The Ten-Day Mental Challenge


Again, remember that you have a multitude of strategies for changing your state. 

 You could ask yourself a more empowering question like "What could I learn from this?" or "What's great about this situation, and what's not yet perfect?" These questions will lead you into resourceful states where you'll find solutions instead of dwelling on and habitually running the cycle of increased anger and frustration. 

 How many other ways could you change your state if you were really committed?

 Remember, our goal is not to ignore the problems of life, but to put ourselves in better mental and emotional states where we can, not only come up with solutions, but act upon them. 

 Those people who focus on what they can't control are  continually disempowered.Yes, it's true, we can't control the wind or the rain or the other vagaries of weather, but we can tack our sails in a way that allows us to shape the direction of our lives.

 When I first considered going on Fox's mental diet, I believed that staying positive would get me hurt After all, I had been positive in the past and my expectations weren't met. I had felt devastated. Eventually, though, I found that by changing my focus I was able to take more control of my life by avoiding the problem state and immediately focussing on solutions. My requests for inner answers were quickly met when I was in a resourceful state. 

 Every great, successful person I know shares the capacity to remain centered,clear and powerful in the midst of emotional "storms". How do they accomplish this? Most of them have a fundamental rule: In life, never spend more than 10 percent of your time on the  problem, and spend at least 90 percent of your time on the solution. Most important, don't sweat the small stuff... and remember, it's all small stuff!

 If you decide that you're going to take on my Ten-Day Challenge- and I sense you will, since you've made it this far in the book - then realize that for the next ten days, you're going to spend 100 percent of your time on solutions, and no time on problems!.

 But won't this make the problems worse?"
If I don't worry about my problems, won't they get out of control?" I seriously doubt it. Ten days of focusing entirely upon solutions, on what's great in your life, on what works and how lucky you are will not make your problems worse. But these new patterns may make you so strong that what you once thought was a problem may disappear as you assume a new identity of an unstoppable and joyous human being.... ..... ....

INVESTING : Can You Borrow Money to Buy Stocks?

  It seems like an obvious move. We’re in a bull market and stocks are soaring. Interest rates are still near historic lows. If you can borrow money at a single-digit annual interest rate, you should be able to earn enough in the market to pay off the loan and earn a substantial profit. But how does that work in practice? Can you borrow money to buy stocks? And more importantly, should you? Let’s take a closer look. Yes, You Can Borrow Money to Buy Stocks The simple answer to the question is yes: you can invest borrowed money in stocks. It’s a risky strategy. It’s also quite popular, especially during bull markets. Some people have used it very effectively and made money. Others have lost, sometimes badly. That’s the simple answer, but how do you go about doing it? The decision to invest with bor rowed money comes down to comparing the cost of borrowing versus the expected investment returns… If the returns exceed the cost, then the transaction makes economic sense. How Can You Inv...

The Magnificent Obsession - Creating A Compelling Future....

GIANT GOALS PRODUCE GIANT MOTIVATION So often, people ask me, "Where do I get my energy? With all that intensity, no wonder you're so successful. I just don't have your drive; I guess  I'm not motivated. I guess I'm lazy." My usual response is, "You're not lazy! You just have impotent goals!" Frequently I get a confused look to this response, at which point I explain that my level of excitement and drive comes from my goals. Every morning when I wake up, even if I feel physically exhausted from a lack of sleep, I'll still find the drive I need because my goals are so exciting to me. They get me up early, keep me up late, and inspire me to marshal my resources and use everything I can possibly find within the sphere of my influence to bring them to fruition. The same energy and sense of mission is available to you now, but it will never be awakened  by puny goals. The first step is to develop bigger, more inspiring, more challenging ...

Take control of your financial l future...

Today we will learn about Finance  and the keys to building lasting wealth.  Wealth  today, has become a very critical aspect of our lives.Most of the tensions in life, relationship problems and self-esteem problems is because of  lack of wealth.  People don't see  who or what you are, they see  WHAT YOU HAVE.  We are often judged by our economic status.    We fail to remember that  "Money was made for Man, and not Man for Money".   True, wealth is important, but so also are human values. You may have all the wealth in the world but you may be too old to enjoy it, or you may have a  major illness which does not allow you to enjoy your wealth. Then what use is the wealth?  When we are young, our whole life goes by working hard in our jobs to  create wealth. Then after 30 or 40 years are over we find out that the wealth needs to be maintained so we work more hard to keep our wealth and we ...
