Problem Solving - A Mental Reverse Clause
"Indeed, no one can thwart the purpose of your mind - for they can´t be touched by fire, steel, tyranny, slander or anything" - Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 8.41
Life is full of obstacles, as is our journey as digital entrepreneurs, digital marketers and online business owners. Things happen, situations go not a planned and stuff generally gets in our way.
Your mindset is crucial to handle these turning and twisting of the road you travel. Your mind has the capability to provide you with a backup plan, "a reverse clause", as the Stoic philosophers call it.
When someone disappoints us or betray us, a close friend, some of your family or anyone for that matter, the reverse clause is to forgive, learn from what's happened and move on.
If our computer suddenly gets in a bad mood and shuts down in the middle of your draft for your next blog post, and you haven´t saved your draft. Don't worry, start once again and start saving your work more often, and in the doing, you have gotten a bit better at what you do.
The progress we have in everything we do in life, also in our quest for success in affiliate marketing, can and will be disrupted or impeded more than once, during your journey.
Your mindset is the key to navigate life´s uncharted waters. Your mind can be changed - it has the power to redirect the path you are on.
I am coming back again to Bruce Lee´s awesome statement:
"Be Water, my friend!"
Murphy's Law states that "If anything can go wrong, it will". The reverse clause to this is following Bruce Lee´s teaching, and adjust the path you are on accordingly. It is not the end of the world.
I have had a bad nights sleep and have barely slept for 3 hours, and feeling exhausted. Nevertheless, I am in the middle of my morning routine, feeling energized by my meditation and affirmations. Now I am enjoying writing this blog post, and will shortly check in on my email list and my emails. I got a new sign-up to my email list this morning😃.
Today I am going to rock the world!!

AC⚡DC is great. I have had the opportunity to attend the last two world tours that visited Oslo.
Only one word covers the experience: Awesome!😎

Great problem solving there Roy. If you did not mention it, we would not even know you had a bad night's sleep.
Good day to you.

Thank you, Nicole. The energy levels are on the rise, and my "muddy" mind in the morning has cleared. I am ready to take on the world.
I have one blog post for one of my website which is due for finalisation and publishing :-)
Roy
So sorry your night wasn't good as others
Hoping you will continue to be refreshed throughout the day
My energy levels are on the rise, Simone. Taking time to let the body and mind get started has worked out well.
Energy meditation, fresh air and making sure of not rushing anything in the morning do wonders :-)
