Roadblocks and Hats

I meet people all the time that say, "I know what to do, but I just can't do it!". Well, that's the first problem to address... language. When you say things like "I can't", "I'm not able", "That's not possible", you stop the problem-solving process right there. Done. No possible way to move forward, so stay where you are.

It's like when you need to get somewhere and the same street you've been driving on for years goes under construction. You try 1 of 3 alternate roads, but that 1 leads to a dead-end. The "I can't" attitude will get reinforced here... if you let it.

Do you turn back and wait at the construction site in the hopes getting flagged through soon?
Would you drive down the other two roads without knowing where they'll lead? Will you be resourceful and call someone or stop to ask for directions?

Answer those questions to yourself, and you'll either discover the reasons why you're stuck or figure a way to move forward.

Change that "I can't" mindset to "It's posible" right now because it will move you forward in the direction of your dreams.

How? Practice saying "It's possible". Imagine putting that mindset on your head like a well-fitted hat. Feel its perfect fit, and notice how much easier opportunities line up ready-made for you.

Now, where do you want to go?
