I remember an old episode of The Simpsons that made me chuckle. 

Homer floods Springfield, and Bart's friend Milhouse (who was griping about his flood pants) opens his bedroom door. Water rushes in and he says:

"Hey, they're working! My feet are soaking but my cuffs are bone dry ... everything's coming up Milhouse!" 

That got me thinking about how people desperately want everything to go their way. 

They all want everything to be coming up (insert their name here), but that's just not realistic. 

Life will never be all sunshine, lollipops and rainbows - regardless how much you wish it was. 

The people who succeed are the ones who understand this, and who roll with the punches. 

This is why my favourite book is Thick Face, Black Heart by Chin-Ning Chu.  It's a very realistic look at the world, and I think so highly of it that I send a copy to every new Secret Coach Club subscriber. 

It's not a popular opinion to express in the coaching world, since so many coaches are all about the universe manifesting for them, but I'd rather take a realistic view of things. 

I don't consider myself pessimistic (rather, realistic) - and this approach passes over to the pages of every issue of Secret Coach Club. 

It's not ooey gooey, woo woo fluff - but if you want solid strategies to implement, you'll get them every month.
