We hold ourselves back, by allowing our minds to restrict our true potential. It is like we put ourselves in jail and threw away the key! But we can be more…
Years of torment:
For example, take scripture history: how Israel had been badly treated in Egypt. They had the chance to move into the land of Israel straight away within days after walking through the Red Sea on dry land.
But because they couldn’t conceive their good fortune, there and then, they wondered in the desert for forty years before entering into the land of Israel!
Are we like that? Not believing things are possible or could happen straight away, perhaps within days?!
Are we blocking our own potential with lies!
Because we’ve experienced previous hard times, we begin believing we can’t be successful. We are quick to give up on ourselves and start telling ourselves lies. Such as the barriers we set up for ourselves, from our past:
- “I come from a poor background and had no education. That’s it, I mustn’t accept more.”
- “I’m not good at ….! I tried that and failed, so there is no hope for me now.”
The very thought of breaking these barriers scares us. That’s why most of us don’t take up challenges. We quickly step back and say, “No, no… I can’t do that!”
In reality:
Do you know what that challenge really was? God was giving us an opportunity to grow. And we blew it!
And we couldn’t even conceive it! We were so concerned with our problems, wallowing in the past, we let the chance to succeed at something, let go and pass by.
We never even stopped to think about it. How we could possibly do it. Or who could help us succeed. Working as a team we can achieve more.
Are we willing to go on thinking lack, defeat, failure, poverty? Or of joy, victory, power and abundance?!
Believe in the tenfold blessing:
Whatever you do in this life, it comes back to tenfold… whether it’s good or bad.
- If you think bad things, they will happen tenfold.
- If you think good thoughts, they come back tenfold in reality.
- If you start somewhere, anywhere, the action will spark off more tenfold actions.
Here are some examples:
- If you dream of knitting a beautiful jersey… nothing actually happens. But if you cast on a few stitches, you have a foundation to knit (work) on. With each stitch another row is done. When more and more is done, you start to believe you can knit that jersey after all. That’s when hope helps you complete the jersey.
- Also like writing a blog. No ideas come to you, until you write a few words. It’s like hitching your imagination to a star… Twinkle, twinkle… with each bright idea you have, it tends to shine brighter than the one before.
Okay, so you think I’m talking crap. Complete nonsense. But… even writing crap, makes you think of a cheeky title to work on. So try it, and see what I mean.
It’s okay to talk to yourself:
As long as you’re been positive.
- Think of the little things you did well with. Build on those thoughts and things. Add encouraging thoughts until you know where and what you can start working on.
- Build beautiful ideas in your mind. Once you have a positive image in your mind, you have something to hitch your particular star on.
You don’t need lots of money to start with.
Start with what you have, on small things and turn them into bigger and bigger things. What do you have around the house that you could use to make something?
And after you have sold it, plough that money back into your little business and make more, and so on, until you have enough money to invest in your real hobby.
- If you think crazy, way-out things (beyond your usual way), exotic and unique, and you can achieve anything.
yes we are fucking blocking our own potential by speaking lies with us, For example, i daily think that today i will sleep and early and wake up early, but that doesn't happen and i daily sleep late at night and wake late, I just wake up and now it's 1:47 Pm, the same thing happens in the other matters.
Since a child, my eyes close early at night. I get up early in the morning, because that's when I'm freshest, and have more energy to think and do things. By the afternoon I'm all worked out and do less energetic things. I move from one activity to another so I keep my concentration fresh. That's how I achieve my goals.
That's what you call energy control and scheduling. Working according to your personal energy.
You see, interacting with your tasks, makes you feel more alert. Than if you hog, push and force yourself to finish a big boring task, your brain switches off and you are all pooped out!
Wow! Great motivation!
When our dreams fail, it is certainly not easy to accept. But, one thing we must understand, sadness and disappointment does not make us desperate.
There is nothing absolute in this world. Isn't failure better than not trying at all?
Don't let failure make our lives destroyed. Are not those who succeed are people who fail?
(I think, nothing is impossible including moving mountains.)
Thank you, always giving us extraordinary motivations, @artguru!
Best wishes! 🙏
You are right. Many a successful person failed many times before getting it right. From each failure they learnt something that they shouldn't do in future.
A great post ,tbis could help alot....
I am going to show this post to my cousin brother he needs to build this type of thinking....
Thanks @artguru
As the saying goes: "Life is what you make it!"
Aah! @artguru. This article of yours has left me speechless. Previous inspirational blogs were great too but this one is some alienate thing. I am not commenting anything false. All the praise is from the bottom of my heart and i swear on it. The story of not believing in ones self happened to me many times and i used to curse god for that. Then i started slow and things went right. Then i realised ,Aargh! How foolish i had been. I could have done this alot more earlier. Wgat i needed was just a start but perhaps i was scared of that first steps. Thanks for this motivational speech. It has really pumped me to do what i think is impossible.
You know, your comment is why I write the stuff I do. It's great to know that someone out there appreciates what I do. And perhaps has helped them in some way.
Thank you.
That I’m not a whore on Occasion 😇

Its Lessonable Block .. For me .. Thanx For this .
thanks for the inspiration dear it is very inspiring.
Dear ma. It's a complete panacea of life, blogging, success, process building, thinking positively, believing on yourself, preparing yourself, and I am sorry if anything I left.
Dear mam I mean you covered every aspect of life and in my opinions these words are like medicine for sick minded, pessimist, there are like a catalyst for the positive thinker and self believer.
Dear mam your efforts and attempts to make us successful is very important and precious for not only me but for everyone who want to be successful in their life.
So friends, stop making barriers for yourself,
Start working good only from now as it will return in ten fold times,
Start working as soon as possible.
Be confident,
Be Positive,
Be motivated.
Everything you need in your life the key is in your hand, don't give it to others or throw it outside the iron cage.
Be free, be great.
In truth, don't hide your talents. While we are here on earth, enjoy life and all that God has created.
Dearest Guru Ji,
This is your masterwork and we are sure there is so many effective and marvellous weapons are still in your mind and these weapons are like a nuc bomb which will explode, the all sad and demotivated items from our dictionary and will fill our heart with confidence and wisdom and the only creditor is you dear mam.
Thank you very much again.
Dear mam the most important and special thing I found in this marvellous blog is this is what I shared with the world, and friends this is a mark of Excellence. The image credit to a to @artguru Ji.
