If you say you can't – then you can't.

Only you can fix “I can’t”.

As you change, so your world changes.

If you change yourself, the world you see, and the world that responds to you, will change.

In this way, you can change your world.

Interested?

Been to the bottom?

If you have been to the bottom, or started there, you are stronger for it.  

Why?  Because you know how to survive there, and how to get out.  You know that if you wound up there again, you aren’t the same person as you were before when you were there.  You aren’t so afraid as others who have never been there.

Push off the bottom, to the top.

“Can’t hurt me.”

Thought into action.

This is how you work –

It’s the nature of thought to find its way into action.

All action is preceded by thought.

You can control your thoughts.

So, what are you thinking about?

Clarity

"So open minded your brain falls out"

These days there are some crazy things going on.  “You have to be open-minded” you may hear.  

Open mind – fine.  But you can’t be completely and forever open-minded to everything.  Based on what you learned by being open-minded, you eventually have to stand for something.

I stand for good character, financial responsibility, intact loving families, and doing your best at all you choose to do.  And I hate illegal (or legal “recreational”) drugs and all they lead to.  I see little reason to be open-minded on these issues anymore.  I have seen the evidence and it has led me to my beliefs. 

We don’t all stand for the same things.  But I stand for something – and standing for something is still more than ok.

Don't be a carrier of the negative contagion

Recently I was rallying my service team again to sell one of our products at their weekly meeting.  It was our new amazing air purifier.  One of the guys who was the top salesperson for this product, but happen to be in a slump said that “people are holding onto their money and with the economy the way it is…”

I told him it wasn’t about THE economy, it was about YOUR economy.  I told him to turn off the news, get excited and enthused and spread the good word.  His first appointment that day he sold an Aspen air purifier.

That same day a business owner called me for advice.  He needed a bigger building for his business.  He wondered if it was a good time because buildings were in high demand and hard to come by, and interest rates were high, and the economy is bad.  I said “Hold on.  You said buildings are in high demand AND the economy is bad?”  I told him to turn off the news, be the leader, and go get what his team needed to grow and prosper.

He did.

Are you letting yourself be implanted with negativity and thus infected, go around acting that way and spreading the affliction?

The art of not giving up.

Recently I was on a (video) podcast called Forward Obsessed. It is hosted by two guys who started a place called “The District” in New Haven CT.  It’s a business incubator space the built out in an old brick building the bought from the city for one dollar – and it’s cool!

It’s on YouTube.  Search “Forward Obsessed Larry Janesky”.

Why predict bad things?

This Think Daily message comes from a Think Daily comment made by Brad Glazer – 

“I’d rather be positive and wrong than negative and right!”

Thanks Brad!  Now let me explain why Brad’s statement is true.

We will never outperform our own expectations.  If they are low, we will only meet them, if not fall short.  

If they are high, we have a shot of hitting them.  If we fall short, we learn and keep believing and acting with belief, and we will make our positive vision come true.

Aim higher!

You are your beliefs

What you believe has a direct impact on your confidence, enthusiasm, likability, the quality of your relationships, and your success.

What beliefs do you have about the world, yourself, other people, and the future?
