Wanted For Robbery
By Bob Wolf
Attention. Be on the lookout for suspects wanted for robbery. These people have long track records and continue to steal at alarming rates. They aren’t your usual robbers. These particular larcenists rob from themselves. They don’t believe in their own potential and settle for second best. The penalty for this crime: a life of misery.
Are you guilty? While you won’t face a jail term, you better believe that there is a price to pay for failing to believe in yourself. The problem is, we don’t want to admit our guilt.
Ask yourself these questions:
- Why do some of us quickly give our goals and dreams?
- Do I direct my energy to friends and live vicariously through other people’s lives?
- Do I quickly five up the idea that I can achieve the kind of body I really want?
An overemphasis on believing in other people and not yourself brings a feeling of shallow reward. You downplay your goals and dreams for a fit body. You go through the motions as others achieve their fitness goals, while denying yourself the same kind of success and happiness.
There comes a point in your life when you have to get off the bandwagon and step out and be a star. Don’t settle for second best at what you do in life. Do the things that would give you a great sense of self-worth. |
