Focusing on one thing doesn't mean the others would have been wrong choices.

There are many times when quitting is the smartest thing to do. If you're hitting your thumb with a hammer, don't try to do it better or more efficiently - stop hitting your thumb. Quit - look for a better alternative. Don't focus on the humiliation of quitting. See this as a go-up opportunity. Quitting the thing where you're just mediocre or that is making you miserable is not a humiliation - it's a brilliant decision to move to something better. It can free you up to move into your Zone of Genius.

A now former member of our Eagles community shared an experience where his "optimism" nearly set him up for a scam. It has been revealed to him that a positive mindset is dangerous and he wants no part of it. Clearly, I'm willing to risk what my optimistic thinking leads me to.

Questions:

1. Does positive thinking make you more vulnerable to being taken advantage of?
2. What should you do if you've failed to reach a goal?
3. What's your best next action if you've been fired from a job?
4. What are some steps to increase your positive thinking?

Seven Steps for Increasing your Positive Thinking

5. Set goals that excite and inspire you
