momentum builds MOMENTUM

You know it is true...have you ever watched a team on a hot streak? It is an awesome spectacle to behold! there is nothing like watching a person, team or situation that is going horribly awry, only to see the momentum shift and to see an overwhelming victory take place. IT'S AWESOME!

Each and every one of us has within us the opportunity to change our own personal momentum. By thinking the the right thoughts and remaining positive, especially when things are going against us, we can and often do, overcome towering heights. I have seen it and experience that on a regular basis. Most people experience it at some point in their lives, but rarely attribute it to their own doing...make no mistake about it, there is divine intervention in there as well, but YOU have a lot to do with it too.

There is something that is absolutely inspiring and uplifting about looking problems in the eye and defining yourself by the way you handle the toughest problems in life. I have little to no tolerance for victims in life. I have had enough things happen to me to call myself a victim, but you know what? I brought on, as most of us do, the problems in my life...There are some exceptions, but most of us are directly responsible in one way or the other for the things that happen in our lives.

You may not believe that, and I am ok with that, but there is one thing that is hard to argue with and that is the fact that we are absolutely in control of how we react to the things that happen in our lives. We are also responsible for how we interpret the events that happen in our lives. So, in a round about sort of way, we are all responsible for our own momentum.

If you want to feel the awesome power of your own potential go look in the mirror and if you wear glasses, take your glasses off. By the way, you may want to do this when nobody else is in your house because they will think you are losing your mind. Go look yourself in the mirror and look deeply into your own eyes. Then ask yourself...out loud, if you have what it takes to be "________________________" (that means you fill in the blank with whatever you aspire to be) Whether you believe you can do it or not...answer the question (out loud) with a "Hell Yes!" and when you do that, do not take your eyes off of your, well, eyes! Stare yourself down and look deeply into your eyes until you believe you can do it...get focused and chant "Yes, Yes, Yes, YES, YES!" It may sound corny, but I love to give myself a gut check to see if I am ready to handle all that the world is going to throw in my lap today.

You see, I believe in creating my own momentum (with the help of Divine intervention) and I can do it on a dime. If you are ever wondering when a good time to start building momentum is, then that is the right time. If you are already operating out of momentum, then gather speed. If you have negative momentum ie. you are moving backwards, that is the best time to practice this. If you can create forward momentum out of negative momentum you are a master! But once you even try, you are better off than before.

That's about it for the moment, I am so damn fired up I can't stand it!

Rock On!
