Despite your setbacks, you have what it takes for GREATNESS! You CAN create a new you, a new destiny and open the doors to new opportunities. Give yourself permission to forgive anything in your past that may have created success inhibiting, mind blocks. Decide to let the past be the past. You must do this in order to achieve a fixed and solid focus on your future. Only then can you establish a mindset that will make your affirmations more powerful and create cognitive consonance. You will experience a clear, peaceful and stable state of mind which will propel you into amazing realities you never thought possible. This freedom is required if you want to continue on Your Journey to GREATNESS Through Routine.
Below are a several names you may recognize as those who did not allow damaging remarks, failures, struggles or deceptions from their past get in the way of winning:
Thomas Edison's teachers said he was "too stupid to learn anything." He was fired from his first two jobs for being "non-productive". As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. Edison response, "I didn't fail 1,000 times, the light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps."
Colonel Sanders was a man who started at 65 and failed 1009 times before succeeding. Whether you like KFC or not, the story of Colonel Harland Sanders is truly amazing. He has become a renown figure by marketing his "finger lickin' good", Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Henry Ford failed and went broke five times before he succeeded at inventing the Ford motor car.
Michael Jordan stated, "I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games; 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot ... and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. That is why I succeed."
Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor because "he lacked imagination and had no good ideas." He went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland. In fact, the proposed park was rejected by the city of Anaheim on the grounds that it would only attract riffraff.
Lucille Ball began studying to be an actress in 1927. The head instructor of the John Murray Anderson Drama School told her to “try any other profession,” but those words did not stop her.
