Anybody have the roadmap?



I, like many others have times when hearing positive thoughts and constructive ideas are very welcomed. Some times it's just what you need at that moment. I hear people saying that we need it now more than ever, because of the hard economic times. But I doubt that now is any more necessary than any other time. Who can't use a positive thought whether times are good or bad? So I have decided to devote some blog time to this subject. Please pass this along to those you know. I would love this to be something that touches many lives, and gives some food for thought for that day.



So does anyone really have the roadmap to life or a career? If we did then I guess today's blog would be an easy write :)

"Be ready when opportunity comes. Luck is the time when preparation and opportunity meet."~ Roy D. Chapin Jr.

I truly believe that we have opportunities at our door everyday. It's up to us as to whether we take that opportunity or choose to let it pass. We all know that sometimes the opportunity may look like it doesn't quite fit us, or that we may not have everything 'WE' feel we need to say yes to it. But therein lies so much of our fate. Belief in ourself.

The mind is a powerful tool. If you think that you can't do something, I know it will come true. BUT if you feel that you can do something, no matter how daunting the task, you will be able to do it no matter what gets in your way. This is how to do it: Eliminate all distractions, and keep your focus on the final goal. When you do this, the little speed bumps along the way that tend to those that are not doing the 2 above things, will not even be noticeable. It will all seem as a part of the process to get to your final goal. We all tend to get caught up on the speed bumps. Look at those as an affirmation that you are on the right path.

Nothing worth having comes easily. Remember this little phrase when you are frustrated and it will put everything back into perspective.


So to end today's topic I want to ask a question that I would love to hear your thoughts on.

What will you do to get back your focus when you become distracted from your goal?
