If Success was Easy, Everyone Would do it

Taken from Change Your Thoughts

Success is a favorable or desirable outcome, the attainment of wealth or favor, as defined Webster’s Dictionary.  Success is different for everyone, but it is definitely not an easy thing to accomplish, otherwise, everyone would do what it takes for success.

Success is a feeling and can be created and recreated again and again.  Here are some tips to create success in your life:

Tip #1: Enjoy and celebrate each moment on the way to success. Success doesn’t have to be associated with wealth attainment.  In fact, most people have achieved a level of success in some part of their lives, achieving a “desirable outcome.”  Reminisce the feeling associated with your success achievement.  You must have been very happy, inspired to achieve more, and desired to repeat your success.  You may have thought that it wasn’t really that difficult to achieve success or maybe it was the hardest thing you did, enjoying in the feeling of accomplishment.  As you reach for your next goal, focus on progress only, rewarding yourself every small step of the way.  Each daily accomplishment is a small success story on the way to the bigger success story.

Tip #2: Keep the end in mind, always. If you have been striving for success in an area of your life, wealth or other, and are not reaching success, you might have lost sight of the end goal.  You might have given up because it was too hard, too much work, or maybe you think that you don’t deserve your goal in the first place.  Maybe someone convinced you that you can’t do what you set out to do and you folded and listened to them.  You may think that you don’t know enough to be successful.  If you focus on the end result as you defined success, you will keep striving for it and no one, not even you, will convince you otherwise.

Tip #3: Create, evaluate, and recreate. Life is about recreating yourself.  If something doesn’t work, rather than fold, find a way to recreate.  Troubleshoot or recreating is very similar.  You create, evaluate and then refine.  Keep up this pattern, with rewards for each step of the way on your path to success.

Tip #4: Success can be for anyone. Get out of your head that the successful are gifted or that they were handed their success on a silver platter.  If that were the case, they really haven’t achieved success.  Success takes work, perseverance, and determination.  It doesn’t matter your education, height, knowledge or other factors.  It can be for anyone that wants it bad enough.

Tip #5: Success is all about mindset. Know that you can, and you will achieve your goal.  Visualize your goal, and you will be even closer.  You will remain on the path and you will achieve your success.  Be positive and remain on the path to success!

When you see “If Success was Easy, Everyone Would do it,” you may think that it’s too hard to achieve and you might just give up.  Follow every tip given here, focus on your end result and you will enjoy success!

Michael Jackson in Brazil Somebody Cared About Us

Shot in the Favelas of Brazil, this little seen video showcases the talent and the beauty of a segment in Brazil that’s rarely seen in a positive light. The media in Brazil take great care in only highlighting an image of blonde blue eye-ness and the dark skinned poor living outside the city is something that the government wish would just go away

I believe the video was shot by Spike Lee and it is a thing of great beauty, clearly handled with great care.

The Argument for Organic

I have an apple in my kitchen that has remained unchanged for 3 weeks

It looks as if it just fell from the tree.  Growing up if we didnt eat an apple within a couple of days then it was applesauce or worst, a waste of money

What was done to make an apple last so long? better still, what will happen to us for eating it?

Michael Eric Dyson Contrarian Views

I don’t always agree with M.E.D. but his views are good for the country, and support and appreciate his bravery

Although Michael Eric Dyson endorsed Mr. Obama he verbalizes what many Black folks are thinking,  Obama what’s your position on Black issues?

Michael Eric Dyson dissects the relation between the gay rights movement and the civil rights movement. “Many African-American people forget that the civil rights movement itself was borrowed,” says Dyson. “Pay some royalties to Mahatma Gandhi, because that’s where King got it.”
