Fear in Middle age

This common form of fear drives us so hard that we overwork our bodies and bring on the very thing we are struggling to avoid.

What a tragedy to watch men and women drive themselves when they begin to arrive at the forty year milepost of life the age at which they are just beginning to mature mentally. At forty we are just entering the age in which we are able to see and understand the handwriting of nature, as it appears in the forests and flowing brooks and faces of other adults and little children. Yet this devil fear drives us to the point that we become blinded and lost in the entanglement of a maze of conflicting desires.

The principle of organized effort is lost sight of, and instead of taking hold of nature's forces that are evidence all around us and permitting those forces to carry us to the heights of great achievement, we defy them and they become forces of destruction.

The power of self confidence
Ignorance of this force is leading the majority of people to apply it so that it acts as a hindrance and not as a help.

Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance and self control and strength of will and context and a hundred other virtues which the idle will never know.

Not only does lack of necessity for struggle lead to weakness of ambition and willpower, but what is more dangerous still, it sets up in a person's mind a state of lethargy that leads to the loss of self confidence.

The person who has quit struggling because effort is no longer necessary is literally applying the principle of autosuggestion, undermining his or her own power of self confidence. Such a person will finally drift into a frame of mind in which he or she will actually look with contempt upon the person who is forced to carry on.

The human mind if you will pardon the repetition, may be likened to an electric battery. It may be positive or negative. Self confidence is the quality with which the mind is recharged and made positive.

Success is the result of intelligent effort and does not depend upon luck.
Success is always the result of conscientious and efficient effort.

No man can become a great leader of men unless he has the milk of human kindness in his own heart, and leads by suggestion and kindness, rather than by force.

Nothing can bring you peace but yourself nothing can bring you success but yourself. of course you will need the cooperation of others if your aim is success of a far-reaching nature, but you will never get that cooperation without the positive attitude of self confidence.

The one who advances believes in themselves, and backs their belief with such dynamic, aggressive action that others can recognize it in them, self confidence is contagious; it is impelling; it is persuasive; it attracts others.

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

So what is your money blueprint set for?

Are you programmed for managing your money well or mismanaging it? Are you a spender or a saver ? Wealth principle: The only way to permanently change the temperature in the room is to reset the thermostat. In the same way, the only way to change your level of financial success "permanently" is to reset your financial thermostat. You can become an expert in real estate or the stock market. All of these are tremendous "tools." But in the end, without an inner "tool-box" that is big enough and strong enough for you to create and hold on to large amounts of money, all the tools in the world will be useless to you. Your income can grow only to the extent that you do. Remember that the first element of all change is awareness.Watch yourself, become conscious, observe your thoughts, your fears, your beliefs, your habits, your actions, and even your inactions. Put yourself under a microscope. Study yourself. Wealth principle: Consciousness is observin...

Wealth File #4 Rich people think big. Poor people think small

Wealth principle: The law of Income: You will be paid in direct proportion to the value you deliver according to the marketplace. The keyword is value. It's important to know that four factors determine your value in the marketplace: supply,demand,quality and quantity. The factor that presents the biggest challenge for most people is the quantity. The quantity factor simply means, how much of your value do you actually deliver to the marketplace? Another way of stating this is, how many people do you actually serve or affect? Most people choose to play small. Why? First, because of fear. They're scared to death of failure and they're even more frightened of success. Second, people play small because they feel small. They feel unworthy. They don't feel they're good enough or important enough to make a real difference in people's lives. But hear this: your life is not just about you. It's also about contributing to others. It's about living true...
