Limitations

“Our limitations and success will be based, most often, on your own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon.” - Denis Waitley

When you focus on all that you can not achieve you will not reach success. Truly happy people, truly successful people focus on possibilities. What do you center on in your life? All that you can’t do or all that you might be able to do?

Affirmation – say: “I will focus on the possibilities in me, instead of my limitations.”

Find the easy way

Are you trying too hard and making things more complicated than they need to be? Are you so busy looking at the challenge that you miss the solution? Focus on what you’ve accomplished and the possibilities. Start with the basics. You didn’t just pick up a book one day and start to read. You started with the alphabet. But, just because you couldn’t read, didn’t mean you couldn’t tell a story. What can you do in the mean time? What positive steps can you take while you figure out that challenge?

Affirmation – say: “I will look for the easy solution.”

Worry

Worry is just like fear! It can be an asset or a block. Most times it’s a wasted emotion – a block that keeps us from doing anything. You can use it wisely if it’s something that comes into your life. Much like fear use it in a way to protect yourself.

Why do you worry? What do you worry about? Do your worries come true? If they do make changes so that it stops. If your worries don’t come true, you need to change your thinking. Positive outcomes are just as likely as what you worry about!

Affirmation – say: “I will think positive outcomes are a possibility.”

Embrace uncertainty!

Uncertainty can be exciting! "What’s around the corner?" Many times uncertainty brings about opportunities. Remember when we were younger and we weren't sure what the world had in store for us? It's still that way and it should be. Imagine a life that was so planned that there was no room for change or growth or another idea. Embrace uncertainty - explore all possibilities!

Quit or Not to Quit?

There are many times when we just want to give up on whatever is draining us. It's ok to sometimes say, "I'm done!" If you are drained and not energized, you may need to walk away - but only if you have exhausted all possibilities. There are times when quitting is the easiest thing to do but not necessarily the right thing to do. Get help from good friends or professionals before making a rash decision. Only after you have carefully weighed the pros and cons, should you move on.
