When you feel like it is hard or too difficult...
Remind yourself that you are probably asking for more than is required.
Find a price that seems so obvious to reach for, and aim for it.
If you can't locate or determine that, sit still.
This will correct 80% of your troubles.
Imagine you were Muhammad Ali in your boxing prime. You are walking out of the ring, after a flawless victory...
and a member of the viewing audience cries out to him and says, "so and so can knock you out, or such and such is a better trainer".
Would Ali see these sentiments as defeating or would he recognize ignorance and laugh it off?
Exactly... do likewise.
