The Real Reason You Get Stuck, and 3 Steps to Move toward Your Vision When You Do

Have you conditioned yourself for ultimate success?

In other words, have you trained yourself to remain committed to your goal, no matter what?

And I really mean No Matter What.

Maybe you believe you have. Maybe you know you haven’t, but you’re working on it.

Too often, in the pursuit of our goals, we stop at the problem.

What does that look like?

It may mean that there’s a live event you want to attend, but you believe that because you live far away, you can’t attend it.

Truth moment: I’m fighting this right now in my own life.

It may mean that you’re passionate about starting and running a world-changing business, but you believe that because you’re a parent, you can’t spend time or energy on entrepreneurship.

It may mean that you believe you need to put boundaries up because you give so much that you have no time for yourself.

It may mean that you believe you’re not smart enough—or have the financial freedom— to build the business you want.

All of these “reasons” for not relentlessly pursuing your goals are indicators of not having the bandwidth or belief to reach your objectives! They’ll prevent you from staying committed to your vision.

The challenge here is that we often believe these reasons are not only true but that they’re also impassable. We condition ourselves to stop when we encounter them.

What if these thoughts weren’t so powerful?
What if you could travel past or over those reasons and continue moving toward your vision?

What if you could condition yourself for ultimate success?

I want you to ask yourself that question: What if?

One day, he drove to the airport to travel to a faraway city for a speaking engagement. When he got to the airport, all the flights to his destination had been canceled due to weather.

But he was committed to keeping his speaking engagement.

The ticket girl kept telling him, “I’m sorry, Mr. Dyer. All of the flights are canceled. There is nothing we can do.”

He didn’t focus on making her look harder, pushing her to work, forcing her to figure out a new flight for him.

Instead, he worked on her mindset.

He said, “Would you just be open to the possibility that there could be a flight available?”

The story goes that he made this request with a smile on his face—and that she was laughing as she listened to him.

And I’m sure by now you can guess what happened. The ticket girl found a flight for Wayne Dyer. She flew him to another city, and from that city to his destination, where he arrived in time to follow through on his speaking engagement.

Wayne Dyer was fiercely committed to his vision.

Often when we encounter a problem when we’re trying to get something done, we immediately become frustrated.

But what if you could take the …read more
