Last night I saw Roger Federer beat Andy Murray at the Australian Open Tennis Final 2010. Together with clinical exhibits to defeat his Scottish opponent, the elegant Swissian Maestro has shown to the world that he is the only one better with age and father's responsibility. I got an interview after the game about his magnificent performance and I learned very profound from the legends of this game. I believe that crucible ingredients for his success are not just the court, it is not only that.
Federer, asked about the important points of the third set and the decent set that Murray witnessed in the fourth set, said that, among these challenges and the associated uncertainty, he survived the storm and the opponent Despite the wave of momentum riding at that important time, you can set yourself to win the game in 3 sets.
He was constitutive in his own story and in a sense derived from the result of its important points, he maintained a positive attitude attitude. Because it was in the same situation as before, he had a reference framework that supported success on this occasion. Federer takes the weight of his negative dialogue and puts everything in the right view at the moment when a smaller player collapses, and focuses energy at the most important time to achieve the result of winning hope I was able to. By mastering his inner game, it was a victory that was achieved with the victory of the tournament.
After listening to Federer's story, I explained his thought process with the last set of games and I began thinking about the theory outlined in Dr. Martin Seligman in the best-selling "fun learning". I quote what he calls "descriptive style". As an important factor in determining whether to lean towards optimism or pessimism in response to a given stimulus it seemed to me that Federer is familiar with this aspect of the process at a certain level.
What he means by Dr. Seligman when he uses the phrase description style is a way of communicating with themselves in response to what happens in our lives. For example, saying that you were dismissed from the work you had for 10 years, one response is "Oh my life is over! What am I going to do now?" Another response is "to God I appreciate it but I hated that job anyway and now I have the opportunity to pursue that I am enthusiastic passionate. Another more common example is the emergency One reaction to this event is "Shit! I have to walk a few blocks to the meeting, and I will spoil the new shoes I purchased." One more There will be one more positive answer "Awesome! The garden has not been tailed in such a long time.
As we would like to oppose, there is no response to any event. Some people respond negatively automatically in certain situations, but because this is conditional, you can learn to react in a different way. By cultivating a pause between stimuli and reactions you can enter into yourself and use their hearts to create meaning of the event in a way that is useful to them and the larger world.
Here I recall the wonderful work I tried to find a cure for Michael J. Fox and Parkinson's disease. Fox who was attacked at a young age because of sickness decided not to be sentenced to death sentence, so he was encouraged building a foundation to raise funds to investigate the cause of the disease and paying attention to the conditions. In team mates with Muhammad Ali who is fighting the disease, the two have spread far to promote the cause and give hope to other patients seeking inspiration.
For Fox it would have been able to defend himself with a prognosis and lament the state of his life, but he blessed himself that his illnesses gratefully thanked him all over the world And he used this appreciation as a motivation to pay back those who were not so fortunate in life experience. Fox, an eternal optimist, is approaching to realize his dream everyday, making the most of what was given in the process.
With a strong, courageous and progressive explanatory style, we have a lot to learn from Michael J. Fox. There is no need to deal with the constantly debilitating illness and there is no reason to keep dragging the current embarrassment in our lives. I have the potential to add to the experience of our life.
In most cases, I am a very positive person with a helpful explanatory style, rather than hindering me, but that I have many moments that I feel vulnerable to negative influences in my life You must admit. To struggle to maintain pure consciousness, I have a tendency to lose perspective and see small obstacles as giants to overcome. This failure will be most experienced when I am removed from the existence of mind in my life. Filling the gap between stimulus and response I can see my place more clearly, the world more objectively, with a stable influence that feeds my ability. Taking this distance from the events in my life, I learned that income has no income, as there is no assurance that what I wanted to happen is realized. Taking this approach, the harmful aspects of that effect never remain the same as once, and I am a better way to get this response from a devastating thought pattern of mind. Releasing my spiritual and emotional energy, I remember that the universe is conspiring for my ultimate interest, so enjoying a greater level of peace, happiness, and satisfaction I can do it.
It is a natural thing to move to pessimism, separated from the spirit. All pessimism is rooted in fear and doubt is to infect all thoughts that are mentally imagined without love. Love is the essence of faith and hope, it frees the mind that it believes erroneously that it is dominant. It is a weak point of the ego that teaches that there is no higher power when trying to exert control when nothing is required, is this true? The best power is of spirit. Being a good representative can not go beyond that.
It was said that everything that God created once is good. Optimistic statement, it was something that stood a test of time. Following the eternal spirit, I will tell you the powerful truth that resonates with the heart I love like God. You are good like God. Know it, trust it, please have your wish upon adversity. If you expect it, victory will be yours. Expect faith, act with courage, reflect humbly. Doing this, death of fear is certain.
