Conspiracy Theories by Jongo

That'll get people's attention huh?

Oh no, we've lost Jongo!

He's wearing his tin foil hat, we can it in the distance. Looks like he's about to go over the edge....

Hey, I'm not saying there isn't some crazy things that happen in this world, but tonight's post isn't about...The powers that be, trying to get one over on you. I'm going to flip it thanks to something I learned years ago...

If you have dove into any personal success or positive thinking books you'll know the name....

W. Clement Stone.

He's the author of "Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude" which to some is the greatest work ever written in success thinking and personal development.

Anyways, Mr. Stone came up with this theory called....Inverse Paranoid!

And the thinking to this theory goes like this, of course I'm paraphrasing his work here but you'll under stand what he means quite easily.

Instead of the world is out to get you, he argues that the world is actually trying to help you be successful and happy!

He goes on that everything that happens is teaching you something that moves you closer to your goals.

How's that for a conspiracy theory huh?

Honestly, I'm on the fence on the first part of that theory because...This world is almost certainly not set up to make us happy lol Just take a look around and you sadly will agree. Things aren't on the up and up.

However that second part of his equation....I'm 100% in agreement with.

"Everything that happens to you, is teaching you something to help you achieve or reach a goal!"

I like to look at life like this...

Every single decision you have made in your life, has brought you to this moment...Right now!

You are spending your time, right now, reading this post, and every single decision you have made up until now, has brought you to this point. Now, obviously I'm not saying my post is life changing LOL Far from it, but what I'm arguing is that you never know how things may have turned out if you...

Didn't take that chance and ask your significant other out on a date.

Or work extra hard for that promotion at work.

Or spent 15 minutes more with your kids this morning, instead of hurrying off to your 9 to 5.

Of course, the opposite could be true as well. What if you never asked that girl or guy out all those years ago...Or put in the effort you knew you should have at work...Or heaven forbid, left your kids in the morning earlier than normal only to get rear ended by the tractor trailer on your commute.

Every decision....Has consequences.

And if you take the angle that W. Clement Stone does, maybe, just maybe...Good things are happening to us, and we might not just see them yet...

I guess the question we need to ask ourselves is....

What decisions are we making right now that impacts our life in the future?
