A very good friend of mine just emailed me something that DEMANDED my attention. He is a guy who places no limits on himself or his ability. He is a pretty incredible fellow whose talent in karate has to be seen to be believed. In fact, the word “devastating” comes to mind. Anyway…

… he knows I am “into” this motivational stuff as well and we regularly email back and forth and talk even though he lives some 2,000 miles away on the other side of this vast continent of Australia. But what he sent me today SHOCKED me and I just had to stop what I was doing - on the spot - IMMEDIATELY - and share it with you.

It’s all about having NO limits.

You see, I hear people say things like “I could NEVER do that” or “I’m just not lucky” or “I’m not smart enough” or blah… blah… blah… Excuses, excuses, excuses!

Some of you will know that I wrote a pretty hard-hitting article on EXCUSIOLOGY in Garry Parkes‘ second newsletter for the Profit Pulling Project.

So, you know I don’t like excuses - even when they are dressed up as “reasons.” It’s the SAME dog, just a different leg action.

Excuses limit people.

In fact, I have a very near and dear relative who says “I can’t” before virtually EVERYTHING they say. And every time I hear it I wince and say “Yes, you can!” To which this person immediately retorts, “No, I can’t.” And then we go yes, no, yes, no, yes, no. But it always ends with a big fat NO! Sadly, this beloved person is always BEATEN and cowed before they even start - not that they ever will. Coz this person convinces themself that it is a WASTE of time even trying. Jeez. That CRAP NON-THINKING makes my blood boil!

I HATE this garbage because this is a person who I dearly love. This person was totally devoted to me as a kid growing up. And that may help to explain why I am like I am. So, there’s a hint to the identity of this person.

But it’s not just within my family. I hear people say it everywhere. All the time. And that is why most people FAIL. Coz, they never even start. And if you never start how can you ever win?

OK. Now you know what I am on about here… so I wanna ask you something…

Are you LIMITING yourself? What does that little voice inside your head say most often? Does it say…

“Yes, I’ll give it a crack!”
or
“No, what makes YOU think YOU can do that?”
or
Don’t be so STUPID! THAT is for OTHER people. NOT you… loser!”

Well, what is it? Coz you KNOW, don’t you? That little voice is already talking, isn’t it? You KNOW whether you are a “can do” person or a “can’t do” person. And I know you know. OK…

NOW tell me you can’t do something! Go on. Tell me! WHAT can’t you do? WHAT?

You really have NO limits! Only the FALSE ones that you put on yourself.

So, get out there and bloody-well do the thing you fear! Do it and overcome it and you will GROW. And the experience you get will allow you to do it again, and again. And you will become a stronger, more capable and better person.

The world is full of lilly-livered weak people who can’t even make simple decisions. Don’t be one. Overcome your fears and phobias. You really have NO limits! You only have to prove it to yourself.
