Why are you are OK, with just “doing OK”?
I find it really fascinating how, as part of the human equation, everyone would like to do more, be more, have more, and yet so many settle for less, for “doing OK”! Why is that?
Why is that, because the success that lies within your reach is truly staggering! You are SO GIFTED it would blow your mind to fully realize. Open those gifts of yours, use them!
You can be anything you truly desire. Most don’t believe that at a deep level because we have been so programmed and conditioned throughout our lives to think and FEEL from a position of lack and limitation. You have no limits, but you behave as if you do. A big part of that lack and limitation resides in our self-image and belief system. There is no growth beyond your self-image or your beliefs held. As soon as you try to accomplish something beyond your self-image or level of beliefs, your mind will quickly and automatically create ideas or reasons justifying why you can’t do it, why it can’t be done.
This inner programming, also known as our paradigms, exerts ENORMOUS influence over us. In fact it OWNS us. Over 95% of your day, your efforts, your behaviours, YOUR RESULTS, is driven from your paradigms! If you are trying to do something that is outside of your paradigms, that even if you consciously try (i.e. use your intellectual faculties like imagination, will power, perception) you will generally unconsciously use these in a negative manner against yourself. And you end up creating an image in your mind where you see your conditions and circumstances as dominant in your life, and you become subservient to them.
Not a pretty picture is it?! That essentially means you are NOT in the driver’s seat, but in the passenger’s seat of your own life – or worse, in the back seat waiting for something to change, some event to happen, more money to come in etc…
Guess what, circumstances generally don’t change materially because your circumstances are exactly what you are attracting. Exactly!
Here’s the fascinating point though. I know you want better results for yourself. When you say that I see how much you mean it. BUT, emotionally you are OK with exactly the circumstances and conditions you are currently experiencing! If you are feeling a little pissed at me for saying that, that’s awesome! You need to feel more of that because what I am saying is true.
Your goals, your dreams, your desired successes may be very clear to you … in your intellectual mind. Goal setting is an intellectual exercise. But here is where the disconnect lies, because goal achieving is a lawful process. Your subconscious mind, which is your emotional mind and where your paradigms are fixed, DOES NOT KNOW THAT. Your subconscious mind drives your behaviour which drives your results. So intellectually you say you want to be more, do more or have more, but subconsciously you are getting the results you have been programmed to get. In other words, your emotional mind is fine with your current situation!
That’s why I say you are OK with just doing OK – because subconsciously that’s where you are at.
And here’s the thing. It is easier to adjust ourselves to the hardships of a poorer or lesser living, than it is to adjust ourselves to the hardships of creating a bigger, better one. If you doubt me, think of all the things you are willing to do without and all the situations you are willing to endure, in order to avoid doing the things you don’t want to do and that are outside of your paradigms (which by the way is the same thing as your Comfort Zone).
HERE’S THE GREAT NEWS! You do have choice – YOU ABSOLUTELY DO!
You are truly capable of anything you desire. We don’t get any desire in our hearts (not in our heads, in our hearts) that we are not capable of achieving! That’s a FACT!
In order for you to make a shift in your paradigms and break out of the circumstantial web that currently entraps you, understanding, courage and determination are required. Generally this only happens with the assistance of a coach or mentor. Your Paradigms are extremely strong. The best of us all have coaches and mentors, and so should you! Don’t leave yourself out – you’re worth it!
Start having faith in yourself and your ability to create fantastic success outside your comfort zone. Become aware of your paradigms and learn how to change them, and you CAN change your life! Bob Proctor has been teaching millions of people all over the world how to do this for 50 years! Once you understand how to do this, you will NEVER look back – your thinking will be on a whole new level and you will continuously tap into all that you are (AND YOU ARE SO MUCH!). You will be able to achieve extraordinary results in any area of your life. Guaranteed!
There is nothing so fulfilling as knowing, at a subconscious level, that you can achieve anything you desire. That you can fulfil your dreams and in doing so have a profound impact on your life, your family, your community and beyond.
Don’t be OK with just doing OK, don’t lead a lesser life. You are capable of so much more. Be more, do more and have more, and you will never look back! Investing in yourself and your ability to be all that you can be is the greatest gift you can give yourself.
I wish you all the joy and wonders of this holiday season. It IS truly a magical season – let your magic out! Open your giftedness!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah and Wonderful Celebrations to you all, and the very best for an Extraordinary 2018!
