Freezing

I did end up watching 'The Omen Legacy' for about an hour before switching it off because it was more of a refresher course on the original 'Omen' movies and it wasn't really interesting at all since I have read all the four books which are far more interesting in the moving image. Today the remake of 'The Omen' has been released and I haven't seen it yet but will go and watch it sometime this weekend to see if it was worth the time and money for a remake. The movie which I did enjoy heaps was 'Seducing Dr. Lewis' - a canadian movie made in french. It was refreshing and heaps of fun. It is a story well-told and has a pleasent charm to it.

Finally shifted my rooms - it is still a bit untidy and chaotic but that should be another day's work. Benji will be coming back to New Zealand tomorrow - so will be going to pick him up early tomorrow morning. I had an email in my inbox which I had to share with everyone because it is so true. On that note - I will sign off.

FACING YOUR ENEMIES WITHIN

We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Maybe some of our fears are brought on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by what you've read in the papers.

Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o'clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you won't need to live in fear of it.

Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us.

Let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from within. The first enemy that you've got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference. What a tragic disease this is. "Ho-hum, let it slide. I'll just drift along." Here's one problem with drifting: you can't drift your way to the top of the mountain.

The second enemy we face is indecision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise. It will steal your chances for a better future. Take a sword to this enemy.

The third enemy inside is doubt. Sure, there's room for healthy scepticism. You can't believe everything. But you also can't let doubt take over.

Many people doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the government, doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities. Worse of all, they doubt themselves. I'm telling you, doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success. It will empty both your bank account and your heart. Doubt is an enemy. Go after it. Get rid of it.

The fourth enemy within is worry. We've all got to worry some. Just don't let it conquer you. Instead, let it alarm you. Worry can be useful. If you step off the curb in New York City and a taxi is coming, you've got to worry. But you can't let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a
small corner.

Here's what you've got to do with your worries: drive them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you, you've got to get it. Whatever is pushing on you, you've got to push back.

The fifth interior enemy is over-caution. It is the timid approach to life. Timidity is not a virtue (unlike humility - they are different); in fact, it can be an illness. If you let it go, it'll conquer you. Timid people don't get promoted. They don't advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace. You've got to avoid over-caution.

Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. Build your courage to fight what's holding you back, what's keeping you from your goals and dreams. Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.

To Your Success,


Goodnight,
Amit
