The Shark

I think that it’s great for us to help someone else. But I don’t like when people use others to get what they want without giving back.

The great philosopher Andre Moreau once told me about a shark waiting under our happiness. The shark is lurking deep under your level of happiness. When you are living a happy moment, give a happy moment to others. If you don’t, then the shark comes from under, grab you and bring you back down into unhappy land.

“Help others and give something back. I guarantee you will discover that while public service improves the lives and the world around you, its greatest reward is the enrichment and new meaning it will bring your own life.”

 - Arnold Schwarzenegger

“The more credit you give away, the more will come back to you. The more you help others, the more they will want to help you.”

 - Brian Tracy

Give without any hope of getting anything back and you shall get 3 times what you gave.

Are you a Victim?

Are you addicted to being a victim?

When things go wrong, how do you react?

I Just read a good post by Henrik Edberg - How to move away from the victim mentality.

And I wonder how much of my friends and family fits into this mold. Me, I started to think that I was in charge a long time ago. A good friend, the great philosopher Andre Moreau (Website in French) gave me the tools to grow myself and learn to be in charge of my life.

I think that it's OK to make mistake. And that we have to learn from them. I think that it's always our choices that are the source of all we live. Sometimes, we're not making them consciously and think that we didn't had any responsibility in the result. When you become a victim, you attract the evenment to respond to your guts feeling.

Please, stop thinking that others are in charge of your life. Start to take responsibility for what you have and what you get everyday.
