dictionary and proclaim word “win” and you will find that nature wants you to live life of your dream despite any setbacks you may have at this time. If you believe that you are a winner, if you believe that you will have life of your dream and if you see yourself everyday at the helm of success then failures just become temporary roadblocks to allow you to re energize your thoughts and ideas and actually help you construct the pathway to the life of your dream. Just remember, you become what you believe. So, affirm yourself that nothing is impossible for you. You have all one needs to be happy and successful and go act on it that you want to achieve. Period.
