199 The failure-outcome of psychological laziness

                                                           

 "Weaken the weakness, and strengthen the strength"-those who learn to perfect this art, reach the peak of accomplishment.

                           Some people are psychologically lazy, they do not see what lies inside. They do not capitalize on their strength and checkmate their weakness. Their negativity, their lazy attitude, and their inner unawareness stop them from going up. So often, they do not notice their strength. They have in their mind that they are good for nothing, so they can't do anything. But when someone appreciates them, and tells them qualities they realize that they were unaware of their strength. Their psychology of thinking is, immediately,  changed. They become positive. There is an interesting story to get motivated.

               Once an old man was selling helium-filled balloons for a living. His business, like any other, had its ups and downs. Whenever his business was dull, he would never give up. He always planned something new with different colors, I mean he would release a few balloons of different colors to catch the attention of the children. This was his way of his strength to be noticed.

                                   Likewise, to bolster his business, he released a few balloons on one occasion. A boy, noticing balloons of different colors up in the sky, asked, "If a black balloon is released, will it also go up?" The old man with love told him, "My child! it is not what is outside that makes the balloon go up but it is {helium} inside that makes it go up.

                                         The teaching of the wise is that "Self-remembering is a powerful practice."
