A DIFFERENT ROUTE?

How do you see yourself?

However you answer this question, you are RIGHT!

Unbelief is always the problem when good folks like yourselves do not achieve what you ultimately want. Do you trust the vision for your life which is just crying out in the back of your mind to bring into a realistic view?

Are there failures in life? Are you a failure or is what you've DONE considered a failed effort?

There are failures ... I am not a failure ... and I HAVE put forth effort which failed.

Fear and Doubt is the enemy. KNOW your enemy! Learn as much as you can about it, love it, embrace it and most importantly ... CONTROL it. You will NEVER master it completely. If you have any data that proves me wrong here, PLEASE share it with me in a private email and I will make it the subject of a future article.

Back to *The World According To Ed* now.

Capture a glimpse of your future, document it in words and/or pictures.

To the EXACT degree you remove fear and doubt in your life, this is precisely the level of success/achievement/ accomplishment your life will hand you back (Brian Tracy paraphrase).
*From the moment you set your sights on a goal and start to take action, you begin to reap its rewards. The actual attainment is only the final reward -- there are many more along the way.*-- 1997 Ralph S. Marston, Jr.

I believe that Love replaces Fear and Doubt. Replace the negative with what you Love to do and Love the Reasons for Doing them.

If you are looking or searching for something you don't have now, this is NOT a good starting point. Better ... is to begin with What/Who you are in the present (NOW). Famous words from Wealthy people regarding Time ... *NOW AND ITS GONE.* Ensure you are solid in sustaining current blessings and help BUILD for others ... Surely you have more than most NOW (YOU list the good things and Focus on working to Remove the Bad.)

You HAVE a computer to touch the lives of millions (just like me.)

It's probably a Good Time to start thinking about A Different Route than the one you are on now.

Let me leave you with a last upbeat thought ... and then get to work building your dream!

The Privilege Of A Lifetime Is Being WHO YOU ARE. nnn
