life is not always as easy as these few little words is it? We have our own fears
Sometimes I feel like I need a whole aresenal of invisible protective gear just to get through my morning without blowing up! I know it is not as simple as telling you just to “think positive” and wonderful things will come your way. In fact, when I am in the thick of a bad attitude attack, that kind of syrupy sweet talk just makes me even more frustrated. Getting past the muck is a skill, a talent (a tough one at that) for some of us to master.
I say let’s burn down that whole word “cope” and work on conquering these demons that create the barriers in the first place, one by one. If I had no fear of failure, for example, then failure would not be an obstacle, would it? If I could keep a positive attitude most of the time, then the things that create chaos for me now would be but a mere molehill – wouldn’t they? And If I were confident that I could get everything I need simply by changing the way I ask for it, my needs would dwindle too, right?
Okay then. I know you may be skeptical, I am a little nervous too, frankly, but I’m willing to give it a shot. New things are always a little scary. Let’s try these tools out together. I have found one tool for overcoming each of these issues: Persuasion, Fear, and Positive Attitude. Each one is a download, and if you purchase them, I get a commission (thanks!) – but don’t click away just yet if you are turned off by that. Each of these gurus offer a gift for you, even if you do not choose to buy now. That is why I feel comfortable sharing them with you. What we can do is check them out, and share with each other what we like, what we don’t like, what we are trying out, and what is working best for each of us. We could become a micro community in overcoming these three common obstacles – Fear, Persuasion, and Positive Attitude.

Without reverting to cheezy claims of magic, Michael helps us understand some basics about how we think and process thoughts, and how to tap into the subtle cues we sometimes miss. By breaking his tips into a few at a time, we are not bombarded with too much at once. This way we develop the skill of persuasion, rather than simply educating ourselves on the topic.
