frustrated by sudden plot twists, excited
by climaxes like weddings and falling in
love, and disheartened by tragedies and
let-downs. Despite our predilections as
natural storytellers, few of us actually take there will be the freedom to think and the
time to step out of our stories and figure
out what they’re about; who is writing our
script, why we’ve selected our chosen roles,
or how the challenges that we face can
help us develop the strengths we need to
move to the next chapter. Why is this so?
One reason is that it’s very difficult to be
objective about our own stories. Another
reason is that many people are afraid to
question their storylines for fear that
they might not like what they find. They
are trapped in the box. But this might be
more a problem of over-valuing materialist
achievements and undervaluing the subtle
but substantive personal victories that
build character – facing a fear, changing an
attitude, or kicking a bad habit.
Why Do People Struggle
My experiences have taught me that
most people struggle in life because their
happenings are not in line with their
expectations. Follow this advice and you
will be on your way to success – do not
fix your weakness, strengthen your
strength! And sometimes you need to
tap into the strength of another in order
to grow and excel. But that is ok too. The
vast majority of us always think ‘routine’
and do not anticipate the likely future.
We work on things that are not within
our control and then make it worse on
ourselves by complains, but fail to look for
alternate solutions. We are not ready to
adapt to the ever changing dynamics of the
world and the environment around us. The
brain moves forward but the heart never
forgets. Most of us go through life with
the belief that we cannot do something
because we have failed at it once before.
In order to succeed, your desire for
success must be great than your fear of
failure. Remember – if you have the ability
to CREATE, you do not have to worry
about competition. If you don’t build your
dreams, you will be hired by someone else
to build theirs.
It All Depends On How We THINK
Our mind is our best friend and our worst
enemy. When our mind is focused our goals
are achieved. Free your mind and think. If
you want total security… go to prison, for
there you will be given clothes, medical
care and even food. The only thing lacking
freedom to act.
There comes a time in one’s life when the
big decision is whether to turn the page
or to close the book. And believe me that
doubt makes it the hardest decision of
them all, for either way it seems like the
right thing to do. Doubts kill more dreams
than failure ever will. And once again it
depends on the way we think.
“ A mind that is stretched by
a new experience can never go
back to its old dimensions”
A mind that is stretched by new experiences
will never go back to its old dimensions.
Have you ever thought of the Golden Gate
Bridge in San Francisco as one of the most
beautiful and most photographed bridges
in the world? Yes, indeed. It is a testament Are you truly in Control
to humankind’s technical ingenuity and
also to our moral failure, for the Golden
Gate Bridge is the second most common
suicide site in the world. It all depends on all the traffic signs along the way that tell
how each individual that sees the bridge,
thinks.
A boy enters a barbers shop only to hear the and deliver us to our destination. When a

the kid to take what he wants. The kid takes
the quarter and says “thank you sir”. The
barber turns to the customer and says “see
what I said… I have been offering him the
dollar for as long as he has been coming to
my shop for his haircut, but the kid always
takes the quarter and never the dollar – he
is dumb”. The customer turns to the boy
and says, “Kid, you are certainly dumb”. The
boy turns to the customer and very politely
states “no sir… you all are dumb. The day
I take the dollar the game is over. I have
been taking this quarter each month when
I come for my haircut for years now”. It all
depends on how we think!
And my advice… Never approach a bull
from the front, a horse from the back and
an idiot from any direction – they will all
beat you with their experience!
When we get into a car and drive to a
new location, we are always thankful for
us what to do, or better still, what not to
do—slow down, one way, wrong way, and
so on. These signs are there to guide us
business plan fails, trust me, there are signs
along the way that you have neglected to
observe and reflect on seriously. There are
signs that must have warned you of the fact
that your plan has not worked as effectively
