Stepping Into the Success Zone

                                                                                         

Recently I spoke about our mind and what it does when we engage into something we have never done before. The first thoughts our mind will bring up are about all the reasons why we can't do this new thing. Whether it is something that has never done by anyone before, or something that WE haven't done before, there is a part of us that will want to prevent us from doing it.

The question is: What do you do when these thoughts come up? If you pay attention to your mind, you'll hear "no, I can't do that," or "Who do you think you are? Are you kidding me? There is no way!", or "just wait until tomorrow ...." Whatever it is that your mind is telling you, most likely it will be something that is intended to stop you on your tracks! So, are you going to give up right away? Or are you the type of person who will argue with the "voice" and say "No! Nothing is going to stop me from achieving this goal!"

Most people stop immediately taking action toward their goals at the first objection of their conscious mind. They just abandon their desires and goals. They don't know that the conscious mind is just bringing up what is in their subconscious mind. Think of it: if we are trying to do something new, get into a zone we haven't ventured into before, there is no familiar "data" in our subconscious mind.

So we look at our current circumstances and start agreeing with the negative thoughts that surged into our mind: "Yeah, you're right, what was I thinking? My life isn't so bad, why do I want anything more anyway?" If you are not the type of person to accept your circumstances and still can't move forward, you may fall into the victim mentality and start feeling sorry for yourself or even resentful of others seemingly luckier than you are.

If you want to improve your life you must grow into a new person, one who is strong and committed to your dreams and goals and never gives up. Do you have what it takes? There are many obstacles on your path and you must be determined to eliminate or get past each one of these obstacles. The very first and biggest obstacle is yourself and your negative mind. Highly successful people have learned how to master their mind for success.
