Most of us want everything yesterday. Today’s world is based on instant gratification. One can compare this to building a house. We want to put in a jacuzzi and plan the garden before building solid foundations and giving proper attention and care to every room in the house. Of course, such an approach is doomed to fail. We see it all around us: failed relationships, failed business ventures, and so the list goes on.
How can we remedy this syndrome?
The key is to get back to basics. Most of us have become so sidetracked we have even forgotten what the basics are! Let me list just three:
1. Integrity. We all want partners who are honest and don’t lie to us. We need to be this kind of person ourself before we can expect to attract someone like this. (Remember the Law of Attraction, which states that like attracts like, is absolute.)
2. Kindness. There are so few people in the world who are truly kind that the ones that are stick out like a sore thumb. Be this kind of person and you will then discover that the universe is a friendly place.
3. Hard Work. We all want something for nothing, but the universe simply doesn’t work this way. When something is just given to us, we tend not to appreciate it. If we work long and hard for it, and earn it literally by the sweat of our brow, it is ours forever!
These are just three basic rules to keep in mind. I am sure you can think of more. Don’t just think about them, practise them. Do it now.
