Man, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true.
Napoleon Hill (my favourite author)
King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies
Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.
CarpeDiem: Seize the Day!

Cannot Be Done?
The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it.

Be on Higher Ground!
"If you desire certain traits, desire to maintain a certain character, then the only way to achieving this state of being is to be it through performing actions that coincide with that state.
If you wish to be just you must perform just actions, if you wish to be strong you must perform with strength. Too many of us spend time wondering 'why not?' without realizing that in those moments of contemplation we could very well be performing the very actions that would make us into what we believe we may not be.
To reach higher ground, simply lift another person up. We experience the lightest step when we relieve ourselves of the weight we choose to carry around with us."
-John Kanary
"If you would lift me up you must be on higher ground."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Sell Every Day
Everyday I gotta sell. And so do you.
Selling is not a comfortable activity for most human beings though. It's easier for most of us to find something else to do. Something that is more pleasurable. Or something that gives our brain the illusion of "real work", when we're really just wasting time.
The thing is, when you have to sell, you can and you do. The resistance you may have at times, is just that: resistance.
The trick to selling faster is to move beyond the resistance. Or to ignore the resistance.
Or to acknowledge the resistance, and take action anyway.
You see, any resistance you might have, is all just in your head. We all make things harder than they should be at times for ourselves (and that includes me). If someone were to put a gun to your head, and tell you to go make some bucks, right now, you'd do it.
Your brain would tap your self-preservation instinct, and motivated by your will to live (and the fear of death) you would overcome all other fears and excuses and you would just do it. You would produce.
So what are you waiting for? Today the weather is bad, but so what. Does that really matter? You can come up with lots of excuses. Ignore the excuses your brain comes up with or acknowledge them, if that helps you, and then get busy anyway.
Move towards what your afraid of, and then move through it, and finally move beyond and past it. You'll be amazed at how well you can do, and how good it feels.
Sell with pride, my friend. See you at the top!

Inverse ETF aka Bear ETF
Inverse ETF is an exchange-traded fund that is constructed by using various derivatives for the purpose of profiting from a decline in the value of an underlying benchmark or index. Investing in these ETFs is similar to holding various short positions, or using a combination of advanced investment strategies to profit from falling prices. They are also known as a "bear ETF".
One advantage is that these ETFs do not require the investor to hold a margin account as would be the case for investors looking to enter into short positions. There are several inverse ETFs that can be used to profit from declines in broad market indexes such as the Russell 2000 or the Nasdaq 100.
In addition, it is possible to buy inverse ETFs that focus on a specific sector such as financials, energy or consumer staples. Most investors look to purchase inverse ETFs so that they can hedge their portfolios against falling prices.
