How to think and act positive when your situation seems negative

from http://fathersayings.com/tag/think-before-you-speak/
Many times we don’t achieve our greatest potential because we cease to think and act positively when our situation seems negative. The key to focusing on the thinking and acting positive is repetition. This includes repetition in saying, seeing and doing. If you focus on the positive outcomes and outlooks of your life by repeating positive statements, you will find yourself living a better life. For example, I’m going to get my dream job; I’m going to be a better spouse; etc. Next, if you write down yours goals and read more positive books, you will see your life’s successes increase significantly. Often times we don’t achieve greater success because we simply forget about our objectives and goals. Lastly, we have to convert the saying and seeing into action. Even if we make the smallest step of obtaining a better job or more business, it will reaffirm our previous thoughts. So to change your negative outlook on life, you must start with saying and seeing; and the doing will come naturally. These steps may seem simple at first. However, when it comes to making significant changes in your life, these same steps can turn into monumental life moments.

    Vision is always the key to achieving your goals. If you cannot see it, if you cannot see it you cannot speak it, and without those no action can follow. That is why it is important to really focus in on your dreams, see yourself in that position or activity clearly and start believing that it is yours. Great post

    I totally agree... That's what seems to be the hardest thing for a lot of people: changing their thinking of themselves.

How to handle your divorce?

Going through a divorce is never an easy process to initiate. I’ve been through one. You make a vow to stick with someone for the rest of your life. And then all of sudden, you find yourself arguing everyday and totally loathing the presence of the person.  So I’m writing this blog post to hopefully help others who are thinking about going through this process; or those who have started the process already.   I handle a few divorce cases and I’ve learned prearranged agreement is always better. I think too many times spouses are wanting to get the most out of a divorce. But, in the process they drain their personal finances. People see a lot of high-net-worth individuals on social media and television getting divorces. You see the ridiculous amounts of money for child support and alimony.  However, in everyday life, people don’t have access to millions of dollars and multibillion dollar companies.  With that being said, my encouragement a lawyer is to make sure you to work out an agreem

Forgive yourself. Allow yourself to succeed.

From Will Smith's fourth single "Just the two of Us" A great actor, motivator and lyricist:  Will Smith As I’ve been pondering about my life, my travels and the people I’ve met, I realized that I made a lot of bad choices and/or mistakes. However, I think what has allowed me to succeed in spite of my downfalls is the ability to look towards the future and forgive myself. There is no way to ‘right’ your every ‘wrong’:  (1) it could be very time consuming; and (2) it takes you away from the things you could be doing in the present. A major reason for people not succeeding in their own desired capacities is because they are either stuck in the past or living in the future. On one hand, you want to remember the past and learn from your mistakes. On the other hand, you want to have goals and continuously strive to meet those goals. As a person who has done both and some time struggle to balance those behaviors, it is extremely important to be well balanc

Criminal Charges and Mental Health

One of the increases legal issues that I see in present day society is the increased rate of arrest with people who have mental illness.   You might have heard of Matthew Rushin, a 22-year-old who was arrested for hit and run motor vehicle accident in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He was diagnosed with a mental illness and acquitted of the charges. But, just think about the use of taxpayers' money for the arrest, imprisoning of Rushin, and district attorney time for trying the case.  This post isn’t about money, but more so on how to deal with law enforcement and the court system with someone who has mental illness. One of the issues you must understand when it come to this is that not everyone is a psychologist and/or psychiatrist. You will have to do the educating of the law enforcement agency, the prosecutor, and the judge.   Too many times, individuals think that everyone has the same level of knowledge about mental illness, let alone a specific one.   If you or a love is detained
