Mel’s Morning Musings 2 - Stop Self-Sabotage Season 1 Episode 143


You may not realize it but a lot of times we sabotage our own success. Subconsciously we actually don’t want ourselves to succeed. I know that sounds strange, but you will find that nine times out of ten it’s true. 


Why would that be? … Why would we self-sabotage our own success?

It sounds counterintuitive, right? Well, it is!

And I think the reason for this is because we’re actually more fearful of succeeding than we are at failure. In some odd way we’re okay to accept failure. We expect ourselves to fail and with that mindset, of course we almost in a way, draw that failure to us. We actually make ourselves fail, because of that mindset. 


So … just take a moment and think about how many times this has been true in your life. How many times have you actually self-sabotaged your own success? Big or small, it doesn’t matter. Whether it’s making excuses, you know, and they all sound really … really good excuses, as to the reasons why not to do something. But at the end of the day, you’ve succeeded to set yourself up for failure.


How can we change that mindset? … How can we reverse our thinking?


First of all we’ve got to get rid of this thing of accepting failure as an option. Don’t give yourself an option to fail. Do the opposite! The only option you should give yourself is, “I will succeed somehow, someway!”, and then proceed to go and do that. 

Obtain that goal!

Don’t allow yourself to quit!

Don’t allow yourself to give excuses as to the reasons why it won’t work for you!


Success is available for everyone, 

no matter what your walk of life is, 

no matter who you are.

Success is waiting … waiting on you to pick up the reins and see that thing through, whatever it is, … business idea … anything … whatever it is that you are going for the goal it’s waiting on you to see it through. 


Don’t give yourself an option to quit.

You will succeed if your pursue that thing and see it through to the end.


Test this theory, I think you’ll be surprised
