Day 20 - Sometimes, it's your mindset

Emily and I had a conversation during our accounting class that really struck me.  Accounting is one of my least favorite subjects in the world.  I disliked the subject since undergrad and I it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Last trimester, I tried to take accounting and economics at the same time.  I'm pretty sure I could have done it, but, for some reason, anything that was discussed never stuck or clicked in my brain.  I just did not want to be there, so I dropped it.  Taking econ and accounting was a little too much for me at the time.

This time around, I came in with a much more positive attitude.  I still dislike the subject, but found that I am really retaining and understanding this material much more effectively than before.

"This isn't so bad... You can do this"

So, I guess it's all a mindset.  I really do believe that anyone can accomplish anything much more effectively, if they try to have a positive attitude about it.  You don't have to like it, but getting down on yourself about it will just hinder your ability to overcome the situation and, ultimately, become successful.

I know it's harder than it sounds and it takes a level of dedication, for sure...  Believing in yourself is definitely a great first step.  Take things slow and try not to let the situation overwhelm you.  At least, that's my advice...

Anyway, I'm done reading my Marketing :) I surprisingly blew right through it all...  See you tomorrow.
