Choosing Your Battles

19 Jul

Posted by Angie as Mindset, Personal Growth

I recently started posting my articles on EzineArticles.com and did a Google search to see if they are starting to get used online. I found something pretty humorous (since I tend to find the humor in situations that others may not see it.) Since I personally don't want to endorse a site that takes your articles and uses software to change it, I won't post the link here. What I will do is use the situation as an example of choosing your battles. Here's my article The Law of Attraction in Everyday Life as found on that website:

Many folk cringe when they hear "The Edict of Attraction." It's breathtaking how so multifarious mankind are conditioned to lasting their minds off to ideas that are absent of their realm of now thinking. It's those extremely crowd who testament endure equitable where they are and complain approximately how entity is handing them everything on the other hand what they absolutely want. One dialectics for such an occurrence: they animation life, flying by the seat of their pants instead of focusing on what they wish and why and thereupon doing something about it. Another reason: they dependable obtain their deeply rooted beliefs handed down to them as "just the conduct it is" without accepting that those beliefs may be faulty. Most humans catch it firm to question, let alone challenge, their thought system, thinking it "just has to be" by reason of the persons you cherish and gospel truth lay them there. Unfortunately, that can be a fatal mistake... Allow me to demonstrate why. In your life, what you are experiencing is the determination of your beliefs and the impulse you settle away there (where you target is the key.) Convert your beliefs, and your high spirits will most certainly change. I'm living research of that identical concept. I've come so far by learning about the Statute of Attraction and putting it into practice. As simplistic as it sounds, whether you seat on what you Thirst for instead of what you demand to AVOID, it's sensational how matters even-handed seem to exit improving over time. At first, it's not as noticeable, and then one hour you envisage how all the more your site has changed for the better. It has a imagination to sneak up on you. How would you close that big of modify in your life? I posses come to hold that fly speck happens accidentally and it's all a business of what we've created, if it's what we want, or the integrated opposite. It's all where we heart our compel and attention... When you be learned WHAT you demand and spotlight your pressure on it (because of the WHY,) the HOW seems to generate its path to you... Sometimes it shows up in the most charismatic way. Due let the HOW grip interest of itself. You fair-minded include to let it drive and differentiate you'll prompt it however accord up worrying about the how. I once heard this example: You're in a restaurant. You be schooled what you want. You bequeath your order. Think about it: You don't sit and fear about HOW that food's going to entertain prepared and come to you. You aloof comprehend it will and don't comprehend about it until it arrives. What a abundant system of comparing it! I own started an experiment... I was listening to a party by Michael Losier, a phenomenal Constitution of Attraction teacher. He stated you should block using the words, no, not and don't. I had never notion about it before, nevertheless everyone of those automatically headquarters on the antipodal of what you want. How incredible is that info? Think about it - you can eliminate a group of your incorrect focal point by simply eliminating three contents from your vocabulary. My first off cogitation for the later sentence was, "It's not as manageable as it may sound," thereby cementing that especial statement. A variation could be, "It may sound easier than it actually is." See the difference? It definitely takes some adjustment, and you'll capture yourself slipping. However, once you be remodelled aware of it, you will open to alter the road you consider about things and thereby phrase them differently. Takings the objection and peep provided you can grip yourself and redirect your thoughts. How close you quarters your life? One impression at a time. Make your ensuing doctrine your headmost transaction toward the go you in truth want. You're definitely price it. 2008 Angie Lay. All Rights Reserved.

Let me just say one thing... If I said THAT, then I'm definitely losing it!!! Seriously, though... There is a lesson to be learned here.

I can choose to:

Be upset that someone used an article spinner to "make it unique" and not my original words
Be upset that they didn't include my site link (which is part of the rules of using the articles)
Be upset that someone may think I'm a crappy writer after viewing the article
Be upset that people just can't take the articles as they are and use them

Notice the theme there???

Or I can choose to:

Find the humor in it (which it IS pretty funny if you think about it)
Be grateful they chose my article to "spin" so to speak
Be grateful for the exposure (hey, maybe people will search for my real article)
Be grateful that they at least kept my name in there
Understand that most people will realize I didn't write it that way

As usual, it's all about the way you choose to look at things that happen to you in life. You have that choice, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and that's something that you own. No one can take that away from you. EVER. And if you ever forget that, just remember the immortal words I never spoke: Make your ensuing doctrine your headmost transaction toward the go you in truth want. You're definitely price it.
