Get Double For Your Trouble

Daily Success Motivation and Positive Thinking

"For, he that expects nothing shall not be disappointed, but he that expects much - if he lives and uses that in hand day by day - shall be full to running over." -- Edgar Cayce

So you've had some setbacks and challenges. Have you ever been at that place in life where it seems like you've done what you can but just can't get a break? For your every effort at positive thinking and success motivation you've had overwhelming negative thinking and lack luster motivation.

Well it's time to get fired up!

Life is going to deal you your fair share of trouble and if you are old enough to read this then you most likely know this as fact already. What matters is how you deal with your portion of trouble. The moment you decide to get your life back is the moment you actually start to get your life back.

Reach back for your comeback
Listen, the only moment you have is now. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow never really comes. BUT you can use yesterday to build a better tomorrow. Sometimes we all need a blast from the past. We need to remind ourselves of past performances that highlight our potential for a better tomorrow.

Your past can be your coach or critic. Selective memory is required. Remember the wins. Forget everything else that is useless to helping you build a better today and tomorrow.

If you feel you've taken a few steps back on your path to personal fulfillment than stop, reach back and remind yourself of your strength and determination. Remember the victories. They do count! Just like a bank account, your past victories are on deposit for you to make a withdrawal against at anytime you deem necessary. Remembering past victories does not mean living in the past when you use it fuel your continued success in the present.

Relive those powerful moments in our mind right now. Pick one that is most powerful for your encouragement right at this moment. Feel the moment. What were you thinking at the moment of victory? What were your emotions? That's right be there and feel it all. Anchor that moment in your mind right now. You can relive that moment right now as if it were happening to today. Your imagination doesn't know the different between fact or fiction.

Now take that moment and get fired up to move forward. Step forward...again...and again...until you get your breakthrough. Don't give up!

It's Better To Expect Than It Is To Regret
Jim Rohn said "Discipline weighs ounces, regret weighs tons". You must expect much to happen and do your thing rather than languish in silent agony because of fearing to act. This only leads to regret. Pay the price and do what you must to get your dreams!

You have to think yourself "I'm going to get double for my trouble". Don't settle for just getting by. Don't settle for just making it back to where you were either. Instead, focus on going the distance two-fold. Determine that for every challenge you face, that you are going to have twice the victory. Decide that for every setback that you encounter, that you are going to take twice the number of steps forward.

Your results are solely up to you! A mere decision mixed with positive expectations is all you need. Don't you think it is better to expect double for your trouble rather than the regret of not having tried?

"Think and feel yourself there! To achieve any aim in life, you need to project the end-result....Think of the elation, the satisfaction, the joy! Carrying the ecstatic feeling will bring the desired goal into view." -- Grace Speare

You need to determine to see yourself winning the race...and getting twice the reward for your trouble and efforts! How big can you think? What compensation in life do you want? You can at least start by believing and expecting to recover twice what you may have lost due to delay and setbacks. Why not? Are you with me? Does this sound crazy to you? Why double for the trouble? Because it's better than a single and easier than a triple.

Advancing Your Journey
You will only make progress when you are focused on your goal. There is no time to waste. Expect to make up good ground and accelerate your success and you will. Expect to be compensated handsomely for your trouble and you will. Expect to recover twice what was lost and you will.

Expect to get it going and you will. Your journey doesn't stop unless you say it does. Setbacks are setups for comebacks anyway. Ask of life what you will and expect to get it. It's better than not asking at all.

Instead of settling for the minimum, ask for a double portion!

what is it all for? don't you think this is a sort of fooling yourself; a (little) fraud to move on, to make one step forward... but to where? and after all, what is the motivation for a (success) motivation?
