I have been doing a little bit of internet surfing on training.. Found some really cool stuff from the Moto X guys. I guess maybe I just think it is cool cause I like moto x but check out www.racerxvt.com/ Here is one thing I thought everone could use.. Life Events Shape Your Attitude? If you tend to be a negative person, you must first identify your poor habits and remove them from your life. Pay close attention to how you interpret events that surround you. Your attitude is formed by how you interpret different situations in life. By paying close attention to how you process the information around you, you will be able to identify whether you are a positive person or a negative one. When a difficult situation presents itself, do you look at the situation as a pessimist or an optimist? Do you see the opportunity as a chance to fail or to succeed? Your attitude is shaped by the way you perceive reality and ultimately your attitude is made up of your thoughts and feelings. Since your thoughts ultimately control your actions, the thoughts that you fill your head with are very important. Usually in life the quick easy way will give you instant gratification that fades quickly, while hard work and dedication have no immediate gratification but will lead to lasting success in the future. If you think negatively towards training and give into instant gratification, you are letting your negative thoughts control your actions. Instant gratification is a sign of a week attitude. If you condition your mind to remain positive, your actions will lead you down the path towards success. A positive attitude is not simply developed by waking up one day and saying, "today I am going to be positive." Although your brain is not a muscle it acts like one in the sense that it must be conditioned over time to accept positive thoughts over negative ones. Developing positive thoughts requires a great deal of energy and time and will require you to live the lifestyle an athlete. Training, diet, riding and all of the other ingredients necessary to become a successful rider (or person for that matter) must be part of your daily life. You have to live the life of a champion to become a champion. I believe this applies to the guy fighting for a factory ride, right down to the weekend warrior. If you condition your mind on a daily basis like you do the rest of your body, eventually the positive thought process will become natural. A strong, positive attitude will replace the weak, negative one. But in order for this to happen, you have to be willing to make the commitment and work every day on your attitude. So off to work I go! See you on the water!

at Wednesday, 31 December 1969 13:33by Jeff Thank you for posting this. A few years ago, a mail order windsurfing company included a blue piece of paper with a quote from Charles Swindoll, which ended ""I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes."" Unfortunately, many people who are reacting negatively to life's ups and downs are doing so out of unconscious habits, and are often not even aware of their negative patterns and attitude. For these people, it takes dedicated awareness of your thoughts and habits. One effective technique is called CBT, or Cognitive Behavior Therapy. My girlfriend works at the Columbia Psychology Dept., and says CBT is often more effectiv
