Why do you keep holding yourself back…. even when you know better. How painful it is that you tell yourself that” this time I will be different” only to find out that you have lied to yourself once again just as always. Sometimes it even goes to the extent of when planning about what you are going to do your own brain will whisper voices telling you that, that is not going to happen… …. Yep, your own brain! That is because you say the” I will” a lot of times but never do it. You set goals, you set goals, you set goals, you feel motivated for a moment and boom! You hesitate, you overthink, you delay and finally you quit before you begin.
It feels frustrating, doesnt it? Yes, I know. It is like there is something inside you that is collaborating antagonistically with you. Something invisible, yet powerful enough to stop you from becoming your dream, you. That something refers to the demons. Not the demons you see the pastor casting on a Sunday. -but mental demons. I mean the voices and habits that have slowly taken control of your actions without you even realizing it and guess what? …you have encountered them before. Let me remind you. The voice that tells you that you are not enough. The one that tells you that you will fail before you even try. The one that convinces you to wait a little longer for some silly reason which sounds sensible to you since you are under the control of it. The one that keeps you glued to your comfort zone, but you mistake those voices to be random thoughts but they are actually patterns and the more you are obedient them, the stronger they become. For better understanding let us name them.
The doubter whispers you are not ready. The delayer says it will start tomorrow. The over thinker fills your mind with endless what ifs. The coward keeps you locked away from the real world. The comfort keeper convinces you that staying the same is easier than changing. As a team they work together to control your life more than you realize just like how the hypothalamus is the control center of the brain and body and they are the reason you start but do not finish. The reason is that you dream but do not act. The reason is that you are aware of what to do but do not do it. If you do not confront them, they will keep you exactly where you are and it will exactly be like this, a year from now…. Nothing changes. Five years from now…the same excuses and it will eventually turn into a lifetime of potential nothing but wasted.
But here is the truth most people do not realize. These demons are not who you are, you were never born doubting yourself. . You were not born afraid to try and dear loved one you were never born to procrastinate your life away. You got used to these patterns and you can still give them up. That means something powerful and just imagine how good you will feel about yourself after conquering. You must fight by taking control of your thoughts. Break the cycle. You can become disciplined. , confident and unstoppable but first -you must stop ignoring the enemy. You must see it clearly because you cannot defeat what you refuse to face.
This book is your guide to doing exactly that. You will learn how your mind works.
