Stop Blaming Circumstances

August 6th, 2008 by Ingrid Cliff

I received this great email from Bob Proctor on Insight of the Day.

The greatest stumbling block to achieving anything of importance in your life is circumstances. We let circumstances get us off the hook when we should be giving it everything we’ve got. More dreams are shattered and goals lost because of circumstances than any other single factor.

How often have you caught yourself saying, “I would like to do or have this but I can’t because…?” Whatever follows “because” is the circumstance.

Successful people use circumstances to catapult them on toward their goal, while the masses use them as road blocks. A circumstance may cause a detour in your life but you should never permit it to stop you. …

The next time you hear someone say they would like to vacation in Paris, or purchase a particular automobile but they can’t because they have no money. Tell them they don’t need any money. …

Explain they don’t need the money until they make a decision to go to Paris or purchase the car. When the decision is made, they will figure out a way to get the amount needed. They always do.

The circumstance they are using is one of the most common: a lack of money. The real cause of their problem is lack of decision. You always attract what you need when you decide it must be done. Try this yourself today. You know the task you have been putting off “because…” Make a decision, forget the circumstance … but get it done!

I see this a lot with small business owners. Once they make a deep heartfelt decision to fix their webcopy because they want to attract new clients, even before we have finished with theĀ  web copy and it goes live, new customers start appearing for them. I don’t know why it works - but it does!

So as Bob says - what is a task you have been putting off “because …”. Make a decision to getĀ  it done today.

Until next time
