Stop pushing what you want away until you decide you don’t want it anymore.
5.) I’m too fat. "I’m too fat to go out to networking meetings and market myself. Who would want to hire me?" "I’m too fat to take professional photos for my website." "I’m too fat to get a date. No one will ever want to marry me."
Admittedly, I’ve heard these declarations from women far more than men, but a few of my male clients have said it too in reference to why they think they may have gotten passed over for a promotion or not getting hired for a new job.
While I won’t say that weight discrimination may not be at play in some cases, the bigger obstacle is how you feel about yourself.
If you believe that you are fat and feel self-conscious you will present yourself differently. When you aren’t confident and someone else is-they will likely get the date or the job over you.
6.) I’m not educated enough. Bill Gates quit college before earning his degree. There are countless stories of high school children who have opened businesses that have hit a million in sales.
Education doesn’t equal success.
If what you want to do requires a higher level degree than what you possess, figure out a way to get it.
7.) I’m too OR I’m not. Are you seeing a pattern here? Search your language and see if you’re shutting yourself down by believing in a perceived obstacle.
If you are, stop now and go take an action to pursue your dream. These obstacles do not need to stop you from achieving success and fulfillment in life.
Think about the grandma who said that if she could do something she thought impossible at age 70, what else could she have done in her life, then ask yourself, "What could I do if only believed I could?"
