Remember when you got vaccinated?

Probably not, you were pretty small.

Remember why you do vaccinations?

How vaccination works?

How does vaccination and adversity go together?

(Getting a jab in the butt is surely adversity of a kind!)

Bear with me.

Coming on topic.

VACCINATION.

What it is : A small, weakened (previously dangerous) guy of unknown origins sent to your body.

Yep. The White Blood Cells.

What it does : New guy, all the members of your body see it, oohs & aahs follow and finally the Big Guys (White Blood Cells) show up.

WBC pick up the poor guy, analyze him and create a new antibody.

Something,

That will PROTECT YOU,…from the harmful versions of that thing,…… long into your future.

In other Words, It builds Capability.

Generally, An obstacle or adversity is seen as negative.

Generally, It generates fear, doubt, friction.

Much of these feelings are due to how we perceive it.

Our Perceptions and Paradigms make it so.

An electricity cut may make us adults groan, or,

it may make all kids come out in the neighborhood out for games.

Happy Time for them!

Life is Only Easy When You Have Capability.

Everyone wants life on easy mode.

But, all we see in the start is ‘Oh No, Adversity!’

Wait, It is easy.

Life has basically given you a Vaccination Shot.

You have mistaken it to be an adversity.

You have been given a dose, for free!

Life has gifted you this — Use it for the purpose it has come.

Do not allow it to spread doubt. It has come to teach you.

What you need to do when you get an “Adversity” :-

Perceive — Understand — Shift — Analyze — Develop.

  • Perceive : As you normally do, see how your mind reacts.
  • Shift : Conscious decision to change the way you take it as.
  • Understand : Growth & Opportunity inherently exist in it.
  • Analyze : Sit & reflect what all good changes it can trigger.
  • Develop : Take your mind to that place, easiest is to try it with patience,

The last step will lock in place as you go through the first 4 and settle on one field of improvement.

As the process shows us Hope in Step 4, our energy and intention match to Manifest Step 5.

It is a game of Perception and Belief.

It has come to teach you to Evolve

“Adversity” has come to TRAIN you, under favorable conditions.

Put it in the training ground of your mind.

Make it serve the purpose it can and you will be surprised.

Let it develop your patience

Let it develop Forgiveness

Let it develop your Personality — Your Focus — Self Control — Understanding — Serenity.

Yes, shake that tree!

See it’s offerings, be excited to what Power you will receive from it.

It is a training box with accessories.

See for what it is.

It isn’t adversity.

It is one of the power boxes you get in video games.

Receive it, Don’t Dodge it.

Open Them up & Power Up!

Go be Better today.
