It doesn't have to be that way.

Our failures aren't us. Our limitations are nothing more than fences we've built in our minds.

The cycle can be broken, if we could learn to stop thinking about our past failures and concentrate on here and now.

There's a story about two monks walking in woods.

As they approach a small body of water, they notice a young woman afraid to cross water.

The older monk puts her on his shoulders and carries her across.

When they reach other side he sets her down and continues on his way.

A little further along on their journey he turns to his younger companion and asks what's bothering him.

The young monk says, "You've broken your vows by touching that young woman."

The other monk replies,"Yes, but I let her go when I was finished helping her, you're still carrying her around."

Are you like young monk, carrying around your mistakes of past, or have you learned how to let go and move on.

Stop mistaking your past limitations for who you are.

Let go and move on.

Begin every task as if it were impossible to fail.

You can, if you think you can.

Wishing You Success, John Colanzi

Body language is a complex mixture of movement, posture, and tone of voice. Developing a working understanding of body language is similar to learning a foreign language in that it requires time and effort to achieve mastery. Typically, when someone is lying, they subdue their gestures and avoid direct eye contact, or have what is termed, “shifty eyes.” The three primary facial gestures associated with lying are called; “speak no evil, see no evil, and hear no evil.” The “speak no evil” gesture is when someone filters their words through their fingers or uses their hand to block their words. The gesture “see no evil” occurs when an individual rubs their eye(s) while they are talking. The third facial gesture, “hear no evil”, occurs when a person covers their ear(s) or drills their finger into their ear as they are speaking. The two, less obvious lying gestures are micro gestures, which require close observation to detect. The first of these subtle, but important micro gestures is a nose wrinkle. This is same gesture that occurs naturally when you smell something offensive. The other facial micro gesture that is used to detect lying is a slight downward curl of corners of mouth. People sometimes lie, but their body language always tells truth!
