Your conscious mind knows nothing at all about these secret plans of sabotage and mayhem! It
thinks that it is trying really hard to achieve the things it wants. It can't understand why things
‘just’ keep going wrong. It is amazed that every time it gets close to achieving a major goal,
something always seems to go wrong at the last minute!
Digging Holes
Please understand that it is not enough just to say that you believe in yourself; you must really
believe in yourself. Similarly, it is not enough to work really hard towards your goals without
this belief in place. To give a silly example: You could work hard all week long digging a large
hole in the ground, then work hard all the following week filling
it in again! You would have put two weeks of solid effort into
something and achieved nothing!
Most people spend a lot of their lives digging holes and filling
them in again.
IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF YOU
ARE HANDSOMELY EQUIPPED TO FAIL!
No amount of effort on your part will assure your success. Amazingly, not even luck will work
for long. If your Great-Aunt Aggie left you a fortune, and yet you didn't believe that you were
worth leaving it to, then within a short while it would be gone, slipping away through your
fingers, frittered away on useless schemes and ideas. Spend on tinsel trivia, shiny baubles and
expensive designer toys.
Two Types of Belief
I have talked a little bit about one type of belief, the belief in your fundamental worth as a
human being, the belief that you deserve all the things you are striving for. This type of belief
stems from having a Positive Self Image.
I have called this type of belief PSI-belief, (Positive Self Image Belief).
The other type of belief is your belief in your ability to achieve your goals. This type of belief is easier to get than PSI-belief, but it is an equally important ingredient of your success equation.
I call this belief I-CAN belief.
Both of these beliefs must be in place before you can start seriously working towards your
major life-goals.
PSI BELIEF IS BELIEF IN YOURSELF
I-CAN BELIEF IS BELIEF IN YOUR
