[Quote No.43536] Need Area: Mind > Persist "[In life we continually come face to face with challenges.] If we chose to rise to the challenge, then we will inevitably engage a new part of our inner being in the struggle. As a result we expand and grow toward the fullness of our true nature. However, if we run from or avoid the challenge, we will remain stuck at the same level of existence - doomed to continually re-engage the same challenges until we finally rise above them or are destroyed by them all together." - Dara Marks She is a script consultant who has consistently been rated one of the best in the film industry by 'Creative Screenwriting Magazine'. Quote from her book, 'Inside Story: The Power of the Transformational Arc'. The screenwriter and playwright, Lisa Loomer, says 'Dara’s work is more than a unique approach to story.

[Quote No.44010] Need Area: Mind > Persist "[When you are pursuing your needs, goals and dreams] Unexpected circumstances can be thrown at you, but what is the thing that counts most in these situations? What counts most is how you react to what happens to you, especially when you have unexpected problems of any kind.
Here are five things you can do to assure that your attitude is the very best it can be, under all circumstances.
-1- Focus On the Future:
First, whatever challenges you face, focus on the future rather than on the past. Instead of worrying about who did what and who is to blame, focus on where you want to be and what you want to do. Get a clear mental image of your ideal successful future, and then take whatever action you can to begin moving in that direction. Get your mind, your thoughts, and your mental images on the future.
-2- Think About the Solution:
Second, whenever you're faced with a difficulty, focus on the solution rather than on the problem. Think and talk about the ideal solution to the obstacle or setback, rather than wasting time rehashing and reflecting on the problem. Solutions are inherently positive, whereas problems are inherently negative. The instant that you begin thinking in terms of solutions, you become a positive and constructive human being.
-3- Look For the Good:
Third, assume that something good is hidden within each difficulty or challenge. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, a major proponent of positive thinking, once said, 'Whenever God wants to give us a gift, he wraps it up in a problem.' The bigger the gift you have coming, the bigger the problem you will receive. But the wonderful thing is that if you look for the gift, you will always find it.
-4- Seek the Valuable Lesson:
Fourth, assume that whatever situation you are facing at the moment is exactly the right situation you need to ultimately be successful. This situation has been sent to you to help you learn something, to help you become better, to help you expand and grow [and evovle into your best self].
-5- Decide to Be Positive:
A Positive Mental Attitude is indispensable to your success. You can be as positive as you want to be if you will simply think about the future, focus on the solution and look for the good. If you do what other successful people do, if you use your mind to exert mental control over the situation, you will be positive and cheerful most of the time. And you will [pursist in your pursuit of your needs, goals and dreams and] reap the benefits enjoyed by all successful people." - Brian Tracy Highly regarded American management and business consultant and speaker.
