You were
created with unique gifts, talents and abilities. You have the potential to
achieve and produce outstanding result.
Life is a journey and on that journey you will face challenges, which
may try to hinder your progress. I want
to encourage you to become a better you by: First by getting out of your
comfort zone, second by forgetting past failures and third by positive thinking.
· Get out of your comfort zone
Denis Waitley stated "The greatest limitations you will ever face
will be those you place on yourself."
The comfort zone is the place where you play it safe to avoid hurts,
disappointments and the
risk failures.
Its mental place or state of mind where you go along with the daily
routine and never to go after your dreams. The comfort zone is a behavior that
keeps you from reaching your full potential. It’s where you are comfortable and
you have place limitation on yourself that stop you from growing.
What cause a person to settle in a comfort zone:
1. The fear of the unknown
2. The fear of failures.
Stretch yourself and get out of your comfort zone. Set goals that will
make you grow and develop new skills. You are not limited you was created and
designed to progress and expand. Challenge yourself to perform at a higher
peak. Never settle for good enough but strive for excellent.
Joel Osteen tells the story of a friend who went to Germany. One day he
was driving on the superhighway a highway that doesn’t have speed limits. You
can drive as fast as you want. His friend was driving with a passenger. The
driver was excited as he was passing cars. He pressed down the accelerator and
took the car up to 80 miles per hour then to a 110. He was flying by cars left
and right. A few minutes later another car same make and model passed by him
running at 180. The passenger says, see you not going as fast as you can go you
only going as fast as you want to. In other word use your full potential never settles
for average. Push beyond the boundaries of your comfort zone.
· Forgetting Past Failures
One of the best ways to limit your potential is to dwell things that went
wrong. Focusing on the past will limited your vision to the past. You can’t see
a better future because of looking at the past. Mindsets of achievers see
beyond the setbacks and stay focus on succeeding. They are driven by the
intensity to win. They are not divided by divisional thinking. They are focus,
motivate and centered on their purpose. Maybe you’ve been through some
disappointments, or had some unfair things to happen. You can’t get struck
looking in the past. You have to keep moving forward. Failure can be
devastating or it can be an opportunity. An old proverbs says when the King
palace is burn down it’s an opportunity build a far better and beautiful palace.
It is your perception of a situation that make it a setback or setup of
success. You can either draw strength from it and used it as a motivation or
let it keep you paralyzed and keep you bound.
Jim Carey is a famous actor and comedian. He started in movies name Ace

· Positive Thinking
Get rid of a defeated mind-set. A
negative way of thinking can cause you to live unhappy and stressed. You can be
defeat by your own thoughts. A person can think their way into depression. If
you don’t like the way you are feeling check on what are thinking about. You
emotions are the voice of your thoughts.
Real change is when old patterns of thinking has been replaced with new
way of thinking which produce a
difference respond to situation, circumstances, people and things. Negative
habits are replaced with health, positive habits. Your language and action
changes because the old way thinking has been replace. As one profound Pastor
says, If change is not taking place you are just putting clean diaper on top a
soil dirty diaper it still full of mess. Earl Nightingale an American
motivational speaker and author, stated “Every one of us is the sum total of
his own thoughts”
Developing a positive attitude can
truly change your entire life. Negative thoughts should be the trigger that automatic causes you to
respond with a positive thought. You can
train you mind to switch off any negative thoughts that come in your mind and
replace it with positive thinking. By speaking a positive out loud will causes
you stop that negative thought dead in its tracks. Focus on what you want and
not what you lack.
By learning how to think positive you will begin to attract positive
