OK so I thought I'd write all of my fellow Warriors a quick message concerning the power of our minds and hopefully clear a few things up for people who aren't feeling like they can be successful! You can be anything you want you just have to think you can!!

I'll begin by saying this, imagine you were going to take a car ride and you wanted to get somewhere across the country. Because I'm from England, I'll say you wanted to go from London (in the south) to Manchester (in the north). This could apply to anywhere in the world so just change the citys around to suit your perception of the story.

Now in order to get to Manchester, we are going to generally head north. It's dark so we can't see very far in front of the car. You will have to make decisions along the way that are going to affect the outcome of your journey. These decisions are governed by our "openness to opportunity" meaning, if you know where you want to go, then you'll be open to choosing the right path for your success.

Now because you have some sort of rough idea of where you want to go, the fact that you can't see very far in front of you is not important. I'll explain this metaphore out of context so you get the meaning of it. You have a goal, but you don't know how you're going to reach it, all you have are the decisions you make along the way!

If you are positive, and take in what some cases may seem like risks, you undoubtadly may go the wrong way, but if you are persistant enough, you will eventually get to Manchester. It really just depends on how badly you want it!

I hope this little story shows you, not only the benefits but also the necessity of staying positive.

I'll just finish off by saying, imagine you didn't even know you wanted to get to Manchester, you were just driving around in the dark. Would you get there?

Set Goals!!! Know you'll achieve them!!!!

Good Luck!!!
