When The Student Is Ready, The Teacher Will Appear

The saying "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear" suggests that when a person is willing to go on a new journey in life, then they will attract someone to them who will show them the way.

The Hero's Journey concept describes the phases a person goes through as they connect with their true nature, and who they really are. I remember when I finally decided that the results I was getting was not what I wanted and it needed to change, that I met my first teacher. And since that time, I have being going on different journey's and facing my challenges head-on.

Now, it is interesting to observe how people come to know me and what happens to them when they meet me for the first time. I recently had someone mention that it was no accident that they met me because they were ready for change. And it is so true that when a person is ready for change, the law of attraction will be working for them and they will receive what they need at that point in time.

Another thing I've come to realize is that people do not resist change. People resist being changed! People change all the time! People take on new habits, change jobs and relationships, change priorities etc. But people do resist being changed by someone else. This is because people want the freedom to make changes as they see fit. This is what life is all about! FREEDOM!

Being True To Your Values In Life - Survivor Style

I recently watched the series "Survivor: Fiji", as I'm originally from Fiji and I wanted to see what everyone on the show experienced. As the show reached its climax, there was a situation where one competitor, Yau-Man, after winning the car challenge, decided to make deal with another player, Dreamz. The deal was that if both Yau-man and Dreamz would make the final four and Dreamz would win the immunity challenge, then Dreamz would give the immunity necklace to Yau-man. Dreamz instantly agreed to as he had never owned a vehicle in his life.

As fate would have it, they both reached the final four and Dreamz did win the immunity challenge. At Tribal Council, when it came down to the crunch, Dreamz decided to keep the necklace and subsequently Yau-Man got voted off. The interesting thing to observe in the lead up to Tribal Council was how torn Dreamz was about the decision he had to make. His integrity was on the line and he wanted to portray himself as a role model. But he justified his decision by saying that it was only "a game". Dreamz was obviously very emotional about his decision as he wanted to win one million dollars.

What I learned from watching the events unfold was that in life, you have to be true to who you are at all time. It doesn't matter if it only a game. If I was in that situation, I would ask myself, "Is my integrity worth $1million?" My answer is that it is not because if you want to portray yourself as a leader, a person of integrity and a role model, then you have to walk your talk. Your core being is always on display which ultimately determines who you attract into your life.

The "That's Good" Theory

I recently listened to an audio program by Jack Canfield, where he suggested that if you want to find something good in any situation, stop and say "That's good." What we want to do is to not judge a situation but instead observe it for what it is. And almost always, when you ask a better quality question, you will get a better response.

What Jack Canfield is suggesting is to become aware of what you are focusing on in any situation. If you focus on the negative or the bad things of a situation, you will not be able to see the positive or good in it. As it was once said, every adversity brings with it the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit. By applying the "That's good" principle, your focus will immediately change and your brain will start to come up with answers as to why that perceived negative or bad situation is good. An aware person is able to observe an event or experience and then decide what needs to be done.

So the next time you're in a difficult situation, stop and say "That's good" and start looking for the good in it. You will find an answer you are looking for and most times, the good in the situation will surprise you.
