#910 Whoosh...Blow right by them

So what are you going to do? Folding isn't an option, but the current options are so limited it can make you want to fold! Will you be your own undoing and create negative emotions? Will you bring yourself and others down?

“We are sustained, elevated, or crushed on our own. ”

Feelings don't happen to us; they happen in us, and we are their maker and their master. Can they be piqued by the never-ending diatribe of negative news or the constant vocal anxiety of a close relation? Sure they can, but you've got to post a guard at the entry to your mind. You've got to stop the Philistines at the gate and consciously adopt beliefs that empower you. You've got to keep in touch with great people because great people will always remind you of how great you are too.

There is a tremendous upside here. This Lockdown is our opportunity to read, to train, to learn, to practice, to plan, and to improve. When will you ever get uninterrupted time like this that you can use for massive gains in personal development? The current condition is our moment to plan and grow. Because when this ends, and rest assured that it will end, you will rollover competitors who pissed away this time complaining. Complaining attracts more complaints, creating large groups of people who can regurgitate the worst of the news to tell you how bad it all sucks. Then they'll look to one another, nodding sagely in unison so focused on being "realists" that they'll never see you blow past them. Whoosh...Own your sales gene
