Whether You Think You Can or You Can't, Your Right!
Our minds work in weird ways, no matter what we think we know, if deep in our hearts we have true beliefs about things, our actions will somehow emerge inline with our beliefs.
I have been in situations in my life where I know what I want, I know how to get what I want, yet just before I take the step off the cliff, I begin to self sabotage what I have worked so hard for. I never even realized I did this, it was something I did "behind the scenes" in my mind.
It took years of me going in circles before I recognized my pattern, and started to wonder why. I was smarter than that, I knew what I had to do, I knew I wanted what I was trying to get, why did I keep messing things up?
I believe it was because my true sub-conscience beliefs were not in line with my wants. I didn't honestly through every fiber of my body believe that I deserved what it was that I wanted, or in some cases, my sub-conscience thought that I really didn't want what my conscience mind wanted, causing conflict.
If you keep getting stuck in life, if you can't seem to get past that hurtle, if you keep going in circles, it may be because your values are out of alignment with your sub-conscience.
If you want to be a successful business man, and you can't seem to get past the first or second step, or as soon as you begin to gain some traction, you get distracted, or quit, you should take a look at your values.
If high on your list of values is security and surety, you might be afraid of failure. If your afraid of failure, you will begin to sabotage things without even knowing it once you get to a point of no return, or when you are about to take that next step, or you need to take a chance on yourself. You don't truly believe in yourself, and you will destroy your chances every time.
My intention of this post is top reach anyone who seems to be going in circles, I see people come and go and come again. If they would of aligned there values, they would have made that break through that would take them to the next level in their life.
Please take a moment and examine your cycles if your stuck and can't seem to get that traction that your looking for. I wish I would have it done it years ago, I wish I would have read a post like this, or someone would have said to me...

Hi Mason - I've always loved this statement too. It's appropriate to all of us. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.

Thanks Beverley, my hope is to reach someone that is having doubt, and to inspire them to look deeper into their psyche and make the break through that they need and deserve!

So true....self-sabotage is a real thing! I think fear of failure is a big one for many people, myself included. Nice post
Thanks Emily, I know self sabotage is real too, first hand, I did it for years and years. Now that I am aware, it's a bit easier to spot not only in my own actions, but in others too. It's something that's hard to point out to people, if they don't have proper self exploration and see it first hand, they get defensive.
I have and still do struggle with fear of failure, however my eyes are now wide open, and I deal with it rather than let my misaligned values rip my hard work to shreds!
Thanks for the comment!
