Do you ever think to yourself, "I can't do that?"
Most likely, it is your present beliefs that may be
causing you to doubt your own abilities. After all,
the only thing that can ever stop you from doing or
getting anything is a thought.
· I don't have a chance to win this one.
· They'd probably turn me down anyway.
· I can't see it working.
· I doubt she'd go out with me.
· What if I call him and he says no?
I could list thousands of these tension building and
confidence destroying instructions. Many of us wash
these types of negative instructions through our brains
every day. It's no wonder we are afraid to try new things.
We always lose when we expect to. Which is why we did.
It's self-fulfilling. Expect failure and get failure.
Which in turn breeds more expectation of failure.
If you want to change your situation and the results
you are currently getting - you first have to change
your beliefs. This means changing your mental
conditioning to get the results you want.
If you set yourself up to expect success - you will
achieve more success - and so breeding more expectations
of success. It starts by telling ourselves that we can
do it. It is about making things work rather than
focusing on what we can't do and telling ourselves we
can't. The basic concept is really that simple, but
extremely powerful.
Not all your results will change instantly, but
some will. I mean, it's not like a million dollars
is going to appear out of thin air. But, if you
really do want a million dollars, you can have it.
However, firstly you have to believe that it is possible.
It is a bit like a farmer planting seeds; he doesn't
expect the crop to pop out of the ground the instant
he waters it. He expects to nurture it and work at
making his crop a reality. Nor does a woman who
conceives a baby expect it to be born immediately
(thank goodness for that), without some sacrifice
or effort.
The point I'm making is that you have complete control
over your results (except for unforeseen natural disasters).
You have complete control over your future and you have
complete control over your mind.
Another thing I have discovered from my years in
business; is that in order have complete control
over your mind, you first have to take full
responsibility for the results you get in life.
When something happens to you, take full responsibility.
The problem is this. It is easy to blame any and
everyone, or everything else for our plight in life.
It's the government's fault. Oh Really??
The economy is to blame. Oh Really???
It's the boss's fault. Oh Really????
It's everyone else's fault. Oh Really?????
THINK BETTER! ...ACT BETTER! ...FEEL BETTER!
Every day is a new day. Don't let the past control the
future. Forgive others and forgive yourself for whatever
may have happened in the past. Get over it... it's done
with... let go. Think about the present and focus on the
future.
Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life.
YOU are in control. YOU are responsible.
