While doing some research this morning, I came across JOHN LEITH and his site
Better Marketing Toolbox. This entry related so well with THE SECRET and my thoughts
and feelings about how I try to live my life, and encourage others to do the same.


"Your subconscious mind feeds on thoughts of defeat or success.

In some ways it sets up a chain reaction. What you choose to think about or
dwell on will have an influence on your mind that will affect everything you do.

No matter what your goals are, you will only ever be as successful
as you allow yourself to be!

In fact it’s quite simple. If you give get frustrated and throw in the towel with
something, that frustration will have a negative impact on the rest of your actions.

Alternatively if you follow through with something, work hard and find an answer,
the impact of that victory will have a positive effect on the rest of your work. This
allows you to attempt other projects with more conviction, which will lead to even
more success.

Ultimately, confidence stems from satisfying yourself you can achieve.
So the more positive you can become... the more you can do

I often see people getting agitated over some issue or problem and most of the
time this emotion is influencing their attitude and their long-term success.

I'm not saying I'm always even tempered... there are times when I can get very
cheesed off. But you can't get too caught up emotionally in something that really
isn't that significant.

Sometimes we must struggle - other times it's not going to make any difference,
so why bother. Just turn around and do something else.

You control your attitude and because of that you can influence your effectiveness,
productivity and results online or offline in your business or personal life.

When you come right down to it, you choose how you think and what you think about.
Granted it may take some effort to teach yourself to think a certain way, but it's
worth it. That effort will transform your subconscious and make for a better YOU.

You can choose to be in command of your subconscious or turn it over to itself
and let it control you.

Think positive... not negative!

A lot of folks will joke when someone starts chanting about positive attitudes and such...
but I can guarantee you there is something to it. You will have much better relationships
and results in your life if you are positive instead of negative...

A book worth picking up and reading all about building a positive attitude is:

“Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude” by W. Stone

At the very least I suggest taking a peek. This approach to life has made mine
better and happier!

Several years ago I was at a stage in my life where I was walking down the road
of negativity and letting my subconscious mind control my actions... I’m happy to
say that is no longer the case and I'm now much more effective in every part of my life.

This doesn't mean I don't get some periods of negativity – I'm still human - but I have
focused my mind to be much more positive and consequently I have improved my life considerably.

Try it for a short time and then compare your findings. You'll be amazed at the difference."
