There's Too Much Out There To Just Be Out There

It's Your Attitude And Your "Perception" CCC

How do you view obstacles, do yo get upset when they come, do they feel like someone or something is vying you to see how quick you'll give up on what your trying to achieve and take another path that will lead you down a completely different road you did not intend to take?

An interview with Michael Phelps was conducted and he spoke on this and how he doesn't let ANYTHING stop him from achieving what he wants to do in the sport of swimming, and we can see how far that has gotten him. I'm pretty sure he has applied this attitude into other aspects of his life as well.

The statement Phelps made was this:

"For me when I watch other sports, when I watch Tiger Woods, when I watch [tennis player] Roger Federer, when I watch [tennis player] Rafael Nadal, the best athletes can compete under any circumstances. No matter what it is, no matter what the pressure, you can always overcome whatever is put in your way."

This was the question:

"What do you think separates the people who are merely gifted from those like you who in this instance, won?"

What's your Legacy?

When does this thought process begin? Should it start when your in your thirties, twenties or your teens?

How will people remember you when you leave this relm?

Will your family miss you but have a great blueprint and financial prowess to help them navigate through life without you there?

Will you have had a positive effect and great memories from people you came in contact with?

What will they say about you?

What Will The Dog Do?

What will the dog do if he ever caught that car? I dont think they've really thought that part out.

Why are they chasing that car? Is it because they've seen other dogs doing it?

Why do we go after what we go after, do we think about what will happen if we ever get some of the things that we look for? Are we mentally, physically and spiritually ready for what will come if we obtain what it is we are pursuing? Being prepared is key, having a plan of attack is key, because when and if we catch that metaphoric vehicle, then what?

The vehicle for these gentlemen was to make a "statement" to Obama and get publicity while doing it, but I dont think they did enought research, and their plan wasn't well thought out. They caught their vehicle but look at what happened after they caught it.
