本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛LET'S FACE it, to live in this world you have to be strong. Sooner or later, something will hit you -- pain, sickness, accident, failure -- and when it comes it will rock you, unless you have developed some good inner toughness --"toughmindedness," I call it.
It could be that the world was made as it is, full of problems and difficulty, to bring out this tough quality in human beings. Because you are, in fact, tougher than you think. All the strength you'll ever need to handle ANYTHING is within you now. It was put there by your Creator, who knew very well what you would be up against in this life -- and made you equal to it.
If life seems to be going extra hard for you, ask yourself honestly just where the trouble is. The tendency is to blame othere people, or forces beyound your control. But the truth is within you. As Gautama Buddha declared:" The mind is everything; what you think, you become." If you are weak and defeated, the reason may well be that you have allowd failure to dominate your thoughts, creating a deep unconscious belief that you do not have the ability to succeed.
The solution? Reverse the mental image of yourself. This will not be easy; negative mental habits have channeled deep grooves in your consciousness, and your mind will protest a positive reorientation. But you must realize that your mind has actually been lying to you about your real abilities, deliberately causing you to fail. So you must stand up to your mind, dominate it. Don't let it control you. You can always-with God's help -- control it.
