Think outside the box!

We are all guilty, as humans, of getting trapped in our little box, and we have a hard time letting go of how we were raised, what our culture was and even what our religion dictates to our every move in life.
Must we go through life in such a limited way of thinking? I like the saying "A parachute works best, when it is open." How can the parachute work, if you never open it up. Do you want it to save your life, when you get to earth?
Consider the fly trapped in a room. The fly desperately bangs against the window trying to get free. His struggle is vigorous but futile, and he eventually dies. Why? It seems that the fly simply looked around, he would have noticed that just across the room was an open door~~ within a few seconds of flying, he could have been free.
That's pretty close to the first analogy. Correct?

Many whiners behave like the fly. They try harder and harder with the wrong strategy. They find either an excuse to keep doing what they're doing or they find an excuse to QUIT!

Here's a great question:
Which is more important: the power of belief or the power of persistence?

Keith Cameron Smith shares in his book, THE TOP 10 DISTINCTIONS BETWEEN WINNERS AND WHINERS:
How would you answer that question? Well, would your response be that belief is more important than persistence? Belief creates persistence. It can be a challenging thing to persevere, especially when we 're faced with failure, rejection or loss, but belief gives us the confidence we need to persist in the face of those unexpected barriers.
Henry Ford once said, "If you think you can or you think you can't, you're right!" It's a deeper truth than most people realize.
WHINERS continue to find excuses for two reasons. First, because things get tough. Second, because they don't believe they can prevail.

Find a way and believe there is a way! Whiners find an excuse because they don't believe they can succeed.
