What is keeping you from life success, personal success or professional success? Have you considered that your thoughts are keeping your from the success that you crave?
How many times have you heard someone state "I can't do this?" or "That can't be done?" The can't comes out as quickly as the exhaled carbon dioxide. Do you know why those can'ts exist?
To learn about the cannots in life requires us to travel back to our early childhood where our caring parents began negative conditioning out of their concern for our safety. We were told:
- Don't talk to strangers!
- Don't go where you are not asked or invited!
- Don't touch the iron, the knife, the stove, etc!
As we grew older, consequences were added to the don'ts. If you don't behave, you will receive a scolding, a spanking or for a time out. How many times were we told about a don't and then wait until your father or mother comes home? Our don'ts from earlier childhood evolved into the can'ts of adulthood.
How many times each day does the word can't or a similar self imposed limitation enters your mind?
- I can't lose weight!
- I can't get all of this work done!
- I can't spend more time with my family!
- I can't save any money!
- I can't waste time because I am so busy!
- I can't (fill in the blank)
The cannots in your thoughts are the real barriers to personal success and life success. To master success demands that your thoughts are focused on the positive and not on the negatives. Positive affirmations or what I call positive belief statements are one success strategy that helps to reinforce those positive thoughts while reducing the negative ones.
As in life, the choice is yours. To wallow in the Land of Misery where the can'ts control your destiny or to strive forward to the Land of Success where you are in control of you future and ultimately your personal success.
