Get Tough!

"One of the mental toughness secrets of the world class is laughing in the face of pressure, pain, and fear. No matter how big the problem may seem, it won't matter in 100 years. A good mental strategy is doing the opposite of the masses. When the masses are freaking out, you should be laughing. This isn't frivolous, it's street smart. The middle class performer waking up at night worried about the economy is the victim of his/her own fear based thinking. Scared people make short term, irrational decisions. Stay strong and clear headed by hanging loose and laughing at the folly of life. If you can, you'll be happier and more creative in problem solving when times are tough, and you'll be unstoppable and even happier when good times return. The million dollar bonus is once you've stared fear in the face and prospered, you'll never be afraid of tough times again." -Steve Siebold, CSP

Seriously sista...This man's quote is an asset to your "mental cashflow statement." If you think back and consider all of the things in life that you chose not to do simply because of pressure, pain, or fear, then I am sure you would probably want to step on your own foot. Well...you have been stepping on your own foot the whole time, and quite possibly tripping over your own feet by allowing that fear to keep you from moving forward. You can fall down all day long, but just remember that the success is in getting back up again. Furthermore, learning and laughing about it brings positive increase to your character. So, go ahead and fall. Just remember to get up laughing. Seriously sista...we won't laugh at you, but we will laugh with you.
