Opportunities are never lost, they are just found by someone else; typically by those who are PREPARED to notice them… We don’t see with our eyes, but rather our brains. We are bombarded with billions of bits of information every moment, but our minds only become AWARE of what is important and relevant to us (which varies depending on our frame of mind).
Fix your thoughts, focus and attention on good news and opportunity, and your brain literally goes to work seeking what it believes is ultra important to you.
Obsess on bad news, doom and gloom and— well, you get the picture…
Obviously, to remain AWARE and focus on what “IS” relevant and important is the key. Ron Graves would encourage everyone to remain OPTIMISTIC when dealing with adversity, and to make the CHOICE to proceed in one positive mind set, or the opposite. As an old PR guy, did you know that average person is exposed to over 8,000 to 10,000 commercial messages every day. From billboards to street signs to radio to television – everyone wants your attention!!!
Pick your target carefully; we find what we LOOK for (and this is a “target rich” environment.) (courtesy of Bill Johnson – his reply to Kit on FaceBook)
I had the opportunity to meet Kit Cummings a couple of weeks ago in Woodstock at a Re/Max Town and Country function plus he is one of my Facebook buddies. After meeting him and hearing some of his life’s experiences, I realize that he is the real deal; having been there and done it. Kit loves life and people and is a positive motivator through and through. He tells it like it is, saying it nicely and sometimes in a humorous manner, but still getting the point across. And a lot of people have taken his ‘point’ and put it to good use in their own lives. There are times in our lives when we feel like we are between a rock and a hard place and we need people in our lives like Kit.
Check him out at www.kitcummings.com and see if what he has to offer can work for you or maybe your company. Motivation is a good thing, when done in a positive manner.
