The Philosophers Zone

Keeping with the theme of trying to maintain a positive image for onesself, I have embarked on reading up on some positive affirmations others have been practicing. It may sound silly and feel a little ridiculous at first to talk to yourself in the mirror, but it does help. No one else can see you. It is all in your head. Once you get that thought out, just concentrate on truly believing in the words you speak to yourself and be consistent. Pretty soon your brain will automatically switch over to thinking along a positive track and will not be able to hold the negative any longer. We all know positive and negative energies cannot coincide together, so why try to hold onto the negative when so much more can be gained with the positive?
Here is another article to help you maintain your positive outlook and keep to helping you live the life you know you were always meant to live.

5 Quick and Easy Ways To Wiping Out Obstacles To Goal Achievement
Copyright 2005 The IWE, LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Life is nothing but an obstacle course, its all about
getting through that obstacle course *successfully* to your
desired goal that most people seem to have a problem with.

And it's only normal to encounter these obstacles in the
pursuit of your goal.

It's kind of a test to see if your worthy.

However, when these obstacles start to become a nuisance to
the point of almost putting a stop to your goal(s); or
worse, making one completely abandon his/her goal, one must
take action and think things through.

So, with that said, here are some helpful, tested pointers
that will keep your attention focused in achieving any goal
that you put your mind to.

Step #1. Think positive.

This means: Do not quit. Especially when one is midway in
working for a goal, there should be no room for quitting.

To quit is tantamount to going back to the starting line of
goal accomplishment. That is time, energy, money, and a
whole lot of things wasted and lost. It is more costly to
quit than to find a solution to the problem, not to mention
the frustration one feels.

Step #2. Keep a clear, open and tense-free mind.

Always be ready to receive new ideas. Focus and
concentrate. Think on a wide scale manner and always be
open for options(even unconventional ones) to eliminate the
particular obstacle you are currently dealing with.

Step #3. Persist and Persevere.

Be sure to exhaust every possibility, even to the point of
trial and error, just to be sure that there is a solution
to correct the problem your dealing with.

Step #4. Simulate.

Try to picture inside your head a possible solution to help
overcome and/or solve the obstacle that's setting you back.

Step #5. Get assistance.

If all fails get assistance from other you know who are
more knowledgeable on the work being done. They may be able
to help you or not. Their suggestions might not necessarily
be the right or exact ones you were hoping to hear, but
they may trigger some NEW ideas in finding the right
solution to your problem.

Those are the basic 5 steps to overcoming any obstacle
that's holding you back.

But... before I go I'd like you to consider this scenario
as an example.

Let's say you thought of a COOL new product and you are
confident and excited that this product will be sellable to
your target market once it hits the market.

You then go tell a friend about it, but your friend says
that your product would be waste of time and money.

Your friend also tells you why it will be such a flop and
gives your their reason why as follows:

"If your product idea is to be a success, how come nobody
else is doing it?"

Does this sound familiar?

With that being said you decide that your friend is right
and forget about your new product idea because of your
friend's comment.

This exact scenario happens all the time all over the world.

Don't fall victim to this.

You are your own person with your own opinions and beliefs.

Though it is good to hear other peoples opinions and their
reasons, what really matters the most is yours in the end
based on the information you have received and researched.

So the lesson here is, be firm in your beliefs and follow
your heart and minds desire.

You just never know what the outcome might be.
