From Failure to Success with Positive Thinking

by Kevin Hogan

Finding The Real Origin of Failure Is Part of the Solution

That means, the feelings of panic and humiliation CAN be eliminated.

Uncovering the causes of specific behaviors or habits, who we were "trying to be like," and so forth, can be particularly useful in unhooking these habits decades later...and I'll show you how you can do all of these things.

And you can forget what the gurus tell you: Change is TOUGH.

It's hard to lose weight and keep it off. Period.

It's hard to quit smoking for those who have a physical addiction. Period.

It's hard for those who procrastinate to develop self-discipline. Period.

Hard...but not impossible.

In fact...just because something is "hard" doesn't mean it can't be done. It means it just requires a bit more thought and carefully designed effort.

Knowing HOW and WHY and WHEN these behaviors and habits were "wired in" makes the process of change go more smoothly, and typically a lot more quickly.

But again, it really is challenging to unhook nonconscious thoughts and behaviors.

When we are unaware not only of why we embrace or avoid certain things, but also are unaware of the fact that we are embracing or avoiding them, pinpointing the roots of our actions can be a difficult process.

Think back with me...

Childhood lessons don't always come from our parents, and often not even the messages we received from them were intentionally placed there.

For example, if your parents raised you to be helpful to others, courteous to others, polite to others, and always giving.... you may have learned those lessons so well that the very idea of doing something for yourself makes you cringe - and you can only WONDER WHY....

FAILURE Manifests In Strange Ways!

In other words, you have an opportunity to do something that would be great or exciting, or fun....and you don't do it... for some weird reason!

Yeah...you know too....

We'll talk about those things later too....

Most people never consider that when they were kids, outside influences affected the creation of all these attitudes, behaviors, habits and beliefs.

Teachers, daycare workers or babysitters, school friends, even random adults in the grocery store may have had an impact on your behaviors and beliefs, whether consciously or unconsciously.

Though it is impossible to determine all of your childhood influences, you can give yourself a general idea of past events and personalities that shaped your current beliefs and then take real steps to change them.

Today I want to give you one brief exercise that will help you get started thinking about habits and their triggers.

Don't be surprised if this exercise brings up some emotions. That's to be expected...
