Why does life suck for some?

“We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the World.” - Buddha

The world is full of who's way is right? There are two paradigms in this life that connect to the continuum of progression. Here on The B Side we have identified them as The A Side and The B Side. As we press through life's challenges we constantly are identifying our life through perception. The confusion sets in though, when we begin to identify our life through the eyes of other individuals.

Self-worth is one of the most important muscles that we must strengthen. To be able to identify our self-worth and to increase our magnetism. New York Times Best Selling author with multiple books, Neil Strauss, describes our magnetism as our "inner game". What ever it is referred to, it is truth that something exists inside of each and everyone one of us, that if we cultivate it, we will strengthen ourselves and increase our happiness to gain a life worth living.

As the title of this post, "Why does life suck for some?" The B Side To The Truth is we look at life through filtered goggles. It is up to each and everyone of us to decide which goggles we place on our face each morning. We can look at the things that we don't have and play the role of the victim, or we can look at everything we do have and play the role of the victor! It all boils down to thoughts that we generate. Whether we generate them consciously or subconsciously, we still are responsible for generating the thoughts in our minds.



The A Side Mind set will consist of victim mentality always thinking the World is out to get them, others are out to screw them over, and that the World owes them something. A prime example in the Real Estate industry is the 8,000 dollar tax credit. It was already extended from the 7,500 tax credit, then to the 8,000 dollar tax credit, then another extra five months to receive this tax credit for first time home buyer's. I laugh as I hear people banking on the fact that it will be extended again. Which would be awesome for sales, yet the reality is we cannot expect others for constant hand outs! We must perform when opportunities are presented in front of us. Most individuals pass the responsibility and say "its not in my hand" or "I'm just not that lucky" or "other people always get good deals or better opportunities than me". If this is your mindset, the reality is you are not seeing the abundant opportunities around you. Neil Strauss says to the effect, "Opportunity does not always fall into our laps, we must get up and go find it". What are you doing to find opportunity, to attract opportunity, and to prepare to capitalize on opportunity for when it is in front of you. Benjamin Franklin said "God helps those that help themselves". And even then The A Side Mindset will rebuttal with, "I go to work" "I pay my dues". It is not a matter of just paying dues. It is a matter of creating value for the sole reason to create value in your life and the life of those around you. The more you create value for others, with out expecting anything in return, yet still understanding the importance of value exchange, you will attract more abundance directly into your life.

The B Side will go and do the things that create a difference in their life. They will get the education needed, they will exercise the realms to create counter-balance in their life, and they will give constant gratitude for the greatness that already surrounds them.

So here's the question to ask yourself... Am I more often in The A Side paradigm or Am I having the thoughts the provoke action to cause the changes in my life to create a life worth living? Am I "Changing the World by Changing Myself"?
