I have observed people who desperatel­y want to change their circumstan­ces but will not change their mindset. :hat they do not realise is that it was their mindset that created the circumstan­ces they are in.

/et’s look at the employee who believes he should do less than the minimum because he feels he is being terribly underpaid by his employer. This employee misses out on enMoying the privilege afforded to him, which has been deprived many who would feel blessed if they could have secured the said post and had something to do daily.

Improve

That employee also learns nothing for he has no desire to improve himself. 6omeone who drags themselves about all day and seeks ways to either steal from or cheat the employer loses out on the possibilit­y of receiving an increment as most of the turnover in the business goes towards replacing whatever has been stolen, therefore, leaving no surplus for the employer to consider granting the worker an increment.

In their minds they have evil thoughts about the employer throughout the day and it is not unusual to hear them utter derogatory remarks under their breath in a manner that cannot be heard by the employer for these have become masters of all that ensures their every move towards prosperity is blocked. These sorts of people tend to be rebellious not only in the work environmen­t but also in their personal lives. (verybody and somebody else Must seem to know which buttons to press to wind such people up. They adore terms such as µungenaphi’ even when the speaker is minding out for them, by making them aware of the dangers of the circumstan­ces prevalent in their immediate vicinity. It is not that the public at large is targeting these ± it is simply that the laws of the universe are simple ± we only attract that which we are. If we are irritable we meet other irritable people if we are angry, we meet angry people.

Mindset

%ecause one has a negative mindset it is therefore, impossible for one’s circumstan­ces to change for the negativity seeps into all areas of one’s life and is not restricted to the workplace. These vocalise only the things that they do not want or like. They are not good conversati­onalists because, firstly, listening is an art if one cannot listen to what is being said, how can one then carry on an in-depth discussion" They know it all so there is no reason to increase their knowledge by reading or watching documentar­ies to improve. They rarely, if ever, pass compliment­s and therefore never receive any also, they never thank others for assisting them for they believe it is insignific­ant leading to many, who are mindful tapping into their energy and electing not to assist them. This is simply karma giving them what they deserve ± they dislike assisting others why should anyone assist them" It is therefore this mindset that daily recreates the very same scenarios in their lives and the result is that their circumstan­ces cannot improve, unless they change their mindset, habits and daily practices. If you want to change your circumstan­ces, change yourself and your life will improve drasticall­y.
