The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and the world are invented. So instead of continuing to live a disempowering narrative about how the world is against you, invent an empowering story that provides you meaning and enhances the quality of your life.As it’s all invented anyway, so we might as well invent a story or a framework of meaning that enhances our quality of life and the life of those around us.

It’s All Invented Anyways!

Every problem, every dilemma, every dead end we find ourselves facing in life, only appears unsolvable inside a particular frame or point of view. Enlarge the box, or create another frame around the data, and problems vanish, while new opportunities appear.If you’re stuck with a seemingly unsolvable problem, flip the script. Try to see the problem through a new lens. More often than not, the problem will vanish and new opportunities will shine through.

Flip The Script

<ul><li>When you’re in a bad place, go through the above series of questions. Start moving your mind through a pattern that will help you get to a new set of beliefs and choices.</li><li>When you start seeing the world as a place of abundance, instead of a place of scarcity, you can begin to experience the emotions that make being a human so amazing – joy, awe, passion, and compassion.</li></ul>

Choose Your Starting Place

Resources and opportunities flourish when you generously include people in your passion for life. In orienting yourself towards abundance, you open up a new world of possibility in which you take bigger risks, pursue your dreams, and accept that you cannot always predict the outcome.You may give away short-term profits in pursuit of a bigger dream; you may take a long view without being able to predict the outcome. In the measurement world, you set a goal and strive for it. In the universe of possibility, you set the context and let life unfold.

Just Take Right Action And Let Life Unfold

Imagine that you graded all of the people in your life. Think about the way the grade you give influences your willingness to listen and appreciate that person. You’ll notice that giving people an “A,” instead of a lower grade, will provide you with a greater capacity to listen, understand, and appreciate that person. So instead of judging quickly and jumping to potentially false conclusions, give everyone you meet an A to start.

Give people an A Grade

Your success and fear of failure go hand-in-hand. Instead of being paralyzed by your fears, find ways to overcome them. When you can do this, you can use your <a href="https://calvinrosser.com/how-to-use-fear-as-fuel-for-growth/">fear as fuel for your growth</a>.If you want to give back, don’t worry too much about the outcome. Start giving back, and you’ll find that your contribution operates like a pebble in a pond. It will send positive ripples in all kinds of unexpected directions.

Success And Fear

Too many people spend their time calculating their moves and believing the world is a scarce, scary, and cruel place. Often, our calculations are related to our childhood, where we form habits based on what we are recognized for. These habits carry into adulthood, and many of them are limiting beliefs and practices that prevent us from operating at our highest point of contribution.

We Are Living Based On Obsolete Calculations

Instead of living under the illusion that you can control all of the outcomes in your life, adopt a more fluid perspective. Imagine that your journey in the river of life comes with all kinds of joy and challenges. Be open to all of those experiences. And instead of resisting the river and missing the joy, just float down it gracefully.

The River

Being present isn’t the same as accepting the negative parts of your situation in a resigned manner. You can’t eliminate the negative in your life fully. But you can meet negative emotions with less resistance, and in doing so, you can be more present with your reality and more easily let go of these experiences that will certainly pass.

Presence Is Positive, Resigned Acceptance Is Not

The more attention you shine on a particular subject, the more evidence of it will grow.If you focus on the negative in your life, it will flourish. But if you instead focus on the positive parts of your experience that you can be grateful for, you will find that life is a lot lighter than the alternative path.

What You Focus On, Grows

The Life Force for humankind is, perhaps, nothing more or less than the passionate energy to connect, express, and communicate. Enrollment is that life force at work, lighting sparks from person to person, scattering light in all directions. Sometimes the sparks ignite a blaze; sometimes they pass quietly, magically, almost imperceptibly, from one another to another.

Your Life Force 

When you accept responsibility for everything in your life, you are free to choose an empowering response that will allow you to conquer challenges and embrace opportunities.
Gracing yourself with responsibility for everything that happens in your life leaves your spirit whole, and leaves you free to choose again.

Take Responsibility

Setting a vision for yourself can help you separate from the local and day to day noise. It can give you a guiding light to keep working towards.A vision releases us from the weight and confusion of local problems and concerns and allows us to see the long clear line. A vision becomes a framework for possibility when it meets certain criteria that distinguish it from the objectives of the downward spiral.

In their playing you hear not only precision, color and balance, but thunder, lightning and the language of the heart. This is what the Boston Globe said about a performance by conductor Benjamin Zander with the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, but it could apply equally to the Zanders' inspirational book, the product of a synthesis of the diverse worlds of the symphony orchestra and cutting-edge psychology. The Art of Possibility offers a set of breakthrough practices for creativity in all human enterprises. Infused with the energy of their dynamic partnership, the book joins together Ben's extraordinary talent as a mover and shaker, teacher, and communicator, with Rosamund Stone Zander's genius for creating innovative paradigms for personal and professional fulfillment. In lively counterpoint, the authors provide us with a deep sense of the powerful role that the notion of possibility can play in every aspect of our lives. The Zanders' deceptively simple practices are based on two premises: that life is composed as a story ("it's all invented") and that, with new definitions, much more is possible than people ordinarily think. The book shifts our perspective with uplifting stories, parables, and anecdotes from the authors' personal experiences as well as from famous and everyday heroes. From "Giving an A," to the mysterious "Rule Number 6," to "Leading from Any Chair"-the account of Ben's stunning realization that the conductor/leader's power is directly linked to how much greatness he is willing to grant to others-each practice offers an opportunity for personal and organizational transformation. The Art of Possibility provides a life-altering approach to fulfilling dreams large and small. The Zanders invite us all to become passionate communicators, leaders, and performers whose lives radiate possibility into the world.Rosamund Stone Zander is a family therapist and a landscape painter. Benjamin Zander is the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra and a professor at the New England Conservatory of Music. Based on the principles developed through the authors' unique partnership, Mr. Zander gives presentations to managers and executives around the world and Ms. Zander conducts workshops for organizations on practicing the art of possibility.

Social media and self-help books make the hustle culture look easy. They use the dopamine of positivity to make you think you can carry on non-stop without thinking. But our vision often doesn’t align with the result. The self-helps keep rubbing your face about how working hard can help you get the rich level of Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos, but they don't tell that they only got super-rich in their 40s-50s. They did work hard and smart, but they had many failures and obstacles to overcome.

Hustle culture can lead to burnout

Self-helps are often repetitive copy-paste works from other books, but self-help can't copy-paste philosophy. Philosophy questions the subject to get a clearer answer instead of just touching the surface. They question the what, when, where, who, why, and how. Philosophy can save you from accepting blindly what people might call "great" or "you need to buy this". It can save you from blind preaching too.

Philosophy encourages critical thinking

“He (CS Lewis) taught me to look deeper into the millstone than simply the surface. Everything that comes across in life should be examined, not simply accepted. And that includes religion and personal problems.”

Once you have exposed yourself to some philosophy, it's easier to spot the many self-help ads or self-validating posts on social media. Most people on social media use it for the notifications or to be influencers by showing flashy or luxurious objects. But the truth is that if you want to spot the real businessman, you have to look for older people or people who are humble. From their stories, it is clear that they have been through a lot of stuff and had to swallow their pride.

Philosophy helps you to pull the reins of blind grinding and preaching

In the nineteenth century, a tiny community from the deserts of Rajasthan spread out to every corner of India. The Marwaris controlled much of the country’s inland trade by the time of the First World War. They then turned their hand to industry and, by the 1970s, owned most of India’s private industrial assets. Today, Marwari businessmen account for a quarter of the Indian names on the Forbes billionaires list.// What makes the Marwaris so successful? Is it their indomitable enterprise, or their incredible appetite for risk? In this new book, Thomas Timberg shows how the Marwaris rely on a centuries-old system for conserving and growing capital which has stood them in good stead, alongside a strong sense of business ethics which has earned them respect.// Family businesses in general and the Marwaris in particular might have a vital role to play in shaping India’s economic future.

How far to the top? “You will reach by evening.”, it was only 10.30a.m. 🤨“Some said 5–6 , some said by 4–5” .Then some one says 2–3 and some one finally said “1.30, you guys are making quick time.”The small note of encouragement put a spring to our feet.

One step at a time, take immediate action not overwhelmed by large goals.The mountain on the whole looks daunting. But when you think I will take 10 steps and see. And then you take 10 steps. When the 10 steps will tough, you say let’s take one step and see. And we literally did this, as we reached top steep parts of trek we took 2 steps and stopped, then other two steps. But we kept going.

Big Goals, small actions 

Stop, take a deep breath and look back. Soak in where you are, plan again where you want to go. Look at the last once unsurmountable point on the mountain, now seems like a distant victory. Then look around, soak in where you have reached and then look at the next unsurmountable peak and remind yourself, you will conquer it.

You will reflect, I had my moments of doubt but I did it. This is far beyond my physical capacity, this was my initial thought. I was wrong.

Life Lessons from a Mountain Trek

Our birth is out there in space-time. Our death, too, is in space-time. Every moment of our lives is out there, somewhere, in space-time.So says the block universe model of our world.According to the block universe theory, the universe is a giant block of all the things that ever happen at any time and at any place. On this view, the past, present and future all exist — and are equally real.

Everything Everywhere All at Once

How can this be?The block has four dimensions: three spatial dimensions — say length, height and width — plus a fourth temporal dimension, or time. Or let's make it easier, by visualising the block model of our world as a three-dimensional rectangle, or cuboid.

The Block

Two of that cuboid's dimensions (let's say height and width) represent two of the universe's three spatial dimensions.Leave out the third spatial dimension in the above diagram (the length) —and replace it with time. At one end of the cuboid is the big bang. At the other is the very last moment of the universe. Maybe it's a big crunch.The cuboid is filled with every event that ever happens. Where these events are in the cuboid represents their location in space-time. All events, including your birth and death, and this very moment as you read these words, exist somewhere in the block.

*All* Of Time And Space

It often seems as though where we are "today" is present, and "yesterday" is past, and "tomorrow" is future.It also seems the present moment changes too — after all, tomorrow it will seem as though tomorrow is present, and yesterday it appeared yesterday was present!So from our perspective, it appears that time flows or passes. But in the block universe model, time doesn't flow.In other words, in a block universe, there is no specific present moment, and "past" and "future" moments are relative.

In The Block Universe, Time Doesn't Pass

Think about the idea of "here". I am here. You, while reading this, can truly say "I am here", even though your "here" is different to mine.On the block universe model, talk about the "present" or "now" works just like talk of "here".Remember last week when you said to your friend, who was late arriving for coffee, "now you're here"; or when, long ago, Caesar said, "I am now crossing the Rubicon"?These claims are both true. That's because all it means to talk about the present, or now, is to talk about the place in time where you happen to be.

The “Now” And The “Here”

Since we are always located wherever we are (that's trivially true), everyone is located in the present, just as everyone is located at the place they call “here”.According to the block universe view, time or temporal relations of “earlier than” and “later than” exist. These relations hold regardless of where anyone is located.So, suppose Bert the dinosaur is located earlier than Sally the dog. That relation between Bert and Sally holds, regardless of whether we are located earlier than Bert or later than Sally.

“Earlier Than” And “Later Than”

Bearing this in mind, it is possible to see how to make sense of the idea of past and future. Just as on this model “now” picks out whatever time I happen to be located at, “past” picks out any time (or events at those times) that are earlier than my location, and “future” picks out any times or events that are later than my location.

Location, Location, Location

If time is just another dimension, a lot like the spatial dimensions, does that mean we can travel in time?The short answer is yes.Of course, things are way more complicated than that. Travelling in time is clearly much more difficult than travelling in space. It might be very technologically costly to time travel, so perhaps it's not really something that, practically speaking, we can do.But it's certainly possible.

Does That Mean We Can Travel In Time

We already know that travelling very fast will result in time dilation, so we know it's possible to travel into the future just by travelling very fast.We can travel quite a way into the future if we can travel at some reasonable percentage of the speed of light. We also know how to travel into the past. We can do that by using wormholes, which are short cuts through space-time.

Speed: Light. Route: Wormhole. 

No. That would create a contradiction, and there are no contradictions.Remember, on the block universe model, the past is no different than the future or the present.Everything is relative: what is past to us, will be future to someone else.

So, If We Can Travel In Time, Can We Change The Past?

We’ll get out of our time machine and start walking around. We’ll breathe the air and chat to people.Obviously, this will have effects on the time we travel to. We’ll tread on ants; we’ll talk to people from that time; we’ll pat horses, and feed donkeys and so on.We’ll act, in the past, in the sorts of ways we act in the present. But we won't be changing the past. Just as when we eat cornflakes instead of toast tomorrow we am not changing the future, we’re just making the future the way it is, when we travel to the past we don't change it, we just make it the way it is, and always has been.

What Will Happen If We Travel To The Past?

Let's recap.What we do tomorrow makes tomorrow the way it is, and the way it always has been. What we do in the past makes the past time the way it is, and always has been.If we travel to the past, we are part of the past. Importantly, we were always part of the past.The events in the block are there for all time: they do not change. So, as a time traveller, it's not as though we suddenly appear at a past time. It's always been the case that we were located at that past time.

Confused yet?

Nothing a time traveller does changes anything in the block. Instead, what the traveller does at any time makes that time, and later times, the way they are.That means that we know that some things we attempt to do in the past, fail. We know that Hitler rose to power in the 1930s, so we know that if our time travelling future selves try to prevent this from happening, they fail.But that doesn't show that our time traveling selves don't succeed in doing lots of things in the past. For all we know, the reason the past is the way it is, is in part due to the presence of time travelers.

Making The Past, The Past. Keyword: *Making*

Would you time-travel just to make things as they are, if you could not change things as they are? Not really a question. 

The block universe theory says the past, present and future all exist — and are equally real — in a four-dimensional block where the passing of time is an illusion.

Life is all about how we deal with circumstances, how we act and react to the corresponding situations. For a better life we need to work upon our skills and that seems not easy at all! For a better life here are the 8 rules that you must follow for a happy and a successful life.

8 Short Of Rules For A Better Life 

Being calm in every situation is not as easy as we think, having a calm nature is the most rare thing that one can have. Being calm in every situation makes you wise, mysterious helps you in making wise decisions, makes you more attractive among others. One of the major benefits of being calm is that it helps you in taking quick and wise decisions.  In a world that's Full of negative energy, anxiety and depression it's important to take care of our mind as well as of our body.

1. Always stay calm

Second most important rule for a better life is not to compare yourself with others. I often see many people on social media comparing their life with others. Comparison is just an illusion ; everything lies within our brain and being compared with someone is the worst thing. Stop comparing yourself to others, it's your life, it's you vs you not you vs others.

2. No comparison with others

Motivation can't lead you where discipline can, it's the biggest changing asset that can change your life. Being <a href="https://inspirationalblogs45.blogspot.com/2022/03/Discipline%20-vs-Motivation%20.html">disciplined </a> can lead you a great and a successful life.

3. Be disciplined

Everything has a price whether it's a material or a non material thing. We work because we want results, we work because we want success, that's actually our main motto. But this doesn't work every time, success comes with sacrifices and struggles and believe me when you forget about success while working for your goals then note that you are successful. Don't think about what will happen next, just think about what you can do now.

4. Forget about result just focus on process

We all have been taught to just focus on success, how to achieve our goals, how to be rich but nobody has taught us about failures. Failures are life lessons, failures indicate that we are trying.  While working for goals don't be afraid to fail, don't be afraid of failures, just learn from them and bounce back once again. Life is meant to rule the world not be a slave of this world.

5. Don't be afraid to lose

Sometimes it's not between you and others it's between you and you. Sometimes we have to make quick decisions during tough times.  If you are in a situation where you can't decide what's the perfect option then listen to your inner voice. Listen to what your inner voice says because it will never disappoint you.

6. Listen what your inner voice says

Better life comes when we urge to do better and that's the point where most of us fail.  Personality development must be your priority. Develop yourself, come up with new skills, focus on your weakness and build new strength. Smartphones must be your biggest enemy while you are working for your goals. You need to be very crucial about your plans. Remember one thing: don't waste your time for just a couple of enjoyment.

7. Say no to smartphone & Yes to personality development

If you want to live a happy life then stay neutral whether you're happy or sad. Being neutral helps you in dealing with situations as you can come up with new responses and can stay calm in tough times.

8. Stay Neutral

Everybody wants a better life but nobody wants to work for it. Believe in yourself, improve yourself, develop new skills and you are ready. That's all  Good day:)
