Met a long lost friend

I went to an engagement ceremony this evening at a neighbour's house. Among the many guests, I met an old friend who was a very high flyer corporate figure. Like me, he had worked for a very important and profitable government owned public listed company and for unknown reasons was replaced by another appointee. From that day there was a complete absence of news about him.

Since we had gone through about the same harrowing experience, I ventured to ask him how he had coped with the stress of the monumental change in life style. His formulae was similar to what is preached by Anthony Robbins in his two books, Awaken the Giant Within and Unlimited Power, specifically on mind control. How we perceive what happens to us depends on the state of our minds. We can infact attune our minds to turn negative events that happen to us to appear positive.

Life is so full of surprises and most people suffer greatly when they cannot cope with the unfairness that they have to endure in their lives. How can we help to prepare people to develop an ability to control their minds like my long lost friend. I did not and I suffered.
