The Danger Of Negative Thinking

As you have shown an interest in starting a business of nyour own it would be safe to assume that you want to changenyour life. You want more money - more control over yournlife - more respect. But just as we each have a dream, wenalso have a reality.

Unfortunately for most people, the reality bears no nsimilarity whatsoever to the dream. In many cases, thendream exists as an escape from the reality.

Think now of YOUR reality - the life you lead every day.
What do you do? How do you feel as you awake? Do you havenany enthusiasm for your way of life? Do you enjoy your nwork, or are you on welfare? Then ask yourself thisnimportant question: Do you resent having to live this way?

If you answer 'yes' to that question, then you are in danger nof succumbing to the most destructive human emotion - Hate.

If you hate the life you live, the people you deal with, thenactions you are forced to take, then you will find yourselfnrapidly rushing toward disaster. When you hate, you may as nwell be drunk! You no longer function in a creative manner.
Your mind is geared toward destruction. Instead of aimingnto create a new life for yourself and those you love, younwill become obsessed with the act of revenge.

The more that you hate the people and situations around you, nthe more your mind becomes poisoned with the purpose ofngetting even. Logical thought becomes impossible and hatenthen becomes a substitute for action. You must learn NOW,nto resist the urge to hate. It achieves nothing constructive nand it will destroy both you and your dreams ofnsuccess. As Ghandi said..."An eye for an eye just makes thenwhole world go blind."

Take a good look at your way of life. Do you always have tonmake do with what you have got, because you can't afford anreplacement? Are you always having to put off paying billsnuntil next week? Have you never enough money to enjoynyourself? Are you unhappy with the area in which you live?

You may find that you are regularly having to write a checkno
Monday and hope that you will be able to cover it by
Thursday. Or you may just be sick of the daily grind ofnearly mornings, or the regular nightshift. If most of thesenapply to you, the you probably hate living this way. So nownmake a POSITIVE effort to achieve success. Only throughnpositive endevour and thought will you achieve your goal.

Although your current way of life may be hard, think not how tonget rid of it, but how to REPLACE it with a better way ofnlife. Think SUCCESS - not revenge. Assess what you resentnabout your life now.

You may even resent the things that you would normallynenjoy, were your circumstances different. Occassions like
Christmas, birthdays, and Easter can can be trying timesnwhen you have no money to spend. Children don't understandnthe restrictions of a tight budget, and it can cause greatndistress to a parent who is unable to give his child thengift, or day out, that they would like. Now imagine thendifference in these circumstances when you have achievednsuccess and you are wealthy.

There is no harm in imagining the difference your wealthnwill make to your lifestyle - but approach itnlightheartedly.

Say to yourself: I will work to be a success so that I canntell my boss where to stick his job! And so I can see thenlook on the Bank managers face when I tell him not to bothernoffering me overdraft facilities anymore! This attitude isnpositive, but don't hate the way things are, or the peoplenit involves. That would only make things worse. You willnhave plenty of time to reflect on your past when you arenwealthy!

These things that make you miserable and depressed will benall behind you when you put the secrets of success to work.
Imagine life without all these trying times. You will benable to enjoy Christmas, and give your kids what they want.
That squillion function, water-resistant, solar-poweredngizmo (that they ALWAYS wanted) will be a drop in the oceannto you!

Many of the people who buy books on starting a businessnactually don't bother starting up. They can't imaginenthemselves ever running their own business and earning
Unlimited amounts of money. They never see things hownthey CAN be - only how they are. Don't make this mistake!
KNOW what you want, KNOW how to get it, SEE how it WILLnbe, and then go for it!!

Yours in success,

Kevin Quigley
