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.
