Do you have a childlike or childish belief in yourself?

Gordon shares great content on how our childlike belief that we are indestructible can be a positive driving us forwards our goals while a childish belief in unrealistic targets and goals can leave a wake of destruction and unfinished projects.

You need to achieve the right balance and this episode is a great way to start.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Through life, we find our own boundaries but sometimes boundaries about what we can and can’t do are imposed on us by others
• You can achieve more if you set your goals higher
• It’s about having an open mindset  about what you can achieve
• There are those who no matter what their previous outcomes are enthusiastic and successful and at the other end of the spectrum are those who don’t understand why you would even try.
• It about trying to achieve a position of balance
• The downside of enthusiasm is that it can be unrealistic and mean not completing anything
• You can find you have moved from childlike belief in yourself to childish belief and faith in yourself
• Childlike belief is believing you can achieve if you do the right things
• Childish belief is setting unrealistic goals and targets
• Childlike belief is understanding if you do the right things and work hard you will achieve your goals
• Childish belief is thinking you could achieve your goal without learning, working hard and practice
• If you know you can do something you are more likely to finish it and make the effort
