Evolution is a result of life testing biological organisms and pushing them to their limits.

Evolution takes these organisms out of their Comfort Zones and onto a new and better path. Those who adapt, continue to evolve. While those who procrastinate become the Dodo’s of this world. This is how Dinosaurs became Birds and grew wings, and this is how we too evolve and take flight towards the mountain peaks of our dreams.

I make plenty of mistakes throughout the day by saying something stupid, doing something silly, or simply not doing something that I should. These things do not define who I am unless I accept them as being a part of me. And I don’t accept them as a part of me because every night I take the time to alter these circumstances in my mind. I consequently learn from my mistakes and hopefully become a little wiser in the days to come

Those who come to understand, learn to effectively manage, and take action upon these patterns have the advantage of knowing:

Yes… True Optimism is about knowing when to take 2 steps backwards before moving forwards once again.

The other type of Optimism is the kind where people don’t seem to feel the weight of their problems on their shoulders, they don’t see the weeds that are destroying their dreams, and they fail to understand that life isn’t a straight line forward, but rather a curved line that turns in on itself time after time before moving forward once again.

Furthermore, he informed me that goals aren’t achieved but rather they are ATTRACTED by the person I become as a result of the consistent discomfort I successfully and proactively face as I move through life.

Affirmations are “Old School”. They are a passive way of conditioning the mind. Moreover, they don’t work very well if there are limiting beliefs that contradict the affirmation that is being chanted. On the other hand, Questions open up possibilities and portals for new understandings, insights and answers.

Therefore whenever I seek to improve my life circumstances, I sit back reflect and ask question after questions after question, until the right answers come my way.

Simple, yet potentially very powerful technique.
