Nip limited thinking in the bud with this “Secret” post
January 12th, 2008 by Lani VoivodOne of my best friends got me one of those Page-a-Day calendars for Christmas.
To be honest, I usually get at least one of these every year, and more often than not, I end the year with the first few torn off, and then the rest of the year’s block of paper intact. I forget to read them, I don’t find them useful or interesting, or I just can’t be bothered.
This year, though, she got me the Page-a-Day calendar from “The Secret.” You know, the big Law of Attraction movie-book-viral marketing success story? (No doubt the musical will be coming later this year. ;))
So far, every day this year, I’ve been excited to read the little pages of insight and inspiration.
I believe in the Law of Attraction. I’ve seen it work in our lives and business. It makes sense to me. I want to get better at using it to manifest the things we want in our lives — more laughter, fun, time, money, freedom, creativity, etc. All those nice things that make life worthwhile.
I thought I’d share today’s little blurb here, because it’s definitely one of the biggest blocks I’ve seen for solo professionals, micropreneurs, and small business owners.
From The Secret page-a-day calendar for January 12th:
If you have held thoughts in the past that the only way money can come to you is through your job, then let that go immediately. Can you appreciate that as you continue to think that, it must be your experience? Such thoughts do no serve you.
So many of us unwittingly set our own limits about what we can do, how much we can make, and how money can flow into our lives. “I tried that and it didn’t work.” “No, that wouldn’t work for me.” Or “I couldn’t possibly make money doing THAT.”
Just like what Allen and I tell our 5-year-old son, and what he now parrots back to us on a nearly daily basis (and what good old Henry Ford said:
Whether you say you can or say you can’t, you’re right.
