The RH bill is such a hot topic
right now in the Philippines but can it really have that much effect on this
country as the majority of the people think it will? I am Pro-betterment to
anything that this society really needs. I am by all means unqualified to say
which is better for us all because all I know and understand about the people
who oppose the bill is the punishment of all souls in the afterlife when this
bill gets pushed talk about the centuries of Roman influence in the world, the
empire might have been extinct but the influence is still there controlling the
world and our so-called free-will.
RH bill tries to solve poverty by
minimizing the population thus minimizing the costs; your income can fit your
expenses, etc. etc. Will that really help this country???
Think about that question and
answer before you proceed reading.
I have this thought about writing
this because of something great I learned last week that I first heard of in my
entire 26years of existence: "Your income is primarily determined by your
philosophy not the economy". Something clicked in me why has this not been
taught in school, pre-school, elementary, high school and college I bet you
have never heard this in school in formal education. I continued searching and
searching what is this philosophy, I watch the news listen to random people,
all I hear is how the government isn't really doing anything to help the
masses. What do the people really think? As I continued searching more on the
positive side, successful people and motivational people and found the
philosophy: "Success is something you attract by becoming an attractive
person, it is not something you pursue". The economy can't be changed by
one person but one person can change his/her own philosophy.
Seems deep thinking, I want to
know more about it, I continued my journey to change myself to be the best I
can be, its not about me becoming better than others but becoming better versus
the current me. My search pointed me to T Harv Eker the author of the popular
book Secrets of a Millionaire mind. He said that our mind is set to a
particular level of success like a thermostat. Imagine an air conditioner set
to a particular degree of temperature of 30 degrees inside your car. If it is
really hot outside the temperature inside your car will become hot but somehow
after sometime the thermostat will bring back the temperature to 30 degrees same
situation when it’s colder outside, it will warm you inside back to 30 degrees.
We all have this thermostat within ourselves.
We all have different thermostats
in particular areas of our lives, maybe the best example to look at our
financial thermostat have you ever noticed that no matter how many increases
you have per year or per promotion after several months your savings stays the
same? Add an additional source maybe a sideline job why is that your money
stays the same? Give this thought sometime and think about it because it is
scary very REAL!
So what is this thermostat
really, what is it in our lives? Ask yourself who you are, are you content in
your life, do you want more, what do you think about your physical body, what
do you believe in, describe yourself and your wants, what are the things
important to you, what are things that are not important to you, do you have
those? Give it a few minutes and think about those things.
Do you see its our own standards,
Tony Robbins one of the best if not the best motivational coaches of our time
said the strongest driving force inside us human beings is to maintain who and
what we think we are. If you are a smoker have you ever tried to quit? And you
quit after a few days or weeks and you suddenly you are back lighting a
cigarette? I bet deep inside during the time you quit you really think you are
a smoker and that is who you are. Yes or yes? Ever seen the biggest loser TV
show about how some of the contestants who lost massive weight but found themselves
fat again after a while? What do you think is their standard? Who do you think
they believe they are? Ever heard if repeat criminals, who no matter how many
times they get imprisoned get back to their wrong ways? Here is a popular
common story, rags to riches to rags, how many lottery winners find themselves
poor again after a year or 2 after they won hundreds of millions? How about
riches to rags to riches, yes its true just look at Donald Trump how he lost it
all and became even richer than ever. Here is a funny one, if you have more
than one relationship in your life boyfriend/girlfriend wise, have you seen a
pattern on what kind of person they are, what kind of person you attract in
your life?
Our standards bring us the
strongest fighting force inside ourselves to fight to maintain who and what we
think we are. By now you should feel excited as I have felt when I found out
about this. The change we really need is not found in the world we are living
in, not the economy not the government not the politics but inside us because
no matter what situation or season we are in our thermostat setting will pull
us back where we should be. Think about what you wear during different seasons
summer, rainy, winter, fall, spring if you are all over the world, we naturally
change clothing according to the season to adapt to our comfort and maintain in
that way until the season changes again. We all have it inside ourselves to
change our standards, our thermostat. We should all aim higher no matter how
hard you think your goals are if you aim it that way chances are you hit it or
near it. Let us strive to aim high because if we aim low there is ZERO percent
chance that we hit something higher than our target.
So how does this connect to the
RH bill, simple the RIGHT EDUCATION. The government tries to pass the RH bill
so the youth can learn about sex education and in my opinion if the students
have sex education have a higher chance of learning and preventing something we
don't want at all to happen versus if the youth don't have this education. Same
thing with other subjects, we can't have mathematicians if we don’t have
mathematics, we can't have engineers, scientists etc. if we don’t have science
as a subject, no accountants if we don’t have accounting, and so on and so
forth. What am I trying to say really, I am saying that the youth should have a
mindset subject, this subject is so dangerous that if we teach this as early as
pre-school this country will have the most millionaires and billionaires and
heck maybe even trillionaires in the future. It should be a LAW to open the
minds of the youth as early as we can to aim higher in life that is the most
powerful thing that will pull us up. It will adjust our thermostat. It will
make our standards high and maybe we will all be happy and living long
altogether!
Now you might think not everybody
will be rich and successful at the things we want when this is taught to us all
yes that is correct! It is as correct as not everybody becomes scientists when
they learn science, not everybody becomes pilots when they enter flight school,
not everybody becomes businessmen in business school but it increases the
chance we become one if we are AWARE!
We need to be aware of our
thermostat because we have the POWER to adjust our life thermostat according to
our dreams so it becomes goals and soon a REALITY!
