Motivational: Forget "Thinking" Outside The Box....GET Outside The Box

Forget "Thinking" Outside The Box....GET Outside The Box

Written by Leo J Quinn Jr

I happened to overhear a conversation repparttar

other day between two men…

Young man has started learning about real estate investing. He has read books and attended seminars put on by some gurus who make more money selling information about real estate investing than they do investing in real estate BUT at least he is taking repparttar 122632 initiative to learn more. This is more than most people will do.

Old man owns his home. Young man wants to buy real estate as an investment….apartment buildings, office buildings…that type stuff. Old man has o experience in this area. During repparttar 122633 conversation old man says to young man…"are you doing anymore of that real estate nonsense?"

By "nonsense" I know old man was referring to attending repparttar 122634 "get rich quick" type seminars and not a condemnation of real estate investing. BUT it came across as a condemnation of repparttar 122635 young man’s process of educating himself about something new...something that could improve his life and repparttar 122636 lives of his family.

Unfortunately, you probably have people like that in your life. You may BE a person like that in someone else’s life. People in your "box" don’t want you getting out!

You know repparttar 122637 type. Negative about any attempt you might make to improve your life…to be different…to stand out….to be more successful than they are.

I heard a great analogy for this by attending a free investment seminar. I knew this guy would be advocating some risky financial moves but I figured since I was in repparttar 122638 seminar giving business myself, that I might be able to learn something useful. I did.

The people you associate with most are probably just like you. You have similar educational backgrounds, families and incomes.. You live in houses and drive cars of similar value. You attend repparttar 122639 same church…your kids attend repparttar 122640 same schools…you shop in repparttar 122641 same stores. You get repparttar 122642 idea.

Limiting Beliefs - How to Break Through the Barrier

Written by Petra Rankin

Circus trainers used to tie a chain around a baby elephant's ankle to stop it from escaping. The chain would be connected to a tall spike which was hammered deep into repparttar

ground. As a baby, repparttar 122631

elephant was not strong enough to pull out repparttar 122632

spike, and so it learned not to try. As repparttar 122633

elephant became fully grown, it continued to believe that it could not escape, even though it was easily strong enough.

The moral of repparttar 122634 story is: If you don't test some of your old, limiting beliefs, you will stay stuck in your present circumstances.

So how many invisible chains do you have tied around your ankles?

Successful people have learned how to break through those limiting beliefs that hold them back from achieving their goals. For example, they believe they are not too old to try something new - they are wise. Nor are they too young - they have energy. Unlike repparttar 122635 elephant destined to walk around and around in circles, successful people choose a direction and don't give up until they get there.
