Henry Ford, after he had achieved great success, was the subject of much public criticism. Many people thought that he was very lucky, some thought he was a genius, some thought he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, some thought that powerful friends and influential people were the "secret" of his great success. Why some people even thought he was so mean, that once he found out there would not be any chocolate in heaven, he would decide not to go.
It's probably true some of these things were involved. Except the last one. But, there was something more about Henry Ford that only very few close friends and family knew. And, those few people didn't speak much about it because it was so embarrassing.
You want to know what it is? I thought you did. Read on. Henry Ford had a dream to build a gasoline engine with 8 cylinders in one block. His engineers told him it was impossible. He told them, build it anyway. They said, no way. He said, find a way.
After a full year the engineers still had not developed the V-8 engine. Ford told them, I want it, and I'll have it.....Build it. Think about that.. A year. Some of us feel we just swam the English Channel if we spend fifteen minutes learning how to build a website. And then we walk around letting everyone know not to treat us any differently than they would the king. Yeah, right, you're hind........ous!
Well, everyone knows what happened. The engine was built and became a very successful motor for Henry Ford. He had a goal and determination. Nothing was going to stop him; not even twelve months of all his engineers telling him it couldn't be done.
Simple?............Yes!
If you use it? If you have a simple goal and plan to get there you will achieve it. Some people have a goal and plan for awhile and when they encounter a setback, they lose faith in it.. They start out right, but some "bad" break comes and they start acting like they're a travel agent for guilt trips.
Don't let your attitude turn you into a has-been. If you allow set-backs to dampen your spirit it can cause you to put forth only half-hearted and very weak efforts in future endeavors. You just won't have that fire to try with a can-do attitude.
Learn or Burn!!
Some people just seem to have this Henry Ford type of mind-set all the time. Other people start off with a burst and then fizzle. The vast majority of people have never really learned what this kind of mind-set can do for them. Can it be learned? You bet!! It can be learned just like any other skill.
OH.........It hurts so good!!
But, here's the catch. You knew there would be one, didn't you? It takes EFFORT!! Take a long hard look at your life right now. No, maybe you better not. Just..... kidding. :>) What have you ever accomplished without effort?
What have you ever done worthwhile without rubbing elbow grease all over it till it looked like tar baby and ber rabbit chasing sambo through a briar patch?
Don't be surprised at this, but, many people think that this kind of mind-set should just fall down and splat all over them while they go tippy-toeing through the tulips all day long like some ding-a-ling.
Power is Addictive!!
If you know how to make this mind-set work for you, congratulations? You're the minority.
Perhaps you have developed and strengthened your desire until life is bringing you everything you wish? Perhaps you haven't? Perhaps you would like to learn the techniques necessary to release that power inside of you so that it will work its magic in your life?
You Can Change Your World!
I used to be a has-been. Ten years ago life was a struggle for me. Then the ever ending road to finding the success system that never fails began for me. Without a doubt, I get 90 percent of everything in life I attempt. It used to be just the opposite.
The techniques I used to develop this kind of power, in my life, I teach every week in my newsletter. The principles for achieving success are universal. They can be learned and taught. All the principles have their foundation in the proper mind-set. Without this........, well, you had just better have been born very lucky. You're gonna need it.
Teaching all the principles of success is obviously beyond the scope of one article. As you follow these weekly morsels and make them a part of your life you will experience success in its most powerful form. And the payoff will be success, health, happiness, wealth, or whatever definite goals you have in life. These will be yours provided you don't violate the universal laws that make them work.
Beholding Heaven..............and Feeling He**!
Such violations can be very detrimental to your success. Violating these principles are like going to a strip club. You get all charged up, spend a whole lot of money and, go home with that curious dry feeling between your legs. NOTHING!!
So, keep your mind on the things you want and OFF the things you don't want. And never underestimate the power of a negative attitude. It can prevent life's most wonderful blessings from coming to you.

You At A Dead End? Look Deeply Into My Eyes!
The president of a large North Eastern company, doing business internationally, was visiting his California division. While he was there, he saw a very large photograph of, of all people, himself, hanging on the wall.
He was in the office of his Vice President's private secretary. He said to her, Linda, that's a very large picture you have of my mug for this size room isn't it?
Linda said you know what I do when I have a problem? He said yea, you throw darts at it. Don't you? She smiled and said no, here's what I do. Then she demonstrated by propping her elbows on her desk, placing her chin in her cupped hands, and looking up at that picture said, Boss, what the heck would you do to solve this?
What Kinds of Images do you visualize?
Linda used a very powerful motivator to help solve her problems. She identified with a successful image. This sort of visualization can break the cycle of self-defeat and bad habits those years of struggles have set up with-in a personality.
Linda went on to testify, I find it extremely helpful to identify with a successful and positive image that inspires me to make the right decisions. She said, sometimes it's a slogan, a picture, or any symbol that has deep meaning to me.
What do your images say to you?
Some people may find what Linda does humorous. But, the results of her actions are startling. Do you have a picture or symbol in your home or office that could give you the right answer for an important decision?
It might be a picture of a father, mother, husband, wife, Benjamin Franklin, maybe Benedict Arnold, nah....I'm kidding about that. I sure hope you don't visualize Benedict Arnold. :>) Why it could be a picture of a long deceased grand parent. Just anything that has deep meaning to you.
Caveat!!!
Make sure it conjures up deep POSITIVE emotions on the inside of you. This is nothing to play around with. If the image gives you that warm fuzzy feeling inside then you're on the right track. If it makes you start looking for places to hide more bodies, then all bets is off.
When it's Time to Speak.......Shut Up!!
What will your image say to you? Will you Listen? There is only one way to find out. The next time you are faced with a serious problem or have to make a major decision, ask your image a question. Then LISTEN...duh...ding-a-ling.
What you hear could be the most important advice you could get. When that deep stirring in your gut says, this is the way, do this, do that, then you have found the breakthrough you're looking for. Be patient, get quiet and listen. If you're not hearing anything, I can almost guarantee you you're not quiet. There is still too much turmoil on the inside of you.
Another point you need to recognize is your situation is going to change whether you take the initiative to change it positively or not. But, using the concept of talking to your motivational images and listening, you have the power to determine its direction. Ah..... I like that. You bet.
I can hear someone saying now, poo poo I'm not going to talk to some silly picture. I'm not a nut. Ah.......you talk to things all the time. Sure you do. Don't believe it? Stop yourself next time you find yourself saying to your computer, why aren't you working right you sorry piece of junk?
Talking to a computer, how crazy can you get? But, yeah, we talk to things all the time, but mostly in the negative vein. So, let's start talking to things that will help to shape our future in the direction we want and not pay any attention to the nay-sayers that would make you feel silly.
So, What do you really want?
Do you want to go around the world in 80 days? You want to play in a James Bond movie? No, well how about lassie? Nah I'm kidding. No matter what your dream is, you will find that it will materialize through visualization and imagery much easier.
Rolling Snowballs uphill?
Yep, that is what it is like to try and materialize your goals and ambitions through happenstance or some kind of hokey-pokey. You have heard the slogan, "whatever the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve." Well, it's really not your mind; it's your body that does the work. But, your mind can make your body's work much easier.
In fact, if you don't learn to use your mind and emotions you will put excessive and undue stress on every muscle in your body. Stress will cause all kinds of illness. Like ulcers and tape worms. :>)
This is a strong statement, but, I have found out from many years of business, that things just go much easier when my mind and emotions are congruent with my activities. When your mind and emotions get out of sync with the forces of the Universe that bring health, prosperity, and success, your life will be miserable.
Ok, here is your homework. I'm going to tell you a technique that is very powerful and effective. Find your image that you feel deeply about and creates powerful emotions inside you.
Then, find a quiet place sit down get comfortable, close your eyes and see that image floating inside of your mind. If you don't have an image, use powerful words like; success, prosperity, health, healing, so-on, and see those words floating into your mind and let them surge all the way through your body. Feel it going through your body. Keep doing it till you feel electricity like sensations surging through you. You will. Guaranteed.
Don't underestimate this. Some of the simplest things in life are the most effective.

Words, Ignorance, And Casper The Friendly Ghost!
Do your best to accept this or do your best to fight it: but, "You are a mind with a body". Because you are, you have spiritual powers. And, the Spirit man (person) inside you contains powers known and unknown. Discover what they are!
Ignorance, who me?
Anything that seems logical to a person, who is ignorant of the facts, may seem stupid to the person who knows how to do it and does know the facts. If you make decisions because you refuse to learn the truth, that is called ignorance. But, none of us would ever do that, would we?
You just might be surprised how many grow fat on ignorance. And the biggest cause of ignorance is.....you guess? Ok, it is Inertia. A person may not know the facts but he should understand that truth is truth and never false regardless of his lack of knowledge.
An open minded person will continue to learn and not succumb to immobility. He will base his conclusions on the knowledge that he has. But, always ready to change them as he becomes more enlightened.
It's time to explore the powers of your mind.
These powers can help you to achieve success, wealth, happiness, love and all you desire. Learn to use these powers. Don't be afraid of them. And, it is not at all difficult. No more difficult than turning on your computer for the first time.
Consider this. When you turn on your computer, you may not understand all the intricacies that make it do what it does. You don't have to. You just need to know how to flip the switch.
The same thing goes for the most intricate machine that has ever been conceived. Although this machine is the Divine work of God, you can learn to use it very easily.
The Wild Wild Brain!
This machine is; your brain. Your brain is made up of two parts, your conscious and sub-conscious and they work together. We know a lot about the conscious, but the sub-conscious is still a vast unknown territory.
One of the greatest powers of the sub-conscious is its ability to use the power of auto-suggestion. You can become rich by learning the power of and employing auto-suggestion.
Conscious suggestion is the mechanism of feeding the sub-conscious mind thoughts of a creative nature. I.e. Positive affirmations that make their way into the deep fertile ground of the sub-conscious. Or, through neglect and inertia permit thoughts that are destructive to the desires of your heart.
When you read out loud a written statement of your desire for whatever you want, everyday, several times everyday, and do it with emotion and concentration on your desire, and, see and feel yourself already in possession of what you want, then you are communicating (self-suggesting)your desire directly to your sub-conscious.
What? Brain Food!
When you do this through repetition you create a thought pattern that will voluntarily feed your sub-conscious the food it wants to eat. Foods that will help your sub-conscious translate your desire into reality. And, I'm not talking about thanksgiving turkey.
The Food that the sub-conscious feeds on is: WORDS! Words are the only food that the sub-conscious is capable of digesting. You say "yes", it knows what that means and doesn't care what the results become. You say "no", it knows what that means and doesn't care what the results become.
It is VERY important to note; the sub-conscious does not pay attention to wishy-washy-wimpy-words. Your sub-conscious is the hardest mechanism there is to slap a snow-job on. And, it won't pay any attention to wussy statements that you make while going tip-toeing through the tulips talking like Casper the friendly ghost.
Your effectiveness in learning and using auto-suggestion will depend largely on your determination to concentrate on your desire with emotion and strong feelings.
Well, how do I get there?
The most direct route to the sub-conscious is through your emotions. The most effective route to your emotions is to visualize what you desire.
The visualizing will help the emotions to feel the reality and truth of what you're are self-suggesting. Without conscious or unconscious auto-suggestion, then you are ignoring (again) the great powers of your mind and cheating yourself from life's most wonderful blessings.
Someone said to me, "I can't go around saying I have something I don't have." Why not? You do all the time. Every time you sneeze, you say, I coming down with a cold. And, then you get one. Every time something goes wrong at work, you say, that's just my rotten luck. And, then the bottom falls out.
You ever heard this? "Next time we buy those tickets to go on a vacation, I guarantee you those kids will get sick and we'll lose the money for those plane tickets". And, then it happened and you said, "See there I told you so". And, you go around patting yourself on the back so everyone could see how smart you are just like you prophesied it. Duh, need I say again?
You mean I have to lie?
Remember, the sub-conscious does not know the difference between truth and lie. It just uses it's unknown and unexplainable powers to bring to pass the "words" that come out of your mouth. That's what it was made to do. That's all it knows how to do.
Start saying this out loud everyday; multiple times everyday; "Day by Day, in every way, I'm getting Prettier and Prettier!" or, richer and richer; or, whatever. Now I hope I don't have to tell you this, but, don't go around saying I'm getting Dummer and Dummer. (again) don't laugh, some people do. I like to say I'm getting prettier and prettier. Lol he he! Yeah, that's right.
After you've said that several hundred times, you will begin waking up saying it. You'll be walking down the street and it will just pop in your mind. That is auto-suggestion. When it comes up from somewhere down inside you, and you didn't even have to think it up, then you are learning the powers of your mind.
An Example: True Story!
It was 3 am in the intensive care room of a local hospital. Two nurses were keeping close watch over their patient whom had had a massive heart attack. The nurses noticed his vital signs had stopped. They were frantic and one said to the other, "Do you have a pulse"? She said no.
The patient, being a student of auto-suggestion and the powers of his mind, heard everything they were saying but he couldn't communicate with them and tell them he was ok.
He then remembered an affirmation he was taught. "You can do anything, if you believe you can". He forced his eyelids open and the nurses then knew he was ok.
He recovered and here is the interesting part. He later testified he felt it was so amusing at how frantic the nurses were. You see, his mind could not be influenced by their fearful suggestions. He had trained his brain to only be influenced by what he fed it. Go Thou and do likewise!

When You Don't Get What You Expect; Inspect What You Got!
What do you do when everything goes wrong? What do you do when there is no place to turn? What do you do when today is just not your day and tomorrow isn't looking too good either? What do you do when you tell everyone what you need and all they tell you is how to get along without it?
A Force To Be Reckoned With!
Did you know there is a definite way to link up with the best things life has to offer? Did you know that there are blessings ready to crawl all over you right now? Blessings are everywhere you turn. I can just hear someone right now; "Vegas, you're just a few grapes short of a fruit salad."
Consider this: does it seem strange that no one thinks it is abnormal to believe that bad things might happen to them? Consider this: If I say something like, "that's just my dumb luck" and you hear me say it, would you think it is strange? No! In general, most people would not.
Those words don't sound foreign to our hearing. We hear them all our lives. We don't even give it a second thought when we hear someone say something that would be detrimental to their well being. We just accept it as a part of life.
Consider this: If I say, "Everything in my life always goes perfect!" And, you hear me say it; would that sound strange to you? Sure it would. There seems to be something inside of us that resists saying something good about ourselves.
Believe In Yourself!
It may be the fear that we will jinx ourselves if we say it, or that we don't want to sound like we are boasting or bragging. So, if you heard me say that, would you think I'm lying? Well, let me for the record right here and now say; "Everything in my life always goes perfect!"
How you say? It is easy when you consider that it's not a matter of circumstances. The problem is; it's not easy to not consider the circumstances! The circumstances are there; they're like bugs crawling all over us.
Everywhere we turn we feel like we have to figure out an answer to this and that. And, if we don't, we get as nervous as a pregnant possum; which just ads to the feeling that we are going to end up like death warmed over.
A Bird's Eye View!
Even though the circumstances are striking fear inside of us; the real issue is not what is happening at the moment. The circumstances can be bad, if we use the traditional definition of bad circumstances. Yes, things can be bad. But, life is more than circumstances!
Life is about living. And, you're not living when you're being pushed around by bad circumstances. Consider this: When you are living under your circumstances, you are being pushed around by something that can't touch you.
The circumstances can't break your leg or eat you. All they can really do is to give you a good case of foot in mouth disease. And, all too frequently, that's exactly what happens.
The Burning Question!
Think about something! There can be the biggest storm you have ever faced swirling all around you at any given moment. But, the circumstances i.e.: the storm, are not what is going to beat you. Do you know what the only thing that can beat you is? You ready? Losing the fire of desire!
What is the fire of desire? The fire of desire is the mechanism inside of you that says; "Everything in my life always goes perfect." You know; that rusty mechanism inside you that you haven't oiled in six months. I'm teasing, don't you get mad at me.
Oh! That again. Yeah, and you know something; your Spirit man is just waiting for you to say something like that so he can bring those words to pass.
You say; how can you be so sure? Because circumstances can always change. But, you will find it excruciatingly painful to see good things happen by happenstance. I do not want to live by happenstance.
A Real Can Of Worms!
Unless you use the power of words, and not just any words, you will not be feeding any fuel to the fire of desire. Using words like; "that's just my dumb luck," etc. also feeds fuel to the mechanism, but, that fuel is sour.
And, sour fuel will bring about sour circumstances. Now listen; it really does not matter whether you believe this works or not right now. You can school yourself into believing it and then it will become more powerful.
Just start saying this out loud every day; "No matter what happens to me, I win!" I guarantee you if you will do that for thirty days, you will believe it, because it will have changed a lot of negative circumstances into positive circumstances.
Even though it may sound crazy, negative circumstances are affected by positive words coming out of your mouth. Negative circumstances are also made worse by negative words coming out of your mouth.
Cool Your Jets!
Someone said to me one time; oh! You're one of those blab it and grab it guys! Hey, I didn't design the system, I'm not the one that makes it work the way it does. It may not make a bit of sense, but I don't care. I got better things to do than to rub where there's already a rash.
And something else, if the fire of desire is diminished before the circumstances change, you won't be able to recognize the opportunity when it comes.
If your fire is burning low and you're not sure how to rekindle it, let me give you a few hints. The fire needs fuel. What is the fuel? The fuel is somehow generated by your sub-conscious as you feed on the right kinds of words.
The words that you say, the words that you read will supply your sub-conscious the fuel it needs to keep the fire of desire burning.
Faster Than A Speeding Bullet!
The words that you say and the words that you read will also choke off the fuel that the sub-conscious needs to keep the fire burning.
Be very careful what you say. It may seem like an insignificant thing, but the sub-conscious doesn't care. It will soak up words like a sponge and hold them in memory for later use; to either benefit you or hurt you.
I Don't Suffer From Stress, I'm A Carrier!
So, inspect carefully what you got, and, if you find yourself stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea; it is time to let the fire of desire burn a trail through you a mile wide and a yard deep. Don't let circumstances make a Zombie out of you.

A Force To Be Reckoned With!
Did you know there is a definite way to link up with the best things life has to offer? Did you know that there are blessings ready to crawl all over you right now? Blessings are everywhere you turn. I can just hear someone right now; "Vegas, you're just a few grapes short of a fruit salad."
Consider this: does it seem strange that no one thinks it is abnormal to believe that bad things might happen to them? Consider this: If I say something like, "that's just my dumb luck" and you hear me say it, would you think it is strange? No! In general, most people would not.
Those words don't sound foreign to our hearing. We hear them all our lives. We don't even give it a second thought when we hear someone say something that would be detrimental to their well being. We just accept it as a part of life.
Consider this: If I say, "Everything in my life always goes perfect!" And, you hear me say it; would that sound strange to you? Sure it would. There seems to be something inside of us that resists saying something good about ourselves.
Believe In Yourself!
It may be the fear that we will jinx ourselves if we say it, or that we don't want to sound like we are boasting or bragging. So, if you heard me say that, would you think I'm lying? Well, let me for the record right here and now say; "Everything in my life always goes perfect!"
How you say? It is easy when you consider that it's not a matter of circumstances. The problem is; it's not easy to not consider the circumstances! The circumstances are there; they're like bugs crawling all over us.
Everywhere we turn we feel like we have to figure out an answer to this and that. And, if we don't, we get as nervous as a pregnant possum; which just ads to the feeling that we are going to end up like death warmed over.
A Bird's Eye View!
Even though the circumstances are striking fear inside of us; the real issue is not what is happening at the moment. The circumstances can be bad, if we use the traditional definition of bad circumstances. Yes, things can be bad. But, life is more than circumstances!
Life is about living. And, you're not living when you're being pushed around by bad circumstances. Consider this: When you are living under your circumstances, you are being pushed around by something that can't touch you.
The circumstances can't break your leg or eat you. All they can really do is to give you a good case of foot in mouth disease. And, all too frequently, that's exactly what happens.
The Burning Question!
Think about something! There can be the biggest storm you have ever faced swirling all around you at any given moment. But, the circumstances i.e.: the storm, are not what is going to beat you. Do you know what the only thing that can beat you is? You ready? Losing the fire of desire!

When Things Go Wrong As They Sometimes Will.....Don't Get Your Knickers In A Twist!
In frustration it's easy to jump to false conclusions that life is out to get you. Wrong assumptions will invariably lead you to wrong conclusions. And, it is ridiculous to think that our limited experiences are reflective of life in general. When the struggles begin, it's time for a reality check.
Time To Clear The Decks!
There is probably nothing more frustrating than to assume we know how to fix a problem and then end up looking as dumb as a bag of hammers. Here's what I think. In situations like these the universe is looking for a good laugh, and it has chosen so wisely to use me as its guinne pig.
Ouch! That hurt. Well, only if you get your panties in a wad. You say, well, why would the universe jerk my chain like that? It's really not trying to make us fail; it's just testing us. I think that life is rooting for us! I think life is saying; you can do it! I think life is a wonderful ally.
In writing this article I've had some time to think; what would life really be like if we had no struggles? If everything just dropped in our lap and it looked like Demi Moore, for us guys, and Brad Pitt for you ladies. :>)
Dollars To Doughnuts!
After a while of that, I'll bet we would become so bored that life would no longer have any real meaning. We might do crazy things like eating two dozen doughnuts every day because all we would have to do is wish to be slim again and it would fall on us.
We might attempt to do everything that we could imagine, because with no struggle, it would all be a snap. And, after a while of that, the curse of cheap living would drive us insane.
Now, here is an interesting point! If everything in life was just like that, it would be just the opposite of the way it is now, and, you know what that would bring us? The same thing that we struggle with right now...self pity.
Down In The Dumps!
When we face terrible circumstances the pain or trouble tempts us to feel sorry for ourselves. When you start to feel sorry for yourself you are in danger of becoming self righteous. You begin to say, look what happened to me; how unfair; I must have a face that only a mother could love!
If everything in life just dropped in our lap, after awhile we would become so bored with no challenge or struggle, we would begin to feel woe-is-me! A life of boredom would definitely have to be worse than a life of struggle. Either way, the same type feelings would become everyday occurrences.
Time For An About Face!
If we will recognize that the struggles are coming for our development and refinement, then when life dumps a can of worms on our freshly made masterpiece we can ask; what can I learn from this? How can I grow? Not, who did this to me and how can I get out of it and punch their lights out?
One big issue we have with calamity is not the trouble itself, but, why am I suffering? Many people will, at the point of deep despair, ask the question; why me God? That question will probably never be satisfactorily answered in this life but, one thing I believe is; it's just sometimes better to know God than to know answers.
If I knew the answer, I would argue. If I knew all the reasons there is not one I couldn't find an argument for. Think about it; would you allow any reason to go unanswered when your livelihood or pride and joy project was being threatened? When your baby's life was being threatened?
The $64,000 Question!
Why is this happening? That has always been the hardest part for us to deal with. And, then as we ask the question and search for an answer, all it does is get our knickers in a twist because we can't find the answer. Now obviously, if we can pin-point an answer and fix the problem, then fine.
But, those kinds of problems are not really problems, they're just annoyances. But, we are usually most grateful when a problem is solved quickly and effortlessly. It's always nice to get a fresh positive attitude just handed to us without having to work for it.
Your past struggles are an important part of your today's actions and your tomorrow's plans. No one ever wins a hundred percent of the time. No one ever loses a hundred percent of the time. But, the tendency is to reflect on the failures and forget the successes.
Feeling All Cooped Up!
By reflecting on the failures of the past, we tend to assume failure for the present and future; which just keeps our knickers in a twist, and, while on that keyboard of life we got one finger on the escape key just in case we need it.
The failures of the past, and their outcome, have about as much use for our present and future as a yard full of pump water. About all they can accomplish is to keep us focused on the bad of the past, to make us relive the emotions and keep them in the forefront of our minds.
Do you know what that's likened to? That's like messing around in the affairs of dragons, because we are crunchy, and taste good with ketchup. Don't meddle with dragons, just don't do it!
Howbeit, the past will affect our actions and decisions today and then will affect our future. Then we have another opportunity to get our panties in a wad. :>) We do need to learn lessons of the past and avoid repeating those errors. The successes of our past will be measured against how we handle them now to prepare for the future.

What To Do When You're Short On Time And Long On Need!
Everyday life can present us with opportunities to make us squirm. Countless numbers of tasks that we are juggling can cause dead lines to make that big swishing sound as they go flying by us. So, the next time you find yourself short on time and long on need, don't take a long walk off a short pier. Try this instead.
That's The Way The Ball Bounces!
Have you ever wondered why? Words! Yep, that's it, those tiny little stinking no good for nothing, words that you don't even remember saying; Maybe two months ago, maybe a year ago, maybe last week.
You might not want to hear this; but, words have a creative force inside them. They create whatever meaning they contain. They are like a seed planted in the ground. They will bring forth whatever they are.
You plant an apple seed you gonna get apples. And I don't care how much you wish it was bananas; it ain't gonna happen. Now, we all know this is true and no one with half a brain will argue with it.
A Backhanded Compliment!
But, isn't it amazing how we go around saying junk like; "that's just my dumb luck", "I think I'm taking a cold", "they're not ever going to give me that raise", etc. And then we are shocked beyond belief when life slaps us upside the head with a dead fish. We say, "Wha'd I do?
Ah...don't even try to figure it out. It's long gone now and the words have already done their damage. You see, most of the time, we don't pay any attention to the words themselves and their repercussions.
But, try this on for size; you are actually creating your entire world with the words you speak. Proverbs tells us that, "life and death are in the power of the tongue". So, don't get mad at me, I didn't say it, Proverbs is a lot older than I am. :>)
Bone Of Contention!
Another way you could say it is; success and failure are in the words we speak; poverty and prosperity are in the words we speak; health and sickness are in the words we speak. That's not always a comforting thought, to think that we might have some responsibility for some of the junk we've produced.
Right now, ask yourself this question! "How do I feel emotionally at this moment"? Do you feel up? Do you feel down? Do you know why? The words you speak on a daily basis are the ignition switch directly to your emotions.
Your words are like a generator; your emotions are like a receiver. Every time you turn your generator on, you send signals to your receiver that will respond in kind. Send positive words, you'll get a positive emotional response, send negative destructive words, you'll get a negative response.
Just By Word Of Mouth!
You can make yourself sick with words; you can make yourself well with words. You can make yourself afraid of your own shadow with words. You can even kick a gift horse right in the mouth with your own words; I know I've done it.
If you need to make some drastic changes in your life, start paying attention to the words of your mouth. Many times in a difficult and challenging situation, your head will tell you; you're sunk, it can't be done, your goose is cooked, and all sorts of garbage.
The only reason your head says that is because you've said something sometime damaging with your mouth. Your head would not have known to say that to you if your mouth had not taught it to your head.
By retraining your mouth, you by default, retrain your head. Then your heart will begin to send up the words that you retrained it with. Your heart will say things like, "I'm more than a conqueror!" And, "no matter what happens, I win!"
Time For An About Face!
"Vegas, are you telling me that I can make things start going right in my life by getting rid of my foot-n-mouth disease?" Absolutely! In fact, it's the surest way when you find yourself short on time and long on need.
You see, when your emotions receive words that heal and uplift, then you will feel energized and empowered. You will feel a stirring down in your belly that you'll want to keep. And, the way you keep it is by putting a watch over your mouth.
Anyone who has never experienced what I'm talking about is truly living on the short end of the stick. You really have to experience the feelings that take place in your emotions to fully understand what this can do and what it's all about.
Down On Your Luck?
I don't care how beat down someone is or how bad their circumstances may be. By retraining your mouth you can experience emotions that you never thought you had, beginning in only three days.
But, don't be one who makes excuses rather than taking control over your mouth. I will tell you this; it's not easy to retrain your mouth. Not because it's hard in and of itself. What makes it so hard is; people have a hard time believing that their mouth could cause them so much trouble.
So, they look for other solutions that seem to be more believable. Solutions that are hard and complicated. Like getting "even" when someone has wronged them.
Better To Forgive And Forget!
Well guess what? During the time they're planning their vengeance; their mouth is talking about what they'll do. And, all that garbage is being funneled down into their emotions to cause future problems.
And, even if they're not verbalizing audibly what they'll do, they're meditating on it which is creating bad vibrations that are being sent to the emotions. And, the emotions can't resist it because our emotions are just a receptacle.
Another thing you can do is; stop trying to know that every thing in your life is as it should be. Relax your mind, your emotions, and your body. It's when we're thinking of only our self that we face our greatest struggles.
Serious As A Heart Attack!
That's when we see nothing but grief darkness and failure. No one, not even God can change you or your circumstances as long as you insist upon looking at and thinking of and worrying about yourself and your problems.
Your problems may be severe, but your mind will make them much worse than what they really are. And, then your emotions will make you feel like life is just a series of disappointments followed by death.
There is a part of human nature that seems to thrive on making us focus on "us". Especially when we are focusing on the troubles and challenges we are facing. In fact, there is probably nothing our human nature would rather think about than "us".
So Hungry I could eat a....
So, on the lighter side, let me leave you with this; if you feel that things are really bad right now; then try eating one live toad first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day. I promise. :>)

That's when we see nothing but grief darkness and failure. No one, not even God can change you or your circumstances as long as you insist upon looking at and thinking of and worrying about yourself and your problems.
Your problems may be severe, but your mind will make them much worse than what they really are. And, then your emotions will make you feel like life is just a series of disappointments followed by death.
There is a part of human nature that seems to thrive on making us focus on "us". Especially when we are focusing on the troubles and challenges we are facing. In fact, there is probably nothing our human nature would rather think about than "us".
So Hungry I could eat a....
So, on the lighter side, let me leave you with this; if you feel that things are really bad right now; then try eating one live toad first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day. I promise. :>)

Waiting On Your Big Break Is Playing Desperation Life!
Have you ever put all your eggs in one basket? Have you ever had so much riding on one big break that if it didn't happen you would have to move down to the zoo and live off of kudzu and stump water? If you have, you're playing desperation life!
Desperation Life= Trouble Before You Start!
If you're playing desperation life, then you didn't do something right early on. Being forced to go for the big break could almost be a good definition of failure. You're hoping for a last ditch effort to pull your dream out of the muck.
Sometimes a last ditch effort is all you need; most of the time, you're playing Russian roulette. If the big break is your conscious plan then your strategy is sucking wind already.
The steady as she goes planning will increase your odds of success tremendously. You'll find that your planning and strategy will fit the game plan very nicely as there will not be nearly as much pressure on you.
Success Begets Success!
Planning for the success of a project is much better handled when you are planning your strategy in bits and pieces. Small steps along the way will make huge strides. It's like the question, "how do you eat an elephant?" One bite at a time.
Far too often, we try to take giant steps toward the goal line to speed up the process. And, then in the process, we end up farther behind because the faster we go the behinder we get.
Big breaks can just not be planned or forced. They just happen. Big breaks come to everyone at some time or another. If you think you've never had a big break, that's not true. You might have not recognized it, but they do come around to everyone at times, sometimes very camouflaged but, there nonetheless.
Throwing Caution To The Winds!
The guy waiting on the big break will bet the whole farm on his idea. He is so sure that it will succeed that the sky is the limit as to what he will sacrifice to have it. As stated, these ideas work sometimes, but it's the exception rather than the rule.
The pursuit of the big break is not wrong in and of itself. It's just the approach to the big break that causes them to fail so often. We put just one strategy, plan, technique, or method into play and that's all we got. If that one method doesn't work, we're up the dirty creek without a paddle.
By the same token, if we put together a bits and pieces plan to approach this situation, then we're really not depending on the big break. We're using the techniques that will increase our odds of success.
Too Tired To Sleep!
The big break then often shows up and right out of the blue presents us with a nice trophy. But the most frustrating part is when we try to force it, gamble for it, or spend every waking hour in a gut wrenching frame of mind hoping for success from it.
For example: We have all heard of the TV star that got his big break. He was just walking down the street and some producer saw him and made him a star.
Then there is the person who decides to go to acting school and learn the art of acting and makes his way by small steps to stardom. Maybe this guy will never make it. But, what are the probabilities of the first guy?
The second guy is making plans in a calculated manner and does not look for his help coming by just happening to be in the right place at the right time.
An Uphill Battle!
You should understand that depending on the big break is as unreliable as it is infrequent. And, it can also do harm to your motivation. Living by the desperation of a big break can become enough of a habit that you fail to make calculated plans for success.
You will develop the jack-rabbit start in everything you do and run out of gas long before you get to the finish line.
It can cause you to completely overlook a viable opportunity when it comes your way. If the opportunity looks like a big break and it smells like a big break, then make calculated risks and turn it into a planned strategy.
When You End Up With Lemons, Make Lemonade!
It doesn't necessarily have to be avoided. It just needs to be approached with a different attitude than someone would approach the big break. I.e. The big break mentality.
If you consider the big break as an accidental occurrence, then life does not become a series of desperation attempts. Surprisingly, big breaks can be helped by natural occurrences that happen accidentally.
But, the worse thing you can do is to always be looking for one magic pill that will create a big bang and bring instant success. Living for the big break will be a sure recipe for disaster.
Brink Of Disaster!
Big breaks will come around in a natural response to the project you're trying to complete. Take advantage of them as they come naturally; just don't set up yourself for depending on them in a nick of time. You might find out your "nick" is on the brink of disaster.
How do you know if you are waiting on the big break? Ask yourself, have you analyzed the upside and downside? If you have and can see what the risks to reward are, then you are not waiting on the big break.
You Won't Suffer From Stress, You'll Be A Carrier!
If you find yourself wringing your hands, hoping against hope, in fear of disaster, you're playing with fire. And, the proverbial fat lady is just about ready to sing for you.
