One of the world’s most untold tragic failures is the belief of limitations to our ability to accomplish something. That we are incapable of rising above our environment or circumstances. I truly believe it’s largely responsible for the poverty and many of the problems of our world today. How is it possible to rise above and accomplish something when you believe you cannot do it?
How can you do something worthwhile while you are the “victim” of circumstances or your environment? When you’re down on your luck with the world against you? How can you be a success when you think that success is for other people favored to be wealthy and not for you? Or my personal favorite….
How can you be a success while you are a professional victim?
How can you rise above while holding onto thoughts such as these? You cannot become something other than the thoughts you hold true about yourself. There is no way possible for someone to succeed while they think, live and talk as a failure. One of my favorite quotes of all time:
You are your limitations.
If it’s going to BE…. It’s up to ME.
If you think you can or you think you can’t – YOU’RE RIGHT!
So true. We create our lives by our limits. They make up who we are. Our belief in ourselves creates who we are and what we can do. Nothing can help the person who has given up hope in their ability to succeed. There is nothing sadder than the person who lays down and gives in to the notion that they cannot. All of our discoverers, inventors, revolutionaries and builders all had unshakable belief in their ability to succeed. Faith in yourself eliminates fear, doubt and uncertainty and allows you to push forward when everything tells you to pull back. It keeps you moving with the world on your back. Without faith, your limitations can cripple your achievement. If you believe you will fail most likely you will attract that very thing. You are who you think you are. If you think failure you will become one.
Don’t ever say that you can’t do something. Change your philosophy and ask yourself how can you do it. YOU MIGHT just surprise yourself!!!
Here is an original quote by yours truly, “Sacrifice is key along the path to salvation.” I came up with that sitting in my office talking with my business partner, David. It sounded pretty good and it was deeper than I had anticipated. Let’s break it down word by word….
