In the mandatory life class of Ultimate Success there are only two grades: Pass and Fail.The individuals who fail Ultimate Success are the ones who get sucked into negativity funnels A "Neg-Funnel" occurs when someone gets aggravated about a situation or single aspect of their life and allows that one instance or event to suck all the other areas of their life down into the "Neg-Funnel." A "Neg-Funnel" grows bigger and stronger as an individual becomes more and more agitated. Avoiding "Neg-Funnels" is what separates the ones who PASS Ultimate Success from the ones who FAIL.
Take security in the fact that everyone else who realizes they are in Ultimate Success is also working on avoiding "Neg-Funnels." In the end your ability to recognize and steer clear of "Neg-Funnels" will give you a heightened sense of awareness as well as the Ultimate Success that comes along with taking control of your own positive attitude.
