"Discover the Hidden Truths About Yourself and Learn How To Live Up To Your Potential!"
Were you one of those kids in school? You know which ones. Were you one of those kids who had a note from the teacher on every report card that said, “Johnny isn’t living up to his potential!”
It’s funny but did you ever think that the teacher had a rubber stamp with that phrase that she used to label every student? Actually, she wouldn’t have been far from the truth even if she graded you today!
Most people fail to live up to their potential. Why is that? Life gets in the way for one thing. But, more importantly, we have allowed ourselves to be crammed into a mold of how other people perceive us.
The only way this can happen is if you have allowed others to manipulate and define who you are. It’s easy to do. Somewhere it’s written that it takes 21 days to create a habit. If that’s the case then it should take 21 days to eliminate the habit, right?
Unfortunately it isn’t that simple. Why? The answer lies somewhere in between your self-image and self-esteem.
Have you ever heard the story about the fleas in a jar? It goes something like this:
If you place a bunch of fleas in a covered glass jar you will observe them jumping to break free. After a short period of time remove the lid. The fleas will continue to jump only as far as the top of the jar even though the lid is no longer there.
What’s the point? The point is that the fleas have become conditioned. They understand that if they behave in a certain way the result is predictable.
Well, the same thing happens to people. After years of bombarding ourselves with conditioned, negative results we become a self-fulfilling prophecy. We become what we think.
