Every one has FEAR, and because of fear, we tend to avoid doing many things that we wanted to do for “Fear” of Failure that result in PAIN! Anthony Robbins once said, “People are motivated either to Avoid Pain or Attract to Pleasure.” However, most of the time, the Fear of pain overwhelming the attraction of Pleasure. Why is that so? Most of our Pain experience are either from our own past experience that had conditioned us or from other people experience that rooted in out mind.

In one of my earlier posting, I share the 3-short-stories-on-conditioning on how trainer in circus train a young elephant that conditioned it not to break out of the tiny rope even though when it is a full grown elephant that can move tons of log.

Do You Know What is Hold You Back? In the all time classic book Psycho-Cybernetics, A New Way to Get More Living Out of Life by Dr. Maxwell Maltx, he wrote “We ACT, BEHAVE, FEEL according to what we consider our Self Image to be, and we do not deviate from this pattern.“

What is the Self Image that you consider yourself to be? Two days ago, I was going through a pile of job applicants who applied for a post of clerk in my office. The requirement is very basic; finishing secondary school with good grades, but we attracted a lot of Diploma and Degree holderss. Many of these graduates are having vocational skills in additional to their basic degree, but were unable to find a better job and advance in their career.

In my earlier post What’s in the Mind of Millionaire? I have talked about what is holding this young men or women back in getting a more decent job in accordance to their qualification and experience and what my wife and I planned to do for them. Obviously, these young men and women are holding a poor Self Image even though they had graduated from university, if not how do we explained a university graduate competing with secondary school graduates for a clerk post?

At time,I also wonder, what Self Image I am holding? Is my current Self Image holding me back to scale a greater height? Joining the The Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar is a Mind Blowing experience and a journey of Self Discovery. I am now doing my inventory and taking the steps to change.

How about You?
