Alfred A. Montapert once said "expect problems and eat them for breakfast", I saw this quote and because I have no clue of the context of the quote I was a little intrigued, but hey I am a bright girl and I have read most of the feel good, do good, dictionaries of success so I decided to take a bash at explaining it within my own life.
Quite frankly things do go wrong and no matter how prepared you think you are to deal with all issues in a positive way there are just some things you do not expect and I for one tend to take things very personally. On an emotional maturity scale I am going to give myself a four, although I am better now at letting things go, things that are ancient do pop up and ruin my day (every now and then).
So, one of the things I really enjoy doing is eating so when you using a metaphor that relates to something that means a lot to me I tend to take more notice.
Let me break this down some more (for my benefit mainly) "expect problems" we can never truly be prepared for everything so it's good advice if you are expecting some thing or other it can't creep up on you and scare the daylights out of you, to me this means DON'T BE A VICTIM, I am very big on people getting over themselves and NOT being a victim. Then "eat them for breakfast" because that is how they should be perceived, they are NOTHING in the bigger scheme of things, breakfast is the most essential meal of the day, so gobble up the problems and let them go. The piece of toast you had on your plate for breakfast is gone, it no longer has a purpose, the purpose was to ease your hunger once eaten it's gone, it's history.
This metaphor is appealing to me more and more...

To blog or not to blog? That is the question
Well I have been blogging on Yuwie this week in an attempt to raise my profile and try to earn some money online - it seemed like a good idea at the time.
I am raising £600 for some training I am undertaking, this is a big push for us so the only other alternative for me is to find another (2nd) job, I thought making money online would be easy but raising your profile enough to actually earn money is harder work than working.
The 2nd problem I have is that I already pay more than half my current salary on child-care and if I want to work in the evenings this is going to cost me even more, this is not because I am a single mom but because my husband commutes into London each day and I am lucky if he is home by 8pm.
The only other alternative is to sacrifice my Saturdays as Sundays I already volunteer at the Sunday school for our church. This is a vital part of the training I am undertaking and so this is not a sacrifice.
I have been studying the law of attraction from many sources, and let me tell you that if you think it's going to be easy to manifest all these blessings in your life you are wrong. But then like the training I am undertaking this change of thought and gratification for the small things is all worth while.
And hey I just broke the first rule of attraction - I have been writing in the negative, so I will have to rethink my view on another job on Saturdays and be gratefull that my hubby will be home to cover the child care, it's all a process and the key is staying on track.
In love
