Before you start on your journey to fulfil all your dreams and desires, there are three demons that you need to rid yourself of first. These demons are the shackles that will keep on haunting you and bring you down.
You will not be able to completely eradicate these demons, but you can slowly but surely eliminate their influence on you. However just be sure to know that they will always be there when you least expect it.
So what are the three reasons that you are not reaching your full potential?
1) The Poverty Mindset
The Poverty Mindset is one of the strongest demons that exist in your mind, forever feeding you with negativity until one day you give up or cease to try.
What I mean by the Poverty Mindset is not the mindset of being poor, but the mindset of always taking the comfortable road out. However the comfortable path may not necessary be the easy path, in fact it could be one of the hardest path you ever take. But due to it being the comfortable and pain free path in your life, you take it without hesitation.
Since we were born we have always been sheltered and protected by our parents. The only real struggles we ever had during our first few years of life was trying to breath and learning to walk.
If you ever looked at babies trying to walk, no matter how many times they fall down, they get back up and try again. That is the true mentality of success that we all possess since we were young! However as we grew older, our parents kindness and protection had made us all lazy. We were comfortable with what they provided us! We were comfortable with their ideals, theories and experience with life. Although there are situations when we have rebelled, but every time we hit a road block we would always say, “Mum (or dad) was right!” and continued on with the path they set for us again.
Our parents and teachers mean well. There’s no mistake about that! However what they teach us is not to chase after success but to chase after a life of stability and comfort. It is easy being employed and not have to worry about your business! It is easy to get up and go to work at set times, at set days and at set hours! There is no room for change!
This type of lifestyle will keep us fed, housed and clothed, however it will not free our minds, soul or give us true happiness!
If you try listening to your inner voice you will be able to hear the Poverty Mindset at work. When you hear of other people’s success stories what is it that pops into your mind? What does your inner voice tell you? How about all the negative thoughts you have about you wanting to succeed?
Every time you hear your negative voice, write down what your inner voice is telling you. Those are all the negativity that will drive your Poverty Mindset.
2) Lack of Self Belief
I use to have low self confidence, and will often hide that low self confidence in modesty, trying to cover any brilliance I may have. In school I will do well, but instead of accepting the marks I have, I say to myself I was lucky! However if you truly know the Laws of Success, then you will know that there is no such thing as Luck, for luck will always find those who have the WILL and DESIRE to succeed.
The truth is, every human being on this earth is brilliant!
You are a talented person who deserves success! There is no doubt about that. If you don’t believe in yourself then who will?
The lack of self belief is the terminator of great people! Think of all the greatest athletes in the world and you know that they seem arrogant, but in actual fact they have strong self belief. They know they can be the best, and often the best in the world stage is split by fractions of a second!
Without self belief, then you cannot reach your full potential! Why because even if you can reach it, you wouldn’t have believed you made it, and in no time lose all that you have gained!
3) Negative People
The most dangerous of the three demons are Negative People. They are everywhere in the world, as they have one of the strongest Poverty Mindset around. They can be your friends, relatives, neighbours, strangers or even your family. At every opportunity that you can succeed, they will tell you not to try! They will give you every single reason why you shouldn’t do it or how you will fail!
True failure is the failure to try! There is nothing wrong with making mistakes, you can make as many mistakes as you like, so long as you learn from each one and try not to make the same mistakes again!
Negative People will love to see you fail and stay at their level. Why? Because they are lonely where they are, and if you decide to fly and succeed they will get worried that you will leave them. Their jealously of you is poison that you need to avoid! Do not let these people reach anywhere near your mind. You can be friends, but treat their word of wisdom as empty words that pass you.
Successful people always surround themselves with other successful people because Like attracts Like! Positive People will always attract other Positive People! If you want a successful life then you need positive people that will support, guide and believe in you. They will help strengthen your resolve and make every effort to help you! These are your true friends!
