Beliefs
Henry Ford
reportedly said: "If
you think you can, or you think you can't, you're
probably right". Is that an
over-simplification? Maybe, BUT, there are many documented cases of where
people have achieved what many thought could not be done, because they believed they
could, and they kept trying until they succeeded. When people believe they can't do
something, they've decided to not even try. If you look for obstacles, obstacles is
what you'll find. If you look for opportunities and possibilities, then you'll find
opportunities and possibilities.
If you like the story of The Little Engine That Could, you'll find more info on it at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Engine_That_Could. Believing you can, combined with determination is a winning combination.
What would happen if...... you reset your password on your computer to something like <your name>"can", or <your name>"can~do", or some variation of that? Is it possible that every time you enter your password, that you would give your brain the message that you can [do whatever you want to do?
Morris
Goodman, the Miracle Man; He never believed he couldn’t fully recover,
scroll down on the link
to the short video.
On March 10th, 1981, Morris Goodman crashed an airplane. Among other injuries, he broke the first and second cervical vertebrae in his neck. According to the doctors, NO one had ever survived such injuries. The doctors believed he would be a 'vegetable' the rest of his life, if he lived. Nine months later Morris Goodman walked out of the hospital on his own two feet with no mechanical aids.
While the doctors believed it couldn’t be done, Morris was determined, and Morris succeeded.
We are free to focus on what we want to. Identify what you want to move towards. Identify people who have achieved similar results like what you would like to achieve, and then study how they accomplished achieving what you want to achieve. Then you have a strategy, a model to follow, a strategy that has worked for others, that has a proven success record.
And, if you are charting new territory, you're determined to create what has never been done before, chunk it, divide the whole into 'chewable' pieces, create a project plan using MicroSoft Project or other project management software. Many of the individual tasks, when it is divided into the component parts, are very simple, do-able, manageable. A walk of a mile is a collection of steps taken one step at a time.
Are you deciding what YOU want in your life, or are you accepting someone else's agenda, or the cultural conditioning, the propaganda from professional pick pockets like the junk food industry?
