Home | Self Improvement | Success Needless to say, I was flabbergasted when I ready this story. And it led me to consider that there are numerous potential such crocodile infested waters that we must learn to traverse daily in our lives if we are to reach our goals. This led me to ask, what are the crocodiles in our lives that can prevent us from achieving our dreams? I believe the ugliest and the baddest of the crocodiles are the crocodiles that lurk in our own minds. Specifically, they are the self limiting beliefs and other thoughts that don't serve us, but which we insist on hanging onto. I'm willing to bet that each of us has thousands of self limiting beliefs that we buy into every day. Often without even realizing that's what we are doing. When considering what it takes to be successful, just imagine what it must have taken for those 20 surviving Japanese soldiers to make their way to the other side of the swamps. How did they manage to avoid being eaten? In order to make it past those hungry crocodiles, you must learn to start from the end. By being larger than yourself in terms of your goals and vision, and trusting in the magic of your belief, you will learn to follow-through with unwavering persistence. When you finally reach that moment when you really, truly believe in what is possible -- well beyond what you may have previously considered -- it's magical. When you have breakthrough success in a new venture (be it a home business, a new project, venture or otherwise), this is often what you experience . You may have started out doing what you knew you had to do simply because you saw a process that made logical sense to you and you see an opportunity that is so attractive and appealing. The tipping point comes when, as the results begin manifesting, you finally believe completely in what you can do and suddenly those lingering doubts disappear. You see the progress you are making and become inspired to create a vision larger than yourself that you believe in unequivocally - and that is when everything about your progress suddenly explodes exponentially. Imagine how impenetrable those soldiers' belief in their ability to cross the swamps must have been and the degree of doubt they had to overcome in order for them to survive. Consider the spectacle of the feeding frenzy amongst the crocodiles and how it must have looked and sounded. The degree of fear and self limiting beliefs each soldier had to overcome is astounding. And consider the degree of commitment and follow-through that was absolutely necessary to make it to the other side. Everything relied upon instant decisions and follow-through if they were to survive. There was no room for hesitation. Just as few of the soldiers survived, so too do few people ever survive the crossing of the infested mangroves in their minds that would enable them to live out their dreams and goals. For those that do, it is because of their tremendous focus and vision, their absolute belief in that vision, and their persist without exception follow-through towards their dreams. These are the basic ingredients which can be used to determine the thoughts we choose, the beliefs we foster, and the actions we take, which of course ultimately define the path to our own success. And these ingredients are available to each of us. There are tremendous opportunities and enormous waves of momentum that are out there to be ridden. Opportunities abound everywhere. But in order to catch a wave, each of us needs to be prepared to swim out to it. It is our own vision, belief and follow-through that will determine which of us will get there. If 20 Japanese soldiers were able to cross 10 miles of mangrove swamps and overcome thousands of saltwater crocodiles, then it stands to reason that any of us can navigate the swamps in our minds and can achieve anything we choose to achieve. Anything can be achieved except to the extent to which we impose limits upon ourselves. By surrounding yourself with like minded people who hold th same depth of belief and vision as you have, you will quickly be able to leverage the strength and support of an entire team. So never, ever find reason to put limits upon yourself. So concquer those self limiting beliefs, stare down the crocodiles, and keep on swimming! Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
