It’s so easy to give up before we even try…especially when you start thinking through all the barriers you are going to have to overcome to accomplish something. Your head starts spinning with the “well I probably couldn’t make this work” or “I wouldn’t know how to overcome that” etc, and before you know it you’ve ruled it out without moving forward one inch on it to see. I know this because I’ve done it…I’m pretty sure we’ve all done it….<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think we’d probably attempt a lot more in our lives if our first thought when we consider something hard or scary or intimidating would be, “Is there even a chance?” If the answer is “yes” and there is even a slight chance of accomplishing it, then make the attempt! If we don’t put ourselves out there and try then there is no chance at all…we’ve assured ourselves a “no chance”…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So much of accomplishing greatness is about the head game we play with ourselves. If we can just change our thoughts in the beginning to “hey, there’s a chance this can work, so I’m gonna give it my best shot” …just think of how amazing our futures could be…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
