#204 Argue for Your Limitations - The Messiah's Handbook

Argue for your limitations,
and sure enough,

they're yours.

Another saying from the Messiah's Handbook.

How many times have you heard yourself or others make a statement that they just couldn't do something? Statements like these:
  • I can't remember names.
  • I can't do algebra.
  • I never could do... (you fill in the blank.)
Many of us fall into that trap. We tend to victimize ourselves this way. Maybe it is easier to make such statements. We all tend to sell ourselves short. And, that is too bad. Do we do it because we are lazy? Do we do it because we really don't love/respect ourselves? Do we really believe we are relatively worthless?

If this statement ("If you believe you can or you believe you can't, you are right") attributed to Henry Ford is correct, then it is easy to understand why we are where we find ourselves. Knowing that, I am always puzzled why we don't program ourselves for more positive results.

I would like to suggest you all to begin to pay attention to your statements for only a day. Do this to get an understanding of your point of view. Then you must decide if that is how you want to view the world. The next step is to spend a day choosing language that better reflects how you really want to view the world.

You will be amazed how you can change your life to be more positive should you choose that path. For another view about this you might read "The Law of Attraction." It is quite enlightening.

In the meantime....

Serve others, care about those you serve and share the love in your heart.

Thanks to Richard Bach, Illusions, Delacorte Press, 1977.

Peter, that is your name, isn't it. Thanks. :-D

Darlene, you are a very special person whom I have come to admire, respect, and enjoy knowing.

There is no doubt in my mind that you will do it.
