Daily Gratitude: There is so much we could do if we only recognized that what was holding us back was our lack of belief that we could do it. A baby doesn’t know it doesn’t have great motor coordination. It only knows it sees something and wants to get to it to touch or hold it. It also doesn’t have any “failure” belief so when it falls down it doesn’t say “damn I’m a failure. So I’m never going to try to walk again”. It learns “failure “ thinking from those around it. Even if you think that you’re too old for this to apply to you, think how you can encourage those around you or those who come to you for advice. Don’t tell them “well it looks pretty impossible. Why don’t you do them the favor of believing in them. Maybe some of that belief will rub off on you. Always think first “I can do this. I just have to figure out how” instead of “this is impossible” or “this is impossible for me.” Try it for awhile and see if your thoughts and attitude changed.
