Ever had a problem with a burning lamp? Thanks to the efforts of Thomas Edison we no longer need to invent a lamp. We just go to our store or closet and take out one and wrap it up. Voila! Light!
I’m sure you realize that it took Thomas Edison many, many attempts before making the lamp perfect. One day he asked her if her failures had weakened her. He replied, "I have not failed, I have found another way how to make a lamp".
You see, there is no such thing as a failure. Someone once said that the definition of Insanity is to do something over and over again and get the same results.
For our lives to be successful, we need to make adjustments in our lifestyles.
Just as a lamp can burn, so can we. Life can be dark and stressful and we feel helpless, hopeless. It’s a very bad picture for sure.
Let me clarify this situation (pun intended). When we feel low and deep in the holes, that’s when we need light to see our way. Some of us are lucky to have some light on hand, others have to go out and take it out.
Many people try to enlighten themselves by thinking positive thoughts but it takes them so far. It provides only so much light. There is a lot of light available but people are still confused as to how they got it.
We do not have to be like Thomas Edison and keep looking at the problem and thinking of ways to solve it.
In every problem, there is a Solution.
How do we find the solution? We can try, as we have said, to try to find out for ourselves, or we can find someone who has passed this obstacle and done what he did.
There are many books on the market today that can help us understand how to overcome obstacles in our lives. We need to learn and learn from the failures of other people. They have been through everything before and they can help teach us how to go through it now. There have been some of the greatest thinkers in our history and we are fortunate to have their lead.
We all need more light in our lives. Sometimes we cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel but there is always hope and help.
Learn how others have overcome their challenges and keep that education within you so that when you feel down and life seems bleak, you can unleash those resources to help you light up your life again.
Do not try to re-create the lamp, Learn to carry the lamp inside you.
