Barbara Sher said, “Imaginary obstacles are insurmountable. Real ones aren’t. But you can’t tell the difference when you have no real information. Fear can create even more imaginary obstacles than ignorance can. That’s why the smallest step away from speculation and into reality can be an amazing relief. The Reality Solution means: Do it before you’re ready.”
There are some people that always seems to start new projects or new activities with a negative spin. I know people that you can put in any situation, with any challenge, and they will always be the first to tell you why something can’t be done. Yet there are other people that always walk into new situations with a smile and a positive attitude.
Why is it so easy to predict which group somebody will be in? Humans being creatures of habit allow their attitude to be controlled by habit. Creating a habit of having a good positive attitude is simply a matter of deciding to do it.
Challenge yourself to stopping thinking of imaginary obstacles. Find the real obstacles to success and put a positive attitude forward in addressing the real obstacles. You will find that each day will be easier.
