Nobody Ever Told You That You Could

I expect that I have repeated myself often on this blog.

In fact...I'm almost certain that I have repeated that I have said that I repeated myself!

So what?

Your path through life is driven through what I call "channels".

These channels are like ski tracks through snow...sharply defined.

Until someone walks all over them - and you've no way of knowing exactly where your tracks were.

So...you just go ahead blindly...making MORE tracks until you realize that your tracks were PURPOSELY covered over because you were going the WRONG WAY!

So...in our lives...we blindly go through these channels that we've set ourselves based on what we BELIEVE to be TRUE about ourselves.

So...if you think that you're ugly...no matter what happens...that's the channel your're going to go down, whether it's 'right' for you or not.

Even when you have the opportunity to prove yourself wrong when you arrive at another channel going in a different direction - you STILL follow the same channel...and still continue along the SAME direction.

The complain about how unlucky you are!

Are YOU one of those people who literally forget that you DO have a CHOICE about which channel to follow?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Today I had conversations with two people who both said in a roundabout way...

"I can't do 'x' because 'y' MIGHT happen"

Shame really...because UNLESS they do 'x' - their 'y' might ALWAYS happen!

Your capacity for achievement is determined by how much you really BELIEVE that you CAN.

Except nobody ever told YOU that you COULD.

So you DON'T...and then make up reasons WHY you CAN'T.

Until you 'get it'...that you CAN if you REALLY want to.
