I met with a friend, a professor, that is one of the most intelligent people I know, but unfortunately, he constantly worries about the future and complains about any and everything – a useless combination. I use to be one of those constant complainers. I would say things like, “the government is out to get us”, “we’ve been lucky so far with the swine flu, but it’s on its way, better get your flu shot” and “you wouldn’t believe the horrible weekend I had, it was one thing after another.” My friend’s internal dialogue is intertwined with fear, worry and doubt. The other night my friend, nonchalantly, asked me to have a drink with him. I told him I was busy, which I was but, even if I wasn’t busy, I would’ve refused the drink.
For one thing, I don’t drink alcohol, and for another, I stay away from people who manifest fear and doubt.
The Professor’s internal dialogue ensures his unhappiness. Until my peer changes his inner voice, he will continue to go through life unhappy. My friend’s intelligence doesn’t make certain his happiness. If you’re thinking why I don’t help him, then you’re missing my point. I can’t help him, he needs to help himself. The professor needs to be a light to him before he attains happiness. He needs to walk his own path, good or bad, as do we all. He obviously has lessons to learn, otherwise, the same things wouldn’t be happening to him over and over again.
Constantly talking and thinking about fear and doubt will assuredly bring those things into your life. The Professor is a prime example of manifestation. He constantly focuses on the negative side of life and that’s what he usually gets. As I was walking away from our meeting I thought to myself, “Being intelligent has nothing to do with being happy.”
Have a great day and God Bless.
