Don't be a victim of your circumstances

“People who consider themselves victims of their circumstances will always remain victims unless they create a greater vision for their lives”-Stedman Graham

If you think you can of you think you cannot you are write

So many successful businessmen and women came from the most horrific circumstances, yet they refused to become victims, they created a greater vision for themselves. It is impossible to achieve something if you firmly believe that you cannot achieve it, on the other hand is it easy to achieve something you believe you can do.

Achievement is not measured in short term goals but in long term accomplishments. Create challenging goals, goals that make sense to have and you will feel yourself parting from your current circumstances. Your past circumstances have created limitations in your mind, and these limitations need to be removed in order for you to cross those barriers.

An Example of these limitations might be: You never had anybody helping you in your life; you therefore believe that help is not for you, you believe that nobody will help you. This can have devastating results in your journey through life. For example you will never start anything if you need capital to do so, as you will believe that no bank will help you. You first need to remove that limitation refuse to be a victim of your past, and take that step towards a greater vision.

This was only one example of a limitation created by your circumstances.

A good exercise to do:

Write your goals down, and start visualizing the results, if your mind tells you that you cannot achieve it, ask the question why? Write the action that you think impossible down, make a list of all these impossibilities. Once you have this list, write the reason you cannot next to each one, if you cannot find a reason you might not have one. Now take the reasons you found and ask once again why?

Make sure none of these reasons are limitations created by you as a result of your circumstances.

How do I test for this? Easy

If anybody else can do this so can you, if your mind tells you that you cannot it is a limitation set by yourself for yourself.

Remove these limitations, and set greater visions for yourself
