Revision~

Do you remember the analogy, "If you point a finger at someone, how many are pointing back at you?" We go through life, without trying to change things by pointing fingers of blame. We even go as far as saying, it's because republicans are in office. NO! In order for things to change, YOU have to change. Do you and others understand that? One of my favorite quotes I caught from a psychology professor is, "Never underestimate the power of the situation to remember who you are." -Chris Coleman, PHD. If you think that the power of the situation is the reason for things not going right in your life, then you are the problem. It's not the situation, but how you address it. We can blame others for not making money, we can blame others for not succeeding in life, but when will you get over yourself, everyone else has! Failure, is a stepping stone for the future, it's a learning experience that you must meet. If you don't fail, you fail to realize that there is opportunity in the world. Risk takers are security makers- Denis Whaitley, PHD. Dr Whaitley says a PHD, formal education, only has a 14 month shelf life. Piled High and Deep, won't mean anything, unless you do something with it. I feel he used his iexperiences at his best! He's inspirational and motivating. Credibility and personal longevity is how he gained respect in audience form. He worked harder on himself, proved to himself, and others that he can accomplish what you put yourself to. He says that it's good to have many trades, but if you want to be successful, you need to be REALLY good at one thing. I am not very good yet, with this stuff called personal development, but I know that I will get better. I'm working on myself harder than I work on anything else. I say my weakness, I will let the public know, "That I care too much about what others think and I let it cloud my judgement." No more! That's why my associations are limited, that's why my associations are slim. You are an example of the five people you are closest to, who do you associate with? Your income is also the average of the five most closest people you hang around with. Are they impacting lives, or are they distracting the one life that counts the most, your own. Change is a hard word to swallow, no one ever blames themselves, no one ever believes that it could actually be thier fault. Be the bigger person and admit when you are wrong, or not great enough YET to lead others to achievement. That just may be the biggest change and the first step towards greater achievement for yourself.
