First of two parts

As the days grow busier with the arrival of the holidays, I sense a difference in how I feel each day. What used to be calm and serenity interspersed with clients has become stressed.

I used to have this feeling daily when I worked for the big corporations. As I became accustomed to surviving without the giants, my stress sharply decreased. l

I was not on the clock. I did not need to be up at a certain time to meet deadlines. I had nowhere I needed to be. At this point, one could move into inconsolable depression. Or you could find that within you are depths of unrealized courage and love.

Our true strengths come from adversity. Our growth of knowledge is linked to how we face reversals. We cease allowing our sub- conscious to dictate our feelings. We learn there are other desirable other ways to behave but we cannot attain them. This is ridiculous. Why?

When you decide what you want to be, who you want to be, you begin to feel as if you already have attained your goal.

You have.

You figured out that to gain your larger goal you set a series of smaller, less daunting goals, which accumulate, to gain the larger goal. Often we are overwhelmed by minutiae.

When that occurs, you lose sight of your goal. Then smaller goals turn into irritants When you regain the bigger picture, you and put the smaller tasks into a better perspective and getting back into a groove.

People who say, “I have to go to work today,” will be less successful than a person who says “I want to go to work today.”

“Have-to” is a chore. “Want-to” is a desire. Remember you always have a choice. These choices help you to be the success you want to be. People who tend to put the needs of others ahead of their own needs also become more successful. There is a wise saying:

You have more financial success when you think less about what you want and more about how to give a client what he or she wants.
