There is a process called ’stretching the possibilities’ told to me by a multi-millionaire friend. She stands by a clock and for one minute per day she makes herself come up with as many impossible things she would like to have or do as she can, no matter how ridiculous. She says it helps her to release obstacles in life.

‘Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast’

Very insightful Sean. We do make choices based on what we beleive we are capable of or what we deserve or what has worked for us in the past. For way too many years I used to make choices that were self-limiting and now that I can see that I find it hard to understand why I was so naive.

Now when I think of a possibilty in line with my dreams I live by the adage “If you never give it a go then you’ll never ever know!” I’ll jump right in and explore the opportunity. So far I have found many ways that don’t work but I am having an interesting life along the way.

Hi Sean,

I remember a time not so long ago when I was guilty of not believing in myself. So many times in the past I didn’t go for things that I really wanted because I didn’t think I would get them. It wasn’t because I didn’t believe I could do a certain job; I did think I would be good at it. I was just waiting for someone else to believe in me. I was waiting for someone else to give it to me.

The thing that really changed this for me was I got tired of waiting for someone else to see that I was good enough. I saw other people who were a lot more confident doing or having the things I wanted. I realized that they weren’t more talented than me. They just believed in themselves.

I am so much better at believing in myself now.:)

It is all too easy to set oneself limiting beliefs that restrict achievements to the familiar, the comfortable and the ordinary. However, the greatest achievements of human kind are all things that many would have thought were impossible at the time. Things like flying, and landing on the moon. These achievements were created by people who thought that it might be possible and gave it a go, often failing many times in the process.

There is a great quote by George Bernard Shaw which applies here – “Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people.”

Why doubt that something can be done? This is self limiting and encourages a mentality of avoidance. Avoiding risk and avoiding trying to strive for great goals.

I’d rather dare to dream that something is just highly improbably rather than being impossible. Unless I believe something might be possible, I am unlikely to try to do that thing, and if I never try I won’t achieve it. I’d rather risk failure in order to achieve success.
