Yes, we are going to get this show on the road. Absolutely. No two ways about it. Welcome back, Mr. Fantastik.
Right by your side. And this is going to be the first in a series of 30 podcasts from the book day by day with James Allen written by Vic Johnson. James Allen wrote the book as a man thinketh. If you have not put that into your reading library highly, highly suggest that you do that as quickly as you possibly can.
A very short book that has mountains, a wonderful one. Great meat that will feed your mind fantastically. So we're going to rock and roll here with the first of the 30, and this is called accept. No limits. A person is limited only by the thoughts that he chooses as a man. Think of. Mr. Johnson's rights, are not limited to the life you now live.
It has been accepted by you as the best you can do at this moment. Anytime you're ready to go beyond the limitations currently in your life. You're capable of doing that by choosing. Different thoughts or, you know,
[email protected]. We don't believe in obstacles. We believe in opportunities to grow.
And that's one of the aspects of choosing different thoughts. The other aspect that you know, we address all the time is worry, doubt, and fear.
[email protected]. We have a saying worry, doubt, and fear. You are not welcome here. So our perspective on how we view everything in life is a determining factor in how quickly we grow and how much better enabled we are to serve.
All of mankind. Johnson goes on to say, we each earned the income we do today because that is the amount we have limited ourselves to earn. We could easily earn 5, 10, 15, 20 times more. If we did not limit ourselves to the thoughts that we currently maintain, I give that a little bit of thought.
We limit ourselves in so many areas of life, by the thoughts we choose the thoughts we entertain, the thoughts we continue to repeat hour after hour, day after day, you don't believe that this is true. Surely, you know, people who earn much more than you, who don't have your education skills, your intelligence, your capabilities.
So why do they earn more than you? It's a matter of choice of thoughts. I like to share this story from several decades ago. There was this CEO of, I guess, about a $300 million company at the time. And he couldn't get out of his way. And sometimes even though he had problems tying his shoes. I just couldn't figure it out.
I'm sure you have had many instances along with that same category. It doesn't matter. It's, you know, it's, for me, it's, it's not a jealousy or envy factor. It, I guess is amazing and amusing at times. So let us take the next step. Let us say, Hey, I can do a lot better than this in all of my services. And I am worth far more than I'm currently being incompetent.
So here's a great story. This is the story of George Dan Zik. And Cynthia Kurzy wrote about this in her book on stoppable as a college student, George studied, very hard and always late into the night. So late that he overslept one morning arriving 20 minutes late for class. He quickly copied the two maths problems on the board, assuming they were the homework.
It took him several days to work through the two problems, but finally, he had a breakthrough and drop the homework off on the professor's desk. The next day later on a Sunday morning, George was awakened at 6:00 AM by his excited professor since George wasn't late for the class. He hadn't heard that the professor announced that these two unsolvable equations on the board were mathematical minds, teasers that even Einstein hadn't been able to answer, but George Dansik working without any kind of thoughts of limitations had solved.
Not. But two problems had stumped mathematicians for thousands of years. How about that folks? How about that? Okay. There was no doubt, no worry, no fear. George jumped in with both feet and said, Hey, well, let's see what's going on here. You see, he didn't look at it as an option. He looked at i
