So many people want to have a great life, a healthy family, and live in peace and prosperity. Even with those dreams, it’s very common to see people sabotage themselves! Just as they are starting to make progress, they make obviously horrible decisions, returning to abuse, addiction, chaos and fear. Here’s a little secret: Before things can get better, you’ve got to stop making them worse!
The idea that there is some conspiracy that is holding you down is not true. Most of the time, we are our own worst enemy. I speak from experience, because the biggest obstacle to meeting my goals is myself. The way we think, the way we act on a daily basis is what keeps us from achieving the goals and dreams we have. Of course, many people don’t believe that. They believe they are controls by forces outside of themselves.
Challenge yourself every time you are tempted to blame others, or circumstances for your current situation. If you look closely you’ll see in most cases you have the ability to create a new situation. It’s time to get out of your own way.
Before things can get better, YOU have to stop making them worse.
I know this is challenging. What about this idea don’t you believe? What makes this hard for us to grasp and accept?
