Eating The Frog Or Eating The Elephant

Piece by piece, any situation is a cinch to get over, but like any meat that you have to eat, it has to be cooked right. The meat of a situation is what I am writing about here. Not eating actual frogs and elephants piece by piece. Indeed, I am talking about chief metaphors here, and situations, not actual eating. So, that brings me to a point. I have all three editions of Brian Tracy's book "Eat That Frog", and I understand one thing: If it needs to be done, it needs to be done, also here is not any getting around it except to deny it or simply throw the situation away in total disgust and not want to deal with it.

In life there are things we must deal with "full boar" or totally engaged, and bad situations that come up are in that category. Today, I have a plumbing problem at home that I am dealing with that seems like an "elephant" at this time. Although I am at the library writing this article, I am still dealing with it piece by piece calmly, and arranging for repairs. Let me put it this way, writing this article today seems like the "frog to eat" and arranging the repairs seems like the "elephant to eat", indeed, I am dealing with them both piece by piece in a calm manner, though.

Listen, nothing ultimately is worth getting a panic over or too excited about. Nothing.

Thinking realistically, the more we handle in life without throwing it away or avoiding it in disgust, the better we get at handling life. All we have to do is think, act and generate results like putting the fork to our mouth with the frog or elephant meat, piece by piece. Get it?

When I think of reality, I think not of "beating reality at its own game", but I think of dealing calmly with it or to repeat the final words in James Allen's book "As A Man Thinketh", I simply say to myself "peace, be still" and start working calmly instead of playing the panic game. At the very least, I consider the best case scenario over the worst case scenario, and work on achieving the best thing possible.

You know, dealing with the up moments and down moments of life, I realize that they are just moments that we all have to ride with, and work on while we are in them and that whole group of moments is what we make them over all. So, how we deal with reality is as important as how we deal with all those moments in reality. If we deal with each one in a panic, then over all will be a panic. If we deal with each one calmly, over all will be calm. In short, reality is what we make it through moments and over all. Our choice. We decide how we eat it.

Every Dream Will Be Challenged

Since the release of the blockbuster movie, The Black Panther, the African American community is buzzing with excitement. People of color, who have been a victim of the "danger of a single story" (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie), are again laughing, cheering and applauding all that we know to be true about who we are. Confidence is returning, and a hope that this movie, in "Wakanda' style, will transform what it means to be black in America. It is a place where women of color are portrayed as brilliant, brave and beautiful. For 134 minutes, women of color were able to step out of the portrayals of weakness and were permitted to assimilate into the brave images playing before them. Black Panther may be seen as only a movie by the majority, however, for African-Americans, women especially, it was a vivid reminder of who we are.

There is no getting around the fact that the Black Panther movie was revolutionary. But every dream will be challenged. This was also evident in the movie.

Metaphysically, we all face the challenge of balancing our desire to live our dreams of success while working to conquer our fears and our failures. In the midst of a high-tech society, we have fallen victim to consumerism and instant gratification, and neither supply the inner power to guide us to the dreams we thirst to achieve.

Luckily, we come powered by a substance more powerful than Vibrarium. We come filled with Spiritual Power; a power that can never be destroyed, and is easily accessible through our "awakening" coupled with a stubborn unwillingness to give up.

Here are a few keys to living your dreams.

1. Make a Decision - decide what you want and why you want it. Once you know what you want and why you want it, start thinking about how you will feel having accomplished this. Using your five senses, 1) imagine what things are present; 2) what do you hear?; 3) where are you sitting and what is the temperature? 4) is food present? 5) do you smell any odors? Be certain this is what you want and not what someone else thinks you should have.

2. Be Up to The Possibilities - as you allow yourself to think about all the possibilities of how your life will change, various negative emotions, thoughts, and events will appear. Take the time to acknowledge your contribution to the negative event, forgive yourself and any others involved. Declare out loud "all lessons are learned, and blessings are received." Now move on.

3. Keep a Gratitude Journal - writing down what you are grateful for will keep your focused on what is going well in your life and not what is going badly. Be generous with your gratitude. Record the simple things not just the big things Being grateful for your health is wonderful, but so is being grateful for housing, food, water, internet, laughter, etc.

4. Create an Action Plan - write the steps you will need to take to achieve your goals. Also, write down ideas as to how you will overcome any obstacles you think you may face. Your Action Plan will keep you moving toward achieving your goals and ensure you have an action plan for any obstacles. This Action Plan should include goals you would like to accomplish.

5. Take 5 Specific Action Steps Every Day - take five specific actions every day that will bring you closer to your goal. Following this recommendation will help you accomplish more in a shorter period. Some examples are 1) send press releases; 2) write a column; 3) read and respond to email.
These steps will help you achieve your goals and overcome any challenges you may encounter.

Remember, life is too short to drink cheap champagne.
