“Everyone is born a genius, but the process of living de-geniuses them.” – R. Buckminster Fuller
If each individual does indeed have unlimited potential then why is not everyone automatically successful? At birth we are strivers, we’re curious, active and eager. In fact psychologists tell us that infants in their first seven years of life learn more at a greater rate than at any other time in life. In the first 7 years they are just downloading and that’s how they learn to walk, talk and how to be part of a family.
CONCEPT
However, what happens to that potential genius or your God-given potential. Over a period of time, some force operates to limit that potential. From the moment you are born, you are conditioned by outside influences that surround you. Most of these influences are intended for your own good, but not all of them have proved beneficial.
INSIGHT
A good example of conditioning is a baby elephant chained to a huge stake in the ground that is too big to pull out. Weeks and months of tugging at the chain and the strong stake conditioned the baby elephant to the belief that he could not free himself. Finally, he quit trying. Now, full-grown and with almost unlimited strength, but it’s not going anywhere with that programming.
“The memory of their past failure causes them to forfeit the potential their creator gave them.”
Through reinforcement, these conceptual boundaries get structured into their consciousness.
So one of the reasons we stay stuck repeating the same old life patterns is that we’re running the same programme. We experience the same relationship disappointments, the same physical challenges, the same financial woes. So it is a different day but the same ole, same ole stuff. This is your OLD STORY and as long as you stay FIXATED on the old story you will stay rooted where you are like a tree!
ATTITUDE
START TELLING A NEW STORY
When you set new intentions you’re setting new outcomes, you’re starting to tell the NEW STORY and you “disrupt” the OLD STORY.
WHEN YOU CHANGE YOURSELF YOU CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
Your health improves, your work improves, your relationships improve. You are designing a new focus and you need to spend everyday feeding it like a gardener feeds the seed and you will produce sweet fruit.
ACTION
- By practising the mental and emotional work we teach you are telling a new story.
- Doing the mental work consistently you’ll create new habits of thoughts and emotions that EMPOWER YOU!
Remember that when you’re thinking of lack (in health, relationships, money etc.) it’s easy to forget abundance. This is because you can’t live prosperity and the lack of it at the same time. Its all about Focus!
WISE GUYS
- “Your comfort zone is a place where you keep yourself in a self-illusion and nothing can grow there but your potentiality can grow only when you can think and grow out of that zone.” – Rashedur Ryan Rahman
- “Don’t live the same day over and over again and call that a life. Life is about evolving mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.” – Germany Kent
- “Whatever you’re thinking about is literally like planning a future event. When you’re worrying, you are planning.” – Abraham
