Some things are better understood through the natural experiences with life and everything around us at the moment -- to try and pay attention to what life freely and willingly gives you.

Rely on your own instincts, and dont follow the crowd. It is counteractive to your own destiny. Be aware of what is given back by others, whether it be money or kind, and accept it with an attitude of humility and joy. Whatever you give out comes back two fold!! Confidence and happiness, draws people to you. It is as if you are lit within. We all are in charge of our destiny, so beleive in yourself.

I see this as a lesson in faith. The man was illiterate and couldn't read, but established a viable business that prospered. However the son who was educated couldn't see the value in his father's determination and success and learn a lesson of 'against all odds'. I am inspired by this story. WOW!

The moment you let other people's views get in the way of you living your life, that's when your hard earned success crashes in on you because you let go of your power and surrendered it to somebody else. Much love, Reg from the Philippines When you know only one way to make your heart truly happy, do it without any hesitation.

dans un autre post , je disais ” trop de richesse tue la richesse ” , si chacun en voulait un peu moins , il en gagnerait davantage et avec le plaisir pour l’ouvrier et le plaisir pour le patron ( et donc pour les familles , amis …le bien-être se transmet comme l’état de stress aussi : voyez l’histoire du violonniste dont parlait paul de l’autriche , et vous comprendrez aussi que si la personne est dans un état de bien-être , elle est plus ouverte à recevoir les bonnes choses qui nous sont proposées / mais si la personne est stressée et préoccupée VITE VITE elle reste emprisonnée dans ses contraintes et tirent même la main de leur enfant afin qu’ils suivent leur démarche et ne s’arrêtent pas

nous devons changer ET ET changer pour nos enfants : afin que tous profitent et que nos enfants profitent davantage

merci , Paulo de nous rappeler que les peurs sont nos propres ennemis : confiance en nous , pour une confiance dans l’autre , pour une confiance du devenir des choses vers le meilleur , pour une confiance de l’avenir

Economic congress in January, 2009: if my boss relies on me and honors me I shall want to make more for him, if he too much makes me work just for his profit I am not motivated to work for the material(equipment) but much more to please for one person ( my boss)Either for me even or for my wife etc. if I work in the cheerfulness and the high head (if my boss considers me) I shall be effective double and I shall look the best of myself

In another post, I said ” too much wealth kills the wealth “, if each wanted it a little less, he would gain it more and with the pleasure for the worker and the pleasure for the boss (and thus for families, friends the well-being is passed on as the state of stress also:See the story of the violonniste about which spoke paul of Austria, and you will also understand that if the person is in a state of well-being, he is more opened to receive the good things which are proposed to us / but if the person is fast fast put under stress and worried he remains imprisoned into his constraints and pull even the hand of their child so that they follow their step(initiative) and do not stop

We have to change AND AND change for our children: so that all take advantage and so that our children take advantage more

Thank you, Paulo to remind us that the fears are our own enemies: confidence in us, for a confidence in the other one, for a confidence of the future of things towards the best, for a confidence of the future
