How To Measure The "Size" Of A Person



Read More: Mindset

No, not the size of a person “physically”…the size of a person “mentally.”

How can you tell if someone is strong or weak, real or fake, of significance or insignificance??

There’s one way.....

The size of the person is revealed by the size of the problem that stops them.

Nowadays, MANY are getting stopped dead in their tracks and it is revealing MUCH about them. And there will be more casualties to come. Mark my words.

NO person is bigger than the size of the problem that stops them.

And you?

Have you been stopped by anything lately? What sends you to the Doctor with a sniffle? How much does it take to discourage you? Possibly the news about the recession, credit crisis or job losses has you down?

Well, it’s clear that it's "rained" out and many are running for cover as if their lives have been threatened...many are shrinking.

So here’s what Disney World decided to do not long ago…

They decided to have a “Rain Parade.”

When it was proposed, someone said: “what the hell is a rain parade?”

Answer – a parade that takes place when it rains so everybody happily runs around “in the rain” instead of unhappily cowering in doorways wasting their time here waiting for it to end.

Are you with me?

So what do you think about organizing a “Rain Parade” for you and your people right now? Because ya know what? It’s gonna rain a lot harder…

We each get to decide how strong or weak, real or fake, significant or insignificant we will be in the face of it all. Some people always take ownership of “ambition” while others take ownership of “victimhood”…

Which are you?

Great post! I agree the size of the person is thee most vital and deciding factor in who succeeds and who doesn't. Are success as individuals starts from within. It is when we decide enough is enough, things begin to change. We all all must walk our own path to success, no one can walk if for us. The good thing we don't have to walk it alone. We can not achieve our full potential until we become interdependent and less independent.

Reply to the Size

I liked it very much. It seems we all know that, but to think about it is crucial. The "Size" define the "Winners". Let's dance in the rain together!

I recently had the honor of

I recently had the honor of going through Bob Doyle's Laser Coaching Program and I am now following Bob Proctor's Science of Getting Rich Program. All these masters say the same thing and it's the same lesson I took away that Andrew is talking about. We create our own economy - if we think the economy is bad it will stay bad longer. This is because Thoughts Become Things - remember those three words - Thoughts Become Things. They will see you through your highs and lows. If you want to attract decent people to your business you have to go that extra mile, be a Leader and behave decently. There is a scientific formula to success - it can be found in a book now freely available on the Internet called The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles. It's the secret behind the film The Secret.

It reminds me of a recent episode of the Bachelorette. She didn't want to keep anyone that had not "loved and lost" yet. If they had not been dumped and been through the pain of life...

There is a certain truth that if you haven't been through it, you might not have the stamina to fight when it does happen. The measure of a man.

I'm with you Andrew! Mindset, manifest..magic
You can never rain on my parade.

Are you in Victory cycle or Victim cycle? Certainly it is more fun to surround yourself with people who are victorious.

There's a Chinese proverb

There's a Chinese proverb that says, "Your victories don't make you stronger - But overcoming your problems do!"

I hope we can make a thread here where you can share your problem and gets some advice. -GAR Labs
