* Problem:
A bathtub is overflowing. Someone left the faucet on. The water is coming in faster than it is draining out. Bummer!
* Solution:
a.- Mop up day and night forever-
b.-Turn the faucet 'OFF'-
Feel like you're mopping up all the time, doing the same thing over and over again and not getting your desired results?
* A Reminder To Savvy-Minded Internet Marketeers.
* Why a reminder?
Because sometimes we are so caught up in the world of effect that we forget that we are the cause to our success or struggle, not circumstances, not other people. We're too busy hoping to get lucky that we forget nothing in the universe happens by luck. We're too busy trying to make things happen in our favor rather than naturally let things happen in our favor. We're hypnotized into believing success depends upon being at the 'right' place at the right time and finding the 'right' biz opportunity. Humbug!
æ * There is one thing and one thing only that determines individual success or struggle, and it's not circumstances or luck. After all, there are those that struggle even in the best of times with a 'primo' situation or opportunity, while some quite easily prosper in a 'stinko' economy even with a marginal or 'not so hot' situation or opportunity. Of course it is not unusual for the struggle-minded to think they are unlucky while the success-minded think they are lucky. But we know better, don't we? We'd better.
* The one thing that will determine personal success or struggle is...................you guessed it, 'attitude.' Yup, you heard it a gazillion times before, 'attitude is everything.' Maybe its not taken seriously enough. It should be.
"The greatest discovery of the 20th Century is, that our state of mind creates our quality of life, not circumstances." William James, father of modern day psychology.
* Strategies for transforming recurring struggle into great successes that do not include breaking the attitudinal habits that create struggle in the first place is like mopping up all the time, getting nowhere. That's just the way it is.
* The best life enhancing opportunities are invisible to the struggle-minded, and the best of the great life enhancing ideas are blocked by the struggle minded.
*Here is your assignment:
With a ball-point or felt tip pen draw a happy face on your thumb. Two dots for the eyes, a smile for the mouth : ) Look at your thumb and affirm the following:
* Today I am receptive to more of the best there is. Anything less than best is just none of my biz.
Glance at your thumb during the course of the day. What you think about, you bring about. Successful people don't think about struggle the way struggle people do. The happy face will act as a powerful triggering device that will remind you that you are not confined to habitual struggle-minded notions however insignificant they may seem. It is a very effective process for de-hypnotizing yourself, to some degree, from whatever 'struggle' tendencies that might be lurking somewhere in your belief system.
The more you are familiar with the above affirmation with your energy of conviction, the more you shape an attitude that causes you to be aware of greater life- enhancing ideas and opportunities not available to the habitual struggle-minded who are too busy mopping up.
Should you accept this assignment, don't be surprised to find yourself experiencing more of your innate ability to prosper and thrive in greater ways, effortlessly ......whatever you happen to be doing. Even doing what you are now doing, but in a more creative and expansive way. As a matter of fact, you can expect it. Wanna bet?
