3 things blocking your success
The 3 things that often block success
- fear,
- doubt; and
- excuses.
We all want to feel successful, however many of us can not picture a successful future.
Fear
Fear is a self-imposed prison that is keeping you from achieving the purpose of your life. You often think that you do not have the correct set of skills or that you do not have the correct experience to complete the tasks that have given you.
Doubt
Fear and doubt are first cousins. They both exist to keep you from achieving. Doubt makes you question your abilities. It also affects how you think. You question the instructions you received. Doubt is enhanced in circumstances where you have had some past failures, have some guilt from past mistakes, and when you hear negative comments about yourself from others.
Excuses
You can always find a million and one reasons why you are not or can not do what it is that you are supposed to be doing. Passing the blame and not wanting to take responsibility for your actions are all excuses.
How to remove the 3 things blocking your success
All hope is not lost. It is never too late to (re)define success and most importantly, take action to get the success that you want in any area of your life.
Two things that you can do immediately are:
- Counter fear with the truth about yourself.
- Invest time in deepening your relationship with yourself. Knowing who you are will help to eliminate doubt when you need to act.
3 inspirational things to know about success
Here are 3 inspirational things to know about success.
One
Success is on your horizon
You can start at any time if you want to be successful. But you have to start. You will not accomplish anything if you wait for all the possible objections to be overcome. Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.
Two
Do not be afraid to live. Do not wait for things to change.
Do not wait until you have more time, until you are less tired, until you get the promotion, until you settle down, until, until, until. Do not wait for a major event in your life to occur before you begin to live.
Begin where you are. Work where you are. The hour you are wasting now, dreaming of some far off success, is crowded with tremendous possibilities.
When you take the first step, your mind will mobilize all its forces to assist you. Once you have started, all that is within and around you will come to your assistance. The only way to start down the road to success is to start.
Three
If you expect to succeed, you will succeed.
The dreams you choose to believe in will come to be. When you feel in your innermost being that you will achieve what you set out to do, you open the way for miracles.
Choose to believe something good can happen. Expecting it to happen energizes your goal and actually gives it momentum. What you expect to happen, happens. Life responds to your outlook.
If you want to succeed beyond your wildest expectations, you have to begin with some wild expectations. The seed of success lies in your imagination Visualize all the things that you want in life. Then make your mental blueprint, and begin to build.
Your imagination can show you how to turn your possibilities into reality. You must make every thought, every fact, that comes into your mind pay you a profit. Make those mental images work and produce for you.
Think of things not as they are but as you want them to be. Do not just dream, be creative. The will to succeed springs from the knowledge that you can succeed.
