Give Yourself a Chance

There is enough working against you. The economy. The competition. The dollar. The perception. These are out of your control, but there are many things in your control. When you're in control make wise decions, use logic, cooperate, and pick your battles.

Save your strength to fight the uncontrollable factors that we face every day. Identify the gimme's, and use them to your advantage. Fighting the petty things will only suck time, energy, and morale.

Get out of your own way, and use challenges as a path to success rather than a roadblock to redirect. We must recognize who is here to help, and who is working against you. The obstacles will never go away, we can only make them less effective by maneuvering more efficiently. There is no room for things that bring us down, they must be removed from our daily routine. If the factors that you control in life are working against you, you are setting yourself up for failure. Eliminate them, and give yourself a chance to succeed.
