You are treated the way you teach others to treat you

I remember listening to an audio seminar by Wayne Dyer that goes by the title "Secrets of the Universe". In that audio seminar, he spoke of, well, the secret of the universe (duh). Okay, actually he was speaking about one of the key factors that leads to success and fulfillment. And that is we are treated at present the way we taught others to treat us in the past.

After listening to that audio, ponder about some things that we like to complain about, such as, "he thinks that I'm stupid", "you're treating me like a fool", "I am not your slave", etc. We rarely stop, think and consider what have we been doing in the past that led us to being treated in such a way in the present. Because what built us today are the actions in the past, and what build our tomorrow are the actions we take today. If we want to be treated the way we wanted, stop blaming on externalities, and start working on yourself (these are the words of Jim Rohn). Make yourself deserving of the treatment you wanted, and teach others to treat you the way you deserved.

So how do we actually do that? Well, first of all you need to do a lot of self-reflecting. What have I done that I could have done better? Don't feel guilty about it, but rather, be hopeful about it. The next time I face the same situation, I'm reacting a positive reaction to it. And visualize that you're in that situation, reacting to it in a manner you would like best.

What if you have no idea what went wrong? Just visualize how you would like to be treated, and find out what it takes to be treated in such a way. To be respected, you need to respect others. To be acknowledged, you need to acknowledge others and do things that are acknowledgeable. To be recognized, you need to do things that gives you recognition; take professional classes, participate in community service, anything that you love to do. Just do it better and with more passion. That will earn you the right to be treated the way you deserved.

Dr Wayne also tells us that we should stop saying, "could have, would have, should have", because they don't change anything. And that fear is something that we choose. Anxiety is something that does not exist, therefore it cannot give you an attack. He teaches that all the limiting factors in our lives are there because we choose to have them there. And to make them go away, we just have to see the benefits or opportunities we can get from them.

I believe that my words alone are not enough to describe his principles. Therefore I've uploaded the audio files for you to enjoy and share with others. Have fun ^_^.
