What Keeps Some People From Success

We begin to believe our fears and excuses are true even when they are not. We have to believe they are true because if they are not true we would be lying when we use them as excuses or reasons to defend ourselves to others as to why we are not doing what we could in the business.
We convince ourselves they are really valid reasons and therefore we begin to act like they are true. We act in accord with what we believe to be real.
This self-validation and forcing ourselves to believe they are real reasons that we can't do it, cause us to not be able to see the real reasons, fear, insecurities and prevent our having success. Other people sense we have insecurity, fears and lack of confidence so they don’t want to entrust their financial future or health concerns to us.
We must break free from the limiting blocking power of those untrue subconscious beliefs that we had to hold on to, to protect us from rejection or criticism from others. And most of the time even if done poorly or roughly those who criticized us were really trying to help us.
But we did not want to be free from our reasons because then we would have no excuses and we would have to admit we just weren't doing it, we didn’t want it enough to do what it takes. So we become resistant, begin to resent, dislike or are aggressive against those who try to help us see that our reasons are really just excuses. Even though they are the rare people we need to encourage us to see our blind spots and set ourselves free. Crazy!!
So who are we left with? Our current peer group who are doing only what we are doing and who won’t motivate us to anything more. They even try to keep us from rising to more success because that would make them feel bad that they aren't working for a better life too. And they would have to admit that they could have more and that they are not really satisfied with what they have as well as face their future. This is unpleasant and we don't know how to solve it so we pretend we are happy. But only for so long, then we burn out, get ill, and or depressed from thee stress, anxiety and lack of satisfying happiness.
Solution:
Beg others to help us see our blind spots, hire coaches or whatever it takes to see the excuses our just blocks to protect us from admitting our real feelings. Why not let go of the excuses, deny them as being valid reasons, admit they do not really prevent us from talking to people, and get in touch with what the real feelings are that tempt you to avoid it. Then you can get coaching n how to resolve and move beyond them and do what you really want to do and have the life of your dreams!
Then just go do it? Do it poorly so others know they can do it poorly and get better over time. Ask for the coaching to learn how to advertise and invite. Stay involved with successful people even if they aren't perfect in how they work with you. Obviously they are good enough for plenty of people to get you successful or they would not have done it before. So drop your judgmental attitude of them. It’s only a preference and difference.
Be willing to take responsibility for the fact we just aren't doing what we could.
Then when we no longer need the excuses and we can admit they don't prevent us and we can be free to have success and go offer what we have to those who are interested.
Others will see the new Freedom of conscience in us, confidence and peace and those who want a better life will be attracted to us and believe us.

You can stay self-deceived and depressed and have the same future as others who won’t grow and risk and learn to go through difficulties. That’s why they make anti-depressants, anti-anxiety and other fine drugs.
