HOLDING YOU BACK FROM


LIVING AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE

“THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF MY GENERATION
IS THAT A HUMAN BEING CAN ALTER HIS LIFE BY
ALTERING HIS ATTITUDES OF MIND”
-William James

The human mind is an extremely powerful tool and is said


to generate anywhere from 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts per
day. Depending on how you choose to use your thoughts,
your mind can either be your best friend or your worst
enemy.

With this idea in mind, the question then becomes:

Are your thoughts helping you or hurting you?

Check out the 5 thoughts below holding you back from


living an extraordinary life.

I’m Not Good Enough
If you don’t believe in yourself, then why should anyone else?
Today is the day you let go of your self­limiting beliefs and
start thinking with a clear, positive mindset. You have full
control over which thoughts you choose to focus on. As
Henry Ford, the great American industrialist is known for
saying, “Whether you think you can, or whether you think you
can’t, you’re right.” It’s time to flip the script and start living
as the confident, successful person you truly are.

I Don’t Know Where To Start


As Eastern philosopher Zao Tzu once said, “The journey of
1,000 miles begins with one single step.” Today is the
day you take full responsibility for your life and take your first
step. You are a remarkable human being who has the ability
to have a profound impact on this world. Keeping your gift
bottled up inside you is selfish. Everything you will truly need
is all around you. Open your eyes and take the leap today,
you never know where your dreams may lead you.

I Don’t Want To Fail


Fear is the little voice inside your head who creeps up on you
when you least expect it. It’s a liar and kills more dreams
than failure ever will. As the legendary Hall of Fame
basketball player Michael Jordan is known for saying, “I can
accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can’t accept
not trying.” Everything you desire sits on the other side of
fear. Fear of failing is holding you back from achieving
greatness and living the life you’ve always imagined. It’s time
to silence the voice of fear, and take control of your life.

It’s Just Too Risky
You don’t like to take risks because risks involve uncertainty.
They involve making a decision based on the unknown and
the unknown makes your skin crawl. Living with a timid
mindset, reluctant to try something new will leave you
stagnant and wondering how you can move forward in life. If
you take the risk, what are you truly losing? Do you know for
a fact what the outcome will be, or are you making
assumptions based on fear? Think bigger. It’s time to step
out of your comfort zone and just go for it.

I Don’t Have The Time


Time is one of the most valuable currencies you have. Unlike
money, time can not be refunded or reused in any way. How
you choose to spend your time is how you choose to live
your life. The quote, “You can either use your time to build
your own dreams, or someone else will will hire you to build
theirs,” simply says it all." There are 86,400 seconds in a day
and you have full control over how you choose to use each
and every one of them. Spend your time doing what you
love and you will never work a day in your life.
