@ Laurie: I think so. I think it’s good to have confidence. Confidence has a better aura than doubt.

Smart thinking. It’s reminds me of scenarios like “I can do this and overcome any challenge” vs. “Maybe I can do this. I hope there are no challenges.” I like your “I can do it” approach. It’s a winning set-up.

@ The Lawyer Mom: I believe our thoughts are the fuel for our actions. The higher the quality, the higher the quality of our actions.

@ Marelisa: Well put. That’s right.

I like your process Bamboo. Set your intent from the moment you sit at the keyboard.

You are absolutely right. Positive thoughts bring positive things. Am loving the quantum physics angle!

@ Jeb: Hmm… Yeah… What’s been here has been here to the best of my knowledge

Though, we are relaunching in this month. Our site will be new.

Thanks for the good words. Glad you enjoy your stay in the PI Universe.

@ Ryan: That’s the highest compliment I could receive, hearing that song in the background. Thanks.

I think… try a little at a time to push a little more than you have prior. So next time a setback occurs, tell yourself: Just this time I’m going to push on just a little more. Do that over and over again.

What you’ll begin to realize is that ultimately, you have what it takes to be relentless. You need only focus your mind and as Nike says: Just do it.

Do it when it hurts and when it doesn’t. The circumstances become irrelevant. Only your resolve is what counts. It’s what gets you into action. And your action is not dependent on a setback.

Setbacks don’t prevent us from success. They always come. It’s our level of resolve in the midst of setbacks that determines where we end up.

I’m still striving to master this myself. The important thing, though, is that I go in the right direction.

I think I can hear Queen in the background playing We Will Rock You.

My problem is that I start out thinking I’m the best but then I have a setback and I lose my consentration as well as my determination and hope. How does one combat a week mind?

BF -
Am I delusional or does my memory serve me well? The last time I was here…no, the last time I looked at anything other than the post I was reading…there was very little to find. Perhaps some ‘coming soon’ promises.

Now here I am, completely taken back. By the great post, sure. But more so by the stories you tell of your earliest of days, and of the others that are part of this PI space.

I am both confused and delighted. As with a dream, I know not whether it’s true or fiction, but it’s left me feeling just right.

Thanks for that.

@ Matt: Thanks for the good words.

You write, “If you believe you will fail, you are actually intending to fail.” That’s deep, bro. Love it.

Yeah, it really does. Makes me look way cool.

Definitely, try it.

So true. Great post it really is all about positive self talk and one’s real subconscious intent. If you believe you will fail, you are actually intending to fail. You have to get yourself into a mindset of success. Thanks for sharing the great perspective. I like the use of toothpicks to attain your state, it might make you look cool too. I gotta give that a try.
