how your mind is hurting you

Hey bro,

If you didn’t know, I’m a HUGE fan of affirmations.

I do them every day like clockwork.

I give a TON of credit for my mindset to reprogramming.

But I wanted to give you more than that.

I was watching a video yesterday about the 3 books that changed Iman Gadzhi’s life the most.

Naturally, my favorite book was on there as well. (hint hint)

It was “Psycho-cybernetics” by Maxwell Maltz.

And he said something that stuck with me:

“In life, you don’t get what you deserve. You get what you THINK you deserve.”

Woah.

Let’s paint this picture out with more detail:

If you grew up in a poor family, everything you learned as a child was from the mind of a poor person.

If for some magical reason, you got a million dollars for free,

You would feel extremely uncomfortable because it doesn’t “fit” your poor personality.

You’ll either give it away or blow it all on until your balance makes you feel more comfortable.

“So what Luka? what’s your point?”

If you don’t CONVINCE yourself you deserve better,

You’ll accept things you don’t want.

In short,

You’ll hold back when you ask to be paid for your efforts,

You’ll feel like a loser if you approach that pretty girl that’s “out of your league”

But worst of all,

You’ll apologize for being yourself.

We’re always teaching people how to treat us,

Sooner or later, the world will give you REAL reasons to feel bad for yourself.

So push back,

Get ahead of your thoughts,

And go get what you deserve.
