I recently wrote this article - and thought it might be useful - (This is my second attempt to post this - so I hope I am doing it correctly!

Have you ever watched the program - `Pawn Stars`? If you have, you may have noticed that those folks bring their individual l prize to a pawn shop, and they are immediately asked if they want to `pawn` or `sell` the item.
Watch closely - and you will see that the great majority will answer - very tentatively -
and you can almost see their lips shiver as they name a price -
The price they name is spoken so meekly - that it all but invites the pawn shop operator to name a much lower price -
and, from there they settle on a price .
The interesting part to me is that the meekness which is so frequently- exhibited, as described above - is the way so many of us go through life: Meekly accepting the life's cards as they are dealt to us - and hoping against hope that somehow things will get better.
Let me suggest something to you:
- Throw out that meekness as you face life
- Don't accept anything you don't want
Does that sound too unsophisticated to you? Do you know that there is - as you read this - a great - truly humongous - wave sweeping across the nation -
INDEED, THE WORLD - that the rediscovery of the power of the mind - is the key to our life.. If that sounds too simplistic - remember the picture above of the person who walks into a pawn shop - and meekly, so very meekly in most cases - names a price for their treasure - and you can tell that it is far less than they really want - BUT ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT ALMOST ANYTHING
Suppose you were to change that mental attitude - and instead of meekly asking for a small price -
DEMANDING A FAIR PRICE -
What do you think would happen?
I think we both know -
The self-esteem of the person would zoom - and the chances of getting a far better price - would also zoom
How about if we went through life like that ??
Not meekly accepting what seems to be our lot - but instead DEMANDING MORE Your life will change once you REDISCOVER THE SECRET TO LIFE - Live Boldly....
