It’s Not What Appears
Writen by Andres Lara on December 09, 2008
Appearances can be deceiving. Just because things right now are not looking good, it doesn’t mean that things are bad.
You must learn to distinguish between appearances and what’s taking place. For instance, everyday, it appears as though the sun rises and sets, but what transpires is something different...earth moves and the sun is still.
Keep in mind that you live in a world where reality is created by perceptions and not by what it's actually occurring.
“Regardless of what appears to be taking place right now...you are making progress, you are getting closer to your goals, you are making wise decisions.” ~Andres Lara
Exercise:
Mistakes make you wiser: Think of one occasion where you made a move in the past that at that time seemed like a big mistake but in retrospect, as you now look back...it wasn’t that big of a mistake after all. Write down a few of those experiences
Meditate on great things that came from them:. Meditate on the great things that did come into your life because of these past occurrences which in the past you wished that they never happened to you.
Don’t wait till tomorrow...be at peace today: A few years down the line you will realize that what happened somehow was exactly what needed to happen in order for you to become who you need to become. Why not come to this realization now.....so you can be at peace with what’s taking place today.
React positively: Start by saying to yourself “I am making progress, I am getting closer to my goals, I am making wise decisions.” Say this to yourself even when you feel otherwise. For the very act of saying this will make you see how true these statements are.

one of tthe mistake i made was when i had misunderstanding with my girl friend.i really love her,but because misconduct,i decided to leave her for her friend whom i didn't really love in the first place.due to this, i no longer have access to this girl,yet i love.
however,i have learn to leave with what i can not change and to love the new girl.
my advise is that people should not be too sentimental when they are making decision.
i have learn from my own mistake and such can never occur again.
thank you.

Iv been building my business for the last few months and I have lots of family and friends telling me how bad things are with the economy and why do I bother with my business. What I realized is its just an appearances like you said CubanGuy, see you wouldn't know that the sun is still and the earth moves in till you see it from space, so some times you need to look at things from a different spot. See I tell my friends and family that right now is the best time to start a company because people will work any where and do any thing even for less pay. So sometimes to see whats actually occurring you might just have to take a risk or move forward from where you are. By moving forward in-spite of appearances is what gets me closer to my goals and the truths start to come out.
Thanks CubanGuy..............
