How have you heard these words like these come out of your mouth before?
- “I’ll never get that”
- “That’s impossible”
- “I wish”
- “If only I was that lucky”
These statements are the result of a lack of self-belief. Usually programmed into our minds at a young age from our closest social circles. Unfortunately, in most cases, from our parents. They weren’t able to believe that they could achieve, therefore, they instilled in us that we weren’t either.
This usually comes from a place of love because they don’t want us to feel the pain of failure and defeat (Which are necessary feelings that come along with the journey to success). However, because they were too weak to push through, doesn’t mean that you are. Never fall for this trap.
The human brain can be programmed in a very similar manner. In order to tear the post holding you down to the ground, you need to first believe that you can, and I promise you, YOU CAN!!
This concept is the same as the story of the elephant and the post. A human being can tie an elephant to a post so many times that the elephant learns that it won’t be able to move farther than the rope will allow. Eventually, we can tie this elephant to a small tree or bush and it won’t escape. Why?
Even though the elephant has immense power and strength to easily rip a small tree or bush out of the ground, it doesn’t believe that it can because its mind has been set to such a low standard that it won’t put in the slightest effort to attempt it anymore.
The human brain can be programmed in a very similar manner. In order to tear the post holding you down to the ground, you need to first believe that you can, and I promise you, YOU CAN!!
This is why listening and investing in successful mentors is incredibly important. In terms of taking your physical health to the next level, this means sacrificing what you need in order to hire a coach/mentor that has been down the path you wish to achieve and help you believe in yourself again.
If you want to succeed in any goals in your life, you must separate from those who don’t believe. Otherwise, we will constantly face the bombardment of their negativity and lack of self-belief only to hold our progress back. We must remove ourselves from any lack of belief and surround ourselves with those that know that the post is easily removable.
Success always starts with the mind. If you believe, you will succeed. There will be nothing stopping you from success, no matter how many posts try that try and keep you stationary.
