Lies Of Your Subconscious:

Lie #1

I am not talented enough

Talent is not everything it is merely part of

the recipe. What matters most is passion,

drive and persistence. If you want

something more than anyone else nothing

can stop you except yourself.

Here is one of my favorite quotes to sum this up.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race"
-Calvin Coolidge

What is this telling you? Your dream is exactly that YOUR DREAM!

Hold onto it cherish it and fight for it nothing can stop you because nothing ever will.
