Do you tell yourself ‘No’? That it can’t be done? That you are inadequate? For the task? The job at hand? Well, you are right.
Do you tell yourself
‘Yes’? That it can be done? That you are good enough? Maybe, excellent at
getting the job done? Again, you are right.
For we become what we
tell ourselves. What we only allow ourselves to be. What we permit ourselves to
be.
This, then, is the
difference between those who can’t and those who can. The cowardly and the
bold. The naysayers and the adventurers. The poor and the millionaire.
For while the poor man
curses, blaming everyone for his present circumstances – the government, his
parents, his employer, his landlord…
The millionaire
tarries not, for he looks inwards. He says to himself, “This can be done.” And
affirming himself so, he asks that million-dollar question: “How can it be
done?”
If he lacks the
skill-set for getting the job done, he gets another with the requisite
skill-set. If he lacks the resources, he convinces others to put their money
into the project.
The millionaire’s
faith is unshakeable. He is all grit, all getting down to business. Getting
things done. He levels mountains. He fills up oceans. He tells his story
boldly, with conviction… and the world hears him. The world bends to his will.
And so, we have cars
and planes and ships and railroads and banks and nations… for there were those
with the millionaire’s mindset who made all these possible. Your choice – I
can, I can’t. Either way, they say – You are right.
