Andy Henry started an interesting thread yesterday about how so many people sabotage their own success by putting 'but' obstacles in their own way. Obstacles are funny things. When we use our conscious minds we tend to assess the size of the obstacle and jump over the ones we feel comfortable with. That way lies progress. But our subconscious works differently. It doesn't have the means to assess scale: an obstacle is an obstacle no matter how big or small it might be. When we allow our subconscious to determine our progress, it normally has to wait at each obstacle until it sees proof that it can safely pass. That's why we have to force ourselves to do things that we are uncomfortable about - so that the subconscious can see that it wasn't an obstacle at all. Then we move on and up. To do this requires the most important tool in our mental toolbox of all: motivation. Motication literally moves mountains. By total coincidence I wrote a short article in my newsletter yesterday about motivation - and so rather than hijack Andy's thread by moving into a slightly different topic, I'll put it here. Quote:

That is very true. That fits right inline with one of the 5 points I have made in my latest ebook. That point is TAKE ACTION!
