The secret of success is constancy to purpose.
-Bejamin Disrael

Perception is another key to never giving up.
“Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so”. - Shakespeare

Visualize what the result of your decision will be before making a decision
One of the ways we can affect where we end up is, when making a decision, try to see the outcome of the decision before going into action. Visualize what the result of your decision will be.

It’s an amazing tool. I think most of us would act so differently if we took the time to play out the decision in our mind, in reverse; if we see the result and play it backwards in our minds from result to decision. Do this while listening to your inner voice, and not lying to yourself.

Imagine if a married person with kids would play that moment before choosing infidelity in his mind at that critical decision-making moment. Imagine if you could see yourself not in your home, not with your kids, and financially destroyed. See the pain and result of a good time decision you’re about to make. Yes, if you would think backwards you would save yourself a lot of grief.

So here’s another exercise to try: Start think­ing several decisions backwards before you make them. Think result, back to decision. See yourself fatter as you decide to eat third helpings. See yourself in jail or in court if you decide to drive your car after drinking. Try it with the little things and Train Your Brain, and this process will take hold in the bigger decisions. Go make a copy and before you hit the start button see the paper, see the light, and see the whole process backwards.

Your have unlimited channels in your brain, muck like a TV set that is plugged into whatever we want to watch. Instead of watching the old channels with bad re-runs that makes you mad, pickup the remote and change the channels to whatever we want to see. Stop reacting to the negative things in life, and decide what you want to see. "My attitude is my decision."


Excuses reinforce the behavior of failure. They help the Law of Negative Accumulation take over different areas of your life. The Law of Negative Accumulation is very powerful. In some ways, the Law of Negative Accumulation is more powerful than the Law of Positive Accumulation.
Excuses are failures! That’s how you have to retrain yourself. Every time you’re thinking of an excuse, you’re thinking of a way to continue to fail.

Remember, as long as there’s a way to get to the other side of the wall, life is an opportunity. If there’s no way to get to the other side, then it’s a fact.
