Elimination is required to have a new future, one unlike
the past. Successful people know and follow this rule.
It sounds simple... eliminate some old behaviors, habits,
actions and a new future appears.
If it is so easy, why is it that I see so many sales and
business people stuck in old behaviors? How many times each
day do we hear people say, "I can't do that" or "I could never
do that" or complain and use the word "they" ... "they are
doing this" or "they did this to me" ... I would like to know
who is the "they," have you ever met them? When I hear
myself think or say "they" I really know it's me... it's me
creating this life for me in whatever form it shows up in.
For me to have a new future I have to be willing to
eliminate some old behaviors and thinking. In the Universe,
nature abhors a vacuum. Have you ever opened a new jar of
anything that was packed in a vacuum? What happens? Air rushes
in to fill that space.
The same thing will happen in our lives if we create space
for something new to come in. The following is a list of
some possible things that we could all eliminate: Lack of integrity, listening to bad news as a habit,
gossip, low energy, lying, money worries, needing to be right,
negative thinking, non-disciplined behavior, not listening,
procrastination, repeating mistakes, resentment, resignation,
sadness, saying yes when I mean no, scarcity thinking, self
limiting thoughts, worry of future, breaking our word, giving
up on dreams, lack of commitment, dirty car, dirty desk, not
getting my price, self pity talk, self criticism, quitting
early in the day, not making one more call, not asking for the
order, not recognizing upset in others, not being in a
relationship, not being vulnerable, settling for less...
etc...etc...
Review the list and add some of your own...
Eliminate today and create space for something new... a new
future would be fun, unless you like being stuck in the past.
Maybe you could eliminate that.
Gratefully yours,
Steve
