after reading the book The Secret, i get to account my current condition to my own thought and desire rather than any other things
simply put, The Secret raises the law of attration as the explanation of why we are in our present situation, and i think it is pretty sound. those who think they will probably fail will in reality fail, those who are less determined with their goals will be eliminated by the more determined, those who are after materialist desire will eventually get what they want, no matter they used hard cash or credit card in the course of getting the materials
the above eloberation is obviously over-simple and with loopholes... anyway, the thing i want to say is that we really need to set up our life-goal(s) in order to get ourselves concentrated on them. if we do not know what we want, we dont know what to do. the law of attraction will not work well on a person who has no settled target, becos the person's mind is a mess that no single desire is strong enough to motivate him/her to take a step
so, recently i set myself three life-goals. i think they are the most important to me. just me. i work them out with reference to some of my previous life experiences
first, progress/development. from childhood on i like taking drills. i will go to the basketball court alone to train my skills. i will go and do various trainings spontaneously. i know development/progress is an important theme in my life. in retrospect i was very happy whenever i found i was getting improvement in the fields that i did place effort on
second, relationship. i did not care it before. i was more or less an actor/performer, i always thought i got something to show people and i got the potential to be one of the greatest man in human history (i imagined i would be the youngest nobel prize winner), so what i was always seeking was in fact audience rather than friends. audience/spectators/bystanders never have close relationship with the performer, if one is inimate with me then he or she is not my audience. so to some extent i did isolute myself from the people arround me. i get to know the so-call having something to show the world is just a stupid useless idea out of vainity. warm, solid relationship is far more important.
third, financial free, in actual number asset worth of multi-millions dollars. i dont want to be bill gate or buffet, truly. all i want is to get financial free and so, get more spare time, and be able to do more high-consumption things in the spare time.
i have been working on these three goals (well, with uneven efforts) over a period of time. i found making clear my life-goals has the meaning that i know what is important and unimportant to me in my daily life. say, when i got into a row with the taxi-driver, i would quickly get it out of my mind since i immediately understood it had nothing to do with my goals. when i found an interesting online game, i would feel meaningless with it again becos its not related to the goals.
i am very happy that i get to understand what i want and get to be concentrated on them. i am more and more confident with my future in which all my three goals are realized. and, goals will change, i will keep reviewing and evaluating my goals yearly
it is a long essay, just to share what i have been recently working on
