What do you think is possible?
I love the Napoleon Hill Quote ” Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”
Your mind is a great powerful instrument.
It can deliver to you everything that you want, but you have to believe that what you want is possible.
You get what you expect.
My mentor Jack Canfield gives a great example of a study on arthroscopic knee surgery, where patients with worn-out knees were assigned 1 of 3 procedures.
- Scraping out the knee.
- Washing out the knee.
- Doing nothing.
During the doing nothing operation, doctors still made three incisions in the knee, as if they did the surgery.
They then pretended to operate.
Two years after doing the surgery, the patients who underwent the “pretend” surgery, reported the same percentage of pain relief, and reduction in swelling as those who received actual treatment.
The brain expected the surgery to improve their knee, and so it did.
So why does that part of the brain works this way?
I believe it’s because we spend our whole lives becoming conditioned, and our brains expect that things will happen in a certain way, and often achieve exactly what we anticipate.
Now this is why it’s so important to have positive expectations in your mind.
When you replace your old negative expectations with positive ones.
When you begin to believe that what you want is possible.
Your brain actually takes over the job of accomplishing that possibility for you.
Your brain will actually expect to achieve that outcome.
But you have got to believe.
You know I have used that Napoleon Hill quote so many times in my coaching, my training, in conversations, but the complete quote will make a lot more sense to you in light of what I just wrote.
“You can be anything that you want to be. if only you believe with sufficient conviction, and you act in accordance with your faith. For whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.”
So, what do you think is possible?
Whatever it is, believe in yourself and go for it.
