THICK SKIN IS SOMETIMES VITAL

Sometimes in order to survive criticism it's important to have thick skin. I have a problem and that problem is that I don't always use the thick skin I do have. There's that occasion when I'll let my temper get the worst of me. I guess it's a matter of perspective, sometimes what we feel is a product of where the criticism is coming from. If someone we love says something it tends to feel a little different, if someone we don't give a shit about says something it can hit like a missile. I guess today is more of a let it out day for me. I hope this brief passage helps you out in some way.

IT'S NOT NEWS

Lately i've become more and more interested in discovering what wonders the human mind holds. What we hear about the mind now is not really anything new. Writers like Dr. Norman Vincent Peale and Napoleon Hill have been telling us about the power within us for years. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale actually talked about the power of positive thinking and wrote of it based on his studies of ancient texts that spoke of just that.

I think that we become fascinated with the idea of positive thinking simply because we don't engage in that practice as often as we should. If we really think about it even when we do well it seems to be almost part of the plan so we go with it. Do we control our destiny through our thoughts? I'd like to think that we can, the human mind is an incredibly powerful tool. What I'm saying is not new and it's not news, it is a rarely observed fact.
