We all have a story we’ve been hiding behind for years, giving us an
excuse not to accomplish everything that we’ve dreamed of. Whether
you’re already consciously aware of yours or not, I don’t know, but I’d bet
that you have one. I’ll let you in on a little secret and give you an idea of
what mine was:
“I grew up with very little money in my family, we never lived in our own
home and I learned terrible financial habits from my parents. I was never
exposed to anyone wealthy to learn how to be a success myself.”
There are really only three words to say in response to that… blah blah
blah. Our history has absolutely nothing to do with our future. It is always
and only what we choose to do with what we have learned that defines
our future. No exceptions.
The great Oprah Winfrey, for instance, was raised in poverty and
subjected to sexual assault when she was a child. She could have used
that as an excuse for never making anything of her life, yet instead she
not only rose above it, but used it to fuel her super success. As a result
Oprah is one of the wealthiest women in the world today!
“Nothing is impossible; there are ways that lead to everything, and if
we had sufficient will we should always have sufficient means. It is
often merely for an excuse that we say things are impossible.”
- Francois De La Rochefoucauld
We can all find a story to hide behind, to give us a reason for not
achieving everything we’re more than capable of, or we can choose to
achieve it anyway. What’s your story?
Set some quality time aside for yourself, and maybe set the mood for
inspiration by lighting some candles, or putting on some soothing music;
whatever works best for you. Take out a pen and paper and allow
yourself to be truly honest with what you write down.
