I believe in positive thinking and keeping a positive attitude. This is not always easy. Since I am not even close to the goal I set,  I was ready to head to the library and starting with Doctor Norman Vincent Peale and Earl Nightingale, pump up my positivity so to speak. These two taught me that everything I need to get what I want is within my reach. Acres of Diamonds by Russell H Conwell explains this pretty well. But then I remembered the subliminal tape that I had used over 30 years ago that seemed to work then. I understand the power of suggestion and that it may work only because I want it to and not work otherwise but does it matter if it works.

I decided that I would do some research on the internet to see what I could find out about subliminal tapes or mp3's or whatever. I was rewarded on my very first search with plenty of sites selling subliminal mp3's and most gave you a free mp3 to try and one site gave me 3.

So I have started listening to a couple that I liked and it is already making a difference. I will probably go back to the sites I found and buy one or two so that I don't feel guilty. 

What's the difference you ask? Well, I am not procrastinating as much and I am able to focus on one task instead of jumping around. I have a better handle on my buying "shiny things" addiction and most importantly to me is that some recent "ready to give up" thoughts have gone away at least for awhile. 

I haven't had much to blog about because I haven't felt I had much to share. My recent bout with feeling defeated caused me to make some changes that didn't involve internet marketing and I once again feel confident that I will make a living at this. While it may not always be true I do think that most of the time the only thing that defeats us is ourselves.
