Recently, I did watch a presentation clip on my
friend’s YouTube channel that taught me several lessons. The many issues
covered indirectly by the presentation explained different things in
perspective; life, the bible, physics, etc. I also learned two more lessons,
that is- why some people stagnate in life yet they are so brilliant and why at
times people of great promise lead lives which are not at all inspiring.
For those in the know on matters of physics, the
clip I watched might have been illustrating the obvious. However, to a person
like me who is laying in that field, it was indeed a big deal. The following
illustrates what the video showed:
The lessons learned
The presentation video clip showed a pickup truck travelling at 50 miles
per hour. The pickup was loaded with cannon. Now from the cannon, a cannonball
was fired in the opposite direction. The speed of the cannonball was equal to
the speed of the pickup truck (50 miles per hour). What happened next? The
cannonball just stagnated and dropped to the ground due to balancing forces.
To me, that was really huge and I tried comparing it with an article I
read in some publication a decade ago which gave a similar analogy but from a
different perspective. Now, what would be your response if your friend asks you
whether your health is poor, fair, good, or excellent?
Believe it or not, your answer would be a sure predictor as to whether you will
survive or die within the coming four years-according to credible research
findings. Fact Findings In a recent study of about 3,000 women and men with
disabilities, it was found that those who considered their health to be “poor”
were five times more likely to die in the coming four years as opposed to those
who rated their health as “excellent”.
This fact held true for people who considered their health to be excellent even
though they were sick. The converse was also true for those who said they were
poor health-wise yet were not suffering or disadvantaged by any medical
condition. A survey of five other research findings involving about 23,000
people, many of whom were people with various kinds of disabilities, arrived at
similar conclusions.
To say that loose lips sink ships is but an understatement. In the first book
of the Bible (Genesis), the law of the spoken Word is the very first law of
creation. Remember? “Let there be” and that is law number one that governs
life. Simply put; you are a product of your own thoughts. It is not surprising
to state that many human beings, irrespective of their physical challenges,
talk themselves into very bad situations and then turn to others to pray for
them when the very things they talked themselves into turn into reality.
Negativity Breeds Negativity
Many a time, we speak wrong things in our own lives; more so, to our children.
Once you condemn your kids as being good for nothing, how do you then expect
solutions when they begin to abide by your words? We do believe, hence we
speak. Essentially, whatever we speak unveils that which we believe, either
consciously or otherwise. That said, you thus, need to send your own words
ahead of you. It is through your very own words that you can indeed frame your
world.
If at all you must speak, then speak good things about your own being. Get
lessons from the law of creation and lead the lifestyle you so deserve. The
issue with the law of creation was not in describing the darkness that
prevailed on Earth, but it was to speak light that was desired. Try as much as
you can to shun spending time with talented negative speakers because their
negativity might translate into your reality.
There is no way, for real that you can pronounce vitriol over your employer,
company, guide, and helper and expect them to bless you. How can you speak
badly about your native country and expect to prosper in it? Speaking
positively is not the same as saying we deny the presence of things that cannot
simply work. What it means is that you speak from dimensions that are above
board. Despite the laws of gravity, airplanes are able to fly because of
engaging higher laws of thrust and lift.
Similarly, you can activate advanced laws despite the prevailing
conditions-simply by speaking rightly. I am not in a position to explain this
exhaustively; just in the same manner, it is not easy to explain why a black
cow that eats green grass produces white milk! However, there is one thing that
I am certain about: whenever we speak the right words regarding our own lives
or lifestyles, somehow, things begin to align themselves in the right way. For
instance, you will somehow meet the right person or people, find the right
career to study, a nice book to read, or find you reading this article right
now! The truth: Either way you cannot be wrong.
Conclusion
You are right if you say, you can. You are also right if you say, you can’t.
Whatever you say manifests itself in your world. Once again remember that your
words form the building blocks with which you determine the course of your
future. You live within the confines set by your own words. We try to instil
these tenets in our children at Miami Primary School so that when they grow up,
they shall not depart from the truth.
