I was going into Home Depot a while back and I wanted to put up some shelves in my house. I was going into Home Depot and it said, at the time I lived in Massachusetts and so it said right on the front there it said, ?Massachusetts's do it yourself center.? It says that in every state, whatever Ohio, Kentucky or whatever state you're in.
I looked that sign and I had an interesting thought, I said you know what's so funny, is that do it yourself doesn't mean do it alone. Do it yourself doesn't mean do it alone, and what do I mean? I'm going into this big store, I didn't make the store, and I'm going in to buy shelves. I didn't make the shelves. I didn't make the screws. I didn't make the hammer. I didn't make the drill. I didn't do any of that, I just went in and bought it, but somebody else did it for me.
Yes, I'm doing it myself, but I'm not doing it alone. Imagine if I'd had to make the drill or a shelf or do that, it's like Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow Rich when he talks about having to actually make your own breakfast. Having to swim to China to get the tea, and drive down to Florida to get the oranges, you know, do all of these things. Who made the car?
We live in a vast inter-dependent universe and world, whether we want to believe it or see it or acknowledge it or not. We live in an interdependent world, not an independent one. We want to be independent, but what we really truly are is interdependent. I mean who made the computer you're sitting in front of, did you? Of course you didn't. Did you make the phone you're on? No. We are interdependent. The better and deeper we understand and use that truth then the deeper, better, and higher we will get in our results in our life.
That is the essence of a loving mirror principle. It is a principle, it's not a person, it's not based on you and me, and it's a principle that is whether we like it or not. I have to say in all honesty that it's annoying sometimes. It would be so nice to just do it yourself. Again you're doing it yourself; you're just not doing it alone.
It Doesnt Mean Anything Lyrics
When we tell somebody to kick off their bad habits, we usually convey the message that they should either stop smoking, taking drugs or alcohol. But there are many bad habits that we often tend to overlook. If these bad habits could be caught hold of and deleted from our lives, life could be better enjoyable.
Bad habits and how to get over them
Nail Biting : This is usually on a rise when the examinations are near or if you are watching your favorite team playing a game over television. You are usually born with long and beautiful nails but by the end of your life, you have hardly anything to be called nails. As far as stopping this habit, there are many ways to do it. You either polish your nails with something that has a very bad taste. You can also get a manicure done. You will think twice before biting your nails the next time after getting such a costly manicure done.
Blowing the bubble gum : You may well enjoy this habit of your's but little do you realize as to how much of irritation you cause to the ones around you. Tell a friend to stop you from this every time you plan to chew the gum. If not this then start feeling embarrassed by the sound that the gum creates, every time you blow it. The latter would be a better option.
Stop fidgeting : Some have the very bad habit of fidgeting with every single thing that they have and even if it is not theirs. This habit of your's could earn a bad name for yourself. Its always good to get out of it before things go out of hand. Try to get some hand exercise done something equal to tying up your hands for a long time. You will never prefer to fidget with things unnecessarily.
Be organized : When you try to do too many things at the same time, you end up doing nothing. To get good results in life you need to be organized. Planning is always necessary. If you do things without a prior planning, you end up being miserably confused and confusion gives you no good results. Maintain a time table. It's always good to surprise others but its not a good idea to surprise yourself.
Punctuality : This is probably the last thing that even successful people like to follow. Reaching late for an interview, office, exam, date and so many other things. But only if you had realized the importance of time, you could have achieved more than what you have today. Its always necessary to understand the importance of time. Time lost can never be got back. The best solution is to make your watch run fast and forget that you have done it. Also keep telling your self that ? things could have been better, if you had done it a little earlier.?
Procrastination : Stop being lazy and neglecting your work. You create a very bad impression about your self and people conclude that you are worth nothing. Understanding your strengths and working upon it is the best way to bid adieu to procrastination. Time management is yet another essential part.
You talk a lot : It's always good to speak up and express all that is there in your mind but take note that you don't talk too much to drive the other person mad. Gossiping to some is a way of socializing. Except your own shortcomings, you love talking about the whole world. Too much of gossiping makes people conclude that you are not worth trusting. You can get out of this habit of your's by simply getting insulted by somebody. The best would be if you are told by somebody that you have a lot of knowledge about other people's lives but you know nothing about what's going on in the world. This will not only make you stop gossiping but also help you a little with the general knowledge.
Not all habits are bad but not all of them are good too. There are many habits which we usually tend to overlook but these are the ones that make our life miserable. Nothing could help better than getting rid of them.
