RE: 8 Mental Shifts That Made Me A Better Human

If you want goodness and good things, and beauty and happiness, it has to be something you're looking for in everything.

I fail to see your point fellow western man. I look for food in everything but I am still hungry

Sort:  

My post is not addressing victims of horrible circumstances, or that things we don't have direct control over can happen.

But if I have to explain that, and if that's what you choose to focus on, then you missed the grander point, and no amount of my explaining will help you get it.

You either have the experience and understand it once you experience it and see others experience it, or you do not.

Getting more of what you focus on, as a psychological rule, is more about our emotional and psychological capabilities, and it is a hugely separate thing from physical circumstances that might invade our reality from time to time.

I am also not a man. :)

We don't have direct control on anything. Free will is an illusion. When you are thirsty small microbes decide when to drink water. The control you have in your local life is much the same. Actually you can have more control in saving that child's life rather than getting a raise in your job. You describe wishful thinking.

As for the rest of the paragraphs you wrote I have nothing to say since it is over- hyped sensationalist jargon.

Pardon my assumption about your sex. :-)
