Keep Your Chin Up!


If you’ve been at internet marketing very long or even just researching it trying to prepare
to launch your business, you know how discouraging it can be at times. No matter what you do
or how hard you try it seems that nothing goes right. We’ve all been there. The fact is life
itself can be that way. However, we’ve got to keep on keeping on if we are going to succeed.

It’s so hard to stay positive when everything around us seems to be crumbling at our feet
irregardless of our best efforts to thwart the negativity. It’s tough to convince ourselves
that it’s only a temporary setback when there seems no end in sight.
However, maybe if we just learn to look at setbacks a bit differently it will help to change
our mindset into a more positive energy.

Everyone fails from time to time despite trying so hard not to. On the other hand, are they
even really failures? Let me give you an example. If I set a goal of say, signing up 100 new
subscribers for the month but only get 50, is that really a failure? Looking at it from another
angle, I just learned how to successfully get 50 new subscribers. I now know that if I double
my efforts next month I should be able to get in the neighborhood of 100 subscribers. So the
reality is, even though I missed my target goal, I still accomplished something very worthwhile
so it really wasn’t a failure after all. Hey I actually feel better about not reaching my target
goal. See how a small change can work wonders for our attitude?

We are bombarded every day about so many negative things. Some close to us and more personal and
others farther away but on a much bigger scale. Wars, hunger and disease to name but a few. Murders,
destruction and others crimes seem to run rampant. Couple those with the more personal things we
come up against and it seems near impossible to stay positive and focused. There are so many little
things at a more subconscious level that we don’t even notice. It may sound silly but, most folks
call a traffic light a stop light. Why I’m not sure because it also tells us when to go. For some
reason the most common name is a negative one using the word stop.

The fact is our mind is molded by what we put into it the most. Negative things go in, negative
things come out. If we can change our perception even just a little, there will be more positive
things going in. Positive in, positive out.

Easier said than done? Is that what I heard you say? *AHEM* You’re still thinking negatively!!
Change the way you think and change your life. You can make it better if you keep your chin up!

A Simple "Flick Of The Switch" Of Your Attention From The Inattention Of Unconsciousness To Conscious Attention by Elysha
You will not see who you are - this "you" of you - while you keep on persisting in believing this mind that is busily informing the mindbody that you think you are. You are not this mind informed mindbody that you find yourself travelling around through. No amount of thinking is going to deliver you of the beauty of your self - the heart of existence. You are literally going to have to surrender, let go of and leave alone your ongoing and momentary attempts to try and be who you think you are to come to the clarity of who you already are - there is no getting around this one. Who you are is this "motion of seeing" that is flowing through the eyes of this mindbody that you find yourself flowing through, right now. Who "you" are is already here, in this very moment. You can actually and truly be completely free from the bondage of this prison of your own making, if you are so wanting. Letting go of what was never true of "you" and consciously being this one that is this "you" of you is completely available to you, right here and right now. If you do not want to be who you are then you need not do anything differently to what you are currently up to and doing in your daily and momentary living. However, who you are is already true of you and this "you" of you is the "motion of aliveness" that is flowing through the very eyes of this mindbody that you find yourself so intimately involved with. You are to find this one that is seeing through your eyes - the seer - by consciously aligning your focus of attention to this very "aliveness" that is flowing through your eyes in this moment. Then you are to stop at and as this one that is "you". This you can do because it is "you". Learning to move from this "you" of you is what frees you up to this "you". Who you are is already here. You need not "try" to be who you are; you simply need to realize that "you" already are; you need to "be" this amness of you. It is a simple "flick of the switch" of your attention; from you believing yourself to be who you think you are to the realization - energetically - that "you" already are; from the inattention of unconsciousness to conscious attention; this on a momentary basis. Because who you are already is, you can actually "stop and drop" what you are not and "see and be" who you already are. Will who you think you are help you along with being who you are? No. Not at all. Au contraire. Who you think you are works flat out in distracting you from the "seeing and being" of who you already are. This running commentary of your mind is an adept at the art of distraction - it is what it does. It will have you looking at anything, anything at all, rather than have you "seeing and being" this "you" of you. Of course, an ever growing of uncaused happiness is not the result of living this attempt to try and be something that is notyou, either. Pain and suffering, falsehood upon falsehood, fear and desire, guilt and doubt is what is served up as the daily menu. All the while, "you" are already right here and flowing through the eyes of this mindbody that you find yourself flowing through, closer to you than the nose on your face. The heart of existence, the beauty of the divine one, is this "you" of you.
