The Power of Human Will

A lot many people i hear saying, "If its meant to happen, it will happen" Now this belief may not hold true in every circumstances. If you simply sit and do nothing to change the circumstances, then nothing will shift.

You will keep sitting like a spectator and a victimized being. A lot many times, your action is what needed or required to move things at the next level. And the lack of action, makes things persist. Actions may be in terms of your right thoughts, emotions and physical actions. And once you have done your part, then you may leave it to the universe to play through the details and development of the event.

Then you may say, now if its meant to come to me or happen for me, then it will happen. In the "Self Mastery" workshop, this is one of the most common belief we find people getting stuck with. And just by shifting a little bit here and there, we see a series of change happening. There was a beautiful, inspiring story which i read in one of the books by Anthony Robbins, "Awakening the Giant Within". The story is below; read and think what is possible, if you refuse to accept circumstances as they are.   

“They needed no reason. They came simply because he was of Jewish descent. The Nazis stormed into his home, arresting him and his entire family. Soon they were herded like cattle, packed into a train, and then sent to a death camp in Krakow. His most disturbing nightmares could never have prepared him for seeing his family shot before his very eyes. How could he live through the horror of seeing his child's clothing on another because his son was now dead as the result of a "shower"?”

Somehow he continued. One day he looked at the nightmare around him and confronted an inescapable truth: if he stayed there even one more day, he would surely die. He made a decision that he must escape and that escape must happen immediately! He knew not how, he simply knew he must.

For weeks he'd asked the other prisoners, "How can we escape this horrible place?" The answers he received seemed always to be the same: "Don't be a fool," they said, "there is no escape! Asking such questions will only torture your soul.

Just work hard and pray you survive." But he couldn't accept this— he wouldn't accept it. He became obsessed with escape, and even when his answers didn't make any sense, he kept asking over and  over again, "How can I do it? There must be a way. How can I get out of here healthy, alive, today?"

It is said that if you ask, you shall receive. And for some reason, on this day he got his answer.

Perhaps it was the intensity with which he asked his question, or maybe it was his sense of certainty that "now is the time." Or possibly it was just the impact of continually focusing on the answer to one burning question. For whatever reason, the giant power of the human mind and spirit awakened in this man. The answer came to him through an unlikely source: the sickening smell of decaying human flesh.

There, only a few feet from his work, he saw a huge pile of bodies that had been shoveled into the back of a truck— men, women, and children who had been gassed. The gold fillings had been pulled from their teeth; everything that they owned— any jewellery — even their clothing, had been taken. Instead of asking, "How could the Nazis be so despicable, so destructive? How could God make something so evil? Why has God done this to me?," Stanislavsky Lech asked a different question. He asked, "How can I use this to escape?" And instantly he got his answer.

As the end of the day neared and the work party headed back into the barracks, Lech ducked behind the truck. In a heartbeat, he ripped off his clothes and dove naked into the pile of bodies while no one was looking. He pretended that he was dead, remaining totally still even though later he was almost crushed as more and more bodies were heaped on top of him.

The fetid smell of rotting flesh, the rigid remains of the dead surrounded him everywhere. He waited and waited, hoping that no one would notice the one living body in that pile of death, hoping that sooner or later the truck would drive off.

Finally, he heard the sound of the engine starting. He felt the truck shudder. And in that moment, he felt a stirring of hope as he lay among the dead. Eventually, he felt the truck lurch to a stop, and then it dumped its ghastly cargo— dozens of the dead and one man pretending to be one of them— in a giant open grave outside the camp. Lech remained there for hours until nightfall. When he finally felt certain no one was there, he extracted himself from the mountain of cadavers, and he ran naked twenty-five miles to freedom.

Think whats stopping you ? Whats the obstacle holding you back ? What you think is impossible to break ? Consider shifting the perspective in your mind and ask a right question backed up with some concrete actions and you may experience a shift in your life, in and out.

With love and happiness,
