Something I'm becoming more aware of in my own life is realizing the impact of the story I tell myself.
Tony Robbins said in one of his seminars "Becareful what story you tell yourself" because we will view everything through that lens, be it right or wrong. Basically, what we tell ourselves, will oftentimes come to pass before us. If we expect a situation to go sideways, there will always be something that goes sideways. This all comes down to perception, for everything we do and learn, there is always a positive and negative, and they aren't mutually exclusive of each other.
Focusing on the positive things rather than the negative will change how we view life in general and creates in us a hopeful look to the future! It's very much the power of limiting beliefs, 'whether you think you can, or cannot, you're right' -Henry Ford. And a lot of things in our lives are brainwashed into us from such an early age, good and bad, and sometimes we have to take a step back and change our mindset on how we go about grasping a new concept.
Key takeaways:
1) Be aware of the story you tell yourself
2) We are who we think we are
3) We're ingrained with what is the norm from a young age, it takes intentional focus to overcome those
