Be willing to choose which thoughts keep you small, anxious and unmotivated and which ones delight, expand and grow you to your next level. Then, let go of the thoughts and beliefs that are bringing your confidence down. These old, out of date past thoughts and beliefs sound like, “I’m unlovable”, “I’m unsafe”, “I’m worthless”.

In victim orientation you may think, “I can never count on anything turning out as planned.” In 50 www.AspireMAG.net | August / September 2016
