Henry Ford once said "Whether you think you can or you think you think you can't..your'e right!"
Early in the morning, during the day or late at night....I want to know what you are saying to yourself. Are you one of those types of people saying that even though you have adversity in life or obstacles in your way they are temporary?
Or...
Are you the type that is thinking about the multitude of ways you can fail at your personal and professional goals?
Optimist or Pessimist?
Or....wait...gasp..are you a.....realist?
You know, one of those people who believe in expecting the best, but plan for the worst?
Do you even know the difference?
Let me share my quick views..
I am not a fan of anything but being an optimist. Failing at something is often a surprise to me. I fully expect to succeed in all things I do and enjoy the trip to "Success Town" every moment of the way.
Does that mean that I don't have contingency plans? Of course I do. But.....I don't focus on what can go wrong versus how it will look and feel when it goes right.
Do you see the difference?
Mind set and the direction of your thoughts are the foundation of how you deal with adversity.
It is how you turn any possible set backs...into comebacks.
It is how you turn a maybe into a will be.
Whether is that new job, a new love or a personal project that you have planned to be a part of your journey. The picture you have and hold in your mind and heart is just as important as the hard work and initiative you put into it.
Aim high...never sell yourself short and keep moving forward even when you fall down.
Possibility over deniability.
Inside Work...Outside Results...
