Seize The Day by Crystal Wright

Here's ONE way to look at things:

• There is so much competition.
• All the jobs are taken.
• No one is working.
• I can't find any work.
• The economy is slow.
• I don't have as many jobs this year as I had last year.
• I'm not making any money

Not one of these thoughts is a solution to anything that will produce a positive result. In fact, spoken out loud they sound even worse don't they?  They strip you of the energy you need to move forward. Years ago my personal trainer would say, "Crystal, if you stop all of that huffing and puffing, you would have more energy to lift these weights, do these sit ups and generally produce the body you "SAY" you want.

Lets try this again:

• The thing I love about competition is that it keeps me on top of my game.
• Every time I go to the news stand, turn on the TV or open up the newspaper to look at what's playing at the movies, I notice that there seem to be more projects than ever being produced.
• Everyone is working.
• I have stepped up my prospecting from making no outgoing phone calls to making 10 calls a day and now I'm finding work everywhere.
• Is the economy slow? I hadn't noticed. I'm more productive than ever.
• At my current level of productivity, I forsee having about the same number of jobs that I had last year, but I'm working smarter and becoming a better negotiator, so I'm making more money.

Change the way you THINK about a THING, and the THING you think about will CHANGE.

In the movie Dead Poets Society with Robin Williams, he teaches his students how to see things in a new way. And when they take an action to try something new. . . . .Everything CHANGES.

This video is only 2:27. Watch. Listen. Learn. And then, think about THINGS in a new way.

Still Standing: From Debutante to Detox $29.99 The dressing gown was pink candlewick. Old brown vomit stains on the lapels tried to hide themselves in shame as I swept into the room, weaving my way towards the silver drinks tray with its Waterford crystal decanters of whisky and brandy. By the time I raised the decanter to toast the lite of Auckland, the dressing gown was flapping around my naked body like a spinnaker without its sheets. That Liz Jamieson-Hastings is sane, sober and still standing is a miracle. At 21 she was a hopeless alcoholic; now she is a respected counsellor, decorated for her services to the community, which include substance abuse programmes in schools, prisons and even the US Navy. Her inspirational story is one of privilege and social advantage preceding a spectacular fall from grace. Her battle against anorexia and alcohol should have killed her - her fight back to normality, only to watch her first husband succumb to cancer, should have sent her spiralling back into self-abuse. It didn't. She's still standing, and her amazing life exemplifies the incredible strength of the human spirit. Her lively, hard-hitting story includes strategies for fellow sufferers and their families. In her devastatingly honest tale of personal survival, Liz shows what hope, honesty, hard work and the generous help of true friends can achieve.

Standing By $18.99 Alison Buckholtz never dreamed she would marry a military man, but when she met her husband, an active-duty Navy pilot, nothing could stop her from building a life with him- not even his repeated attempts to talk her out of marriage. He didn't want her to have to make the kinds of sacrifices long required of the spouses of military personnel. They wed shortly after September 11, 2001 and, since then, their life together has been marked by long separations and unforeseen challenges, but also unexpected rewards. Standing By is Buckholtz's candid and moving account of her family's experiences during her husband's seven-month deployment on an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf. With insight and humor she describes living near a military base in Washington State, far from home and in the midst of great upheaval, while trying to keep life as normal as possible for the couple's two young children. But she is not alone in her struggle. In Standing By , Buckholtz portrays her friendships with other military wives and the ways in which this supportive community of women helps one another to endure-to even thrive-during difficult times. Throughout Standing By , Buckholtz speaks honestly about the culture shock she experienced transitioning into the role of a military wife. Because she had been raised to conquer the world on her own terms rather than be a more traditional wife and mother supporting her husband's career, the world of the Armed Forces was at first as unfamiliar as a foreign land. But a remarkable and surprising series of events has challenged her long-held assumptions about the military, motherhood, and even the nature of American citizenship. A rare and intimate portrait of one of the tens of thousands of families who now wait patiently for their service member to return home safely, Standing By is a window into what matters most for families everywhere
