Because Ideas Change Lives
Ok, this might not be “the most valuable”, but if there’s one Filipino proverb that I love, it’s this: “Kapag gusto, maraming paraan; kapag ayaw, maraming dahilan.” If you want something, you’ll find many ways to achieve it. If you don’t really want it, you’ll find many excuses. That lesson is the first step to possibility thinking, and learning to apply it is key to achieving more in life. Keep reading to learn why.
Itinanong ni Orison Swett Marden kung ano ang iisipin mo tungkol sa isang prinsipe, ang tigapagmana ng isang mayamang kaharian, na tumakas mula sa palasyo para mabuhay nang naghihirap dahil iniisip niya na hindi siya bibigyan ng kahit anong pamana. Noong nakausap mo ang prinsipeng iyon, nakita mo na kahit binibigyan siya ng kayamanan, pagkain, at mabuting tahanan ng kanyang ama, itinataboy lahat ito ng prinsipe at sabay nagrereklamo siya na minamalas lang talaga siya.
Malamang iisipin mo baka nababaliw na ata ang prinsipeng iyon.
Sa kasamaang palad, marami sa atin ang nabubuhay katulad niya. Nakakakuha tayo ng napakaraming oportunidad at idea, pero iniisip natin na hindi natin sila pwedeng gamitin o hindi tayo karapat-dapat na makagamit sa kanila. Ang iba rin sa atin, iniisip na “banal” ang maghirap.
Dapat kalimutan na natin ang ganoong pagiisip. Narito ang tatlong dahilan kung bakit karapat-dapat tayong mabuhay nang mayaman at masagana.
Orison Swett Marden asked what you would think of a prince, the heir to a wealthy kingdom and the child of a generous king, who runs away from the castle to live in suffering and poverty because he wrongly thinks that his father won’t leave him with anything. When you meet that prince, you see that no matter how much his father tries to give him some wealth, food, and a good home, the prince refuses all of it then turns around to complain about all his “bad luck”.
You’d probably think that the prince was insane or something.
Unfortunately, a lot of us live like that prince. Life gives us all sorts of opportunities and ideas, but we wrongly think that we can’t or we don’t deserve to use them. Some of us also think that it’s “noble” to suffer in poverty for some reason.
It’s time to get rid of that way of thinking. Here are three reasons why we actually deserve to be wealthy and prosperous.

Ang isang mahalagang aral na natutunan ko mula sa napakaraming self-improvement books ay magiging napakahirap umasenso at magtagumpay sa buhay kung hindi natin kayang isipin at asahan na magtatagumpay nga tayo sa mga gusto nating gawin. Sa kasamaang palad, para sa karamihan sa atin, ang ating negatibong pag-iisip ay nakahahadlang sa atin. Sa librong Dynamic Laws of Prosperity ni Catherine Ponder, may bahagi doon na tinatawag na “Your Ten Lucky Steps” o ang iyong sampung maswerteng hakbang, at ang mga iyon ay makakatulong sa iyong makamit ang pagiisip na makakapagbigay ng pag-asenso.
Paguusapan natin ang sarili nating salin ng sampung hakbang dito at pwede mo silang subukan. Oo nga pala, kapag gusto mong basahin ang orihinal na bersyon at ang buong kabanata sa libro, pwede mong bilihin ang libro ni Catherine dito sa link na ito.

One major lesson I’ve learned from so many self-improvement books is that it’ll be very difficult for us to earn financial and personal success unless we are able to think about and expect to succeed at what we want to do. It’s quite unfortunate that, for most of us, our negative mentality can hold us back. In Catherine Ponder’s Dynamic Laws of Prosperity book, there is a section called “Your Ten Lucky Steps”, and those steps are designed to help you achieve a mind destined for abundance.
We’ll discuss our version of the ten steps here, so you can try them out yourself. Also, if you want to read the original version as well as the whole chapter, you can buy Catherine’s book here.
