*Before I even get started, I promised Sam I would post a link to her blog post which talks about helping people with Asperger’s .
There you go, Sam!
_____________________ My Post for Today ____________________
Growing up (and even now) I have always found myself attracted to the underdogs.I rooted for the team from the smaller school; I rooted for the hero who was battling other things beside what he/she was mainly fighting; I even rooted for the superheroes who were underdogs:
Spiderman – never could seem to get the girl or the good job, Batman – lost both parents to criminals, and Daredevil – blind.
I just look at things and see that I appreciated those who had uphill battles to win.
Here’s the thing: visualization is a reality; what you think about most comes to pass. I had always “believed” that, if you had to fight an uphill battle, then the victory was, not only sweeter, but assured. Life, I am finding out, doesn’t always play that way. I have managed to create myself as a person who is always fighting an uphill battle. This is not a complaint; I am happy with my life; I wouldn’t trade it for a million dollars (maybe five million…). However, it has now occurred to me that, perhaps, I should start focusing on success rather than the how of getting there.
This is 1 of 6, they are all listed at the end.
I should not have to achieve everything in life by climbing, tooth and nail, to whatever level I choose to achieve in life. So, the obvious thing is to, simply, change the way I view things. Not so simple, actually, to change a lifetime of thinking patterns. Yet, I see that it has to change if I am to succeed more quickly and be in tune with my new attitude.
The purpose of this is not to quit thinking about the underdogs; they will always exist and serve as a reminder that being handicapped in one way or another does not mean you can’t succeed; in fact, you can and it will be sweet.
What it means is that, if you wish to succeed, do your best and focus on thinking that you are special; you are successful; and that you can do well without having to fight from the bottom of the pile.
Just a thought…of course, a thought is the most powerful bit of creation in the world. Nothing, man-made, exists that was not, once, just a thought.
Remember that! (and, um, think on it!)
Namaste,
Scott

Yes, that would be good. I sent a story to the email addy on your site.
If it’s not going to work, email me back or on here and I will figure out another one.

I love how spirit speaks through you and tells me Exactly what I need to hear. I have ALWAYS routed for the underdog. I have always tried to help and nurture the underdog. Now I realize I see myself as an underdog. I don’t want to be a top dog, but just a dog would be nice. 🙂

I would say you are welcome, but this is just a sharing with you as you have shared your life with me.
We are all in this same sea of trying. As I told my students, trying is not the answer, doing is the answer.
Try to pick up a pencil (you can’t try; you either pick it up or you don’t). Focus on success.
