I have been sharing with people about ‘operate at cause’, ‘go with the flow’, ‘patient’, ‘be yourself’, …
It seems all the greatest formulas have been remembered or written down.
The next common question that they would ask is ‘How do I get there?’
There?
What? Where?
Firstly, we must understand what is the ‘there’ means to you.
‘There?’ to many of us is either ‘success’, ‘rich’, ‘having a family’ or ‘good looking’, … in sum it’s a feeling of ‘happiness & contentment’….
Well, we are aware that many of us do not need to be rich, successful, good looking or having a family in order for us to be happy. E.g. some can have a decent job alone and yet they can have fun everyday.
In the contrast, one can be the richest man in town with wonderful wife and children, and yet he can be keep dwelling in his box of negative emotions.
Then, what are we chasing for?
To me.
It is just a state of mind.
Yes, it is the state of mind that we are talking about. That is the ‘there’ that we are saying.
The state of mind that we feel peaceful and contented.
How?
How to reach there?
Have you ever learned on how to ride on a bicycle?
Every learning process starts from having the AWARENESS. From the awareness, you had LET GO of a certain degree of RESISTANCE to move forward. This is when you first found out the joy or usefulness of riding a bicycle. It is just like the realization that you have, you have ‘to do something’ to move forward in life.
From the awareness that you have, you would start asking people or self the ‘HOW TO’. The ‘HOW TO’ answers will give you options of different ways to ride a bicycle. When you are SEEKING for answers, you would encounter many teachers along the way being physical or non physical. It can be from people, books, events, religion… that you have come across.
BE BRAVE TO MOVE FORWARD BY TAKING THE ACTION ON STEPPING the pedals and the wheels will follow your momentum to roll forward.
SURRENDER to the flow of riding a bicycle. It is easier to let go of the control and have the FLEXIBILITY to turn the steering instead of holding it too tight.
Have the PATIENT in the PROCESS OF LEARNING. With the patient that you have on keep practicing it, you can eventually achieve no matter what on riding a bicycle. The more patient that you have the easier you are in the flow of learning.
TRUST YOURSELF that you have it. Be 100% congruently that you can have the skill. With this belief, you can reach the balance with the two thin wheels.
Each fall that you have experienced, allow you to remember what not to do and what to learn from the point that you have fallen. Be patient and consciously reminding yourself until you have INTEGRATED the lessons.
NEVER GIVE UP TO CONTINUE THE JOURNEY OF LEARNING IN LIFE and eventually you will be able to ride a bicycle at ease.
Focus on the NOW. Past failure have made you wiser but not to deter your success in the future.
Keep the CURIOSITY going to find the balance between the two wheels by having the patient to try out in different sitting position on a bicycle.
Once you have gone through the conscious learning. You will come to the point that you are riding on a bicycle unconsciously. You start to enjoy the scenery, chatting with friends around and even laughing while riding a bicycle.
All of these points can sum up to one word.
One word?
Yes, one word only.
What is it?
‘PATIENT’…
