In the end, if you finish the work, then magic will take place in your life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">It\u2019s all about Finishing The Work!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">And yes a positive attitude can and will help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">But it\u2019s also not going to happen every single time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">As a matter of fact I wasn\u2019t and frankly still am not too excited about writing tonight. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">It\u2019s been a long day, my inner voice isn\u2019t happy with me, and it wants to go to bed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">However, I know that writing is something I must do and I know that it benefits my business tremendously. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I know the numbers and the results. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Therefore I must do it regardless of my attitude. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 align=\"center\">A Positive Attitude Can and Will Destroy Your Chances For Success!!!<\/h2>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Yep I said it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Truth is we feed ourselves full of shit. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">We tell ourselves stories, feed the \u201cPositive Attitude\u201d, that eventually get in the way of the Brutal Honesty it takes to truly succeed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Dan Kennedy (Marketing Genius) wrote that it doesn\u2019t matter how positive his attitude is he\u2019s never going to be an NBA Superstar and probably not even a water boy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">If you make a decision and are going in the wrong direction with a positive attitude\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">\u2026Guess What?\u2026Your not going to get where you want to go no matter how positive your attitude is. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">If you are constantly trying to put a Positive Spin on negative things you\u2019ll fall into the Very Hurtful Trap of Lying to yourself. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">And lying to yourself is the worst possible thing you can ever do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Why?<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Because It robs you of any real chance of succeeding. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">There is a Famous Self Help Guru that has an exercise he does at his seminars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">At the very end of his seminar he has you write your top 10 goals on a piece of paper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">He tells you to read them to yourself then wrinkle up the paper and throw it away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">He tell you to maintain a positive attitude and as many as 50% of your goals will be achieved within 5 years without ever thinking about them again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Ummmmmm\u2026BULLSHIT!<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I don\u2019t care how Positive you are. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">You must prepare, do your homework, and take massive action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">It doesn\u2019t matter how you feel. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">YES! you want to try your damn best to maintain a positive attitude. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">But it\u2019s not the cure all. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">ACTION is. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">And you sure don\u2019t want to let your \u201cPositivity\u201d delude you into believing truths that are fiction in your own mind. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Sometimes Negative Thinking is the best tool to use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I\u2019ll give you a recent example of mine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">For too many years I\u2019ve accepted being \u201cOverweight\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I\u2019ve tried being positive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I\u2019ve focused on my Positive Outcome. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Yet I just kept getting fatter and fatter. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">No Positive spin could cover up the truth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I am a Fat Bastard that has one foot in the grave. <a

style=\"font-size: small;\">I the way I looked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I the way I felt. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I had no energy to keep up with my little 5 year old daughter. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">For the past three months\u2019 I\u2019ve been as consistent as ever on my diet and new healthy lifestyle. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I\u2019m enjoying the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">And when my mind starts to wander off track I don\u2019t focus on the Positive stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I see that picture, that I locked in my brain, of me looking horrible at the gym in front of all those pretty ladies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I see that picture of me feeling insecure as I was heading into the sauna. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I remember what it \u201cFeels\u201d like to not be able to do the things I want to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">This is what make me motivated and stay the course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">It works for me. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I don\u2019t put some bullshit spin on it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I don\u2019t pretend what I might be. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Does this mean that I don\u2019t envision what I\u2019ll look like or feel like in 6 months or a year?<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Heck no.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I do that as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">But for me\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">\u2026focusing on the truth of the situation during my weak times is what keeps me going.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">For you it may be different. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">But telling myself I\u2019m a \u201clittle pudgy\u201d when I\u2019m a disgusting fat ass is just a form of self \u2013 delusion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Well there ya have it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I didn\u2019t even want to write this dang post.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">But I started. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">And now 37 minutes later I\u2019m done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I wasn\u2019t too positive in the beginning. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">I feel great now. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size:
