Creditors are like black birds sitting on the fence along life’s highway waiting for some road kill so they can get their piece of what is left. How do we avoid being found on the road dead with everyone trying to get a piece of what’s left?
Are we only to buy what we have cash in hand for? Is there such thing as good debt? Can debt be used as leverage? Why do they call them loan sharks?
No money down with no interest for 12 months, does that sound too good to be true? Absolutely it’s a scam to get you to pay a higher interest rate.
A penny saved is worth twice as much as a penny borrowed. A wise man once said “The borrower is slave to the lender”. It’s like anything else, too much of a good thing will kill you dead.

Roll With IT!
Sooner or latter you are going to take a blow, and sometimes it’s below the belt. The key is not how bad it hurts or that it wasn’t fair, that you don’t deserve it. The key is how you respond to it.
Do I choose to get upset, depressed, or try and get even, just roll with the punches and make the best out of a bad situation. Will it really make it any better or get fixed any faster if I yell at the technician on the other end of the phone. In reality he will probably help me more if I am pleasant and remain positive and considerate of his time as well. Now that’s not the natural or easy response but the most effective.
My computer at work crashed first thing this morning and the technician said at 0630 this morning he would be out sometime today hopefully. Well its 1630 and I don’t believe he is going to show. So I have accomplished nothing today and we will see if I accomplish anything tomorrow.
One thing is for sure, as hard as it may be I am going to try and roll with the punches and make the best of it. It’s a growing stretching thing!

Mental War
Mental War
It’s what you think about all day that gets accomplished, invented or great gains are made toward completion. Fear paralyzes action, like how am I going to pay for it. I’ve never done this before. I’m not sure it will work; I’m in way over my head.
These are all self defeating statements and you defeat yourself long before you ever start. No wander you never achieve any success. You’re not even on your own team and your worst enemy. Action is what conquers fear, believe in yourself and step out in faith believing you can do it and the battle is half over.
Rehearse in your mind the task before you start it. When you can see it successfully in your mind’s eye you can do it. Do not attempt it until then.

Success
Success is as much mental as it is physical. It all starts with the right mindset and a positive outlook believing that you can accomplish anything. Being able to close your eyes and see yourself accomplishing it in detail time and again.
The road map is just as important in getting there too. You have to take the time to put your plan on paper and flesh out the details and set clear deadlines and dollar amounts. The clearer it is on paper the easier it is for the subconscious mind to picture it and to go to work on it.
Your road map gives you direction and as you make progress and achieve milestones it’s easy to look back and gain momentum to keep going. Deadlines fuel ambitions and motive action!

Conflict
Never try and make your point or take a cheap shot in the middle of a heated discussion. Hold your tongue and give it some thought before you attempt to get your point across. To defuse the situation; first, quit giving them ammunition. Shut your mouth or agree that you understand their point you just don’t agree with it. You will probably have to let the situation cool off before you try and restate your point and to gain some interest tie in one or two things they had to offer. Remain positive and never discredit their idea or regardless how much since your plan makes they will never hear it out. As a last resort agree to disagree. The absolute worst thing you can do is just avoid conflict because you will be walked on the rest of your life!

Desires of your heart
You are the only one that knows the desires and ambitions of your heart. Don’t let anyone talk you out of what it is that you long for.
Be your own person, never a puppet who allows someone else to pull their strings and influence what they do and think.
Listen to other peoples input but don’t allow them to make your decisions for you. Stand up for yourself, besides you are the one who has to live with those decisions for the rest of your life.
Conflict – never try and make your point or take a cheap shot in a heated discussion. Hold your tongue and give it some time and thought before you attempt to get your point across.
To defuse the situation don’t give them anymore ammunition and agree on the fact that they are indeed upset and make certain you express that you understand that.
