Warriors and the economy

Warriors

In 1933 Fred Astaire was thrown out of a screen test audition. They said, "Can't act, slightly bald, can dance a little." He kept that note over his fireplace in his Beverly Hills home.

At the age of 52, Ray Kroc sold his first hamburger. Instead of retiring, he began to open a fast food chain...Mc Donalds.

He became completely reclusive when his older brother was killed in WWII but found solace in the radio. He began to envision himself as a DJ and went on to be THE DJ...Dick Clark.

Walt Disney went bankrupt several times...

The world's wealthiest novelist, J.K. Rowling, was on welfare raising her little girl when her agent called to tell her that Bloomsbury would publish her book about an adolescent wizard named Harry Potter.

Despite being rejected with 32 previously-rejected scripts Sylvester Stallone wrote "Rocky" in 3 days, went broke trying to sell the script (wife left him and he had to sell his dog to eat...), finally sold it, bought his dog back, and got 10 Oscar nominations. He read the rejection letters at the Oscars.

What's your story going to be? What are the struggles that you have had to face to achieve what you know you are here to achieve?

What legend will they tell about you? How will they reference your name to describe how to act when the chips are down? What example will you set?

Are you living in a state of ACTION or REACTION to the current economy?

If it's reaction, turn off the damn TV and do what you know you have to do to fix your situation. Don't focus on what you should of done with your money, the past holds no secrets to happiness. Only the now can make a difference.

Stop giving weight and energy to the financial "crisis". Everyday you must focus your intentions on what you know to be real in your heart. Especially now.

And for crying out loud...never give up. The alternative sucks.

To your Truth,
