Message of the Day - The Barrier to Success called YOU

Good Morning,

 

Welcome new recipients!

 

My latest read was Spencer Johnson’s “’Yes’ or ‘No’: The Guide to Better Decisions” (http://www.whomovedmycheese.com/spencerjohnson/Books.html). The book shows how to create a map to making better decisions by employing both your mind and your heart into the big decisions in life. Not only must you think through the decision to know it is the best, you must also feel through it, and when you see the decision is best with both your head and heart, and then you will make better decisions.

 

There are two questions that are asked. The first is asking the mind, the second is asking the heart:

 

·         Am I meeting the real need, informing myself of options, and thinking it through? Yes or No.

·         Does my decision show I am honest with myself, trust my intuition, and deserve better? Yes or No.

 

The part that caught my attention was the tail end of the book, asking yourself; Do I deserve better?

 

Interestingly enough, many of us do not feel that we deserve better, and in fact we often settle for less than we could get. We expect someone to treat us poorly, so we accept it. We expect service to be poor so we accept it. That is, a barrier is put up between us and achieving more of what we want, because we put that barrier there which stops us.

 

By asking if we deserve better in each situation, we are helping ourselves raise the bar on what we feel we deserve in our lives.

 

We can have the better job, we can have the better relationship, and we can have the better whatever we want, starting by allowing ourselves to have it and removing that barrier.

 

When you have a decision to make, remember to ask yourself if you deserve better and if the answer is yes, then allow yourself to accept it. Otherwise, as Todd Arwood often says “If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got”.

 

You deserve better!

 

Enjoy!
