It's believed by visionary and strong souls that if you aim for moon you will at least end up amongst the stars. If you do not cherish any aim you will come to sheer nothing. To make things worse, if you seek to justify your failure, then you are literally digging your grave with your own hands. It goes beyond describing through words how unavoidably important it is to have some aim or serious cause in life to live it energetically and wonderfully. How very fittingly someone pointed to this fact by quoting the example of a bird: "A man without aim is like a broken winged bird."

We often set some goal or the other,What Stops You From Succeeding Articles and then get knocked up with just a single failure at the very outset, considering our aim either a wrong decision in the first place or by thinking our target is something beyond our powers or access. A shy fellow who did not try to address a gathering despite many opportunities would only ever crawl like a child who did not try to walk, and would ultimately come to believe that he had no talents to address or convince others. He may also blame the world around seeking to justify his failure proclaiming: 'there was something wrong with them.' Although they would think that the man had something mentally wrong, it would in reality be his mind which had stopped him from succeeding.

Isn't it amazing how many of us don't even try to do something for the fear of failure? We may also call it some sort of mental blockage. The cost we pay as a result is we end up avoiding so many opportunities which might have led us to achieving something so very substantial which one otherwise could only dream of. Now the shock or knock on understanding that we have missed some golden chance would naturally lead us to sullenness and further unconstructiveness.

What leads to deeper ditches is our searching for 'intelligent' and 'convincing' reasons, read them all 'lame excuses' to justify why we failed or why we did not even try. The example of that figurative man could be studied here again who grows to believe that there is something seriously wrong with the world that prevents them from giving him his niche amongst good speakers. It's the very nature of human mind to think that some outer element has obstructed his way and became the actual cause of failure-merely an easier way to think that failure to aim for the moon was due to unfavorable weather conditions....or to believe that the right tools or the right equipment was not available.

What's the difference between the person who aims for something and the person who does not aim at all? In reality, it is in how each of the two chooses to think. One aims for the moon; the other does not. One blames the outer elements; the other does not even consider them saying they will remain the same. The one aiming for the moon will get hold of the required tools and will find a way to get there only by deciding to do it. The other not willing to take aim will go on justifying their position, often making the outer elements responsible for his not embarking.

So what blocks your way is not something physical, but rather your mental attitude. With the coming of latest research on the mind body relationship no one can deny that our mind can have severe impact upon our physical well being. All what happens with our body actually flows directly from our mind. Hence, our body is a mirror of our mind. The newest research has provided irrefutable proof of this thing. Our thoughts transmit signals from our brain to our body cells. Putting in a nutshell, we have to pay both mentally and physically to attend to what we think.

The majority however is not aware of this link. What most people believe is their mind is a separate unit. You can imagine well how this misconception leads one to blame outer elements the 'real' cause of one's failure. We feel naturally encouraged by the idea of putting blame on physical things for all sorts of breakdowns we experience.

Summing up, what can really make or mar what you want to do is only and only 'YOU'. There is simply nothing that can block your way to hit what you aim for unless there is mental blockage inside you. Make predicaments, problems and complications coming your way your learning-- considering them most valuable guidelines. Do not forget that the universe is mostly supportive in whatever man pursues in his life. Let me support the subject by another motivational idea that says: "Dreams do come true if they are dreamt intensely enough."
