It Never Rains On A Right Attitude!

Written by Richard Vegas


The decision to win in life belongs to you, not to anyone else. No one else can make that decision for you. No one else can open uprepparttar top of your head and pour a can of luck down inside of you. The victory is available to you, so isrepparttar 123393 defeat. Notice I saidrepparttar 123394 victory is "available", not automatic!

Feast Or Famine!

Have you ever noticed how things come and go in cycles? Everything in nature has cycles and so does victory and defeat. When we are inrepparttar 123395 victory cycle everything we do just falls in place. When we're inrepparttar 123396 defeat cycle even our crystal ball will tell us, no, that was just a "snow ball" that hit you! Yeah, Right!

It seemsrepparttar 123397 victory cycle always ends too quickly andrepparttar 123398 defeat cycle always lasts too long. I don't think there is really a great imbalance here, but it really does seem like it especially inrepparttar 123399 defeat cycle.

Why do some people seem to settle intorepparttar 123400 defeat cycle? One reason is many people somehow think subconsciously they are getting what they deserve. Don't laugh! I have met and talked to them. This may not be a problem with you, and it's strange but they think mistakes they've made, and decisions they've made arerepparttar 123401 reasons.

There is something that gets cross-wired in their brain and actually makes them feel better to cause some form of lasting pain or punishment to themselves. And,repparttar 123402 longer they go through it,repparttar 123403 better they feel because they're removing guilt.

And, Round And Round We Go!

But, about as quick asrepparttar 123404 guilt disappears, thenrepparttar 123405 circumstances suddenly reappear and they realize they didn't obtain what they desired, their emotions hit another bottom andrepparttar 123406 defeat cycle starts over again.

If this has ever happened to you take courage, there is very effective way out of it. But, torepparttar 123407 person going through this dilemma it's tragic; because their attitude makesrepparttar 123408 pain ofrepparttar 123409 circumstances much worse.

But, when a person comes to an understanding of their purpose and reason for living, he realizes that it's not something he deserves and opensrepparttar 123410 way to become a renewed man.

It's as if that old attitude has been erased and a new life has been formed. At one time or another maybe you feel like you've failed in life. And, maybe you feel like you're stuck in a rut of defeat. But, just because you've failed and made some mistakes, doesn't mean you have to settle for a cycle of defeat to more failure. All-Out-War!

In everyone's life a little rain must fall, but, not everyday. And, if rain is an everyday occurrence with you then it's time to chase that demon allrepparttar 123411 way across West Texas and stir up some victory stronger than a garlic milkshake. And,repparttar 123412 first thing to do is make an attitude adjustment.

"Oh No," I can hear somebody saying now! "My attitude is just fine." No it's not! Don't get mad at me now. I'm just a messenger. If you're in a cycle of defeat that's been your best friend so long it keeps you rubbing where you've already got a rash, then we need to do some attitude adjusting.

Withoutrepparttar 123413 proper attitude toward your circumstances, you will have a near impossible time of turning failure into victory. It's not that an "attitude" by itself changes anything; it's thatrepparttar 123414 right attitude puts you inrepparttar 123415 right frame of mind to recognizerepparttar 123416 change when it comes.

Do you want to know what a failure is? I thought so. A failure is nothing more than circumstances that need a different perspective. You can take any failure you're going through and turn it into a victory. But, you've got to be able to seerepparttar 123417 big picture. And,repparttar 123418 right attitude is what will allow you to seerepparttar 123419 big picture.

Looks Can Be Deceiving!

Withoutrepparttar 123420 right attitude you will only see what it looks like. And, what it looks like is not what it really is. There is somewhere hidden in that mess you're going through a breakthrough that will cause you to start dancing.

Can You Make a “Torpedo” Out of Personal Junk? How to Optimize What You Have

Written by Michael G. Rayel, MD


“Junkyard Wars,” a TV series showed two teams of experts contending for a title. The aim ofrepparttar competition was for teams to construct a torpedo that can hit a target. Butrepparttar 123392 challenge was more than justrepparttar 123393 process of construction. The challenge was creating a torpedo out of a junk.

Each team had crafted a unique design and members wasted no time looking for junks — hoses, batteries, propellers, tubes, and engines. After several hours of hard work and meticulous technical maneuverings, both teams finishedrepparttar 123394 project. The team that used a propeller to thrustrepparttar 123395 torpedo won.

I’m amazed that people can actually make something innovative out of nothing. And in a short time! For me, it doesn’t matter which team won. As far as effort and creativity are concerned, both teams won big time.

Can we make a “torpedo” out of our personal junk? How can we optimize what we have?

I feel sad when people blame everyone and everything except themselves when something bad happens in their lives. I know a 30-year-old man who can’t seem to pursue a career. He quits jobs as quickly as he changes clothes. Because of his perceived “misfortunes,” he accuses employers and co-workers of politicking, blames parents for not supporting him enough, faults his neighborhood for “bad Luck,” and even chides his looks and genes for his desperate circumstances.

In reality, this man is considered lucky by current standards. Despite his complaints, he actually finished a degree in an expensive private school and was raised in a middle class neighborhood by supportive and educated parents.

In my opinion, this man is making a junk out of his privileged status.

Compare this man to Mama Teeya. At age 60, she migrated to North America with her husband. When she came, she didn’t know how to drive a car so she had to walk to look for work — even in winter. Trying to save money, she moved from one apartment torepparttar 123396 next more affordable shelter. While everyone was asleep, she was working. Rain or shine, she walked to work with umbrella in tow.

After five years working two minimum wage jobs — as gas station attendant and hotel janitress — and some babysitting onrepparttar 123397 side, Mama Teeya and her husband (who worked at 7 Eleven) had saved enough money to afford a small two-bedroom townhouse unit. Eventually, they managed to buy a brand new Hyundai and a rusty seven-year old Oldsmobile. Despite her meager income, she supported her nieces and nephews attain college degrees by sending hard earned dollar to her home country.
