Once upon a time in a rural Chinese village, there was an old man who people considered very wise. They trusted his judgment and frequently came to him with their questions and concerns.
One day a poor farmer approached the man with a terrible dilemma. "Oh wise man, help me," he pleaded. "A horrible thing has happened. My ox died, and now I have no animal to help me plow my field! Isn't this just the worst thing that could have happened?" The wise man replied by saying, "maybe so, and then again, maybe not." Irritated that the man didn't seem to grasp the seriousness of his predicament, her rushed back home and told all this neighbors that the wise man had lost his marbles.
Yet as life would have it, the first thing the following day, a healthy, strong horse meandered onto the man's property. Staring at this majestic beast, it occurred to him that he could tame this horse and hitch it up to the plow. This ended up being a far more efficient way to plow the fields than his old, slow ox. So he returned to the wise man and offered his apologies, confessing that he had been wrong to doubt his wisdom, Losing the ox had turned out to be a hidden blessing! Surely now, however, the elder must agree that this was certainly just about the best thing that could have happened.
"Maybe it is," the wise man replied. "But then again, maybe it is not." This statement made the farmer even angrier than he was before. He took off in a tizzy, thinking the wise man was merely jealous of his good fortune.
The farmer went about his business and forgot about the wise man's comment. The next day, however an unfortunate thing happened. The farmer's lad was atop this new horse when it bucked. The boy was tossed to the earth and broke his leg. This was indeed a disaster! Now the farmer had nobody to help him harvest his crops, which meant they could rot in the fields, causing his family to go hungry. More distraught than ever, the farmer headed back to the elder again, hoping for some sympathy. "How could you have known that this horse was a bad thing?" he asked. "Your wisdom must know no limits. Now however, you must surely admit that this development has got to be the WORST THING that ever did happen." The wise man answered with his typical candor. "Perhaps it is, but on the other hand, perhaps it's not." Furious, the farmer rushed away in disbelief.
A week later, government troops arrived to canvas the village. They took every able-bodied man of a certain age to be drafted into the war that had just broken out. All the new recruits from this village were sent to the front line, where each and every on was cut down in battle. But because the farmer's son had broken his leg the week earlier, he alone was spared and could now carry on the family name.
Prophets of Disaster.
The moral of the story is this: We often spend an enormous amount of time and energy fretting future catastrophes which never arrive. Life throws us a curveball that interferes with our plans, and we automatically assume the worst. Psychologists call this "fortune telling," and it can add a lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety to our lives.
Our brains are anxiety machines by nature. But recognizing this tendency in ourselves can help buffer against this natural inclination.
The truth is that some of our best experiences and most wonderful opportunities arise from what at first seem like terrible developments. An unwanted move, a lost job . . . many things which turn out to be a stepping stone in our lives seem like a disastrous setback at the time.
We don't ever know how things will turn out:. Ever. In fact, studies show we aren't very good at predicting what's best for us in the first place. What people assume will make them happy often doesn't, and what they overlook or see as negative or insignificant often turns out to have a positive impact on their lives. Therefore these goals of ours that we fret so much about aren't necessarily even pointing us in the right direction to begin with.
So the next time life throw you a curveball and your mind is telling you how disastrous this development will be, you have two choices. Either run around in despair like the man in the story, fretting that the sky is falling, or just shrug your shoulders and say, "maybe, maybe not."

How to Forgive a Shark
When six year old Lucy Magnum was bitten by a shark as she boogie-boarded in the shallow waters off the North Carolina coast, she was understandably upset. Thanks to her parents, who acted quickly to get her out of the water and applied pressure to the wound, Doctor's were able to save her leg.
Recovering from her wounds in the hospital, Lucy angrily declared: "I hate sharks. I like dolphins way better." But once her parents explained that the shark had simply made a mistake and didn't know she was a human when it bit her, her attitude changed: "I don't care that the shark bit me," she told her mother. "I forgive him."
This cute and amusing story nicely pictures an important principle of psychological healing. The way you picture and explain an experience to a child can completely alter their emotional reaction to it.
People can behave like sharks sometimes in that they often make mistakes that can cause others a great deal of pain and suffering. Yet how you explain those things -- as either the product of intentional malice or the misunderstanding and imperfections of flawed humans -- will determine whether a child finds a quick psychological recovery, or stays stuck in a ruminative state of negative emotions that stays with them well into the future.
Children will suffer injustices in their lives at the hands of others. Yet when they do, parents routinely cause their child far more harm than the event they are concerned about by modeling reactions that teach them a negative, stigmatizing or destructive way of relating to that event. Remember this: while experiences are limited in nature, a child's interpretation of that experience, which is largely garnered by the attitude of adults, will endure well into the future. Whether a child continues to be bothered by a negative experience often has little to do with the event itself, and everything with how parents teach them to relate to that event.
As this shark mistook this child for a source of food, sometimes people make mistakes in the way they behave. Just as it feels worse to believe a mean-spirited shark is out to deliberately ruin our day at the beach by trying to eat you, it feels worse when parents react to their child's bad experiences with explanations of intentional malice from others. So be very careful how you teach children to see their world. You want them to live where good people sometimes make mistakes, not in a world where people are always out to get them.
Let's examine several ways to apply this story to our own lives.
Look for the innocence in others.
As we live our lives, we should always look for the good in others, as opposed to searching for injustice. As Lucy's anger against the shark disappeared when her parents explained a more innocent view of the shark's action, so to can our own anger dissipate when we try to understand the innocence in other people's actions. Psychiatrist Dr. Richard Carlson says, "I have found that, if you look deeply enough, you can almost always see the innocence in other people as well as in potentially frustrating situation. When you do, you will become a more patient and peaceful person . . ." *
Distinguishing between result and intent.
Do not assume that other people do hurtful things with the intent of hurting us. This is rarely the case. The hurt we cause one another is almost always an accidental outcome, just like the shark bites.
Understanding the needs of others.
Remember that behind every hurtful deed is an unfulfilled need. Just like hungry sharks that take a bite out of little girls, the hurtful behavior of others is always driven by a desire to fill some perceived need. We should always recognize their needs and desires as legitimate and worthwhile, even if some of the ways they go about trying to fulfill that need are not. Every action of every person is merely an attempt to either seek pleasure or avoid pain. Just as it's silly to hold a grudge against an animal that mistakes us for a meal, it's rather pointless to hold grudges against people who are merely trying to go about the job of securing happiness in the best way they know how at that particular time.

Real-Time Commentary About A Real Time Problem
Everybody talks about how, despite the recent economic issues we have been dealing with and the growing political uncertainties in the Middle East and with Russia and the Ukraine, we are living in one of the greatest eras of humanity, thanks to the advances that social media offers us. This is certainly true for many reasons, but the fact is that not everything that it offers us is advantageous. Thanks to the anonymity that the internet offers us, there have numerous occasions cited where interactive discussions and <a href="http://www.tawkers.com">real-time commentary</a> have turned ugly. Bullying has gone from the oversized kid pushing you down in the playground and stealing your money to voices chiming in from around the world commenting on how fat you look in a picture you just posted on your social media app. It is this very judgmental nature that puts pressure on girls and young women to mistreat their bodies in an effort to attain an unrealistic physicality. By focusi
ng so much on their appearance, they diminish their own self-esteem, they devalue other aspects of their personality and they ultimately drive themselves into depression.
Thankfully many women are taking back the streets, as it were, by creating online discussions where women discuss Barbie doll body image in a safe environment. These open forums serve as a place where they can talk openly about why they feel the need to look a certain way and get the support to help them feel better about who they are as a person. Just as importantly, it helps to open up the discussion as to why so many women feel this way in the first place. Is this something that is created very early on in life by playing with an idealized doll that has unrealistic proportions and told that is what it means to be beautiful? Or does it come as girls get older and are introduced to fashion magazines that promote stick thin models, advertisements that focus on beauty product after beauty product, and movies and television shows where the beautiful girl gets the good looking guy and her less attractive best friend supposedly is happy for them? The truth is probably somewhere
in the middle, but it will be discovered sooner rather than later, now that social media and interactive discussions are finally around to help foster the conversation.
Now the girl that feels like an outcast doesn't have to feel like she is alone, because now she can be connected with a million girls around the world who feel just like she does. She can learn to recognize she is beautiful not because of how she looks but because of who she is, and in turn she can go to open forums and be the voice that someone else was to her. She can use <a href="http://www.tawkers.com">social media</a> to mentor another girl who feels lost in the world, and slowly we can truly make this the greatest era of humanity.

The Thank You Jacket
Copyright (c) 2014 Joe Vitale
One way to attract money or attract wealth (or attract anything else) is to practice gratitude and appreciation so you can experience transformation right now. The following true story illustrates what I mean…
Six months ago I ordered a handmade leather fanny pack from I Medici Firenze, a store in Chicago that sells goods from Florence, Italy. The item had to be specially made for me, since at the time my waist was bigger than the average fanny.
There were numerous delays, and by the time the fanny pack arrived -- six months after I had ordered it -- I had lost fifty pounds, including ten inches off my waist.
Obviously, the item didn't fit. I was now too slim for it. But I didn't think much of it and just let it go.
A few weeks ago I was back in Chicago. I decided to return to the store and thank the owner for delivering the item, even though it was six months late and no longer the right size. Still, I was grateful I got my order. I wanted to show my appreciation by making a personal appearance in her store. I wanted to say thank you.
She wasn't there. I wandered around, lusted over all the leather handbags, messenger bags, laptop bags, fanny packs and such, and enjoyed seeing the goods and breathing in the leather.
As I explored the store, I noticed a man's leather jacket on a rack. It was the only one there. The store doesn't sell clothing, so this was an oddity.
I thought it looked great, felt it and admired the softness of it, but let it be. I didn't need a jacket. And it's warm outside in both Chicago and Texas these days. I'd probably not wear it for a while.
But Peter Wink, my company's vice-president of marketing, also saw the jacket. Peter's got an eye for good clothes. He asked me to try it on. I did. To my surprise, it fit like it was tailor-made for me.
Peter, who dresses like he's being photographed for GQ magazine every day, said the jacket looked stunning on me. He said, "There are good jackets, great jackets, and then that jacket."
I asked for the price. It was fair. But my intuition said I could get it for less.
I asked the clerk to call the owner on the phone. He did.
I then told the owner how I only came in to thank her for the delivery of the fanny pack, how it didn't fit, etc. I went on to tell her about the jacket. I wondered what the lowest price for it would be.
She gave me a terrific discount and I walked out wearing that jacket.
Please note the lesson:
I didn't go into that store to buy a jacket.
I only went in to say thank you.
I only went in to say thank you for an item that took six months to arrive and was the wrong size, but I walked out wearing one of the finest leather jackets of my life - bought at a discount.
This is the power of gratitude and appreciation.
If you want to attract money or attract wealth (or attract a cool new jacket), you need to say "thank you" all the time, for every moment, no matter how you are judging it.
The more you practice appreciation, the more you will learn how the law of attraction really works.
Thank you.

A Journey Of Progression For The Motivated UltraModern Man
Ok, I hear you asking. Exactly what certifies this person to speak about a 'journey of discovery' for the innovative and inspired modern-day man? Well, believe it or not - I am the first modern-day guy.
How can I make such an audacious statement? Easy ...
Follow me, as I share with you the start of my 'trip of discovery' to becoming an actual modern man - the 'ultimate' survivor in today's procrastinating world.
Everything began at the tender age of just 9 months, here I was in mum's womb all comfortable and cosy, but bored with simply floating around all day. Then a sensation of intense anticipation came on me and I recognized that the time had in fact come for my first outrageous adventure in my 'trip of discovery' as a modern-day man.
So feeling around for what I can utilize in my very first 'outrageous' experience as a determined and modern infant, I spotted my umbilical cord. It was long, tough, thick and pliable. I got it, wrapped it around my feet and wiggled into a standing position. Taking a huge breath, I shouted with all my might, "B-U-N-G-E-E-E-E"!!! And out I popped ... Thus was documented the world's very first bungee jump.
Over the years that followed, as I grew from boyhood to manhood, and progressed on my inspired outrageous journeys in my 'journey of discovery' as a modern-day 'supreme' survivor, I canoed throughout the Sahara desert, climbed Mt Everest from the inside, and established that elite group of <a href="http://www.survivenaturalmanmadedisasters.com/action-heroes-survival-guide/">'Action Heroes'</a> today's real, 'super' modern men, and I was the very first to break the 700mph (1,170 km/h) land speed record while pushing the automobile in my first 'radical' journey.
In my next 'outrageous' adventure I became the original surfer too. It happened when I was sailing a small wooden yacht that became smashed off the coastline of some isolated islands. Here I was up to my neck in water and going nowhere quick. Next minute a big piece of the yacht's wooden wreckage floated by, so being a confident and highly strong-minded modern man, I climbed onto it then stood upright - as it seemed the natural thing to do.
So exactly what took place next?
Well, here I was keeping steady on this sizeable piece of wood and I hear this 'rushing' sound behind me, I look over my shoulder and racing toward me is a tsunami wave. Hey! This one is huge! I did the only thing today's pioneering guy would have done, I 'rode' it for over 100km's (60miles), right onto shore. What an adrenaline rush!
It was then I recognized that after making it through such a, 'that-made-me-stand-up-and-take-notice' outrageous journey, I may well <a href="http://www.survivenaturalmanmadedisasters.com">survive any super-scary natural disaster or emergency situation</a>.
Not long after that 'outrageous' experience, I heard that some individual in Hawaii had actually found that piece of wood wreckage I had utilized, and formed the front and back and called it a 'surf board'. Apparently he became quite famous ...
To put of all my modern guy 'outrageous' experiences into "The Modern Man's Journey Of Discovery Survival Guide Handbook", would fill a city library - and those books would have to be written in small print ...
One final word, I hope by showing you a few of my modern man 'outrageous' experiences that it will influence you to begin your 'journey of discovery' of life, and develop into today's innovative modern guy - the 'ultimate' survivor. So prepare to impress your companions, intrigue woman, terrify the canine and live a life worth living!
