Brain Power - Video Challenges Your Beliefs

August 14, 2008 · Posted in Change, Choices, Inspiration, Motivation, Self-help 

What would you do (or be) if you knew you could not fail?

That question changes things – doesn’t it?  It kinda complicates your thinking process and makes you focus on what you really want – that’s scary.

Besides, most people don’t know “what they want”.  They are too focused on what they “don’t want”.

  • I don’t want to be poor.
  • I don’t want to be disrespected.
  • I don’t want to be in debt.
  • I don’t want to be fat.
  • I don’t want to go to work.

Would you dare to pursue your dream if it meant leaving the comfort of mediocrity?

You cannot improve yourself and stay the same.  What will you choose?  And the choice is up to you.

Until you accept the idea that you are responsible for your life – nothing will ever change.  No amount of wishing and hoping or dreaming will change a thing.  Change is the result of decision that is acted upon.

Decide what you want - then get busy.

Would you dare to have more than your friends?

The quick and easy answer is yes, but it’s really not so simple.  You’ve got a lot of time and energy invested in your friendships.  Are you willing to jeapardize that?

Growth changes a person (so many people overlook this obvious fact), which can scare others.  Plus it can make them uncomfortable because they have to ask themselves why and how you were able to achieve your “new” accomplishments.  I mean you’re the same person, right?

Here’s a thought - your income is the average of your five closest friends and associates.  Test it for yourself.

Who determines what is possible?

This is an easy question.  The answer is everyone but you.  Right?

  • You can’t help your lot in life.
  • You don’t have an education.
  • You’re not smart enough.
  • You don’t have the time.
  • You don’t know where to start.
  • You don’t have the “connections”.

We see what we believe is possible

You’ve probably heard the phrase “I’ll believe it when I see it”.  That’s not true.  We “see” what we believe.  If we don’t think a thing is possible, then we won’t believe it - even when we do see it.

Our perception clouds and determines our reality.  As long as you limit yourself with outdated ideas and beliefs, you will never see (or be) anything new.

Keith Barry will make you question what is possible.

What do you believe is possible for you and your life?

    Great article there to remind us not to let the comfort of familiarity and the fear of the unknown stand in our way of striving for our goals and dreams.

    Kudos too for a great video. That was so unreal. Think I’ll give it a shot at believing that this is really possible rather than just justifying that it is a trick. :)

    Hi Ethan,

    I’m a decided believer too.

    Thanks Chris

    Hi Joe - Nothing happens without effort. If you just say “I will make a million in a day” but spend all day watching tv, then I doubt that you will.

    That was pretty insane. That chick was scared for her life. There a lot of people who are successful and it is all because they dreamed big and worked hard, so who is to say what we can accomplish!

    Damin,

    Only you can determine what you will accomplish.

    The video was amazing, although I remain a skeptic. Not sure how he did it, but there must be more to it than meets the eye. As for what’s possible, I do agree that we are limited by our own self-doubts and expectations. Breaking free from that is no easy task, but I suspect those that do accomplish far more than they would have otherwise.

    Great post. I liked it.

    I agree… nothing will happen without taking some kind of action. If you do nothing, you get nothing. This is self-evident.
