Downsizing trends and the changing global market require people to reinvent themselves and think like entrepreneurs.
Change your thinking. Change your life! Your thoughts create your reality. Practice positive thinking. Act the way you want to be, and soon you will be the way you act.
The only thing that can possibly keep you from going after your dreams is the person standing in your shoes, wearing your clothes, and thinking your negative thoughts.
You must think of failure and defeat as the spring boards to new achievements, and to the next level of accomplishment.
If you spend a lot of time thinking about your problems, they'll grow bigger and stronger. Is that what you want? Of course not!Instead, focus on your goals. Start your day with them at the front of your mind, and use notes to recall them strategically throughout your day.
You can start over again! Don't even think about quitting now! It is easy to replay in your mind how things did not work, how much you lost, what you are going through, how angry you are. There is no amount of conversation or magic that is going to wipe the slate clean. You are wasting valuable time and energy that could be used to regain a new normal and start another version of your life. Even though you are hurt and you may be feeling down — stop kicking yourself! Face what has happened. Make the decision to start over again.
Be willing to go all out, in pursuit of your dream. Ultimately it will pay off. You are more powerful than you think you are.
It's important to me that money not be important to me.
Don't let the negativity given to you by the world disempower you. Instead give to yourself that which empowers you.
You are the only real obstacle in your path to a fulfilling life.
Believe that you possess a basic goodness, which is the foundation for the greatness you can ultimately achieve.
People couldn't get down here. They couldn't find it, so they'd go a different way and go somewhere else.
Somebody's going to get hurt because of it,
Some people would rather get even instead of get ahead.
