Transform Sadness Into Motivation

"You can easily and naturally transform sadness into motivation. You can transform the regrets into powerful and unstoppable determination." Found @ The Daily Motivator

I'm personally going through some hard business issues right now and I read this today and it made me stop feeling sorry for myself. It opened my eyes to realize that there are no mistakes only lessons to learn from. All the looking back to the past, feeling sorry, getting angry are just forms of emotion I can easily transform into positive ones.

My focus is to look at how I can improve the situation with the resources I have and the things I know now. I can use the motivation to never let it happen again to improve every aspect of my business and life. By always having those lessons in my mind I can better avoid those from happening again.

Life isn't about regretting or "what ifs" it's about living, loving and enjoying every moment you have. No matter what the outcome I'm still here and that in itself is gift to be treasured.

Time is more valuable than money. Because you can always make more money but you can never make more time. It's a hard thing to sallow when there are large amounts of money to be lost but I would rather loose that money than the time I could spend worrying about it.

YOUR TRIALS AND SORROWS DEVELOP YOU

I subscribed to a new motivational email recently, www.yourdailymotivation.com, and after reading a few I was inspired to start writing more again. It's hard to get motivated and stay motivated most times. But through constant reinforcement and putting yourself in the correct situation then it's going to happen.

The most recent email I got started with this line :

"Trouble is the common denominator of living."

That got me thinking about how everybody always has problems, but it's the ones that look for oppurtunities within those problems that succeed. Everybody has the same 24 hour days to get stuff done, it's how we choose to use those hours that makes the difference.

The email finished on this line :

"What happens to you is not as important as how you react to what happens."

That line is so true in it's words. Nothing is ever just handed over to you, you have to work for what you get, and sometimes you have to work hard. The key is that you never give up and always move forward.

It felt good to write again and I hope I can stick to it like I did before. I've setup my surroundings to make it possible to stick to it, I've set a goal, and I have a plan. As long as I keep moving forward then success is bound to happen in one form or another. My biggest issue for stopping was the lose of my old email newsletter. I let that problem affect me in the wrong way, so I went out and found a new one which is even better. So that problem was really an oppurtunity for me improve.

Who are you?

Self Image

Who does self image effect? Who cares about your self image? Who knows about your self image?

The answer above is not others, the answer is you! It's always going to be you.

We spend so much time worrying about what others think of us. We are always worry about how we are perceived by others. In the end we are only worrying and stress about ourselves. That worry and concern becomes what others see, they never see what ever it is we want them to see.

I have this issue, not near as bad as it once was, but I still catch myself worrying about how I must look. What I have learned to do is be aware of myself and stop myself from worrying. Being aware of yourself is not the same as self image. Being aware is very important so you can learn more about who you are and to help build confidence in yourself. The better you know yourself the less you worry about others and how you look. It's a great feeling when you can just be you and just "be".

We are who we are and from time to time we need others to tell us. It's hard for people to admit they are not what they think they are. It's even harder to accept that we can never be what we want to be. I can never be a lead singer, I can never be a great painter, but I can be play a part in a great band, and I there are many ways to be an artist besides drawing.

We have be selfish and only be concerned with ourselves. We can never do anything in life for others. This may seem to be the opposite type of thinking, but what it means is just do what needs to get done for you to be happy and as long you are right minded and conscious of others then those things are going to help others.

You can't be concerned about what you leave behind, only be concerned about where you are going. And only "you" can get there so you are the only one "you" need to think about along the way.

Please take the time to go read The way of the Superior Man by David Deida and also listen to as much David DeAngelo as possible. These concepts are not just for men or just for trying to pickup. They are life lessons on how to be the best person you can be and how to succeed at everyhting you want. Another great book on how to just learn to be aware and in the moment is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.

SUCCESSFUL ACTION IS CUMULATIVE IN RESULTS

I was going to try and start doing these emails with out the daily guru, but they are so good and I think they needed to be shared. Some people then think this blog/email is just me coping out by using the guru but I don't see it that way. I see it as me passing along some awesome insight and adding my spice to it.

The part in this guru where is says the faster you grow the faster you wither. But the slower (I'll say stronger) you grow the longer you'll last. Your idea/business needs a strong foundation to last the test of time. Look at the Billion dollar companies in the word, and then how long they've been around. I could throw up a quick website and spam a crap load of people and make a few thousand dollars, but then it's gone. But what if I setup a site that made steady hundreds and lasted the test of time. It would take longer to reach the same amount but the second one would keep on going.

Here's a simple money quiz.
- I just got 6K
- I have a 6K loan that is costing me $600/mth for 1 year
- I have an offer to buy a house for 6K that makes $300/mth
Where do you put the money??

Play with the numbers and see where your break even number is based on time, input and output. Don't forget to keep in mind every month a payment is made on that house more equity is being put in your assets. Then take that thought and think about how much in the hole the house can put you each month before it's not worth it. I have a house I loose money every month. I made money when I bought and the value of the house increased every year, and mortgage keeps getting paid off. Some people think I'm stupid, so to shut them up I bought a house that made money and now I break even :0

SUCCESSFUL ACTION IS CUMULATIVE IN RESULTS

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
Many people take the first step and stop.
Yet, with every additional step you take, you enhance immensely
the value of your first step.

All masters of success are chiefly distinguished by their power
of adding a second, a third and perhaps a forth step in a
continuous line.

There is no royal road to anything.
One thing at a time, all things in succession is the rule of life.
That which grows fast, withers as rapidly.
That which grows slowly, endures.

Do not despise the bottom rings in your ascent to greatness.
