📸 Photo caption: Name the setback and someone will name the prevailing action

Hello everybody and welcome to another blogpost from Online Marketing 4 Life. Things have been a little hectic around here with the new puppy. He is a bit out of control and loves to play but that's what puppies do. He has a crazy appetite and really goes bonkers for food. My wife says it is like giving birth to her fourth child. All in all things are very well. As for my online business...well that's another story...haha. I joined a 12-month training program with Bob Proctor as well as a coaching program with Tony Robbins to become a certified life coach. So there is no lack for education and learning new things at this point. I'm really excited for what the future holds. It seems to be coming into focus...well this week anyway.

Alright so let's take a look at this week's title...Triumph over Tragedy. There can be many interpretations to this heading and I'll share a few to help you along the way. When it comes to our livelihoods there is just a wide array of ups and downs. Just like the seasons and the weather. We have hot but also cold, dry and rain, sunny and snow...I believe you get the point. In other words, we're going to have extremes from both ends in our lives. The objective for us is to be happy as well as prosperous in every situation as best we can. We don't want to use exterior elements as an excuse for our misfortune in life. Allow me to provide a few examples.

Affiliate marketing over Negative perception

Many of you have been doing online marketing and specifically, affiliate marketing and for some over a year. The concept is very simple but the results are not easy. Some have tried over and over using the same execution strategies they were taught but have failed to make any serious income. There can be many variables at play here. Doubt and fear are killers when it comes to growing a business and trying to achieve prosperity. We must condition ourselves to think differently and also positivity to overcome any negative thoughts. Lack of knowledge may be a bit of a setback but we need to receive formal education before we start making full time sales. As a whole our negative perception needs to change and it needs to be replaced by optimism and positive forward thinking. It doesn't happen overnight but it can happen sooner than later with practice and implementation.

Health over Illness

There is no mistake that positive people experience better physical and mental health than those with a negative outlook on life. One of the primary reasons is stress and anxiety. Those that lack stress and anxiety are not putting pressure upon themselves and have better immune systems as well as healthy mindsets. Although outside factors can play a role for the most part in our day to day lives, those that are physically healthy and mentally sound are sick less and for a lessor amount of time. Going to a chiropractor for example can make a world of difference not only to your spine but to your physical health. The same can be said of your mindset. A healthy mind provides a healthy body. The overall point is that our minds and bodies are interwoven and work together not independently.

Marriage over Divorce

We all know of marriages that have ended in divorce. Quite frankly, those that did may have been a blessing. I'm not here to condemn but to provide some insight that may make your life better. For instance, if you had a healthy marriage it would certainly spread into other areas of your life including your business. In some examples marriages on the rocks can be repaired by just one party. If someone was having marital issues and they decided to change and become not only a better person but a better spouse, in time you would see a positive change in the other spouse. Just because someone is unwilling to change doesn't mean that you can't change. When we have a healthy mindset it can in some instances strengthen or repair a marital bond.

Friend over Enemy

This is yet another example of triumph over tragedy. We can avoid the creation of enemies by not allowing it to reach that point. If someone insults you or does something to offend you there are a few options you have. The one I would suggest is not to even let it phase you. Seems easier said than done I know but not when you have a strong and healthy mindset. If you don't allow other people, things, events, weather, circumstances etc. to bother you than the situation will not develop into being contentious. The point here is you and only you are in control of your emotions. Nobody else can make you happy or angry but you certainly can.

Hired over Fired

When I was fired after 25 years in the insurance business I initially blamed everybody but myself. Regardless of who was right or wrong doesn't matter. What was important was how I responded to being fired. It is not what happens to you it is how you react to such circumstances. This is personal development at its best. Whether you know it or not, you will fail your way to success. It is easy to say now but agonizing when you fail over and over. Getting fired was humiliating to me...then...but now I'm truly a better individual for it. As a matter of fact, it was because of my termination that made me mentally strong and with a better and healthy mindset.

Acceptance over Demise

This can be a touchy subject if we allow it to be. Death is never fun nor is it easy. We have all experienced death to some extent and some are more tragic than others. Like every other misfortune it comes down to our response and reaction. Loosing a spouse, parent, child or friend can be heart wrenching. However, it can also be uplifting depending on your mindset as well as your Faith. Having a good attitude is important but having a positive perspective is critical. There's not too many people staying awake at night wondering how they won the lottery. The sleepless nights come from angst, sorrow and grief especially the death of a loved one. However, there are millions of people that use the death of someone dear to them to help them overcome life's difficulties. So instead of creating more troubles, some folks use the death of one to propel them through trials and tribulations of life.

Well there you have it folks, another blogpost and another successful week. My intention was not to bring sadness or trouble with this post but to bring opportunity. The intent is to help you all with affiliate marketing but at the same time help you with life. Having stronger qualities both mentally and physically will not only provide you with a better online business but with a better quality of life. Sure it takes practice but wouldn't you rather be more mentally sound and physically strong? Having a healthy mindset and positive perspective is no harder than showering every day and eating a balanced diet. The point is that it can be done and I believe in you. However, do you believe in yourself?
