Give yourself permission to be a success

If you think you aren't going to be able to do something - guess what - you won't even try. Or if you do try, you don't try very hard.

You see, our thoughts can and do make our reality.

If you believe you can do something, if you want something badly enough, if your dreams, ambitions and goals are real and vivid to you - you will do everything in your power to get it, do it, reach it.

Unfortunately - most of the time our thoughts are going in the exact opposite direction to where we say we want to be. We want to go on holiday, but we spend money on things that don't matter. We say we want to have a meaningful relationship - but our inner dialogue is negative, and we end up having arguments and fights with the people we say we care about.

"It's not my fault" you tell yourself - but it is. You have the power to think for yourself, and if you have the power to think for yourself then you can choose the thoughts that you have. Because the important bit about this is, you will attract to you what you are thinking about most of the time. "This is exactly what I didn't want to happen" you say. Well it did happen - because you had spent so much time and energy predicting the outcome. The question is - why can't we spend the same amount of time deciding what we do want to happen?

The problem I have noticed is that people know what they don't want - they rarely know what they do. And if they do know what they think they want - they discount the idea as not being possible because they're not worthy of it... so they delay starting those things that will take them towards their dreams and goals.

One of the keys to breaking the procrastination habit is to decide what it is you do want.... and why you want it. The more reasons you have, the faster you will reach your target.

Get rid of the blame list and give yourself permission to be successful. You deserve it.
