Learning in Economic Quicksand

L.I.F.E.
Lessons Intended For Everyone
Every situation in your life begets a lesson. Sometimes the message is positive. Sometimes the lesson is negative. If you keep on enjoying the “option” to live, there will be a lesson. And it’s easier to follow a negative role model than a positive one. Why? Because we defiantly refuse to follow the path set by someone’s negativity. We resolve to not be like that person… never allow that to happen to us… to be sure we make better choices.

However, we tend to shy away from the lessons of positive role models because we become shy and doubt our ability to rise to the level set by successful people. We justify not having the same resources… being unable to sustain that intensity… feeling we can’t be as good as our heroes. We surrender to S.I.L.L.Y. reasons to keep ourselves back.

Self Imposed Limitations Lie to You
Take a moment, sit down, and think about some of the things you once told yourself you couldn’t (or wouldn’t) dare do. As you add up the number of hurdles that you ended up eclipsing, laugh at the SILLY reason you used to keep yourself back.

Laugh at anything that threatens your S.H.I.N.E.
