Success. No matter how we define it, we all want it.
And yet we are so often afraid to stand up and go after it without some sort of “proof” that our risk, our efforts, our vulnerability during the process of reaching will not meet with failure.
So, does this “proof” actually exist? Sure! But the kicker is that you must furnish it for yourself!
And here’s one way to do it: Rather than trying to “take control of your emotions” (…uhm, how’s that worked out for ya so far?…), instead just follow these 3 simple steps, and Act On Rational Thoughts Only:
Step 1: Complete a Thought. Which looks like this: Cause + Effect + Outcome.
Step 2: Practice Completing a Thought until you can do it Quickly, Consistently, and Thoroughly.
Step 3: Apply to ALL Thoughts.
I guarantee that if you can discipline yourself to Act On Rational Thoughts rather than acting on your emotional ones (i.e. feelings), you will (a) SEE yourself achieving whatever you set out to achieve, and (b) find your self-confidence soaring to new heights. And then what more “proof” will you need? 🙂
Give it a try – the only thing you risk losing is self-doubt.
