"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." -- Thomas A. Edison
What do these people have in common?
Walt Disney, Winston Churchill, Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln, Joanne Rowling (Author of the Harry Potter books), just to name a few.
Well, I'll give you a hint.
You might say they all attended the same school.
Took some of the same courses, in a manner of speaking.
Every one of them is famous today, and is considered to be the model of a successful person.
However, at times in their lives, and not just during the early years, they had pretty much either failed, or had not achieved anything of note in their lives.
They all attended, in one form or another, the school of hard knocks.
But, they learned in that school, and they eventually accumulated enough knowledge, enough common sense, enough experience, enough guts, maybe, to rise to a point where their names have been recorded as a part of history.
Oh sure, circumstance played a part.
Had not World War II happened along, Winston Churchill would have remained a has-been rather than becoming one of the world's most famous statesmen.
Had Abraham Lincoln caught a fatal disease in his youth, we would never have known his name, and how much of our world would be different?
We have to look at our lives and our circumstances in this light.
I AM here now, and I CAN make various choices.
One of the choices is to do nothing.
One of the choices, however is to take a stand, give it the old college try, go out swinging...pick your literary cliche.
In the world of network marketing and internet marketing, those with experience and "success" can almost to a person tell story after story of failure, embarassment, defeat, rejection, and depression.
I've never met a person yet who joined a program and was making appreciable amounts of money in just a few days.
I've HEARD about such things, and I am sure that there are a few who have either had the skill or luck to create a huge network business practically overnight.
However, it doesn't happen to most of us.
What DOES happen to most of those who sign up for a network marketing program is that while we AREN'T experiencing overnight success, we DO experience failure, embarassment, defeat, rejection, and depression, not to mention other "...slings and arrows of outrageous fortune."
This combination of negative pressures without any offsetting positives (I'm talking about income) in the early stages of a network or internet business causes most of the so-called "failures" and drop-outs in the networking world.
The sad part is that most of these people do not truly become "failures" until they actually give up.
Yes, some will never be successful, but that is true about anything from brain surgery to law to flipping burgers.
Some people are just not going to be good at certain things.
Some people are going to be in the wrong place at the wrong time almost every time, but that does not mean that they are failures or should be branded as such by themselves or by anyone else.
Temporary failure, if we can see it that way, is not just a course in the school of hard knocks, it is a coach.
Just as a coach may pit a boxer, wrestler, or entire team against a tougher opponent in hopes of teaching them to overcome such opponents, failure gives us the opportunity to learn new skills and to unlearn old, useless skills.
Those who continue to grow through this process are the ones who will eventually be labeled "successful".
It is necessary to see the obstacles that a new marketer faces as training experiences, not as an insurmountable or immoveable objects.
The sad part is that so many people recruiting for network marketing programs go out of their way to play up the potential gains of the business while failing to prepare the new player for the difficulties of the game.
Many of us who have achieved varying degrees of success in network marketing or internet marketing can tell many of the same stories.
We tried all kinds of programs, methods, and techniques.
We bought, or bought into, all kinds of books, programs, software, and miscellaneous mumbo-jumbo.
We did it because we were ignorant, and perhaps a little greedy, but eventually we learned, and eventually we succeeded.
I now make a living off the internet, the mystical target, the six-figure-income.
However, beside me is a bookcase full of books, on top of my work station are all kinds of software, loaded onto my computer are many programs, tucked into nooks and crannies around the room are folders full of papers.
Among all of these are many things that I use to promote and grow my business, but, to tell the truth, I could probably dispose of ninety percent of it and never miss it.
I have spent so much time following the wrong paths, and so much money (my term is "accidental tuition") buying things that did little or nothing for me.
And yet, I cannot truly regret all that because I never gave up the idea that some day I would succeed, and each "failure" just was another lesson learned.
Eventually, all those lessons reached the point where one day my wife looked at me and said, "You know all those ads you use to read to me about making a six-figure-income?"
I replied, "Yes.
What about it?"
She said, "You are."
I had graduated from the school of hard knocks, at least for the time being, but I did not grauate because I was brilliant.
I graduated because I didn't give up.
Wow!
Me and Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln.....!
Okay, I'll shut up now, but I started with a quote and I'll end with one.

Aerobic Exercise
Aerobic (also called cardiovascular exercise) exercise requires continuous, smooth, rhythmic movements that strengthen your heart and lungs. This type of movement works large muscle groups and causes you to breathe more deeply.
This forces your heart to work harder to pump blood and emits carbon dioxide and other waste products. It also causes your body to burn a higher percentage of calories from fat.
Participating in aerobic exercises can be fun because there are so many choices available. Some examples of aerobic exercises are:
*Walking
*Aerobic dance
*Swimming
*Bicycling (inside-stationary bike)
*Ice, Roller or In-line skating
*Cross-country skiing
*Running or Jogging
*Water aerobics
*Stair-climbing
*Elliptical training
*Rowing
If you are hesitant to start an exercise...

Your Daily Struggle With Depression
If you have been diagnosed with depression or feel that you are dealing with depression on a daily basis, you may feel that depression is consuming your life. You worry about everything. You don't want to do anything. The things that used to make you happy, well, they just don't seem important anymore. You need to realize that depression is a serious condition and that without the assistance of a doctor, depression just won't go away.But, you can learn to deal with the effects of depression within your daily life.
Yes, it is hard. Yes, it would be much easier to try and forget about it all. But, if you ever want to be happy again, you'll want to find a way out of your black hole. In order to deal with depression on a daily basis, you may have to force yourself to do things that you do not enjoy doing anymore. You may have to surround yourself with people and places that are positive.
You may have to seek out a therapist to talk to about your depression.No one said that...
