I had a very visceral reaction of going from straining forward against the wind to suddenly almost falling forward when the wind dropped, and then being able to stand up and look around in different directions, and walk in different directions. No more struggle was required.

That’s so awesome. I’d be curious to hear what changed, and how… if you’re willing.

This is one of those posts that stands the test of time.

Recently I realized that I have been approaching certain things as if I am bracing myself against a howling wind. I remembered this post, and I thought,

“There is no wind.”

And everything changed.

That’s exactly what it’s like, Johnny. Glad you can relate! My mental picture is – or rather, has been!! – that I’m a B lister. I’ve just figured out that I’ve been carrying that all my life. Time to kick it in to touch.

As you say, tough, but it’ll shift with persistence.

And, of course, I’ll let you know how it goes!

Let me know how that goes for you. I have some stuff in my life that I haven’t gotten my head around this concept about, and it holds me back. It’s like being unable to quit smoking because your mental picture of yourself is that of you as a smoker. I don’t smoke, but I’ve got stuff like that.

Tough. But like anything, I believe it just takes persistence.

Johnny, every so often I come across a post of yours that just, like, talks to what’s going on for me.

I’ve done pretty well this last year and built a blog to a reasonable level. It makes money, it gets business, it looks good, works and is generally okay. But, here’s the thing, I want it to do more and I’ve just realised this week that I’ve constructed my own glass ceiling about my success. Today, as I’m figuring I’m going to bust through this thing, I read your post. Awesome!

Great comments on your blog. You can tell people get it. As for me, I could use fewer unit references and more Phineas & Ferb. I’m just sayin.

Actually, very cool post. I often jump to Y instead of just doing X and seeing what happens. Seldom is there regret in trying. I

Several times so far this year something has happened to remind me that we can choose what we believe. What a revolutionary, mind-bending thought! So mind-bending I had to blog about it. Thanks Johnny!

@Mary – My own dad is still waiting for that part too, but he’s the guy who taught me most of this. Remember, “doing well” doesn’t always mean money. (Not that you were saying it was. But a lot of people assume that.)

I still think belief is like a muscle. I know I couldn’t flex mine for crap at the beginning, and it took a lot of believing that looked stupid. And it’s not just this past year, either…
