For example:</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;"><span style="color:#9932cc;">(a)</span>. View setbacks as detours, not dead ends. Winners don't just face adversity; they embrace it, knowing it leads to future success.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;"><span style="color:#9932cc;">(b).</span> Tune out the critics and focus on doing your best. Anybody who accomplishes anything worthwhile has to overcome naysayers.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;"><span style="color:#9932cc;">(c)</span>. When you're afraid, praise God until your faith rebuilds. It may take a while, but praise and thanksgiving never fail, and will give you the strength to go on.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;"><span style="color:#9932cc;">(d)</span>. When you fail, look for the lesson and remember all the times you've succeeded. Weed out self-doubt and replace it with scriptural self-talk.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;"><span style="color:#9932cc;">(e)</span>. When you're heading into battle, visualize yourself winning in God's strength-with Him "all things are possible" (Mt 19:26).</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;"><span style="color:#9932cc;">(f)</span>. Instead of focusing on the past and worrying about the future, focus on the now-that's where your influence is greatest. remember, God said, "As your days, so shall your strength be" (De 33:25 NKJV).</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;"><span style="color:#9932cc;">(g)</span>. Instead of complaining, work on identifying solutions, and more will come to you.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;"><span style="color:#9932cc;">(h)</span>. When you're distracted, focus on your breathing, take a walk and clear your mind, think on what you can control, and surrender the rest to God.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;"><span style="color:#9932cc;">(i)</span>. When you're lonely, remember the people who've helped you this far and who love and support you.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;"><span style="color:#9932cc;">(j)</span>. When you're fatigued, take time to rest-but never ever give up! Finish strong in everything you do.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;"><span style="color:#9932cc;">(k)</span>. When you're under pressure and under scrutiny, smile and have fun. You only live once. Life is short...so seize the moment!</span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align:center;"><p align="center"><i><span style="color:#0000ff;font-weight:bold;font-size:14px;"><span style="color:#800080;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><big>Regards and Blessings to you,</big><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:16px;"><big>Jack McLaughlin (JMAC)</big></span></span></span></span></i></p></div><p align="center"><span style="color:#4682b4;"><strong>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</strong></span></p><p align="center"><span style="color:#4682b4;"><strong><br /></strong></span></p><p align="center"></p><div><p align="center"><a href="http://www.your-daily-income.com/"><img src="http://www.your-daily-income.com/images/ydi%20banner250x250.png" alt="ydi banner250x250.png (115478 bytes)" width="247" border="0" height="246" /></a></p><br /> <br /><div style="text-align:center;"></div></div><p style="font-size:16px;" align="center"><span style="color:#4682b4;"><strong><span style="font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></strong></span></p><p align="center">Follow Me:</p><dl><dd><p align="center"><big><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-size:16px;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/YourDailyIncome"><img alt="Facebook.png (2174 bytes)" src="http://www.your-daily-income.com/images/Facebook.png" width="37" border="0" height="37" /></a><a href="https://plus.google.com/101676442129130661667"><img alt="GooglePlus.png (2606 bytes)" src="http://www.your-daily-income.com/images/GooglePlus.png" width="37" border="0" height="37" /></a><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/jack-mclaughlin/2a/685/404"><img alt="LinkedIn.png (2444 bytes)" src="http://www.your-daily-income.com/images/LinkedIn.png" width="37" border="0" height="37" /></a><a href="https://myspace.com/yourdailyincome"><img alt="MySpace.png (2658 bytes)" src="http://www.your-daily-income.com/images/MySpace.png" width="37" height="37" /></a><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pinterestjmac/"><img alt="Pinterest.png (1952 bytes)" src="http://www.your-daily-income.com/images/Pinterest.png" width="37" border="0" height="37" /></a></span></span></font></big></p></dd></dl><p align="center"><span style="color:#4682b4;"><strong>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</strong></span></p></div>
