Get Out of Your Way
Have you ever heard someone tell you to get out of your own way? Did you look at them with a quizzical expression? It’s difficult to imagine that we would get in the way of our own goals and success, but it’s more common than you can imagine. And the more we protest that we are not in our own way, the more we are. If you want to attract people, events, and tangible objects into your life, you need to align your thoughts, words, and actions for success. The Law of Attraction (LOA) states that what we focus on we attract to us, therefore when your thoughts, words, and actions are focused on your goals, you create an unstoppable energy that propels all that you desire to you. Be unstoppable…Get out of your own way!!

Beliefs run your life from behind the scenes. They are buried beneath the surface like icebergs and what you are consciously aware of is only the tip of the iceberg. What exactly is a belief? It is your perception of reality, something you decided was true at some point in time, because you were either told it was true or you proved it to be so. Whether or not it is still true, the belief is a part of you and a determining factor in the results you get in your life—because beliefs govern your actions, reactions, thoughts, and feelings. Some are life-supporting, others self-defeatingYou must uncover what beliefs are running you so you can keep only the ones that support you and transform or eliminate the others.
You may take all the right actions; yet sabotage your success by not believing it is possible because you have never done it before. Or you may have destructive beliefs, formed in the past and useful at one time, such as: I’m not capable, deserving, good enough, smart enough, or worse. Because it seemed true then doesn’t mean it still is. And at the time you formed it, it probably wasn’t even true, it was just your perception. There are many ways to interpret experiences. Some negative ways are: “I’m a failure” or “I never get what I want.” These statements were your take on the experience and were not true. But you believed them and stored them as statements of truth according to you. Someone else might have thought: “I need to examine what didn’t work and fix it,” or “I’m proud of myself that I took the risk.” All these statements add positive reinforcement to this person’s belief system and they have a better chance of success next time.
Observe Your Belief System
Observe your beliefs by listening to your thoughts and words and trying to align the two. Write down the ones that don’t serve you well. Learn other ways to change your thoughts or words to empower your beliefs. The truth is that if you believe you will have success and reach higher limits, you will. Remember, whatever you believe, is what is your truth. So why not believe in yourself and your ability to have all the success and happiness you deserve?

Combining Thoughts and Words
When your thoughts don’t align with your actions, you’re driving with your foot on the gas and the brake at the same time. Your goals and actions are the gas, while the self-defeating thoughts and words are the brakes. Your thoughts and words are more powerful than the actions you take in pursuit of your goals. They create an energy that either supports or inhibits your success and speak more loudly and have more impact than anything you do in your outer world.
So the next time you set a goal, develop a plan, and take actions, remember to develop your inner plan along with your outer one to work together to achieve success. Think success, speak success, and act success and you will achieve it!

Success Mindset
A successful life begins with a success mindset, and that begins with your thoughts—as well as the words you speak primarily to yourself and also what you say to others. Some days you may wake up thinking that you’re never going to reach your goal, the economy is bad, you don’t have enough skills or time or money. Or you complain to someone that you’ve done so much and are still not seeing results. Or maybe you’ve done something you considered foolish and beat yourself up for it, calling yourself “stupid” or “loser” or even worse. Take control of your thoughts and you’ll see your life changing before your eyes.
The Power of Your Thoughts
Have you ever considered the power your thoughts and words have on your life? Most people don’t know or understand the significance that every single thought or word has in contributing to or blocking the results they expect out of life. They think all they need to do is set a goal, make a plan, take some action, and get results. Yet, results don’t show up and you wonder what you did wrong. From all appearances it seems as though you are doing the “right” things—on the outside anyway. But are you doing the right things on the inside? Setting and getting goals is both and inside and outside job. If you have not been getting the results you want following your outside plan for success, you might consider examining your inside plan for success.
