As Aristotle wrote, “Whatever is impressed is expressed.”When you believe some-thing to be true, it becomes true for you, whatever the fact may be. “You are not what you think you are, but what you think, you are.” The child needs love like roses need rain.When children feel unloved, they feel unsafe and insecure. The two major fears we all develop are the fear of failure or loss and the fear of criticism or rejection.We begin to learn the fear of failure if we are continually criticized and punished when we try something new or different. We are shouted at and told, “No! Get away from there! Stop that! Put that down!” Physical punishment and the withholding of love, possibilities that scare us and make us feel insecure; often accompany these shouts and criticisms.We quit before we even try the first time.Instead of using our amazing minds to figure out how to get what we want, we use our reasoning ability to create reasons why we can’t, and why the things we want are not possible for us.We feel, “I can’t!” or “I have to!” continually. The worst feeling is when we feel, “I can’t, but I have to!” or “I have to, but I can’t!” “If you want to be successful faster, you must double your rate of failure. Success lies on the far side of failure.” The fact is that the more you have already failed, the more likely it is you are on the verge of great success. Your failures have prepared you to succeed. This is why a streak of good luck seems to follow a streak of bad luck. When in doubt, “double your rate of failure.”The more things you try, the more likely you are to triumph. You overcome your fears only by doing the thing you fear until the fear has no more control over you. Your self-concept precedes and predicts your levels of performance. All improvement in your life therefore begins with an improvement in your self-concept. The very worst beliefs you can have are self-limiting beliefs of any kind.The starting point of unlocking your potential, and accomplishing more than you ever have before, is for you to challenge your self- limiting beliefs. You begin this process of freeing yourself from self-limiting beliefs by imagining that, whatever they are, they are completely untrue. The starting point of eliminating your fears, and releasing your potential, is to reprogram your mental hard drive with new, positive, constructive, and courageous beliefs about yourself and your future.Throughout this book, you will learn how to do this. People with high self-esteem are virtually unstoppable.
