What Is Holding Us Back & How to Kick It In The Teeth

I've spent most of my life being an avid reader and a trying to figure out the keys to success and the reasons that people stay down for the count after a failure.

I love studying with the greats like Jim Rohn and Tony Robbins along with many others.

One of the things that I found to be true after reading Think and Grow Rich is that what we think about we surely do bring about. Even when we know this, it is easy to worry and doubt.

Developing Awareness

When we become aware of what is holding us back, we can work on it and overcome. Most of the time, it is something small in our minds that we need to work through. We have to work on our awareness so we can find those things and break through to the next level.

How to Develop Awareness

Some of the practices that have greatly helped me:

  • Meditation (5 minutes a day)
  • Morning pages (500 words a day through the app)
  • Gratitude journaling (3 things I am grateful for)
  • Goal journaling (3 things that are my goal currently)

I get up every morning at the same time before anyone else is awake and get these things done so they don't get pushed out of the day.

After that, I start working on my To-Do list and accomplish at least 3 minor tasks that are going to push me toward my goals.

Doing this consistently will allow you to obtain positive momentum toward your goals.

Why the Mercedes?

My brother was the only one in the family that ever really had nice cars in the family. I always wanted a snazzy car but holy cow did I ever think they were expensive. One of the companies I work with had an incentive going on. They would pay one person's car payment for 24 payments and I earned my way to being that person. Sitting there in Vegas and got shocked out of my seat when I was called to the stage to accept the prize.

This was aftering putting it in my journal, meditating and writing my goals. #imabeliever lol

How Can This Help You?

You're probably thinking - great for you. lol Glad you got your Mercedes chick. I'm not telling you this to impress you, but rather to impress upon you that you are creating whatever your life is. (Good or bad) Get excited.

You may have thoughts that you can't afford Premium or that you're not good with computers. Instead of thinking those things, turn it into a question.

How can I afford premium so I can continue my education?

What is one step I can take to get better on the computer?

This allows your most amazing asset to get to work!

A rising tide raises all ships!
