The Personal Prison You Built Yourself
|
Reader: The greatest barriers to success are often the ones we create in our own minds. (click image below for the video version) Morning Minute 7.7.26 The Personal Prison You Built Yourself In the movie Braveheart, William Wallace rides before his men shouting one unforgettable word: "Freedom!" Most people think of freedom as something governments either protect or deny. But there is another kind of freedom. Every day, countless people delay their success by remaining prisoners of their own thinking. Here are seven of the most common mental prisons that quietly rob people of success. The Prison of Regret The Prison of Fear The Prison of Envy The Prison of Bad Habits The Prison of Unforgiveness The Prison of Worry The Prison of Self-Doubt The life you experience and your future success are shaped by what you choose to focus on. Don't allow yesterday's mistakes, today's fears, or someone else's success to become the walls of your prison. Freedom begins the moment you take responsibility for your own thoughts, your own attitude, and your own actions. Choose freedom. Choose discipline. Choose to keep moving forward. And remember: Information without transformation is wasted energy! Keep Learning. Keep Leading. That is today's Morning Minute. *** Please feel free to share or use this message and/or video as a discussion starter for any training session or organizational meeting.
