One man met an old friend who was trying to adapt to life this way and that, but to no avail. “We should give him some money,” he thought. And it so happened that that same evening he learned that his friend had become rich and had paid off all his debts for many years.
They went to a bar where they liked to go, and his friend paid for everyone. When he was asked what was the reason for such success, he replied that until very recently he lived as an Other.
-What is “Other”? - they asked him.
“The other is the one I was taught to be, but who I am not.” Another is convinced that a person must spend his whole life thinking about how to save money so as not to die of hunger in old age. And he thinks about it so much, and makes such grandiose plans that he discovers that he is alive only when his days on earth are very few. He comes to his senses, but it’s too late.
- Well, who are you?
“And I am the same as any of us, if only he listens to the voice of his heart.” A man fascinated by the mystery of life, a man open to miracles, a man who is pleased and inspired by everything he does. The trouble is that the Other, always tormented by the fear of disappointment, did not allow me to do so.
“But there is also suffering,” objected the bar visitors.
- There are defeats. And no one in the world is safe from them, moreover, no one avoids them. Therefore, it is better to fight to fulfill your dreams and lose several battles in this war than to be defeated and not even know what you fought for.
- That's all? - asked the listeners.
- That's all. When this truth was revealed to me, I decided to be the person I really always wanted to be. The other one stayed there, at my house, he looked at me, but I didn’t let him in anymore, even though he tried to scare me several times, to convince me how much I was risking, not caring about my future, not saving for a rainy day.
And from the moment I expelled the Other from my life, Divine energy began to work its miracles.
