LOL Sean! It’s amazing to think the Eagles won a flag only two years ago isn’t it, and I am perplexed as to a team on paper that the Dockers do have are struggling so much.

Eileen, I am so glad to hear you are recognizing the patterns going on - just keep going! BTW, I like your web site.

Dean,
Thanks for yor post. I have just read it with great interest. I have a lot going on in my life at the moment (not bad stuff just busy and finding the road to wealth challenging) and I’ve noticed my mindset trying to go back to the “I quit” (and similar dis-empowering thoughts) and what you have said now makes sense to me. I’m not finding it easy but I am on the path to wealth if I persist. Those obstacles mean I am making progress toward my goal. No obstacles = no progress/movement/action. These posts and the books I am reading are helping to keep me on track. I value such posts (including Seans of course ) and I feel like that banner is within reach.

Regards, Eileen.

Thanks Dean. Spot on! Though (some) AFL footballers don’t seem to achieve much by breaking the banner. At least not where I live at the moment

Hi Sean,
Yes, indeed most people never become aware of how close they come.

Interestingly, the harder something is to do, the closer you are to actually breaking through to the other side.

The reason is because our bodies become addicted to our thought processes. When someone is accomodating new thought processes, they have to in fact break the old habitual though processes, and this is what causes the pain, anxiety, fear, doubts and so on.

Just ask anyone who has tried to kick smoking, drugs etc - if anyone thinks this is different you are wrong - thoughts produce chemicals just like drugs do, and yes your body does become addicted to them if exposed to them enough. Take stock next time you react to something and ask yourself, how often do I react exactly this way? Hmmm something to think about!

So, the more painful something is, the more fear, doubt and anxiety you are feeling, means the closer you are to breaking a habit and forming a new one, and this is only done through persistance. I liken it to the banners AFL footballers run through before the start of a game.
