| Are you thinking for yourself?Or are you making current choices based on past decisions or on what other people think?
Holding onto fixed ideas and not being open to new ones is an example of a foolish consistency, and it can keep you stuck.
A foolish consistency can affect your heart.
A man, who places a high value on keeping his word, made a promise to repair expensive equipment and gift it to a friend.
Personally, giving this gift meant a great deal to him.
After several months, he realized the equipment couldn’t be repaired.
He tried really hard to make the unworkable workable.
When he couldn’t, it meant he couldn’t keep his word and couldn’t give this gift, both of which caused him extreme, emotional stress.
He took this to heart.
He took a lot of things to heart.
Including a heart attack.
He let go of the foolish consistencies and now is doing great.
A foolish consistency can affect your goals.
Years ago, I had a plan of how I thought things should work.
First, I’d write my course, and then I’d buy a house.
What happened is that moving came first, and this allowed me to be in a better environment.
A foolish consistency would’ve been to insist on living in a space that wasn’t conducive to writing.
To this day, I’m careful not to be misled by my preconceived ideas, aka foolish consistencies, about what comes first and who’s on second.
See what life is presenting at the moment. New ways often exceed one’s wildest expectation about how things can work out.
A foolish consistency can affect your money.
In spite of her best efforts and through no fault of her credit report, a silly regulation stopped a woman from refinancing to get money she needed.
At first, she was disappointed.
Not being bogged down with a foolish consistency, she refocused her thinking on this or something better.
Her business skyrocketed, and she made $18,000 in one month (far exceeding her past, monthly incomes) with many more deals in her pipeline.
Little minds worry about a foolish consistency.
Greater minds align with the moment.
Your TIP is to use your great mind! Let go of your limiting, foolish consistencies, and be open to new ideas to receive what you want.
Challenge the way you think and usually do things, especially if you feel stuck or you’re trying to break free into something better.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.
If you’ve tried something new and you’re beating yourself up because it didn’t work the way you thought – stop it!
Getting down on yourself is not helping.
Give yourself a chance to align with a different track to success, and be open to receive something better.
Breathe. Listen within.
Your inner wisdom is 100% on your side to guide you from stuck to success.
Be willing to receive its messages. |
