Learning from adversity

 If they knew that every form of defeat, and all failures, bring them the seed of unborn opportunity, they would keep on fighting and win. Success usually is but one short step beyond the point where on quits fighting.

Failure is a man made circumstance. It is never real until it has been accepted by man as permanent.
Failure is a state of mind; Therefore, it is something an individual can control until he neglects to exercise this privilege.

Failure brings a climax in which one has the privilege of clearing his mind of fear and making a new start in another direction. Failure proves conclusively that something is wrong with one's aims or the plans by which the object of these aims is sought. Failure is the dead end of the habit-path one has been following, and when it is reached it forces one to leave that path and take up another, Thereby creating a new rhythm.

It gives an individual an opportunity to test himself wherein he may learn how much will power he possesses. Failure also forces people to learn many truths  they would never discover without it. Failure often leads an individual to an understanding of the power of self discipline without which no one could turn back after having once been the victim of hypnotic rhythm.

The permanent thing in the universes is change. Eternal, inexorable change through which every atom of matter and every unit of energy has the opportunity to properly relate itself to all other units of matter and energy, and every human being has the opportunity and the privilege of properly relating himself to all other human beings no matter how many mistakes he makes, or how many times of in what ways he may be defeated.

No one can change the law of hypnothic rhythm anymore than one can change the law of gravity, but everyone can change himself.
Have you ever tried to change someone else and only been frustrated when you realized you were not in control and therefore not succeeding?

The proper relationship is one that brings to all connected with it, or affected by it, some form of benefit.
Improper relationship - Any relationship between people which damages anyone or bring any form of misery or unhappiness to any of the individuals.
Improper relationships can be corrected by change of mind of the person causing improper relationsip, or by changing the persons to the relationship.

Adversity relives people of vanity and egotism. It discourages selfishness by proving that no one can succeed without cooperation of others.
Adversity forces an individual to test his mental, physical, and spiritual strength; it thus brings him face to face with his weaknesses and gives him the opportunity to bridge them.
Adversity forces one to seek ways and means to definite ends by meditation and introspective thought. This often leads to the discovery and use of the sixth sense through which one may communicate with infinite intelligence.
Adversity forces one to recognize the need for intelligence not available except from the sources outside of one's own mind.
Adversity breaks old habits of thought and gives one an opportunity to form new habits; therefore, it may serve to break hold of hypnothic rhythm and change its operation from negative to positive ends.

Failure is a blessing when it forces one to depend less upon material foces and more upon spiritual forces.

When a man can no longer use his hands and his feet, he usually begins to use his brain, thus he puts himself in the way of discovering the power of his own mind.

The loss of material things may teach many needed lessons, none greater, however, than the truth that man has control over nothing and has no assurance of the permanent use of anything except his own power of thought.

Life gives no one immunity against adversity, but life gives to everyone the power of positive thought, which is sufficient to master all circumstances of adversity and convert them into benefits.

The non drifter meets with temporary defeat and failure, but his reaction to all forms of adversity is positive. He fights instead of giving up, and usually wins.

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.

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.

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.

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...
