If you think you can’t, then you won’t…

Archive Post… I can’t count how often I’ve been told, “Not everyone is like you!”

That comment was usually in response to me encouraging them to do better or to rise above what was troubling them.

You see, the assumption that a weak person makes is that some people are gifted to be more successful than others.

The reality though, is that we all have the same potential.

Some just realise that waiting for permission to be capable in their own right is a waste of life. So they own their contribution towards what they want to achieve.

Unfortunately, too many convince themselves that they’re not built that way. That they’re not as gifted or that no one understands what they’re going through.

But, like Henry Ford said, “If you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right.”

Sadly, too many think that they can’t, and then blame the world for the state in which they find themselves.

We place limitations on ourselves most often out of spite, rather than because we truly believe we’re limited in some way.

Do you know why spite? Because there are too many that will refuse to do something for themselves just because someone they don’t like, or don’t respect suggested that they should do it.

It’s a result of a low self-worth car causes us to focus more on what others may think of us, than what we think of ourselves.

That’s why emotional maturity is so important, and emotional maturity is impossible without self-awareness.

Worrying about what others think of you is a distraction from self-awareness.

With so many people distracted, it’s little wonder that most don’t know how to own their life.

It always starts with you.
