Problems or Opportunities?

Is that IQ or EQ or both? I love an attitude of gratitude and keeping a gratitude journal, but, after keeping one, I found that I enjoy more, pausing, taking a deep breath, and looking around me to see the blessings throughout my day. In the morning, as I wake, I like to stretch and be thankful for the morning.

Creating is energizing, and the enthusiasm it breeds is contagious. So are smiles. Laughter and seeing the humor in a situation helps break the tension (even if it means stretching it in a bizarre twist like Far Side). Going to the card section and reading the humor cards is a great quick lift. Sunlight, soft music, a brisk walk, there are lots of ways to raise your spirits to face challenges, to deal with the stress, but, I think the best way to feel better is to move the focus beyond yourself and find ways to help others.

If everything was wonderful, we would just take it for granted rather than appreciate it's blessing when things are good. Overcoming the challenges is what makes the victory so sweet. Sometimes, we have to feel dissatisfaction and pain in order to grow in a different direction. Sometimes we have to work through the stages of grief brought on by unexpected change to learn important lessons. Of course knowing that and getting through it are two different things.

I agree that learning and growing are important, but at some points in dealing with crisis, you also need to pause, take in stillness, be in the moment, and calm the turmoil. There has to be a balance - not a flat line. The highs and lows of life are what make the journey the real experience.

Is it possible, that disaster or hunger in some situations could be replaced by SPORTS?

The problem becomes opportunity because it presses us out of the comfort-zone.
We find the upside-aspects of the new situation, and then play that game conciously.

The answers to question 3 in "Think big and kick ass" (Which statement best describes your financial situation?) could maybe sound like:

a
No emergency with where i am financially.
Pressure on Courage and Unusual strengths: 0%

b
To some extent no emergency with where I am financially.
Pressure on Courage and Unusual strengths: 33%

c
There is emergency with where i am financially, but i feel hopeless.
Pressure on Courage and Unusual strengths: 67%

d
My financial situation is a complete emergency. i want much more.
Pressure on Courage and Unusual strengths: 100%

To you Trump and to your terrific family of "Trump Cards" We say you shall keep your winning hand and continue to Trump the negative chumps.

Your intelligent and beautiful daughter Ivanka is going to be on "Live with Regis and Kelly" next Tuesday October 13, 2009, with your good friend Regis and his lovely "Wonder-Mom" co-host, Kelly. We cannot wait.

We agree with you 100%. And those writing technique exercises are great. Crises can make a person a champion. The only difference between a chunk of coal and an expensive diamond, is the pressure endured. The coal could not endure the pressure. The diamond did. Game plans before a known situation happens, and after a situation happens, to prepare for its return, is the best strategy. A person can have a winning game plan before a "surprise" situation or crisis happens by living consistently courageously, confidently, friendly, calmly, alertly and being spontaneously opportunistic. A person should, as much as possible, always put his or her self in prosperous environments with intelligent, successful people so that the "surprise" situations will have his or her focused attention, and the right outcome will be worth the effort.

Trump, what I find is that some people refuse to take responsibility for a situation if it was bad and they give their power away with an excuse for that bad situation, like: " I was smashed, I was loaded, it was not my job, or so-and-so caused me do it." Therefore they do not learn from the experiences, the bad experiences continue to repeat themselves, and the person continues to remain powerless. There is nothing so bad as a good excuse, especially to yourself.

Trump, We are not talking about violent criminal acts such as rape, domestic violence, etc.. Ladies, those are not your fault! Do not let them continue! When We say a person should take responsibility for a bad situation, We mean exactly that. Take responsibility within yourself for bad business decisions and let the loving God in you handle it and reveal to you how to turn the negatives into positives, because God does love you whether you believe or not. There is no perfect person on this planet.

You do not have to confess to a priest, or repent to a rabbi, or anyone. In you is the Presence of the Loving God. Tell Him. If you have a trusted person, in any profession, that you want to confer with, then do so, but within you are the answers. An entrepreneur is a doer. Entrepreneurs accomplish their dreams by dealing positively with crises and being responsible for the good and bad situations brought about by their decisions. As Nike’s slogan says: "Just do it."


Sincerely, your friend and "Revolutionary Entrepreneur"

Life is what you make out of it. If you consider everything to be a problem, then it's going to be hard. If you consider everything to be a challenge/opportunity then you'll be a winner.

The news are nowadays full of the news about accidents and crisis and chatastrophes.

It is good to everyone to spend some quiet time during the work day or after the busy day to get your mind in balance and you can start again something new and productive.

A long walking trip or just a moment alone in a quiet place will do that. I have got my mind in balance also when I have been reading these good advices from Mr Donald Trump. The articles are full of sense and everyone can make them to come true in own life. Almost everyday I go for a long walking trip, even if I have much work to do, you have to organize your day by yourself too, do something that you really like in every day.

I will try to solve the problem and get the opportunity.

p.s. I am sorry for what had happened.I still wish you could save my life.Thank you.I must carry out my promise and love Americans.I wish I could become an American,too.

This is where man is tested most.in a disaster situation.it is true that a door closed is so you can re evalueate the side you were on or the other side is where to look next.these disasters will never stop,fact they are going to increase steadly.we are in a world epidemic now in warfare and we can control that .nature is non affected to our needs.if i could play god for one year and all bad things stopped next week i would remove every nuclear device and presence and ban it for ever.it is death following it.if i could be granted three wishes they would be paradise restored,god lives with us and evil is gone forever.however i am a simple man whose dreams really arent felt by others.Don,i failed your trump challenge[74]because i devalued money for fun.this is of course why we have business.in reality i passed.god is going to prevail.trust in that.nice post,hope some use your ideas for their posterity.love ya brother.dana hoecker drhoecker@hotmail.com

The primary cause of suffering is ignorance.
Hatred, anger, attachment and craving are poisonous, first to the mind and then to the body.
Through knowledge and understanding disturbing emotions lose their power to distract the mind which causes harmful actions.
"Every action has a reaction," and actions taken by others can have an effect on large numbers of individuals with or without their knowledge.
There are many things that happen in the Universe that humans have no control over. Yet I have more faith in the "natural laws of the Universe" than I have in manmade laws. History has proven that laws are changed or ignored when great civilizations focus on the interests of people in a position to benefit the most from the changes even if it isn't in the best interests of humanity as a whole.
Religions have tried to place moral conduct as a way of determining right from wrong. So I must question, "When is it right to use a weapon to kill groups of people that don't agree with their beliefs or collective thinking?" Do Catholics get to kill people while defending their country, but not kill anyone who steals from them, harms their family or threatens to kill them if they don't stop practicing their religion? It seems very convenient to honor one and not the other.
Being grateful everyday for kindness, enduring love, and opportunities to experience self-fullfillment are the most worthy ideals of civilized people. Yet, everyday more and more freedom is being taken
away by the very same people who claim to value freedom.
And changing your environment won't help as long as humans stay earthbound. There is no country in the world that hasn't experienced the agony of war. Yet countries continue to engage in hurtful retaliation for transgressions produced in the past. How can we expect a better future while engaging in a well known destructive solution?
Blaming God or any other power for our "ignorance" won't change our actions. Mankind alone is responsible for our quality of life here on earth. For better or worse, our decisions in the present based on the belief of "free will" determines the amount of happiness or lack of it we collectively enjoy. Plants, animals, other galaxies or stars don't have "free will." And none of them are contributing to our potential demise.

Mr Trump,
I have a patent pending financial model that will revolutionize debt structure, help all families with health care and essential services (utilities, telecom etc) by reducing monthly debt and creating wealth.
My issue, and why this isnt main stream yet is, I am running into road blocks in bringin this to market as with the financial times we are currently in, no one wants to do anything outside of what is already being done, and we all know that is not how business grows doing the same thing. Nothing ever gets brought into market from a fear based mentality and everyone I have presented this to LOVES it but everyone is scared of doing anything new??? I am confused but know for a fact that the right partner can help this become reality.
If you happen to read this, or someone does who can get this to you, I have many case studies on this product that, I am positive, you will find more than interesting. In addition, I have the financial calculators and spreadhseets to prove this really works and I am happy to go into detail the entire process.

Please feel free to contact me for details and information that I am more than happy to send to you.

Sincerely

David S

Good Day, Mr. Trump & Trump University,

Wow! This post has helped me immensely. It has changed my attitude from a poor, negative one into one with increased assertiveness, self confidence, and persistence. (I'm speaking specifically of the Wellness Technique in the 3rd paragraph).
I've only been using this technique since I received the e-mail, and I definitely feel a more positive expectancy of life events. I feel like a renewed person;my depression lasted a good 10+yrs, and is alleviating.
In addition, I was able to solve a lifelong problem (well,since college) that has always perplexed me.
In my psychology background, I've had psychotherapist for 2 1/2 years straight, 4 years straight of group therapy (5 days a week, 6 hours a day), exercising for mental/health benefits to improve my psychology, general physician's advice , psychiatrists to dispense medicine for me, wrote down 400 things to improve my situation (none worked effectively enough), specific illness therapy, support group, self-help and wellness books/tapes . and so on, with no change.
It could always be a combination of things, but I think that the passage in the e-mail is the main component for me that's allowed me to get out of bed with a positive attitude and apply for jobs locally.
Thank you Mr. Donald Trump for your generosity in sharing your insight and knowledge.
I'm not 100%well yet, but each day I'm eager to read my e-mail (which I'll save) and apply it well.

Kind Regards,
Robert (last name wittheld for privacy purposes)
P.S. Best to Trump University and Family

Thanks again!
