The Austrian Philosopher
That Austrian Philosopher Arnold Schwarzenegger, and yes, I did check the spelling, once said "shit happens."
Indeed it does! Does it, however, need to keep happening?
The answer is no.
What it takes is a view, a vision, of a world different. Of a world transformed. Changed.
Of new opportunities created. Of passion. Spirit. Rising to the challenge.
When I was extremely nervous before a talk, it gave me solace to repeat "I'm the best person for the job." I may not be perfect; I may not be the greatest ever; but I am sincere in my desire to do the best job I can possibly do.
Plus, I am the only person who is set up to do it. I am the only person here. I may not be great - but I am here. If I chose not to do it, I will definitely fail.
When I chose to do it, there is a possibility I could succeed mightily.
Certainty of failure or possibility of success? I choose the possibility!

Business for myself!
I have finished my last Landmark Education Course.
I have just about conquered a long term habit of drinking to excess - my favourite drink was "The Next One!"
Trouble is, I have never been able to handle it! I have a lot of friends who do exactly the same thing - but they don't get as intoxicated, as fast.
I have a lot of friends who dance, too.
But that, I am good at! Better than most.
I'm not the greatest, however! But I know what I need to do to get better. Practice, practice, practice!
I am going for my Silver Latin in July.
I have also the opportunity to go into business for myself. All I have to do each week is find 4 people who are in need of financial planning advice, are open to discussing their needs, and are close to my target market!
Nothing else will matter.
