What defines human life? Does thought, emotion, behavior, or environment define human life? Perhaps all of these factors? Are any of these factors related to success? If so, how?
Thoughts, Emotions, Behavior, & Environment
According to physics, a light beam consists of particles (photons) and waves. If you observe a light beam in a certain way, it appears to consist of particles.
According to the Old Testament, God created heaven and earth in seven days. Day one, God created light. Day two, He created sky. Day three, He created land, ocean, and vegetation. Day four, He created sun, moon, and stars. Day five, He created fish, birds, and whales. Day six, He created cattle, reptiles, wild animals, bugs, and humans. Day seven, He rested (Genesis 1:1-2:3).
Are perception or thought, behavior, and environment related? Does good perception or thought improve behavior, improving environment? Does bad perception or thought worsen behavior, worsening environment? Or is there a complete disconnect between these variables?
Perception Affects Behavior
Success, which is something so simple in the end, is made up of thousands of things, we never fully know what.
Habits consist of behaving, consisting of thinking. Thinking, behaving, and habits decide success or failure. Thinking, behaving, and habits are the cause; success or failure is the effect. Controlling your thinking, behaving, and habits, you control success. If you believe thoughtfully, giving behaviorally, persisting habitually, you are on the success track.
What causes failure? What is the solution? For years, I asked myself these questions; because I mostly failed. My failure pattern started in childhood. Riding the school bus, students teased and beat me regularly. "Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees . . . ," they rhymed mockingly at me interspersed with punches, slaps, and pokes. Chink and Jap became my names.
Public speaking is the most prevalent fear, I heard. And I believe it, because my acquaintances have this fear. However, people do not have the fear to the extent that I had. There were times where I, completely freezing at a scheduled speech, could not perform at all. But usually before this happens, I attempt to cancel the scheduled speech or not show up.
