| Beliefs and Mindset |
What we believe about ourselves as adults often
originates in childhood. From the moment we are born
our subconscious mind is receiving and storing data
that shapes our behavior throughout our life. By the
time we are six years old, our personalities and life
views are formed based on information we have
internalized from our parents, teachers, friends,
neighbors, churches, TV, the movies, the media, and
literally everything around us. Since children's
immature minds are unable to separate fact from
fiction at such a young age, all incoming information is
absorbed and accepted as truth. This often results in
totally erroneous and illogical beliefs that manifest as
self defeating attitudes and behavior in adulthood.
These old stored beliefs are what determine the limits
of what we can achieve, how we behave and how we
react to every new situation. Our lives are literally a
direct mirror of what we think and believe. What do
you see? What do you want to see?

believes to be true
either is true or
becomes true in
one's mind."

Stuck In A Rut? Success Stops When You Do!
By
Sean M. Mantack
Are you stuck in a rut? Did someone put you there, or did you put yourself there? You are stuck in a rut because
you stopped along the pathway to success and chose not to get back on it. The only way to get back on the
pathway to success is to take action. Taking action are your steps along the pathway to success!
The feeling of being stuck in a rut arises when you stop dead in your tracks and you stop stretching yourself and
setting goals that take you out of your comfort zone. Every great invention, every progressive step forward in the
evolution of mankind has come from someone stepping outside of their comfort zone. That is the only way we
move forward as individuals and as a species. You must take action if you are to get unstuck from your current
situation.
You must decide that enough is enough; you must draw a line in the sand and stake your claim on your future
happiness by taking forward moving action. There simply is no other way for you to get yourself unstuck than
taking progressive action towards your desired outcome. The sooner that you grasp this concept, the sooner you
can take action and get yourself unstuck.
Success is a pathway and not a destination. You must follow the path. You must simply follow the path towards
whatever goals you have set for yourself. It could be your ideal relationship with the love of your life. If could be
starting your own business. It could be getting that promotion at work. It doesn't matter what it is, it only matters
that you must take some forward moving action to get from your desired state to your preferred state. You must
participate in the game of life if you want to end up on the winner’s podium.
By all means design a plan that specifies what action steps that you need to take. But when it comes time to put
those action steps into practice, do not shirk from the responsibility that you have to yourself and to those who
are dependant on you. You must get out of your comfort zone if you are ever to get unstuck. The only way to get
out of your comfort zone is through taking action.
One of my mentors, the late Jim Rohn said, "We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the
pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons. "You do not want to suffer from
the pain of regret, much better to suffer from the pain of discipline. Discipline yourself to take action and your only
regret will be that you didn't do it sooner.

What Does It Mean to Live a “Limitless Life?”
by
Judith Albright
Does it mean that everything has to be perfect and that you can have absolutely anything and everything you want
whenever you want it? Does it mean living lavishly or lying around all day without a care in the world? Hardly!
Living a limitless life is not about money, possessions, prestige, power or status. It’s not about accumulating more
“stuff” to cram into our already over-flowing drawers, closets, basements and garages. Neither is it about spending
our days pursuing mindless activities nor having someone else wait on us or do everything for us.
Living a truly unlimited life is an attitude and a mindset that allows us to be open and receptive to all the richness
that life has to offer. “Allowing” is the key word, as we alone determine what we can achieve and what we will permit
ourselves to have. You may be thinking “How on earth can that be so? I truly want what I want, so why wouldn’t I
allow myself to have it?’ For far too many people there are generally three reasons. Which of these might apply to
you?
• I don’t deserve it.
• I am unworthy.
• I am not good enough.
While we get quite a bit of help believing badly about ourselves from family, friends, teachers, religious teachings
and society as a whole when we are young, most of the limitations in our adult lives are self imposed. Thus the
biggest obstacles to our success are our own limiting beliefs. Self-limiting beliefs can be about anything. They can
be beliefs about ourselves, beliefs about others, or beliefs about our circumstances. Whatever they are, they keep
us from having the life we want by blocking our progress and keeping us stuck in place.
We didn’t always have these beliefs. When we were young, we felt invincible and were convinced we could do
anything. There was nothing we could not do or accomplish —and the sky was the limit. Then life began
hammering away at us and we started to lose that invincibility. Soon we start believing that we “can’t” rather than
we “can.” We can’t find the right job, the right person to marry or the right place to live. Our health is not as good
as we want it to be and we hate the way we look. We can’t seem to scrape together enough money to take a trip,
or buy the house or car we want. And so it goes. We learn to judge ourselves, and come up short. We start feeling
“not good enough,” unworthy or worthless, and the opinions we form about ourselves and life in general start
taking on a life of their own. We start living in a prison of our own limitations.
Uncertain times bring out limiting beliefs en mass. The more we listen to and absorb discouraging news on the
Internet and TV, the more we open the door to limiting beliefs. It is easy to start believing that we are victims with
no choice and no control over what happens to us. Yet from birth till death, life is about choices, and it is largely up
to us which ones we make. For that reason I have created a course entitled “Taking Control: Mastering the Secrets
of Living a Limitless Life and more about it will be coming soon. In the meantime, start taking a hard look at what
changes you’d like to make in your life…what better time than at the beginning of a new year?
