Tony Robbins once said “if you want to take the island then burn your boats and you will take the island. Because people when they are going to either die or succeed, they tend to succeed. But most of us give ourselves a way out and that’s why we don’t have what we want.” I started thinking of all the times I said I would “try” or “do my best”. Why not just say "I’m going to figure out what to do and then do those things so that I will achieve what I want?" It’s easier said than done when you’re not used to thinking this way. First you have to think that it’s possible, and there’s no better way to start than to say “I believe I can do anything”, and then follow it up with closing your eyes and doing some deep breathing, holding the visualization of you having achieved your dream.
