It’s Up To You!

You can’t hire other people to do your pushups.

— Jim Rohn

“You can start with nothing. And out of nothing, and out of no way, a way will be made”

~ Michael Beckwith

It is up to you. Regardless of where you are today, you can be on the path to greatness. Success is up to YOU. Success starts at this very moment, with the choices you make right now.

“You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don’t think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully.” ~ Tony Robbins

You can have control over your life. You can have the love, happiness, and good health that you desire. What happens in your life is up to you!

“It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.” ~ Leonardo da Vinci

You can determine your future, because what you experience tomorrow depends on what you think about today. It’s up to you! If your thoughts are constantly focused on sickness, depression, poverty, and restriction, those qualities will appear in your life. But, if you choose to dwell on health, happiness, abundance, and freedom…they will be yours! What you think about… you bring about.

Your thoughts have power. You can change your life by changing your thinking. You can use your mind and practice the process of thinking. You can make yourself think thoughts of what you want to be, do or have. You can choose to think as an optimist and have a positive view on life. You can choose steps of positive thinking or you can choose to think as a pessimist.

If you decide to really achieve something in your life – you will. It is all a matter of how you think about yourself and what you think you are capable of. The power of positive thinking is incredible.

You have the capability to think in a positive matter if you really want to, but way too often people resort to negative thinking and ideas that they are not able to do this or that. Unfortunately, the statements and sayings from our parents, people who work with us, friends, and society most often create a limiting belief system which effects the way we think. The way you perceive and interpret yourself is a result of the belief system you adopt.

Your built-in beliefs are very powerful. They are powerful in the sense that they dictate your ability to reach your goals. They are thoughts that are so ingrained they become automatic. You have been conditioned and programmed from birth. The thoughts people most often think aren’t necessarily “the truth”, they have simply been handed down from generation to generation.

A man is but the product of his thoughts – what he thinks, he becomes.
Mahatma Gandhi

You have beliefs, which are merely habits of though. Your beliefs are thousands of times stronger than desires. So if you desire something like a new house or getting a new job it will not happen if your beliefs are “I can’t”. Your beliefs win every time.

If you think you are beaten you are,

If you think you dare not, you don’t.

If you like to win, but you think you can’t,

It is almost certain you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost

for out of the world we find,

Success begins with your will—

It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, (aka broke) you are,

You’ve got to think high to rise.

You’ve got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win the prize.
