Know Your Place

We are programmed that we have to go to school and study to enable us to have a good job and to be employed.

Qualifications are meant to bring us success, but do they?

Know your place

How many of us as children were told ‘don’t speak until you are spoken to’, ‘don’t play in the street’, ‘are you trying to be clever’, ‘don’t try and be someone you are not’, ‘who do you think you are’ ‘don’t bite off more than you can chew’.

In other words the advice was ‘know your place‘.

Some were positive, but they came with limitations, such as ‘mother knows best’, ‘look before you leap’, ‘it’s too good to be true’.

Not only did these sayings that we grew up with became the number one obstacle in our success in life, but also lead to us thinking that we did not deserve success.  This attitude simply stemmed from a feeling of inferiority.

You can change if you want to

Today you are the product of your physical environment, from your personality, ambitions and even your position in life due to programming in your upbringing.

It is important for you to realise that you have been conditioned and you can change if you want to.

If your personality has been developed through fear, doubt and worry it can be changed to have a more positive influence.  Furthermore, you can become the successful person that you deserve to be.

You can shape your own destiny.

You are the designer of your own life.

Fearless

When a child is born they are fearless.  As a small new born your motto was ‘I can’ and ‘I don’t have to’.

During the age of 0-7 years old you were introduced to ‘be careful’ and the amazing word of ‘no’. 

Indeed during this process our motto changed to ‘I can’t’ and ‘I have to’ otherwise known as fear of failure and the fear of rejection.

These conditions and responses manifest themselves in us and prevent us from releasing our full potential. 

However, knowing your place doesn’t have to be negative, the good news is we can change this.

You can change and reach your full potential.
