Our world contains both heaven and hell, but often it is our power to change it.

Some people have an awful life and destiny. Crippled, diseased, abused and other horrible life experienced. They can easily see their life as a living hell. If you believe in reincarnation, than these misfortunate’s karma may be to repay a karma debt.

On the other hand, there are some people who seem to have it all. Fame, fortune, love, success. Although everyone has their own problems, in comparison to others they could be considered as heavenly lives.

Therefore, we have heaven and hell all around us, and we can be living in heaven or hell. However, for those that live in hell, it is in their power to change it or at least reduce the level of pain, and sometimes even turn it around and even find happiness. How? First, it depends on the perception, the way we see the world. If you think everything is bad, than you will be opened to bad things and thus attract them. Read the blog Changing Perception to Change Reality for more details on this.

Second, our personality is a compound of qualities and traits, that generate a certain behavior which result in a reaction from the environment. I don’t believe a person can completely change personality, but the dosage of dome qualities in the compound can certainly be equilibrated.    The self-development work may certainly be manifested in our environment.

Let’s take for example an intelligent person that has the ability to socially interact and connect, but also get’s irritated very easily and gets mad quickly. Now, assume that he has a recurring problem with neighbors, i.e.: it doesn’t matter where she lives, she always has problem with neighbors that make a lot of noise. There are some possibilities to try and solve this issue. Two dominant solutions are: 1. Ask nicely to stop. And 2. Pay back! Give the neighbor a lesson!

Now assume that the second option is the one he always used, since it is much easier to get mad! But it never achieved expected results and the problem continued. She may then try the second option, try to be nice, friendly, go to a more positive direction. So, instead of the impatience and tendency to get mad, she used her intelligence to figure the best way to approach, and her social skills to interact, and chose another way.

That’s a very nice example.

Although there is no guarantee that the second options will work, if something doesn’t work for a while, the most logical thing to do is to try something else..
