The A+ Addiction!

About this ebook
Let your imagination roam and envision all of the fulfillments that accompany it. If you think broad enough it will seem to be something out of this world…or it should. Now see yourself consistently living in this imaginative world every day, except it is real. You should know you were conceived to live desirable days only limited by you. Regardless of whether you were taught it, or whether you currently see it or fully believe it, every day should be living utopia. Situations do not determine your outlook. Your outlook shapes the situations.
In life, you are classified as being a winner or loser, or a have or have not. Did you know, you can be both instead of either or? You can be a winner by losing what is hindering you from winning, and you can be a have by refusing to not have a bond with what has kept you restrained. This writing is designed to get you to believe in being the ultimate winner and loser, the ultimate have and have not, and staying attached to it. It pushes you to examine who and where you are today and work to be whom and where you are to be. Once you allow yourself to see it mentally you can chart the route that will bring it to life like a cartoon being brought to the big screen. Your primary objective is to open up to know why this should be you. Embrace your Empowering and Emerge Empowered!

Foreword
Having the A+ Addiction! is literally living a life not bound by the rules of thinking, living, and being as everybody else does. It is continually thinking on such a high that seems inhuman and is confusing to the average, living an abundant life, loving every second of it, and seeing yourself in the royal light you are supposed to. It is living life on an edge; daring yourself to be different and therefore pushing yourself to those outer limits. It is being comfortable with being unlike the masses and confident that you do not have to conform to them. Many of them are comfortable sitting idle while your world keeps churning out greatness. To have the A+ Addiction! means wholeheartedly knowing it takes work and consistency to be the grandiose of all men .... but with a humble heart. As an A+ Addict, you are not better than, you just know how to live life and not let life live you. What you have done is chosen to be one in a few who defy the odds. Fish all live in the same waters, but some live longer and grow larger. What is it that causes the larger and longer living to become larger and longer living over the others? Perhaps, it is a stance to say I am designed to do more and to be more. You can do the same. You just have to realize it and chase after it every day!
Introddiction
Every segment of your life is stimulated or stymied due to your mental aptitude. The less you think you can expand, the more likely you will not. The more you know you can expand, the less likely you will believe anything less than. No one has a right to tell you what you cannot do. No one can place a cap on your dreams and wants out of life. No one can keep you from seeing the greener pastures you have sought for years. No one has that power from the outside, but that power is resonated from the inside. For within you is the power to thwart and deny or to receive and live. To receive and live is the A+ Addiction!.
To have never experienced blindness, eyesight is a blessing. You are fortunate to get to see sunrises and sets, trees, and people. As much good as eyesight is, it is also not so good. It is a hindrance. Eyesight only gives the ability to see right now. However, what you need is vision. Vision allows you to see beyond what is now to what will be, to what you will create. When you set your sights on what you will be, you heighten your chance of seeing and achieving. Drive is sparked and vision is incited. With deploying vision, it impels you to have the courage to essentially see into the future and speak that future today. The challenge is to see what you do not currently see as if it is already present. Once it has occurred, you then live what you said.
The A+ Addiction! is more than a mindset carried every day. It is living a life of confidence and positivity with the actions to accompany it. It takes concerted effort daily. Just like anything you get attached to and hooked on, you hold on to this addiction and persist to keep it. You want to preserve it. You can either be a slave to negative thoughts and works or make your A+ Addiction! work for you. As servant to the negative, one’s thoughts, words, outlooks, company, demeanor, mannerism, and consumptions are all fueled by negativity. Nonetheless, the A+ Addict does not buy into that concept. Though life may present its challenges, for an A+ Addict, forward progress will be made and negativity will be decreased by understanding that challenges are merely opportunities to demonstrate how overzealous you are.
In school, the grade of A+ seemed to be for only those individuals. You knew if you were smart enough or not for those grades. The A+ was the measure of superb, virtuously, flawless work. The unhidden secret to this A+ for a student was nothing more than dedication and hard work. It was the bar of resplendence; the reason dedication was magnified, and hard work intensified. This is where you want to be.
You want your life to be a mountainous experience whether the day presents mountaintops or valleys. Living life on this level is what the A+ Addiction! is. This concept forces you to want the achievement of an A+ grade coupled with addiction to create a consistent hunger. If opposites attract, then achievement and addiction need to be married with no prenuptial nor should separation be allowed. Therefore, dedication, hard work, drive, and consistency are elements to make you A+ Ready.
Unlike all A’s in school, the A+ Addiction! is achievable to all who fully believe in himself. No one is exempt or disqualified. You do not have to be the smartest. What you need to do is to be the most consistent. Drive and consistency not only equal the A+ Addiction!, but they also depict the upper echelon with addiction that generally depicts a lower standard of living. You will work to make the A+ in school, work overtime for extra money, and work to look flawless before leaving home, but you lapse with your futures, get lazy on your destiny, and get lax with self-building. How do you put so much work in other areas yet halt or quit where it matters most? The same amount of drive and consistency needs to be placed into your self-empowerment.
Life is not a fairytale. It does not matter how good you look or how horrid your stories, there will not be a princess with outstretched arms or a prince charming to scoop you off of your feet and give you the life you thought but did not quite know existed. Because of this, you have to know nothing worthwhile and lasting is mystical. It takes a mindset built and an undeniable work ethic to be there. That means getting up when you would rather sleep, staying up when
