Positive Or Negative Leverage? It's Your Choice


Us humans are funny things.

Most of us seem to have an inbuilt ability to leverage the negative...and ignore the positive.

We ALL do it...just some more than others!

I'll admit that I sometimes find it difficult to accept praise sometimes...and instead focus on what I could have done better.

But I'm learning!

You see...I've realized that, if I COULD have done any better - I WOULD.

After all...I'm hardly not going to TRY to do my very best at something, am I?

And...if you really care about what you do, YOU wouldn't either, would you?

So - don't beat yourself up about it!

It's so easy to get sucked into looking for negatives - even when, by most peoples' standards - you may have experienced one almighty positive!

The very fact that you focus on your 'failings' means that you are pointing your subconcious in that direction for the future.

And...as we BOTH know that "You become what you think about" - then, that's hardly a good thing to focus on, is it?

The key here is to CELEBRATE your victories...even the little ones!

In my book...if you end up missing a goal that you set for yourself...yet you end up so much further ahead than when you started - is THAT a bad thing?

Nope. Definitely not!

If you had asked me three years ago if I would have developed as a person to this degree by now...then I would have never believed you...and just laughed it off!

It's NEVER too late to CHANGE...but only if you ALLOW yourself the ocassional 'pat on the back' for actually DOING something!

THAT'S the way that you build a strong foundation for a successful LONG-TERM future!
