THE LADDER OF LIFE







You have to realize that you are in 100% control of your actions. Your actions cause a reaction. The reaction can be positive, negative, or a little bit of both. That is completely up to you.

Let me try to put it into perspective. John is failing school. This is his 6th year of college. His parents are running out of money. He has singlehandedly put his parents into the worst debt of their lives. What does John do?

The first mistake most people make in this situation is think negatively. Don't put pressure on yourself because you made bad decisions. Don't bring yourself even more down than you already are. Positive thinking is the only way to climb back up the ladder. everyone has a free ride to the top of the ladder. It is completely and absolutely up to you. You must step up to get to the top. If you bring yourself down negatively you will step lower and lower. the lower you go on the ladder the harder it is to climb back up.

So, now that you are thinking positive you are on your way up. The first step is usually the hardest. The past is the past, your time is now. Your actions don't change the past. They only change the present. Assign yourself a positive outlook. You may not know where your going to be, but you can know where your going. If you trust yourself, then your there.

Take big steps. Don't short yourself. You are capable of of big steps. Most people don't believe that there is a top to the ladder. Don't even think about the top, its all about the climb. Think about now!

Watch were your stepping. A good test for me is, always make sure you don't have to take a step backwards to get forward. For example, if your in debt, the last thing you want to do is take out another loan. You wont know for sure if your step is the right one. The step could be in the wrong place, but if you were positive about it, the step was in the right direction for you. "Right"? You will get there eventually, just keeping stepping.

IF YOU FEEL POSITIVE ABOUT YOUR ACTIONS AND DECISIONS AT THE TIME, THEN YOU WILL MAKE WELL EXECUTED DECISIONS.


IF YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE CLIMB, YOU ARE ALREADY AT THE TOP.........
