Generally our thoughts are governed by our perception. We complain why we are not achieving upto our expectation. There may be many factors responsible for achieving less and among theses I feel Perception too plays vital role affecting our thinking process and obviously execution level finally.
I would like to mention an example here, One of my Client who was always busy in finding good business opportunities and i would say to a great extent he was successful also in his business adventures most of the time . One fine day he came to my chamber and while in informal talk with me he asked few questions
Why I dont feel good about life ?
Why there is a feeling of being lonely ?
Why all my achievements are not enough to make me happy ?
First I congratulated him for asking such questions then he was surprised what for I was greeting him. I replied .. Dear .. you are my client since last 25 years and I never had such nice questions from your side . You always came to my office for some work and despite our 25 years relationship never asked about your health or my health or else... I congratulate to you for starting of real thought process. He was still confused .. Sir I want to transform but how I really dont know ? I knew he was very much selfish and never been supporting others...
I replied can you ask me what the age of human being in our country ... he told 65 .. ok I said and asked what is your age he said 56 ... I asked him to reduce his age from the average age and he answered .. Its 9 years only. While replying my last question I could see his face and expression full of introspection. He cried, astonished and told me Sir I never thought this way.. Life is now remaining only for 9 years more .. I got less time to lots of thing for others too.. He is completely a changed man today.. Just by changing Percetion.
