Imagine driving down the road. You are driving with a great amount of anticipation Wholesale NBA Basketball Jerseys , on your way to an important destination, a place you have always wanted to go.
Now notice that on either side of the road there is a ditch big enough to swallow your car.
Now imagine what your journey would be like if you kept your eyes only on the ditch. Perhaps you glanced at the road every few miles, but mostly your eyes are focused on he ditch. It's likely that you would end up in the ditch and not make it to your destination.
Silly way to drive, huh? Then why do we live that way? It sure seems that is what many of us do when we start out to achieve important goals.
Ditch thinking
I call thinking this way ditch thinking. Focus on the ditch long enough Wholesale Basketball Jerseys , and you will wind up in the ditch, wondering how you got there.
Today let's look at some signs and symptoms of ditch thinking, and then how to get out of the ditch and into destination thinking.
How to Do Ditch Thinking
Focusing only on everything that could go wrong. While it's important and valuable to think ahead and anticipate what problems might lie ahead, it's foolish to focus only on the obstacles.
Complaining about the ditch. ?Look at that ditch! It just shouldn't be there.? ?It's just too big not to notice it.? ?I just can't drive with that ditch over there.?
Instead of the old biting off more than you can chew Wholesale Nike NBA Jerseys , it's thinking about more than you can chew. ?Wow, I bet that ditch will be there the whole entire trip. I wonder if the road will get smaller and the ditch get bigger??
Procrastinate. Put it off. CONvince yourself that you really will do it later.
Making excuses for yourself. To rationalize really means to believe rational lies.
Making problems obstacles instead of challenges. I've never pursued a goal that didn't have it's share of challenges. If you turn them into obstacles you are blocked. A challenge is simply that: a challenge to see if you really mean it when you say you want to achieve something.
Blaming others.
Here are seven words guaranteed to drive you into the ditch, ?we've always done it that way before.?
Listening to and then believing all the naysayers who say it's impossible, you can't do it. Remember that at one time it was considered impossible to fly Wholesale New NBA Jerseys , communicate by phone, fax or email, etc. etc. In each case, and in so many more Wholesale Authentic NBA Jerseys , someone chose to not believe in the impossibility.
How to Do Destination Thinking
Begin. Simply begin.
Celebrate your progress. It builds momentum.
Break the journey down into small enough parts to make it manageable.
Focus on where you want to go.
Be creative. Creativity is simply the ability to look at something that has always been there and seeing something that has never been seen before.
Remind yourself regularly, even daily, about why you are pursuing this destination. An important enough why makes the how a whole lot easier.
Enjoying the trip. Even if it's only the satisfaction of hard work, finding ways to enjoy the trip keeps you going.
Focus on what you will be able to do Wholesale NBA Jerseys Cheap , that you can't do now, when you achieve the goal.
Asking the question, ?In how many ways can I accomplish want I want and enjoy the trip??
Follow ditch thinking and you end up in the ditch. Follow destination thinking and you are much more likely to arrive at your destination.
It really can be that simple.
The news could come as a surprise to many as a falling base rate this year would mean that remortgaging to a tracker mortgage rate could mean a lower rate for home owners in the future, suggesting that some borrowers may not fully be aware of the best options available to them.
A total of 31 per cent of home owners said they would choose from a two Wholesale NBA Jerseys Online , three, five, ten or 15-year fixed rate. An astounding 58 per cent of home owners however said they would not be sure what rate to choose or what plan to take should they be forced to remortgage immediately.

The research, conducted by Abbey Mortgages’ monthly Re-mortgage Tracker, found that ten year fixes were just as popular as five year fixes when people were asked what plan they would choose if remortgaging their home tomorrow. The research found that 2.4 million people, or seven per cent of home owners Wholesale NBA Jerseys China , would decide to go with a ten year fixed rate mortgage, while 1.8 million people or six per cent of borrowers, would choose to refinance for a fifteen year mortgage tomorrow. Two-year fixed rate mortgages remain the most popular however with 2.7 million people or eight per cent of the population, saying they would choose this option.
Demand for longer-term fixed rate mortgages continues to increase however as both ten- and 15-year fixed rate mortgages are almost as popular as two-year fixed rates at just one and two per cent respectively behind the most popular two-year fixed rate deal.
According to Abbey Mortgages Wholesale NBA Jerseys , concern over the economy could have had a serious impact on borrowers’ choices as they opted for the safer options or were not sure what path to take.
