Success with an Attitude


I found that joining a home business (in my case "MyInternetBusiness") and consistently working with it, learning new ideas, and never giving up, was much easier to do after I considered the following.......

There are people who have advantages that you don’t. You can be mad and cry about that or you can turn your disappointment into something that contributes positively to your life.

Life isn’t fair and never was promised to anybody that it would be fair. If life were completely fair then everyone would be the same and I’m not sure that’s what we would really want – stagnation and boring.

As it is, life is what you make of it. What you do with it is different than what the next person does with it. As a result of all of the diverse choices, the world moves forward in new and fascinating ways that could never be imagined by anyone attempting to make it fair.

We each have our own challenges and joys, from both we can learn and grow. When we accept that life isn’t fair, it’s only then that we can begin to make it valuable.

Though life is not fair, it is very much worth living. Though life is not fair, each person has the opportunity to make it magnificent in his or her own special way.

To Make Money Online Recognize Opportunity

"If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade." -- by Tom Peters

Recognizing that there are scams to be found on the internet home business industry that are here today and gone tomorrow there are legitimate programs that are not fly by night and are truely here for the long term. MyInternetBusiness is one such opportunity. There are others and by getting involved in a home business creates a terrific opportunity to make good money online.

The point of my writing today is to encourage you to eliminate the temptation to "pull down the shade of opportunity" and actually checking out the opportunities before you. Information is key to finding success and the opportunities who provide you with plenty of information should be on your list of opportunities to take seriously.

Interesting Tidbit

My last post mentioned how my son was sick and he's over it now. But low and behold I had to go to the doctor for myself and found out that I have the Influenza A. Did you know that the flu shots we all took recently (assuming that you took one) were only about 40% effective in helping to prevent the flu?

I though it was interesting to find out why, as explained by my doctor. When the medical profession puts out a flu vaccine it is based upon the previous years flu. It is intended then that when the next flu virus hits that the vaccine based on the last flu virus will fight the new virus. But the flu mutated (changed) this time around so the vaccine didn't help as much as it should have.

But my doctor said that it at least helped me and whoever else took the flu shot, by saving about 40% of the efects of the virus. So it wasn't worthless to have taken it. Boy it sure didn't feel like it helped me 40%, and you know what I mean if you've had the flu and know how it feels

Another interesting thing I learned was this: I always thought that when you get a virus like the flu that you simply had to get over it by resting etc. and that you could take a pill to fight it. We'll I was wrong because they now have medicine that can help heal one from the flu virus.

I'm not intending to sound like I know a lot about this stuff, because I do not, and I know this doesn't have anything to do with business or success like I usually write about, but when my doctor told me about it I thought it interesting. Perhaps it's interesting to you as well, if you didn't already know it.

Do It Now and Don't Procrastinate!

My five year old, Jason, has been sick the last week and finally I got it. Of course we all get sick so I'm taking my turn but this time I'll have to say it's a doozy.

Since I work at home I have the chance to take care of my son when my wife is out. When he does those child things like crying over what seemingly is nothing, I think of how glad I am to be home to show kindnesses to him.

You can use some of thefollowing words about procrastination with anything in life that you wish to succeed at. Being that I write on Home Business you can use it for that as well.

Wish I didn't procrastinate with friends or anything else as for that matter, why do I procrastinate? I'll likely not ever find the answer, but I can try to eliminate it, even though I don't always know why I do it.

Here's a poem I read that addresses the subject of procrastination that pumps me up when I read it.

When you have time---the friend you hold so dear
May be beyond the reach of all your sweet intent;
May never know that you so kindly meant
To fill his life with sweet content--
When you had time.
Now is the time! Ah, friend, no longer wait
To scatter living deeds and words of cheer
They may not meet you in the coming year--
Now is the time!
--Gordon Owen
