Who Stops You From Succeeding?

No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourself. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

You are responsible for what you think, what you feel and what you do.

What you think, what you feel and what you do determines what you create, who you become and the legacy you leave.

Just as important: your thoughts, feelings and actions create your moment-by-moment experience of life.

Whatever you have (or don’t have)  in life, you decide what it means – that, by extension, creates your feelings about who you are and what you’re capable of. (And your feelings around that are everything.)

Your life is up to you.

So, the tough – but absolutely necessary – question is:

What are you thinking, feeling and doing to keep what you want out of your life?

When you’re willing to accept that question as the one that really needs answering, and you answer it with curiosity, rigor and love, you will transform your life.
