If you're go through and understand these words,you must be working your way to achieve your gold.If you're a network marketer. It's either you're struggling in your business or at least you're looking for fresh new ways to add a few hundred dollars to your monthly or weekly income.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But before you achieve the success you desire, there are always some&lt;a href="http://myelvin.blogspot.com/2007/12/i-wiil-kill-demon-that-i-hate.html"&gt; evil ideas&lt;/a&gt; and misconceptions that you have to vomit out of your system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Success is What we Achieve"&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Success is not a destination, as the quote says. Success is not about earning a $1 million dollar check in one day, or buying a new house. Don't get me wrong, though. These things are RESULTS of success. It's impossible to succeed and not have physical, material, and outward manifestations. But to say that the house and the million dollar check is the definition of success, then I'd say that's entirely wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here's my definition of success . Most of you may or may not agree with me and that's fine. We all have a different outlook and perspective on how to get the things we dream for in life, and let me share you mine:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;dd style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Success is a state of mind that urges us to achieve certain things on a daily basis".&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/dd&gt;&lt;dt&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;/dl&gt;&lt;p&gt;That's it. It's not rhetoric. Most people valuing  success from the point of view of RESULTS (oh, he's got a nice car,big house, he must be successful).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What they don't realize is that the person who got a nice car and experiencing a high level of income in life is already succeeding on a daily basis, even before he has reached his income goals. I've found out that really successful people have simply learned to do things a little bit differently every single day. They have the so called "winning edge" over their peers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Winning Edge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I believe that if you can just do one activity, one technique, one idea, one concept or strategy that NO ONE ELSE IS DOING, then if you do it on a regular basis (everyday), you can achieve greater heights in your career . To succeed on a daily basis, and consequently in the long term, do this:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Focus on what you'll do today. Now. Remember, there's no tomorrow without now. Your future will only be a result of what you're doing today. Tell yourself, "What is the most productive thing I can do at this very moment?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Do things slightly differently than the others on a daily basis. If everyone else is saying the same words, displaying the same web pages, putting up the same old cliche's, then it's time to be different and stand out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Identify the actions that bring you success and focus your daily efforts on doing MORE of those stuff.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. Sit in front of your long term goals. Then determine what needs to be done to achieve it. It might sound simple but most networkers don't do it. For example, if your goal is $1,000 per month, how many leads, customers, and monthly subscribers do you need to have? To get those customers, how much traffic do you need to acquire? To get that traffic, how much is the budget you need to invest in advertising? How many articles do you need to write? How much time does it take to crank up that amount of content? Average people don't take time to know this vital information. Don't be average.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Do all you can to make TODAY the best day in your career. (Think Michael Jordan)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don't sit back and wait for success to happen tomorrow. Success begins today. It's an ongoing process, not a final destination.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;quote:&lt;i&gt;Verniel Cutar*&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="sig" class="sig"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;**Verniel Cutar is an established leader in the MLM industry.

It's called getting a case of the stupids. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_mhsqv0d0kBo/SSuiEXqlU5I/AAAAAAAACpI/le86njWyaak/ceagle%5B4%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="389" alt="ceagle" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mhsqv0d0kBo/SSuiGEXQiOI/AAAAAAAACpM/FC7AbTZ76us/ceagle_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg" width="266" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A&lt;/strong&gt;fter we've apologized and kicked ourselves and apologized some more and searched for a &lt;strong&gt;decent rock&lt;/strong&gt; to hide under, most of us are left trying to figure out how to recover and resume being the highly intelligent, sophisticated, and above-average people we know ourselves to be. It can be a difficult process, which is why our department has created a list of 5 steps to help you through a case of the stupids. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ol&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Admit your stupidity.&lt;/strong&gt; To deny it is to deny a part of you. Any hope for recovery requires that you accept all       &lt;br /&gt;of you, even the dumb parts. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Embrace it.&lt;/strong&gt; Once you acknowledge it, don't shun it; hold it close and cherish it. You never know, this       &lt;br /&gt;might be a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience what it's truly like to be like everybody else. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wallow in it.&lt;/strong&gt; Throw yourself a pity party, but make it quick. A streamer, a couple of balloons, and a freshly       &lt;br /&gt;baked humble pie (with whipped cream) should do the trick. There's no need to invite anyone else. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Learn from it.&lt;/strong&gt; Use the party as a chance to improve yourself. Any case of the stupids that doesn't kill       &lt;br /&gt;you, can only make you smarter. It might not prevent future stupidity, but take comfort in the fact that it will likely be a       &lt;br /&gt;different variety of stupid. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Let it go.&lt;/strong&gt; Once you've learned your lesson, there's no reason to let it linger. Wish your stupidity       &lt;br /&gt;well and send it on its way. Holding onto it won't help anybody. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Along with these 5 steps, here a few more tips to keep in mind... &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stay away from others&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt; Until you've finished the fifth step, you won't be pleasant to be around. Also, being       &lt;br /&gt;around people not suffering from a case of the stupids will only make you feel worse, which could prevent you from recovering. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don't rush the steps&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt; Depending on the severity of the case, the steps could take a matter of minutes or a matter       &lt;br /&gt;of weeks. If you rush, you run the risk of a relapse. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Don't try to fix it&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt; What has been done can't be undone (at least until time machines are invented). In most       &lt;br /&gt;cases, fixing only makes things worse. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Know you're not alone&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt; There are roughly six billion other people doing or saying something dumb (or maybe dumber)       &lt;br /&gt;at this very moment. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Know you're special&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/em&gt; If the previous tip doesn't help, then take comfort in the fact that you are suffering       &lt;br /&gt;from your own special strain of stupid and that makes you unique. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;With these steps and tips, you have everything you need to get through your case of the stupids. If you follow them,you should be well on your way to recovery in no time. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14px"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="" href="http://myelvin.blogspot.com/"&gt;Inspired By Internet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9px"&gt;&lt;em&gt;What to Do When You Get a Case of the Stupids,(A Note About Stupidity from the Department of Tongues in Cheeks)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9px"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="byline"&gt;Ref: David=http://randomcuriosity.com/journal/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;http://feeds.feedburner.com/myElvin&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880108618494071412-8083514924218868361?l=myelvin.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880108618494071412/posts/default/8083514924218868361'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880108618494071412/posts/default/8083514924218868361'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myelvin.blogspot.com/2008/11/stupid-help.html' title='10 steps to help you through a case of the stupids'/><author><name>Me</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14977032286013139108</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15710577320378859340'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880108618494071412.post-7972871458426068066</id><published>2008-10-25T22:00:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-25T22:42:25.652-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Yourself'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration'/><title type='text'>What are you waiting for?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We convince&lt;/strong&gt; ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Then we're frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that, &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We'll certainly be happy when they're out of that stage.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together,&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;when we retire......&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than&lt;strong&gt; right now&lt;/strong&gt;. If not now, when?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/elvinletter/SQP4gICAL4I/AAAAAAAACg0/wx2xhUKqY-0/bike-evo%5B3%5D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="83" alt="bike-evo" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/elvinletter/SQP4hSO2vaI/AAAAAAAACg4/idL6b5xiERU/bike-evo_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg" width="240" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your life&lt;/strong&gt; will always be filled with challenges. It's best to &lt;strong&gt;admit this to yourself&lt;/strong&gt; and decide to be happy anyway.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D. Souza. He said, &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This perspective&lt;/strong&gt; has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special,&lt;strong&gt; special enough&lt;/strong&gt; to spend your time with...and remember that time waits for no one.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;   &lt;p&gt;So, stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you're off welfare, until the first or fifteenth, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink, until you've sobered up, until you die, until you're born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Happiness is a journey, not a destination.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/elvinletter/SQP5OLCaYDI/AAAAAAAACg8/-3jPpXatPnM/travall5.png"&gt;&lt;img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="292" alt="travall" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/elvinletter/SQP5WBSl2cI/AAAAAAAAChA/qFsOT6Yz8oc/travall_thumb3.png" width="437" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Copyright &amp;#169; Crystal Boyd&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The author of &amp;quot;Happiness is a Journey.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://inspired.byinter.net/"&gt;Inspire by Internet&lt;/a&gt; with My Elvin &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Because there is no better time than right now to be happy.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;http://feeds.feedburner.com/myElvin&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880108618494071412-7972871458426068066?l=myelvin.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880108618494071412/posts/default/7972871458426068066'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880108618494071412/posts/default/7972871458426068066'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myelvin.blogspot.com/2008/10/what-are-you-waiting-for.html' title='What are you waiting for?'/><author><name>Me</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14977032286013139108</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15710577320378859340'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880108618494071412.post-911100440667822367</id><published>2008-10-25T20:04:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-18T22:55:48.394-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sky'/><title type='text'>You have earned one more tomorrow</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/elvinletter/SQPeKdaDjII/AAAAAAAACgs/hSxCQv6weiY/20048633325194-8x6.jpg" title="" rel="thumbnail"&gt;&lt;img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/elvinletter/SQPeMVE4LVI/AAAAAAAACgw/D9DlCw6GIl0/20048633325194.png" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/elvinletter/SQPeMVE4LVI/AAAAAAAACgw/D9DlCw6GIl0/20048633325194.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;++&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Did you waste the day?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;At Days End Is anybody happier because you passed his way?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The day is almost over, and its toiling time is through; Is there anyone with a kindly word of you?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that's slipping fast, That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said; Does the man whose hopes were fading, now with courage look ahead?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/elvinletter/SQPeHHIeMfI/AAAAAAAACgg/my9o_YJE4qw/ceanniversarygift1119.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/elvinletter/SQPeJHU-2lI/AAAAAAAACgk/6lrLH0y3QPs/ceanniversarygift11_thumb13.jpg" style="border-width: 0px;" alt="ce anniversary-gift11" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/elvinletter/SQPeJHU-2lI/AAAAAAAACgk/6lrLH0y3QPs/ceanniversarygift11_thumb13.jpg" border="0" width="298" height="238" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you waste the day, or lose it?

Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile. &lt;br /&gt;4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special. &lt;br /&gt;5.

In tenth grade&lt;/strong&gt; your idea of a good friend was the person who changed their schedule so you would have someone to sit with at lunch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;In eleventh grade&lt;/strong&gt; your idea of a good friend was the person who gave you rides in their new car, convinced your parents that you shouldn't be grounded, consoled you when you broke up with Nick or Susan, and found you a date to the prom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;13.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;In twelfth grade&lt;/strong&gt; your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pick out a college, assured you that you would get into that college, helped you deal with your parents who were having a hard time adjusting to the idea of letting you go...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;14.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;At graduation&lt;/strong&gt; your idea of a good friend was the person who was crying on the inside but managed the biggest smile one could give as they congratulated you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;15. The summer after twelfth grade&lt;/strong&gt; your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you clean up the bottles from that party, helped you sneak out of the house when you just couldn't deal with your parents, assured you that now that you and Jerry or you and Susie were back together, you could make through anything, helped you pack up for college and just silently hugged you as you looked through blurry eyes at 18 years of memories you were leaving behind, and finally on those last days of childhood, went out of their way to come over and send you off with a hug, a lot of memories, reassurance that you would make it in college as well as you had these past 18 years, and most importantly sent you off to college knowing you were loved.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;16. Now&lt;/strong&gt;, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the better of the two choices, &lt;strong&gt;hold your hand when you're scared&lt;/strong&gt;, helps you fight off those who try to take advantage of you, &lt;strong&gt;thinks of you at times when you are not there&lt;/strong&gt;, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put the past behind you but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer, &lt;strong&gt;stays with you so that you have confidence&lt;/strong&gt;, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, helps you deal with pressure from others, smiles for you when they are sad, helps you become a better person, and most importantly loves you!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you miss your good friend?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 1.5em;

Nobody expects you to be &lt;a href="http://myelvin.blogspot.com/2008/03/ideal-person.html"&gt;perfect &lt;/a&gt;and most appreciate seeing the "human" side of people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus, showing people that THEY don't have to be perfect, just as you are not perfect, helps them feel more confident that they can do it too.

"There are only two ways of bringing brightness into your world; either change your attitude or open the closed doors of your brain"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This holds true in all our lives; we all deserve a good &amp;amp; peaceful life, full of happiness. Our struggle to lead a better life and to grow everyday, both professionally and personally is highly appreciable; time and again we face situations which are highly abstruse, stress building and killer of our enthusiasm and high morale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many ways of handling such situations; but effective handling and analyzing is imperative to counteract, come to a conclusion which basically satisfies our conscience; the mirror of truth, further enhancing our self confidence and high esteem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will happen only when our attitude towards life is changed, our thinking process is towards a side which is extremely positive drawing our attention to things which we actually ignore, widening our focus to observe, understand and act accordingly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As one of the interviewee answered to the query of the interviewer, the glass is half filled with water, rather half empty, this attitude which is challenging, positive and appreciable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each and every one of us are capable, skilled, knowledgeable but manier times we work emotionally rather thinking practically. If anybody can bring change in your life, then it's you, you, and only you. Remember, nothing happens by chance, you have to take action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whenever you achieve or lose something important, ask your self…… why? How? Analyze? You will and you only can overcome the obstacles and tastes the success, which is sweet like honey, bringing lots of accolades ……… your way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mhsqv0d0kBo/SAGsoytJnNI/AAAAAAAABMU/PIJEdSzq3_o/s1600-h/3_3739.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188618062513413330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mhsqv0d0kBo/SAGsoytJnNI/AAAAAAAABMU/PIJEdSzq3_o/s400/3_3739.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By:Srivathshan Nagarajan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://myelvin.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://myelvin.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to:Srivathshan Nagarajan.&lt;br /&gt;MBA,BA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="fullpost"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;http://feeds.feedburner.com/myElvin&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880108618494071412-7676164182686206462?l=myelvin.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880108618494071412/posts/default/7676164182686206462'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880108618494071412/posts/default/7676164182686206462'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://myelvin.blogspot.com/2008/03/there-are-only-two-ways-to-brightness.html' title='There are only two ways to brightness your world'/><author><name>Me</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14977032286013139108</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15710577320378859340'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mhsqv0d0kBo/SAGsoytJnNI/AAAAAAAABMU/PIJEdSzq3_o/s72-c/3_3739.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880108618494071412.post-4190573829128286456</id><published>2008-03-18T21:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-18T21:15:11.647-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Essential points'/><title type='text'>20 essential points toward positive thinking.</title><content type='html'>These 20 points are the essential point towards positive thinking.20 Ways Of Training The Mind On Positive Thinking....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;1. Start the day with cheers and smiles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your whole day depends on how you greet the morning. Therefore, as long as you welcome it with energy and high spirits, everything will go okay. You don't want the rest of the day to get ruined, do you? Come on, smile! It doesn't cost anything but is worth everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. Ask for guidance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only God knows what we will be having on the day ahead of us. He will surely appreciate a few minutes of praying and asking for guidance from Him. Also, have faith on Him that He is more than willing to grant our requests as long as it is for our own good. With God as our guide, we don't have any reason not to say and believe in the thought that I can do this. I can make it through this day. Nothing is impossible. After all, God is with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3. Plan the day ahead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To avoid mistakes that will cause negative output on your daily activities that will later on become negative thoughts, it is better to plan your work first; after which, work your plan. Make sure today's goals are clearly defined and absorbed by your mind. This can be done even before you get out of bed each day, just so immediate addressing issues as they arise can be avoided.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4. Keep your mind focused on important things.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Set goals and priorities for what you think and do. Visualize practicing your actions. Develop a strategy for dealing with problems. Concentrate on things that need to be taken seriously, but at the same time, take time to relax and enjoy. This way, favorable results may take place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5. Be detached from the outcome.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They say that life is like a Ferris Wheel; sometimes, you're on the top, and sometimes at the bottom. This means that there will be times in our lives where some things would not turn out according to what we want them to be. Don't be annoyed if you don't get what you desire. However, do your best in everything you do. Only, don't get too attached on the probable results that may only cause disappointments and upsets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;6. Try new things and challenges.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See learning and changes as opportunities. There's nothing wrong in changing attitudes and routines as long as they are for the good and improvement of who you are and what you do. Doing new things may include considering more options for a project, meeting new people from different places, asking lots of questions. Through this, the flow of thinking is directed to improvement and negative thoughts will be easily eradicated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;7. Balance your desires.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We live in a place of opposites and duality – gain and loss, pleasure and pain, light and dark, male and female, love and hate. This is how the cycle of life goes. We can never have all the good things in life at the same time. In love, there will always be someone who gets hurt. In wealth, there will always be people who will not be fortunate enough. Measure and moderation is the primary key.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;8. Be realistic.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure that what you want is something possible. Hoping for something to happen which would never really materialize in real life will only bring you disappointment. For instance, you wish to lose weight. Therefore, you have to set a goal and act on appropriate measures within a period of time to achieve what you wish. Hey, No one can get slimmer overnight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;9. Keep track of your ment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;al and physical health.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This way, you will know how far you can keep believing.&lt;br /&gt;Know yourself. There is no other person in the world who can tell who you really are. Know your passions, favorites, and principles. Spend some quality time by yourself – reading, listening to music, day dreaming, and the likes. If you know yourself completely, you will be aware of how far can you go physically, mentally, and emotionally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;10. Love yourself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before you expect for other people to love and adore you, it is always you who needs to love yourself first. Make a positive commitment to yourself, to learning, work, family, friends, nature, and other worthwhile causes. Praise yourself as much as you praise others once in a while. When you start feeling confident about yourself, positive thoughts will naturally flow to your mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;11. Laugh.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy. Have fun. Looking at the brighter side of life starts with entertainment and pleasure. Laughter is the best medicine, so they say. Whether your illness is physical or emotional, a few laughs and giggles can help you throw away heavy baggage such as anxiety, disappointment, or nervousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;12. Keep a list of your goals and actions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Familiarize yourself with things you want to accomplish and with the ways you must undertake to complete them. By the time you are certain of what you want to do and carry out in your life, a stronger mind and will power will exist within you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;13. Associate with positive people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In every classroom, work place, or simply anywhere you go where there are groups of people, look for optimistic ones. There are lots of them, I'm sure. Associate with them, hang-out, discuss matters. They can help you build self-confidence and self-esteem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;14. Make it a habit to ask&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; questions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not equal to dumbness and ignorance; rather, it is associated with seeking more information and understanding matters clearly. With more knowledge, there is also more power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;15. Be open.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have to accept the fact that we don't know everything. And that we are continuously learning in every place we go, with every people we meet as everyday passes. We should not close our minds to new ideas and information that comes our way. Our mind is so spacious that it is impossible to fill it up completely. Thus, we should accept worthy things that may help us become better and brighter persons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;16. Have trust in other people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although it may seem difficult and risky to give trust to just any people, when you believe in them or confident on what they are doing for you, doubts and negative judgments on them will be unnecessary. Also, it will bring harmonious relationships between you and your colleagues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;17. Forgive and forget.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mistakes and failures are the root causes of negative thinking. If we somehow learn to let go of all the pain, agony, and fear we try to keep inside our hearts and minds, then there will be nothing more to block our clear thoughts from being expressed. Forgive yourself for committing mistakes and forget these mistakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;18. Learn from experiences.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Learning inside the classroom is different from learning outside it. In school, one learns the lesson first before taking an exam; while in real life, one takes the test first before learning the lesson. This test in the real life is our experiences. If we failed in that test, i.e. the experience is not so good, we study the situation and learn the lesson. From here, we can avoid committing the same mistake twice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;19. Count your blessings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Focus on what you have rather than what you don't have. Absence of our desires will only bring discontentment and disappointment that will only waste our time. Instead, be thankful and appreciative with all the blessings we receive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;20. Kiss your worries goodbye.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of everyday, before going to sleep, there is no need to keep bad experiences and unhappy moments that had happened in the day within you. Let them go, throw them out of the window and kiss them goodbye. Dream sweetly. As a new day unfolds, new hope arises. Keep believing. Always have faith.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you believe that you can attain anything your heart desires? I'm telling you, you can!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/myElvin"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mhsqv0d0kBo/R-CRsYI8ztI/AAAAAAAABFE/dy_QyA1nNNs/s400/the+motivaton+garden.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179299763056332498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Rene Graeber uses and teaches will power and mind control for more than 10 years.
