How events Happen in our lives-Part II

I have thought this over and over many times.How does incidents occur in our lives? Are they just accidental, or are they brought upon us by ourselves?

For instance, take the life of Johnny,when Johnny was a kid Johnny had this habit of urinating on his bed while in sleep(Nocturnal enuresis). Every time he wanted to stop his habit, all the time he woke up with the same thing occuring.Night after night he would wake up in the middle of night drenched in his own urine .He had to change his clothings and the bed sheets before going to sleep again.Not only Johnny his parents too were very sad about his plight.Parents tried everything they could do to help Johnny, they would feed johnny early, limit water intake.Every night his parents would wake him up at 12 in the night and took him to the toilet and drain him of the urine hoping to keep him dry.Then also Johnny would collect enough urine to wet his bed by the morning.Johnny was 10years Old by this time.

Atlast Johnny’s parents came to understand one fact, Johnny should understand that he has the power to control his mind. They gave him a small lecture on how he can control his urge by belief in himself. He wouldn’t understand at first, but his parents gave him enough confidence by reciting Bible verses . He gained self confidence and said to himself “I will never wet this bed again,I can control myself”.Slowly he began to regain his self, the thought of bed wetting went away from his mind, he began concentrating on other things in his life.

It was a miracle, after a few days (1 week) Johnny was dry.When he understood the power of his mind, little Johnny was a strong kid.He understood how to control himself,how to gain control over his life. This experience would guide Johnny through the rest of his life.The most important of all, trust in oneself than anything else.

NB:How events happen in lives is a series on how, we can transform our lives by just listening to ourselves and having belief in our self.

How events happen in our lives-Part I

After a long interval, when I write this post, I was just wondering how thoughts can change the outcome of every act we are performing. The story goes like this:

After finishing the MBBS course, qualified as a doctor, the first thing I wanted to do was run Amok! I really enjoyed life for a few months after my House surgeoncy.When I went to Kasargod from my native place(Kottayam) to do rural service, I never had an intention to prepare for PG entrance, my intention was just to complete the rural service and to get the hell out.

Meanwhile all my friends were attending PG coaching classes, I really enjoyed the landscape of the district where I was posted. Four months went by uneventfully, classes had begun, I didn’t even care to join.I was on regular contact with my friends, who were always talking about PG entrance and blah blah. Soon I too was interested, I didn’t know where the interest came from.Maybe I thought about future, but it began influencing me. I joined entrance classes at kottayam all of a sudden.An urge from within asked me to go that way, I obeyed it.

Thoughts influence our life, what we hear, what we see, what we say, everything has something to do with our future.Fortune tellers have a good time, because they follow this rule without knowledge.When a fortune teller predicts your future, what he does is sow some seeds of thought into your mind. The thoughts germinate and grow into big trees and bear fruits. If the seed sown is negative, the fruit will be poisonous, if the seed is a good one, the fruit will be delicious.

Take this another instance. I was planning to return from my workplace which is about 400km from my native place.My brother Justin booked the ticket for me, I got a ticket on the side upper of S4 compartment. Since I am about 6 feet, I knew I couldn’t sleep, with the unavailability of space interfering with positioning of my legs. When I called home, I told mother “Mom I am going to ask the person next to me to trade berths with me”. I forgot this incidence but the real surprise came when I boarded the train! When I came in put my luggage on the berth, the lady next to me asked , “can you please take my berth and give y
our berth to me”.I was baffled, I didn’t know how this happened. But now I know how!

Thoughts influence our life a lot, what we think of now materializes tomorrow.Thoughts shape up our world, they bring into our life whatever we want. I may be talking like all those preachers out there, but this fact is true. I have experienced this in my life many times, but didn’t know it was due to my thought on a past date.

Now what I am going to do is shape my future with my thoughts, by nurturing good thoughts, by weeding out negative thoughts.
