The world is my oyster, everything is possible, nothing is too much of a problem. But when I'm with the nay-saying folks, I felt burdened because every opportunity is peppered with "What if". Successful sees opportunity in every problematic situation. They ask how they can have the best of both worlds instead of giving up one option. They see themselves as bigger than their problem. People that are closest to me may not fit the bill. However, for things to change I must change first. I'm working towards a newer me that think positive, talk positive and act positive. Hopefully, that would inspired the folks around me to feel the vitality and excitement to go for a inner makeover.

Not just in the online world but offline as well. Find people that are more successful than you and befriend them. Find out what they do, how they do it, and why they do it. Success rubs off. I always hear people that aren't successful saying about those that are, "they are just lucky." Successful people aren't just "lucky". They were prepared and in the right mindset when opportunity presented itself. My associating with and befriending successful people you can learn how to be prepared when your opportunity comes.

My only question relates to your comment about "goat setting" in your concluding remarks. i'm not at all certain how one "sets" a "goat." I've heard the expression "get one's goat," but how to SET it quite eludes me. Could you clarify? What an inspiring post – thank you!

Let me tell you about how this starts off VERY early in life. I was in a 5th grade classroom this past March. I overheard one of the girls telling one of the guys to think a little harder about who he hung out with on a regular basis. She spent some time gently trying to make him understand that once they got into middle school, some of the guys he was friends wiht might pull him away from teh right things and toward getting in trouble. She said it would only continue on into his life, his marriage, his jobs, etc. This, from a 5th grader. I was impressed that she was able to see things in such real and far-reading terms. The guy she was talking to took it quite seriously and I saw him make a progressive move to re-align his friendships. It causes quite a stir with his old crowd, causing a lot of hurt. But, he stuck to his guns. I can see him becoming a great MAN one day. I love this article.
