Yeah…

I am far from as funny as a lot of people that I know, but that doesn’t stop me from doing my best to make people smile and laugh to the best of my abilities.

Thanks a bunch for the positive feedback on this post, and I am so glad that you got so much out of it. Clear through those self-imposed beliefs, and before you know it, Red will be coming to YOU for drumming lessons!

It’s a GREAT post. I’m sending the link to some friends right now.
I love the way you put ideas. To the point & you make me laugh at least twice in your posts! That’s heaven.

I’m facing new self-imposed challenges right now and this post is what I need to be successful.
And one of them is to become a good drummer, just like Red.

Thanks for everything,
Patricia

Absolutely! Every SINGLE day is a gift, and even if that day starts with us not yet being exactly where we want to be in life, that is all the more reason to use that day to get there!

Thanks for sharing. I’ve enjoyed this post. Thumbs up!

Even if it were that simple, what would be the fun in doing a victory dance if you didn’t work for it??

If there is one concept that I repeatedly see the need for reinforcement on, it is that each of us is responsible for how we respond to the outside world, and to the people in it.

We may not directly control the events, but we DO directly control how those events effect us!

I love that. I live my life by it everyday. Great article Aaron.

That is exactly what happens often. People get so caught up in what is going on with everyone else, that their own long-term desires end up taking a back seat, if ever happening at all.

Thanks for posting that Steve Jobs video. I’ve seen it before, but it’s worth checking out for a reminder.

Thanks for this post, it inspired me to put up a blog post of my own today (even though it’s a short one).

It fits this topic perfectly and shows Steve Jobs telling 3 stories of his life. Very motivational.

Then my advice would be to take to heart what this post discusses. If what you’ve been doing for 3 years hasn’t worked, then try some new tactics.

I’m sure the music industry is challenging to succeed in, but there is always a way if you want something badly enough!

I could not be happier about you getting so much out of this post! As you indicated, we always get what we need when we need it, and even negative or less-than productive experiences are valuable.

Focus on what works, and leave the rest behind.

Thanks, Erin!

Thank you for another valuable post (I Dugg it, wink).

The universe always provides exactly what we need, exactly when we need it, and your post today was that for me.

Just yesterday I was speaking with my mentor about the apparent lack of results on a project that we’re working on, and I was telling him that despite my knowledge about Universal Law, I could feel the worry creeping in.

Not that I felt negative … I just felt extremely “realistic”.

But this is what he said, which I believe to be exactly inline with what you are saying here: Believe that what we desire is our outcome, and simply evaluate what is working, and was is not. Then amplify what we’re doing that is working, and release the rest as experience.

As a young entrepreneur, I am deeply grateful for your advice, and thank you for providing the opportunity for this dialogue.

Warmly and with blessings,
Erin.

Lately I’ve been becoming more “results-oriented”, meaning I focus more on the results and less on why I did or did not succeed. I find that if I overthink an action, the excuses for failure is almost self-fulfilling. Great post!
