Are your thoughts holding you back?



Are your thoughts holding you back?

So you’ve set you goals for the new year with enthusiasm and determination. You may have started out well, and are struggling to stay motivated, or are still sitting wondering where to start. This is all quite normal when big dreams seem impossible, or old habits kick in and your thoughts turn to starting tomorrow, next week, after payday…

So what's holding you back?

The way you think and feel about yourself, including your beliefs and expectations about what is possible for you, determines everything that happens to you. When you change the quality of your thinking, you change the quality of your life, sometimes instantly. This is the key to getting starting and staying on the right path.

You have complete control over only one thing in the universe — your thinking! You can decide what you are going to think in any given situation. Your thoughts and feelings determine your actions and determine the results you get. It all starts with your thoughts.
