Are your inner conflicts stopping you?
0:19
I used to own a Mac computer and, in order to make programs run smoothly, I used an application called "Conflict Catcher."
Conflict Catcher scans the computer and detects applications that slow one another down because they are incompatible. In some cases, a program can't even run because it is in conflict with another program that's running simultaneously.
In fact, these are not really programs but "extensions" of the operating system. Think of "extensions" as mini-programs that extend the capabilities of the operating system.
I talk about this because often, I see people have inner conflicts. In other words, they have beliefs that are conflicting, and often, they don't know it.
These conflicting beliefs create interference, and from the following formula, we know that interference is diminishing your potential:
Success / Happiness / Wealth / etc. = Potential - Interference
For example, a person WANTS to become rich and even multimillionaire, yet he always shops around for discounts or always looks for bargains. This is a conflict because you cannot possibly become a millionaire if you act like a non-millionaire!
Millionaires never shop around for "bargains" or "discounts." They want something, they pay the full price. Why? Because they are CONFIDENT they will continually make more and more money.
In other words, they have NO (or very little) inner conflict.
Similarly, I see many entrepreneurs being afraid of selling. It's a bit like a guy who wants to have a girlfriend but is afraid of "dating." The inner conflict will ENSURE that he remains single!
In the case of the entrepreneur who's afraid of selling, the conflict is this:
1. He wants to sell as many of his products or services as possible
2. He rejects himself even before he begins selling. That is, he "rejects" himself by refusing to give prospects the opportunity to say "yes" to him.
This is obviously a major conflict, yet many first-time entrepreneurs don't realize it.
Self-confidence is, indeed, the basis for jumping as high as you want to jump. But if you have a weak self-confidence, it's like standing on moving sands. As you try to jump, you will only sink deeper.
So the success secret is to really scan your mind and heart and detect all the inner conflicts within you, for they are stopping you without your knowing.
The biggest conflicts come from the difference between
1. What you WANT and
2. What you feel you DESERVE
The key is to always remember that "whatever you DESIRE, you DESERVE!"
Never argue against yourself. Never let anyone diminish your self-esteem or self-confidence, whether they do it consciously or unconsciously.
Every day, affirm to yourself -- through words, gestures, writings (blogging, etc.), etc. -- that you DESERVE whatever you DESIRE.
Whatever you truly want, WILL come to you -- but you have to remove the inner conflicts first. You have to stop doubting yourself and second-guessing yourself.
I speak from personal experience. Ever since I was a kid, I've always done what I wanted, and paid little or no attention to what others thought I was capable of. I received 4 standing ovations before I reached the age of 18.
That's not because I'm more "special" or more "talented" or smarter than other kids. It's just that I never had any inner conflicts. I want something, I go and grab it.
Think about it this way: there is a massive amount of money out there waiting for you to grab it!
"Money" is just a certain perception, a way of seeing things and especially seeing the value in things and people. When you develop this vision -- this ability to see what others cannot -- then you will realize that all the money you want is OUT THERE, just waiting for you to grab it!
But because you have inner conflicts, you stop even before you start!
