Probably, you are wondering what a cat can teach us ? Well, don’t underestimate these little furry animals that sometimes just sit there and stare at us…
They are quiet and secretive… but they know a little secret that helps them survive through their troubles.
At the end of this e-letter, I will also tell you about a simple mindset that can keep you happy and winning, no matter what happens…
Well, back to the cats and their survival secret, that has earned them the reputation of having 9 lives…
As you know, cats’ lives involve walking on high and narrow passes or jumping from one to another, like an acrobat…
Well, when you make such acrobatic moves your life, then your most frequent trouble in life would be falling, wouldn’t it?
Knowing that falling is their greatest trouble in life, cats have developed a skill to land on their feet no matter how they fall… even if they drop on their back…
When they fall, they just flip their hind legs to one side, so their front legs turn in the opposite side and touch the ground first…
So no matter how they fall, their front legs touch the ground first, not their back or head…
Cats have solved their biggest problem in their life by making it irrelevant…
They have made falling irrelevant… They don’t focus on the fall and how it happened… frankly, they don’t even care.
They have come to terms with the fact, that falling comes with their life so they don’t bother thinking why and how the fall happened…
They have accepted that falling happens when you jump around all the time… The only thing that they focus on is to make sure their front feet hit the ground first…
And that’s how they have become the survival champion.
Setbacks can happen. But no matter what, you should always focus on your goals and your desire and don’t bother why the setbacks happen.
Focus on your goals and desires and don’t dwell on setbacks, and you will land your on your feet every time.
That’s what the winners do. They take risks all the time…They jump around and walk the high and narrow passes like the cats, but they have made falling and setbacks irrelevant.
So what is the one mindset that can keep you happy and winning all the time? What is the mindset that makes setbacks irrelevant ?
Here it is…
“No matter what happens in your life, always believe that that was the best thing that could have happened in your life”
If you follow this mindset, you will always be happy. Period.
If you apply this mindset in your life, in time, you will find out that this is always true. I said “in time”, because it may not seem that way at first.
But, if you believe in it, in time, you will see that this mindset always proves to be true.
With this mindset, you make setbacks irrelevant, and always land on your feet, no matter what happens.
It may sound simple, but that is the greatest secret to peace and happiness.
Wish you happiness above all,
