The Definition of Magic is Opportunity
What do you do when you are too depressed or anxious to change what is happening in your life? You see other people accomplishing things and you are stuck in the same place. Many people would like to believe that if I close my eyes and wish real hard it will come true. And in defense of these actions they call it a positive attitude. And when they really don’t want to get off the coach they defend themselves by saying “don’t you believe in magic”
When I was kid I used to watch Peter Pan the movie very year. And there was a part where Peter Pan said in order to fly think lovely thoughts and eventually all the children began to fly. Now I actually think that Peter Pan had something there. But since they were headed to Neverland and I want to head to Somewhere land I would like to change the methods a bit. Think lovely thought as in goals choose things you care about that are part of what makes you yearn. That excitement and that energy will make you more buoyant. I don’t think it will make you fly however.
So what will make you fly? Knowing the land that you are about to fly to. Study, research, never fly blind. Look at what other’s have done to get there. Then plan out what actions you will take. Go in with an experimental attitude. If something doesn’t work don’t cling to it. Just try another way. Getting it right the first time is not the main thing being able to be creative and flexible is the main thing. You get to forgive yourself if it doesn’t work If it doesn’t work go to plan B (BTW there is a whole alphabet soup in reserve if Plan B doesn’t do than do C or E that is why you research ahead of time) There are too many excuses not to keep trying .The challenge is too keeping doing.
People stop after they have failed and this is a tragic mistake. All people mess up or don’t predict things accurately. It’s the people who dust themselves off and say to themselves I don’t need to do that again that keep moving. I 100% guarantee that in life you will make some mistakes. And while you won’t get your money back on that guarantee what you will get is life experience. Don’t assume you know everything be open to learning.
What if you get frantic or anxious and you just DO? If you hit the wall sit down, reflect consider what has gotten in your way and how you can deal with it. If your way is completely blocked then you need a new mind set give up your first line of attack and go for another option. You must always have back up plans if something doesn’t work the way you expect it to. So you see there is a lot to think about besides lovely thoughts to get a project off the ground!
