Good - Aladdin's Way to Success and Prosperity

Introduction

Once upon a time, in a faraway place, a boy sat in a forest, a lamp between his knees, old and dusty, still beautiful, inviting him to hold it. The boy could not help but touch it. Aladdin rubbed his fingers against the inscription beside the lamp. The words written on it were...

"Ask, I'm ready to give you anything."

As soon as he finished reading, the lamp in his hand began to shake, the hair on his neck stood on end. A loud, piercing sound echoed from every corner, from which he could not tell where.

"Who are you, and why did you call me?" The dust around Aladdin's feet stirred, and a large shadowy figure emerged, pulling him up until he was almost at the edge of the rainbow, his eyes almost turning blue.

"Where am I, what will happen to me?"

"You are the same as me, I am the genie who guards the lamp called "Genie". I came out just because you called me. Whatever you ask,

I am here to answer all your requests, to fulfill all your desires.

"I want you to recognize me for who I really am. I am nothing more than a beggar now. The truth is, I am a prince. I own all the wealth of my father, the king."

"If that's the case, your wishes are my command. Sit comfortably at my feet, child. Learn how to ask for what you want in life."

"As I teach, I will create miracles and wonders with my hands. I will invite my friends to share their stories with me. Stare at the lamp, my son. Just wait for my various stories of transformation."

Early in my married life, my wife, “Georgia,” and I would go on day trips to a cabin by a lake in western Massachusetts.

After buying a lot of groceries, I returned home. I parked the car a short distance away, and the two of us, each carrying a large bag of groceries, had to walk down the stairs to the kitchen, exhausted.

I always felt bad about being alone. My wife was unpacking all her bags and organizing her things. I was just wandering around, wondering if it was raining or snowing outside.

One day, as the couple sat down to calculate their savings, I felt my long-standing resentment begin to show. My wife's reaction changed my life.

"I can't imagine what's making you unhappy about these arrangements. Why aren't you saying something? It's not like you're keeping quiet. Say what you have to say, demand what you have to demand. All you have to do is demand what you want to be."

“All I have to do is ask, it's that simple.” The things I had been afraid to ask for my entire life started to come back to me.

I regret not being able to play the guitar until now because I didn't dare ask a friend who knew how to play music when I was a student. I missed out on so many opportunities because I didn't ask.

One day after leaving college, my adoptive father gave me a $20 bill and said, "If you need a helping hand, look at the end of your arm."

The underlying message is, "You have to rely on yourself." Be yourself. Be enough. Don't ask anyone for anything. For the past 18 years, I have relied on my parents and my stepfather.

“If you are in trouble, don't come to us for help.” “We don't know what you are asking for.” “Are there too many stupid questions?”

“So, when it comes to asking someone what I want, I have to control my mouth. I have to store up what I want. I often don’t get it. This is my life. I get less than I want, less than I deserve, less than the best, and less than I could have.”

When Jack tells this Aladdin story, he tells us that there are five major obstacles that prevent you from asking for what you want. The first is “ignorance.” It’s a trap of not knowing what to ask for or what to ask for. The second is “false belief.” It leads you down the wrong path. He thinks that because his wife loves him, she will automatically grant him what he wants.

The third obstacle is being controlled by “fear.” Fear of getting a negative response, fear of being embarrassed, etc.

The third obstacle is "pride," which is a huge barrier that blocks the way for us.

The fifth is “low self-esteem.” It is a feeling of being shy and insecure about asking for something, demanding something, or being unsure of whether or not it is worth it.

“These five obstacles are linked together like chains, keeping you from asking for or demanding what you want. Only when you can break these chains will you be free from the bondage they have created. Until you break them, your dreams will not come true.”

Part 1

Aladdin's method for success and prosperity

Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone. Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. To him who knocks it will be opened.

Matthew 7-7-C

Blocking the demand

Five major obstacles

The main reasons we don't ask for what we want

Ignorance

In one story, a thief stole a beautiful coat. The coat was made of soft material and had gold and silver buttons. The thief sold the coat to a merchant in the market and told his best friend about it. The friend asked how much he had sold it for...

"I got a hundred bucks," he said. "

"Is it only worth a hundred for such a magnificent coat?" asked the friend.

"Are there any numbers greater than one hundred?" he asked, as if he had just learned.

Most of us don't know what to ask for. We don't know how much we can get for ourselves. We don't know how much we really want and need. We don't know what we really want.

Most of us don't know how to ask. We've never learned how to make effective requests. These effective communication skills have never been taught at home, in schools, or in the workplace.

We don't know who to ask, when to ask, and who is capable of giving what we ask for.

"Fear always springs from ignorance."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

We don't really know what we really want or need.

Most of us are out of touch with our true needs and desires. This is because as children we were often ignored, humiliated, and rejected for expressing these needs and desires.

We are criticized for expressing this, and ridiculed for making bold demands, so to be safe and free from pain, we must bury our desires.

Expressing our desires can also make our parents uncomfortable. It can challenge their belief systems and value systems. We often subconsciously reject what we ask for because they themselves never had it as children.

Children often refuse requests for help, fearing that their neighbors will criticize them for being too self-indulgent and destructive.

The final feeling is to stop the feelings we want. It hurts so much to stop. It seems easier to be numb.

If someone asks you, "What do you want to do tonight?" you'll get a "I don't know" answer, or a "I don't care what you want to do."

                         Limited and imprecise beliefs

The second obstacle is the negative limiting beliefs that are programmed into our subconscious. They silently control all of our actions.

"We are all the results of what we think."

"A man is what he believes."

Anton Chekhov

                      Where do these beliefs come from?

The data bank that we were programmed with when we were born is empty. We are being held back by demands. What we get are negative, limiting beliefs from our parents, teachers, churches, friends, and the media. These things make us feel small and paralyzed.

We are taught that it is better to give than to receive. If someone truly loves you, they will give you without you having to ask. If you ask, they will think you are weak. This includes beliefs like these.

Don't expect too much in life. That way you won't be disappointed later. Don't expect too much from people like your father. You'll be safer if you keep your mouth shut. If you think you're stupid, open your mouth and drive away the suspicions that you're stupid and stinky.

Our parents are programming us.

“Tingpear Lin” recounted his childhood experience. “When I was a child, my grandmother used to give me money for my meals. When I first started giving it to her, I refused. My brother forced me to take it. When my mother saw it, she said, “Why did you take it from me? Give it back.” My brother said, “What’s wrong, you’re my grandson’s.” My grandmother put the money in my pocket and I left happily.

The next day, I asked, “Grandma, can you give me some money?” Grandma looked at me and said, “Don’t always ask for money, honey.”

I was shocked and shocked. I was just a child. They gave me money, so I asked for it. That was the etiquette of their elders. We children simply follow the unspoken etiquette.”

Most of us grow up in homes where our wants are ignored, not taken into account, and dismissed as ridiculous. Our wants and desires don't matter. We're not given choices.

We, who live like second-class citizens, sit and watch what is being eaten in front of us, and listen to what is being said in front of us. If I were to talk about my childhood memories...

- Don't worry about your mother. - Hey, let your grandmother be alone and calm...

- I don't want to hear this again.

- You're selfish, you only think about yourself.

- If you're in my house, you have to follow my rules. Etc. et cetera.

Our school is providing the program.

When I was a student, if I asked my teacher for help at school, my friends would tease me, saying that I would just sit next to the teacher and be like a dog raised by the teacher.

Adults often scold me for doing my own thing and not hanging out with my friends.

The teacher also doesn't give excuses. He just looks at me with his eyes wide open and finds fault.

We all struggle a lot during our student life. The teacher comes and asks us why we can't draw like Kelly.

We are being programmed by the mainstream media.

After the days of TV, people are forced to suffer in silence. Never say anything that might hurt. Or say something that deeply needs to be said. People are learning to reflect on their true pain and discomfort. Needs and desires are suppressed, repressed. This hard-headed image of people is only looking for ways to buy support from other people.

                     Religious education is giving us a foundation.

 

The rigid rules of churches, the insincerity of individual ministers, and the demands placed on us by TV evangelists and religious literature are all too conventional.

"It is more blessed to give than to receive."

Acts 20:35

Our doctors are programming us.

In the past, doctors were gods. We listened to everything the doctor said. Doctors didn't have time to answer our stupid questions. Just follow the rules they gave us. Don't argue with the prescription, don't question the treatment plan. Waiting outside the clinic for hours was a greater pain than the pain. If the doctor scolded us, we just had to accept it. If we didn't understand, he was a medical expert. Do as he was told, don't ask questions.
