paralysis or movement? Posted by poolboyjames on August 12, 2009 at 12:19 AM comments (0)i have recently realized how important it is to have one mind about one's endeavors
before anything can ever be achieved, one must believe they can achieve it this is why doubt is so negative, because it takes u out of the running before success is achieved conquering doubt takes a constant positive outlook.. but the key to a positive outlook is to have ONE outlook i can make it. i can do it. i have made mistakes but i learned from them. i am strong today. i am going to see this through til the end. this is hard but i will find a way. these statements say "i will remain on this path to success, i can acknowledge my mistakes but they do not define me or my future, who i am today is not who i was yesterday" think of it in literal terms.. i am currently 24.. am i the same person i was 23 years ago? if someone was in a coma for 23 years and woke up, and they looked around for baby pool boy in 2009, would they find him!? NO. pool boy is still here but i am just not the same see, these statements focus on the here and now. they focus on the goal and they focus in on one pathway, the pathway that leads to the alotted goal ------------------------------ negative thinking is simply a thought process that entertains 'other' options.. options that are off the goal pathway. i am strong, but this is hard i don't know if i can make it i made so many mistakes in the past that i don't trust myself to do what is correct anymore i want success but i don't see a way to it these say "i am strong but this obstacle might be stronger" "my past defines me" "the best indicator of what i will do is my past" "there is no reason to think i can do better" "there is no logical reason for hope when it comes to me" "i can make it BUT" these statements are like saying 2 things at once they entertain that other option the problem with that is.. the other option is an alternative to success ------------------------------ its really rather simple, see this is the foundation of what people mean when they say "life is what you make it" its important to entertain either negativity or positivity attempting to entertain both leaves one in a state of paralysis all in all no matter which way it goes it is better to reach a verdict than to remain at a hung jury ---------------------------------- i encourage all who read this to take a look at what attitude they project not only on themselves but also on others think about this and turn an "i'm not sure" into a "yes" or "no" today! for example i'm not sure - i want to graduate but this is tough, i don't know if i can make it (remains in fear) no - this isn't for me, i'm going to drop out and pursue something else (moves on) yes - i'm going to get my degree no matter what (carries on) take urself out of the emotional purgatory today!
