Have you ever noticed which types of person become successful, and who doesn’t become successful, in this life?
One night I was watching and listening to someone pulling someone else apart, using strong hateful speech. Such enmity and bitterness quite shocked me. It was so unkind, untrue and hurtful.
It made me stop, think and examine the state of affairs.
I realized then:
- Malicious people are actually insecure and try hide it, by been boldly spiteful and always bitching and criticizing others. You could obviously see they had turned out to be Losers.
- And the opposite: Cheerful kind helpful people are generally Winners and successful people, in some way or other.
To verify this thought, I started thinking of certain people I knew who could possibly `fit the bill’.
- And sure enough, the mean people were now poor and lonely.
- And the… full of fun and laughter types, were doing well in life and were well liked.
The next day I was talking to my husband about this,
And he said, “Come to that, you’ll right!” And he went on to tell me about certain situations in the trainee army camp where he once attended. He said:
- Men who shouted the odds and bullied others, they were sour and could never say a kind thing to or about anyone… They were avoided and had no friends.
- But the ones who laughed a lot, did fun things or didn’t meanly gossip, always had crowds around them. In fact he remembers how he met one of those jolly fellows’ years later, and how this bloke was still happy, had a great farm and was very wealthy.
I also brought up this theory, to a friend of mine:
And she said, she knew of a woman that had married a rich man and lived in a lovely posh home, but was somewhat critical of others.
As is often the case, once people accumulate riches they become critical, especially of those not as rich as them. It seems, even all the money in the world can’t make insensitive people happy!
Happy people:
- Are those who realize it’s up to themselves, to make themselves happy… No one else can do it for them. It’s your attitude to life that counts.
- Those who love others, for themselves, as they are… have better relationships.
- And those who act happy and love others… are contented, do better and go further in life.
What is your spin on this?
- What have you noticed?
- Do you have examples of people that `fit this bill’ too?
- What are your impressions and stories?
