Wanna win the lottery?
The first step is to buy a ticket.
You see in order to get a desire we must ask for it with our thoughts, believe in it while working to get it, and then collect the wish.
This is often referred to as the law of attraction. This law is essentially a belief or theory, that “like attracts like,” and that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, one can bring about positive or negative results.
Before moving any further, I would like to state that I have no interest in swaying in what you believe.
I’m just simply trying to help others, such as yourself, succeed in your work, personal life, and the challenges you face.
I can write a whole book on spirituality, motivation, self-confidence, consciousness, awareness, self-being, and etc. The bottom line is that this world is truly wonderful and you can achieve anything you want.
A very well known and well documented example of the law of attraction is the placebo effect, most of which occur in medication trials.
Even the most carefully designed double-blinded study almost always yield very measurable placebo improvement; patients who believed they would be affected positively by the medications fared better than those who did not, even when given an inert tablet (often a sugar pill).
Less commonly known, though still very valid, is the nocebo effect, which is the term given to side effects and other negative consequences of medications that manifest out of a placebo effect.
Like the placebo effect, the results that contain this type of data are indeed real, and prove very valuable in the study of human psychology. This isn’t the only proof that showcases this theory in action. You can do more research about it and find much vital information that will benefit your conscience.
So how does this whole thing relate to hard work? Most people will do what’s easiest and avoid hard work — and that’s precisely why you should do the opposite.
The superficial opportunities of life will be attacked by hordes of people seeking what’s easy. The much tougher challenges will usually see a lot less competition and a lot more opportunity.
Well if you keep thinking about the negatives of the job you are doing, they will stand out even more when you stumbleupon them.
People are so hungry to achieve happiness, yet everybody has a different definition of it.
So in theory if you are chasing happiness, you will never get it because you don’t know what it truly means.
Recently many successful businessmen, that were all worth well over 1 million, were interviewed and asked what is the number one thing you would have wished for before you died?
And you know what close to 100% of then said?
They’ve wished they would have spent more time with their family.
I do not have a specific source to where I read this, because of my terrible memory and party due to the fact that I visit thousands of websites. However the moral of this message is that they can literally buy almost anything they want in the world, yet the emotional value that is free was their top desire.
Pretty crazy huh?
Today we have collected fifty-five motivational quotes about hard work. The following quotes were stated by heroes, poets, scholars, creatives, and leaders.
The brightest minds in human history have thought and written about values and their meanings, all you have to do is take in what they’ve learned and apply it to your life.
After all they spent their lives making mistakes and learning from them. I’m sure your parent taught you a thing or two from their mistakes as well.
Have an open mind and evaluate what others are trying to give you. Knowledge is extremely powerful and will take you to places you’ve never imagined.
Many people are ignorant and refuse to think that others are smarter than them. This mistake is never made by intelligent people. You know why? Because without any sort of judgement they assume that others are smarter than them, even if the fact is not so.
I really hope you will enjoy the quotes we have mentioned today and actually ponder upon their meaning. Every single one has a strong message.
Value that message and apply it to your daily life. Your thoughts can make reality, because let’s be honest everything in the Universe is made our of energy. 😉
