"Believe In Yourself........"

Said Glenda, the Good Witch (The Wiz). Take control of your life, no one owns it but you. Of course trials and tribulations will arise, but it's all apart of that random game called life. Obstacles are there for you to overcome and have another achievement to write on your wall of success. If you never experience failure how do you know what success looks like. So do not fear failure, embrace it and learn from it. Change the way you think and speak. Hard times aren't just hard times. I have embraced the idea to look at each challenge as a character building opportunity. If you are going to have a new future than you must accept a new beginning.

BROADEN YOUR SCOPE
Okay, how many times in the last month did you give advice to someone on a particular subject? Yes this includes friends and family. Well you sound like a Consultant. For those of you with kids, ever had to plan a birthday party or some special event? Can you say, Event Planner! How about the "to die for" cookies you brought to the office holiday social last year and everyone is still buzzing about them? Move over Betty Crocker and turn up the oven. Are you the fashioneesta of the bunch that can spot a bargain from a mile away? Not many of us have the time to look good on a dime. That's why personal shoppers/stylists are in demand. Most of us have come up with an easier way to do something or orchestrated a quick fix solution. Here's an example, have you ever used doubled-sided tape to keep your bra straps in place---well, someone took it a step further and created a million dollar business called Hollywood Fashion Tape. Here is the last word. Choose something you enjoy or something you feel is missing and turn it into a business.

Dear tamela,
You are on to something big when you say that one should: "Change the way you think and speak." I do understand that the language that one uses can alter one's thought patterns. Thanks for sharing.--JH

One of my favorite quotes are " Success is a journey, not a destinaton". In relations to your subject. As long as we believe in ourselves, we can accomplish all we desire. There will be moments perhaps where we will stumble, but we rise, dust off and keep on. Sometimes as you stated we are afraid of failure, but don't be there's a world out there waiting on you, your ideas, your inventions!

Go ahead dab your feet in and get it wet. Take the plunge!
Etana!

Thanks Tamela, and as soon as more of mankind can be able to accept(or just give this a thought)"I am responsiable for my own actions" the wisdom you offered to all of us on this blog will be put into place by mankind it self-for the benefit of mankind it self. Then there will be WORLD PEACE on Earth....and, let us not leave out happiness-contenment,ect.
