HOW TO “GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND” AND FACE REALITY WITH POWER

This is one of the top 5 reasons many professionals do not reach their goals or get the results they seek on a consistent basis. We "hate" bad news. We hate the thought of facing it, dealing with it, and accepting the consequences that go along with it. So in response, what do most of us do? We AVOID it. We revert back to the belief that if we stick our head under the covers the same as we did as a child in our bedroom, the "monster" will just "go away". Or worse yet, we're mistake ourselves into believing that later we're going to find some "superhuman" strength to tackle the challenge when we "feel" like taking it on. Something we all know, never happens. So we live with our heads "in the sand". Giving away unlimited power by not facing reality. However, the truth is: Reality can be your best friend if you allow it to be. Reality will NEVER lie, sugarcoat the truth, or paint a "rosy" picture when one doesn't exist. These facts are what allows reality to make you powerful. Regardless of the reality we're facing, good or bad, it is critical that you learn the art of getting your head out of the sand and going after the challenges you face. This will unleash your power like you've never thought possible.

Re: Marketing ideas? - So True... find your REALITY [quote="whitepanther":264ry9n6]By asking people what they want and giving it to them, you will target your resources on the real needs in the community, and perhaps discontinue services that are no longer needed or in great demand.[/quote:264ry9n6]
Re: help wanted in u.k. - I got a very sarcastic comment on my invention this morning, which I admit I still find these upsetting sometimes. I looked up the senders site to get some feedback on where I might have gone wrong in life, in inventing this training device. Then I find the commenter is a 19 year old, who still watches cartoon videos (at 19) Is it just me that is out of sync or what ?? Let the boxerballs adventure unfold I say !! LET REALITY WIN OVER THE MASSES, MAD ESCAPISM ! Let the boxerballs adventure unfold I say !! Cheers Brendan P.s. I got a great break just yesterday as well, but I can not talk about it because of confidentiality rules. Also I gave some ideas to a business person who I met at the patent library, who has an up and running product, She called me a genius, mind you I must admit the ideas were brilliant she will probably make a million out of them, but that is what innovation is all about most of the times really. You got to interact and help people with their product if you can.
