Quote: Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "We are what we think about all day long."
BROKERTIP: Joe Tye said, “Someone with a job is never secure; someone with a passion is never unemployed.” Are you passionate about your “job?” If you find yourself complaining about everything, you are not passionate about what you do. Complaining accomplishes nothing. Last evening while attending my grandson’s soccer game, the coach for one of the teams that was scheduled to play AFTER my grandson’s game started to complain that the game was “already one minute over the scheduled time to complete it and that they needed to get off the field now.” We are talking about 6 and 7 year olds. The coach was not only out of line, his language and body language was not something you want a 6 or 7 year old to see or hear. The point is that it was obvious he did not like doing what he was doing or being where he was at. Someone passionate about what they were doing would have simply taken the kids to a side area and have them start warming up instead of making a spectacle of himself. Do you analyze your words, attitude and body language? If so, what do you see and hear? Are you certain? What does an observer see and hear, chances are, they are not the same thing. Life is all about attitude and your attitude is a choice you make every day when you first wake up. You can choose to be positive and significant or you can choose to be negative and a jerk; it is really that simple! Do you know how many jerks there are in the world; we do not need another one just in case you-know-who reads this.
THE STRANGEST SECRET by John Boe. This is all about the one thing that you can do that when done could all but guarantee your success, or not. If you read nothing else for the rest of your life, read this very short article; it says it all! http://www.salesdog.com/newsletter/2010/nl0495.htm Gymbeaux Note: You really are what you think about most. You have a choice between positive self-talk and negative self-talk. When you realize just how important self-talk is, you will want to eliminate ALL negative self-talk. You will also want to eliminate all reference to metaphors like, “hanging around”; is that the mental image you want your subconscious mind to consider – hanging by a noose, I think not yet that is what we all do. You are not doing “fine”, you are GREAT and getting greater by the minute.

A LESSON FROM JEFFREY GITOMER THAT I DOUBT YOU CAN ARGUE WITH:
From page 22, The Little Gold Book of YES!Attitude ®:
WHERE DOES POSISTIVE ATTITUDE COME FROM?
Positive attitude cdomes from within.
Positive attitude has nothing to do with what happens to you.
It’s what you do with, and how you react to, what happens to you
Positive attitude comes from your ability to process thoughts in a positive way, regardless of the circumstance. And it’s never 100%. That’s why, in spite of your determination to be positive at every moment, you’ll have highs and lows based on your thought process and your vulnerability to others.
HERE’S THE GOOD NEWS: The more you work on your attitude, the less vulnerable you become to the negative aspect of it.
The most interesting aspect of attitude is that “instant’ only applies to the negative part. Someone can make you angry (negative) in a second, but it can take years to achieve the positive. Positive attitude comes from your own thought process combined with your determination to stay in the right frame of mind. It ain’t easy to get there, but it’s worth it once you do.
In my opinion The Little Gold Book of YES!Attitude by Jeffrey Gitomer should be a must read for everyone regardless of age or business; it is that good. Answer this one question: When was the last time
