I am currently at this stage right now.. I feel like I’m the brink of something exciting and that would be real change with a positive mindset. In searching to open my mind and see the possibilities that come with the decision to succeed, I am starting to realize that yes – when you eliminate failure as an option, what you’re at is a different picture. You know – a “no floor? swing across” philosophy.

I agree with this statement “There are always going to be conditions and circumstances beyond my control. What is fully within my control is to constantly improve myself, diligently prepare myself to receive new opportunities and to commit to the unwavering decision that on difficult ground, I will press on.”

so wholeheartedly and I wish you the very best on the way up in your life.
I am working on doing the same

Thanks for the kind comments!

At a recent presentation one of the participants raised her hand and said, “I’m really enjoying your message, but how do you deal when everything is really hitting the fan?”

I said, “You’re talking to the right guy!”

All of us face challenges. Each of us has the same basic choice: Quit or Keep Going! That’s why it’s so important for people to access motivational speakers like yourself, to read inspirational books and find movies with a great message like Apollo 13.

Some will say that speakers, books & movies really can’t make a difference. To them I say, OK, then read books full of desperation, watch reality TV and listen to people who tell you that life sucks!

Does that help?

I don’t ask speakers, authors and actors to do the work for me; I simply appreciate the inspiration and that helps me to keep going.

Mentors and advisers are also key people on your success team. Pick people who have “walked the walk.” When I give someone advice about getting through a tough time I know what I’m talking about: I’ve been there! I’ll be there again! Now I know better how to handle it.

Please keep up the great work and if you’d like, get in touch with me! Maybe we can work together to help spread this message!

Best,
Jim

Too many people use the first hurdle they come up against as a reason to stop. Creating your best life is about overcoming the obstacles that life continually challenges us with.
Great Post!
