Live Like The Red Sox

My favorite team won The World Series in the same fashion they did three years ago. After losing the first three games, they had one more chance to keep their season alive in the playoffs. Most people had given up on them, fans included, even though they were in the exact same position the last time they were in the playoffs. I didn't give up because I knew if they could do it before they could do it again. And they went on to win the next seven games to take The World Series. It was almost surreal yet expected at the same time. Though, that last game was a real nail biter as they won 4-3.

What does The Red Sox winning The World Series have to do with Acquiring Abundance? They have a winning attitude that got them where they are. If we could just do the same with all our goals, who knows what we might accomplish. It's so easy to give up when the odds are against you. Take my online store for example. I've yet to make a sale--except to myself because I love my stuff--but I'm not giving up. Though it is tempting at times since I don't have anything to show for all the work I've put into my cards and designs, but I do feel that it's worth my time because I enjoy it. And I believe sending gratitude cards will help get positive energy moving in the right direction for me and anyone else who tries it. It is hard sometimes, but I keep thinking about The Red Sox, my hometown heroes. They don't care what others think of them. They only go out and do their best. I remember Manny Ramirez saying in an interview during the playoffs that if they didn't win, it was no big deal. People ripped him apart over that, but I do think it's the right attitude. If you think that your whole life is ruined because you fail at something, then you're just going to cave and not keep trying. Believe me, I've been there many times. If I can just relax and go with the flow while doing the best I can, I'll be okay. Most likely, better than okay.

We all have the power to be like The Red Sox. When things look bad, don't give up, yet don't think that you're a total failure if you lose a few along the way. Manny and the boys from Boston have so much fun doing what they love so they see great results. I want to live like The Red Sox.

Til next time, be prepared for the best.
