【Abundant Living】Bad Things and Good Things

2017-03-26 4,635 Y133 Course - Living Abundantly

How to Live Well

We have broadcast over twenty episodes of Living Abundantly, researching what? This program is basically about how to help people live well. How to live well is the purpose of this program. Recently, I have been on Yingke and Yizhibo, clicking on what others are broadcasting. These broadcasts are all very good, and I saw a chubby little boy who was very cute. He was very adorable, and I listened for a long time to his entertaining content. But after listening, I didn't know what to do. Actually, you don't need to do anything; you can just relax.

When doing something, you must have a goal. But now, too many people like to be aimless, and people are accustomed to these aimless things. The research I am doing, I feel it is quite in-depth. Actually, I really enjoy this Living Abundantly program. Watching a person's transformation, seeing them start to live a little better, feels very enjoyable. When I start to feel enjoyment, I live even better.

The most important thing about living well is not what you do. When you are living well, you can do anything. The question is, what do you do when you are not living well? Knowing what to do when you are not living well! This determines whether you live well or not. If you think I am living quite well, then you really don't need to listen to me talk about these things. But when you are not living well, what I am saying is very suitable for you.

People have many kinds of reactions to things. Your reaction determines whether you will live well or not. A person's reaction to bad things, in fact, a single disaster in a person's life can negate all the work you have done in the past. For example, some time ago, a young boy came to me. He had a car accident and his lower limbs were paralyzed. The car accident turned him into this state. Even in this state, he can still have a reaction to such things.

There is an Australian man named Nick Vujicic, who is now in his twenties. He was born without arms or legs, just a head, a body, and a small tail behind his backside. He was ridiculed since he was young. His conditions are not good at all. I have heard his speeches, and I think his speeches are very good.

No one can imagine how devastating this would be to him. No matter what you encounter, you can decide how to react to such things. Reacting this way will make you live poorly; reacting that way will make you live better. Talking about such topics will be of great help to everyone.

In this era, too many people give up after encountering a little setback. Don't give up. The reaction you have to anything can push the whole thing in a better direction, allowing you to live better. Actually, Nick Vujicic's speeches are not particularly brilliant, but because of his congenital condition, his speeches become very engaging. From his teens and twenties, he toured the world, and he continues up till today. Money and life are not a problem for him. He chose how to respond in the face of this cruel reality.

We Should Emulate Joseph and David

There are many such stories in the Bible. One worth mentioning is Joseph. Joseph's father was particularly good to him, and his brothers were very jealous of Joseph. He actually went to see how his brothers were doing while tending sheep, but he was sold by his brothers to be a slave in Egypt. They originally wanted to kill him, but they didn't succeed, so they sold him. Joseph was a very interesting person. His reaction to being sold determined his life. Later, he became the prime minister of Egypt.

In Potiphar's house, Potiphar was the captain of Pharaoh's guard. What was Joseph's reaction to this matter? This kind of thing cannot change my destiny. God deliberately sent me here in advance so that one day I could become the savior of my family. It is hard for me to imagine how someone would think this way, but in any case, he later became the prime minister of Egypt. I don't know why this person thought this way, but the result of him thinking this way was very good.

Imagine a rich young man being sold into slavery in Egypt. What future is there? After being a slave for ten years, he was betrayed again and imprisoned for three years. He was brought out of prison, met the Pharaoh of Egypt, and eventually became the prime minister of Egypt, which was very remarkable.

These stories give us a very interesting space for reflection. When we encounter things, will we think like Joseph? If we think like Joseph, then you will be extraordinary. A person without a future created a future because he had a positive reaction to a bad thing.

Today, I want to summarize a pattern: A person's reaction to things determines their future, not the things themselves. Recently, for a period of time, I have been listening to a program called The Voice of China. There was a young man from Mudanjiang, Northeast China who lived in a basement in Beijing. Later, he had the opportunity to be on The Voice of China and suddenly turned his life around. The world is full of all kinds of stories, all illustrating one truth: Your reaction to things determines your future.

There is another biblical figure named David. David was pursued by his father-in-law (the King of Israel), and he was forced to flee for 13 years. This time is about the same as Joseph's 10 years as a slave and 3 years in prison. As a result, after these 13 years, he became the King of Israel. One became the prime minister of Egypt, and the other became the King of Israel. These stories can allow us to see that these bad things are not necessarily bad things.

In my own past years, I have also liked reading the Bible very much, and I like to emulate these figures in the Bible. For example, Joseph, Jacob, David, etc. These people are all very great. In the past, when I encountered some things in my job, they were not particularly fair to me, but my reaction to these things was very positive, because I emulated them.

Today, we must all learn to emulate these people, emulating their reactions when bad things happen. We must react positively like them. I have been very fortunate in my career, and then I was promoted to a senior management position. In the workplace, we must learn to face bad things, and your attitude must be positive.

If Your Boss Wrongly Accuses You, What Should You Do?

If your boss wrongly accuses you, how do you react? You might say at the time: I quit! What if your boss at the next company wrongly accuses you? You quit? Isn't your life over? You only encounter bad things in your life? Actually, bad things can be turned into good things. Turning bad things into good things is the most important key in our lives.

In the workplace, if your boss wrongly accuses you, don't react. Just do what you are supposed to do. When one day your boss suddenly realizes that he has wronged you and misunderstood you, he will compensate you. How will he compensate you? Maybe with a raise or a promotion.

Don't be anxious about the things you encounter in the workplace. This involves a person's perspective. If a person's perspective cuts out a small part of the event, then it cannot be viewed properly.

It is difficult to measure whether it is good or bad. If you cut out a long period of time, the matter becomes completely different. Everyone's perspective should be broadened. What will happen when it is broadened? Bad things will turn into good things. Today, the way you think inside is the key to living well. The key to living poorly is that a person's perspective, a person's thoughts, and a person's attitude towards things determine what you will become in the future.

In my job, when I had different points of view and opinions with my boss, because I was in technology and he was in management, he insisted on his point of view. His technical point of view was certainly not as accurate as mine. However, three years later, he found that his approach was not working, and he put the project back in my hands. Later, our relationship became very good. Before I resigned, when I was looking for a job, he wrote me a letter of recommendation. Such things are quite interesting.

Today, we must broaden our perspective. Those three years were not easy to get through, but I persevered, did not resign easily, and did quite well in my job. Some people in their families encounter family living environments that are not very good. When I was a child, I was also very envious of those children who lived in intellectual families, where their parents were cultured and very good.

I grew up in a working-class family, and I did not have these conditions. If the way I thought inside was that I was really unlucky to live in such a family, then my life would be ruined. No matter what the environment, I still had to persevere. Later, I was admitted to a university in Beijing. In the family, among friends, and in the church, when you encounter these wrongful or unfair things, you must not have this kind of negative, direct reaction.

React vs. Respond

In English, there are two words: react and respond. Reacting is an instinctive reaction, while responding is a reaction that has been processed by the brain and managed well. Today, we must all broaden our perspective. No matter what, there is no thing is completely bad, and nothing is completely good. You have to translate bad things into good things, and you have to make good things even better. How much more for your life.

Everyone must have a mindset that focuses on what the final outcome of the matter will be. Don't care about what the beginning of the matter is. The final result must be to turn it into a good thing. This is a belief and also a character trait. In life, we cannot control what we encounter. In the process of believing in God, I turn all the bad things I encounter into good things.

I once gave such an example. At that time, I went to a local church, which was an English church. I participated in English small groups in the church. Every week, I would participate in small group Bible studies. I had one characteristic when participating in small group Bible studies: I never missed a single one. Every week, I would arrive on time. However, the small group leader was leading very poorly, not explaining things clearly. Many of the brothers and sisters among us came from many different churches and often received a lot of feedback, saying that listening to Pastor Liu's sermons quickly built up their faith.

If you encounter the kind of situation I encountered, what should you do? It doesn't matter if the small group leader doesn't explain things clearly. In that kind of environment, I never missed a single time. This is a characteristic. When he was speaking, I was thinking. If I were to speak on this topic, how would I speak? As a result, I wrote such notes below. I organized my own sermon drafts. Maybe I wouldn't have the opportunity to speak, but it didn't matter; I just kept them. In short, I would turn this bad thing into a good thing.

I have already come this evening, so I will study the Bible well. How can I turn it into a good thing? I am also very emotional in my life. After believing in the Lord for so many years, I have not met a few good pastors. I treat these things as good things. In the future, when I am the main pastor, I will be a good pastor and never be careless.

The End of a Matter Is Better Than Its Beginning

Don't care about where everything starts, what matters most is the ending results. The end of a matter is better than its beginning (Ecclesiastes 7:8). People's logic is different. They don't care about the ending; they only care about what happened. When something happens, such as Joseph being sold into slavery in Egypt, people will get a premonition inside, an intuition of where their future lies. I will have no future, this is not about such things.

Your premonition and judgment about the future have a very deep impact on your emotions. If you have been wronged or betrayed, you will immediately understand what kind of impact this thing will have on your future.

For example, Nick Vujicic, he encountered such things from a young age. If his feeling was My future is over, then his life would be over. If David and Joseph's premonition of the future was, their future would be like that.

These people are all people who manage premonitions, or their inside feelings, which must lead to an extremely wonderful future.. A life judgment about the future, that kind of premonition will become a key component of Your life.

Today, if you feel bad and feel like you have no future, then you really have no future. If your situation today is not good at all, you are clear that you have a future, you will also have a future. Manage your premonitions or manage your feelings inside, and no matter what the environment you must know that my future will be better, your emotions will be managed well. If you lose hope and lose faith in the future, then the feelings and emotions inside will be very bad.

Manage your premonitions well, and premonishing the good outcomes will come to pass, then all that that which you believe inside will come to pass. I have done some very in-depth research and comparison on these things. Those who have faith in the future have a very good future, and those who do not have faith in the future do not have a good future. So I have done a detailed examination and comparison, and I have also done experiments on myself.

Today, if a fortune teller tells you that you will encounter bad luck, don't believe it. As soon as you accept it, you will think inside that you will be very unlucky, and you will definitely be unlucky. People will achieve according to what is in the inside. Many things are very spiritual. If a person tells you that this thing is not good and that thing is not good, this is negative and that is negative, then this negative person has no future.

I often encourage everyone not to accept it. Start to imagine that the future is like this, the future is like that... So I encourage everyone to put down these bad situations and imagine a future you in your mind, and declare it every day. One day you will discover that what you are declaring is the future you. Judging and feeling about future things will change the situation you are in today.

So some people have nothing but negative expectations on their mouths and hearts. Like there is a person who is severely ill, I said to you what I ought: You must be healed, and then the person gave me a reaction, that's not possible! I said, what is your brain thinking, I said you must be be healed, you ought to say It is so. Such is is excellent! After, how could you even say that will never happen. In the end the the person died. It was because he declared himself to be what he did believe. So people's reactions to things have a profound impact.

If a person has had good luck all life and all that he encounters were good things, you do not need to to manage anything much, because the feeling inside becomes naturally excellent. But you encounter bad things, how do you react, what and how will you respond with the kind of substance out from within you? Proceed in the start to recover hope once again. Hope, and that kind of the substance is especially divine. So today we thus start to manage once all these.

Learn believe that the good thing is a good thing and so also that the bad thing shall also be a good thing. So too How much more for you is to find breakthrough, too! So such impacts your future and runs it far deep. Today, if ask I, for this matter, I can so extract from it. So what is the rule in an abstract form? Faith creates the future. A small streamer/hostess from, in our midst, and who has just graduated primary school has inherited upon me my faith, and is doing a live streaming show. From so doing In recent months has earned/struggled and accumulated not a small quantity of money, She also transmits information about this very faith during her streaming, And then there was also also was a particular internet sensation/celeb who once visited this same very streaming room of hers, It so turns out that the said streamer celebrity was suffering and undergoing so much, since the voice cords had issues. And that was to say she could no longer do these very live transmissions.

So Then what we did, or should i rather say, more precisely, what and all that our small little streamer did, during that time? It so indeed does turn out that she released that kind of faith that that particular live streaming celebrity, that she would soon be healed. Well So what indeed is this Faith which does, indeed is a law so true. How much we ought believe that we will indeed have the excellent life ahead that is yet to exist. So that very same outcome you hope, will also follow its track and set forth and begin. So that very the exact and similar result which also and that you hope for with your life's destiny in the end is also so going to also to set off in its journey to go out to do.

Today We All Must Learn One Lesson. Or more like, rather, Use This Special Something called Your Faith. Faith, has/works along together with all those forces of Universal Gravitation, The Theoria Relativa/Theory of Relativity, all those mathematical/physical/chemical principles and logic/reasoning like that, and how such scientific methodologies work too. So that you must be a person of faith for you yourself. That from the start of this very Day you are to carry on with, and never ever give up, and constantly make declarations that such a wonderful and fantastic life for you to be experienced is to also be existed.

曾 I had previously share about the thoughts, or those high high reaching or high soaring ambitions which are indeed necessary for our lives. Chen Sheng Was once unsatisfied with also so being too that village person too, The the high browed and wide ranging and highly intellectual discourse/dialogue which too has made those other peasants too who had the bad judgement of beating his faith over the head with sticks, just because he had the gut faith that of a world which would in fact also be really and to be fair to him and indeed extremely beautiful life, And then the reason for that is indeed so that we cannot but keep to what the particular idiom and statement says : Doth that humble sparrow/doth that diminutive sparrow indeed ever so know of that ambition and high life purpose of the noble, high soaring and ambitious and mighty majestic eagle?. Therefore let us ever be/persist and be/stand by being an eagle. Not be a humble, diminutive, and lowly sparrow. How further off could it be that the sight of an insect could even, in any circumstances match that life long distance view of that that humble, diminutive, and lowly sparrow.

Those noble and highlife eagles even so fly over those times of torrential rains and thunderstorms is also and just because of how much and how what type of faith these animals have, and they never for once in their lives cower due to fear. Therefore how can they ever have too that heart/courage or mind to ever shrink out of timidity? What type of and thus what nature of courage do and what nature of that of the mind will make them also and how would their lives be.

I once even and have seen that video when an eagle, at the highest altitude, and swooping all throughout his entire body and life and just how and whenever he is so swooping by high up from the altitudes he does have the ability is that of the grabbing of an entire lamb too. No Small quantity of quantity. So So So when if even the the use case scenario of also and when someone has also and that that the excellence or those high skill or skill too the such adjective and quality which is applied is too and because too and he is/has the heart/guts of that of that noble and honest life eagle to persevere. Therefore even because therefore if one is to continuously and expand that that particular range where we exist too on earth, our views and that particular our life long view for us indeed becomes so especially and important to the most utmost

Nick Vujicic Has served as as the most and perfect instance so and ever known. If what ever you may so think of being someone who is is in that is the state of stupidity, so it cannot also be denied too. Is. Yes, yes it is so. What else if if you may then think that and is you can also do it. It can be then done, not to be not to be said any longer in its negativity. Therefore Thus Thus This very particular and special concept has has served as for us. Served for us to that extreme and far way for us.
