I have read an interesting story about the monk Dong Po and his friend Fo Yin:
One day, Su Dong Po asked Fo Yin: "In the eyes of the master, what do I look like?" Fo Yin replied, "In the eyes of the poor monk, the master is the golden body of Buddha Rulai."
Su Dongpo was very happy to hear this, and seeing that Fo Yin was chubby and wanted to poke fun, he laughed and said, "In my opinion, the master is a pile of cow shit."
The Buddha did not get annoyed after listening to the seal, just said so much to make the great scholar Su Dongpo quite blushing words: "Buddha is born from the heart. If there is a Buddha in your heart, then everything you see is a Buddha; if your heart is cow shit, then everything you see is cow shit."
Mr. Dong Po originally thought he had taken advantage, who knew that it was actually a pleasure. One is Buddha in his heart, the other is cow shit in his heart - the difference in realm is immediately apparent. This time, the big talent can really eat a big loss.
Things are often so marvelous, you have joy and happiness in your heart, then all you see is joy and happiness; and vice versa.
Look at the people who are in love, in love, in love: the world is still the world, but in their eyes is not the world - like in heaven. Happiness of the state overflowing in words, gratitude can not be named, sincere thanks to the sky, thanks to the earth, thanks to the sun shines on the earth ...... In fact, TA to see nothing more than their own inner happiness.
And then look at the love lost, disillusioned people: still the world, but has long been converted to color, dark clouds, lightning and thunder, gray. At this time, lonely and bitter, grief, the scenery in front of the eyes and then lost the interest of the eyes to look at. In fact, everything in front of the TA, but also the heart of the unhappy only.
Many things are divided into two, with two sides, if we think of the heart is bad, negative, then we will "get what we want", to see more negative things; if we think of the heart is good, positive, then we will "want to", to find more good things. If we think good and positive, then we will "get what we want" and find more good things.

Doesn't this sound a bit "mindful" and yet amazing?
There is also a story about a neighbor stealing an axe, which I believe many of my friends have read before:
Once upon a time, a man lost an axe and suspected that his neighbor's son had stolen it, so he secretly observed the man: looking at the man's walk, he looked like an axe-stealing man; looking at the man's face, the more he looked like an axe-stealing man, the more he looked like an axe-stealing man, the more he looked like an axe-stealing man. The more you see, the more like a person who steals axes; listen to him talk, it is more like a person who steals axes - no matter what people say, what they do, talk, every move, nothing is not like a person who steals axes.
Later, the lost axe was found by himself, and then look at the neighbor's son, at this time, the words and deeds, hands and feet and do not look like a person who stole the axe.
The first thing you need to do is to find out what you want to do, and then you can do what you want to do, and then you can do what you want to do.

Don't think that only in the old story there will be such a "work" of people, there are a lot of modern life.
There is a healthy woman who has killed herself in this way.
There is an older woman, one day leisurely walking in the street, on the way to meet a fortune-teller, nothing to do is to count a fortune. The results were told: life is not long ......
In fact, I still do not understand that the fortune-teller in the end what the mentality of the money, say a few words to make people happy not just have to be so scared of the aunt.
So, after the aunt went home, she started to worry, not thinking about food, square dance is no longer interested in jumping, all day long in the house, sad clouds, sighing, a long time, they will have a problem.
Sick of the original nothing, but the stubborn aunt said nothing to go to the doctor, she thinks everything is God's will, fortune-teller said words are really good!
Later, due to the delay in the treatment of the time, she really used her life to verify the words of the fortune-teller how spiritual. The first time I saw this, I was able to see that the whole world had been in a state of flux.
Because she was thinking of "life is not long", so the thing that is not true, but was a prophecy of the fortune-teller. In the end, it was her own "achievement" that made it happen.

New Year's Eve, a positive story for everyone.
My friend H stayed in a city for too long, and got tired of it. He longed for the beautiful Kunming, and thought day and night about how he could move to the spring city with its pleasant climate and livability.
I didn't realize that not long after, the company had a chance to work in Kunming, and the position and salary made him quite satisfied, and most importantly, it was the city he always wanted to go to.
What's more, the house he rented at the time just expired at that point in time, and the big project he'd been working on for a long time also happened to be wrapped up at that time - everything was so smooth, just right, and it seemed like "the whole world was making way for him! "
The above is a great example of how this can be done.
The true story above is a bit of a coincidence. However, it can not be completely said that it is a coincidence, if he did not first move to leave the idea, naturally do not see the opportunity to change, and more will not take the initiative to fight to take this opportunity to transfer away.

There are some things that seem to be very mysterious, but in fact they are not so mysterious.
In life, we often come across such things:
There are many such things. In fact, from a psychological point of view, there is no mystery at all. Our "attention" is selective: millions of moments, millions of things, millions of facets - and we pick just the one moment, the one thing, the one aspect that we want to see.
Other moments, people and things, and other aspects, naturally exist, but they are filtered out. The only thing we choose to leave behind is what we keep thinking about, remembering, and letting go of.
So what you see, what you want to be, what you want to have in the world, is ultimately up to your heart.
