Let's talk about trying a new endeavor, like quitting smoking, losing weight, starting a business, or dating someone new. Even when we fail repeatedly, there is a voice inside that tells us to keep going. We must listen to that voice and persist, despite all the doubts and discouragement, until we finally achieve our goal. It's about believing in ourselves and not giving up, no matter how difficult the journey may be.
Aloha And lemme talk to ya! Hello, Luke Michael Howard, clinical hypnosis and owner of Hypnosis Hypnosis. And let me, let me go for a story. It might be a familiar story. Have you ever tried a new endeavor? Now, that could be, I don't know, to quit smoking, to lose weight, to try a new business, to date someone new that you figured, you thought was out of your league. Uh, uh, you know, to get involved in some kind of sport, an endeavor that, you know, people tell you're too old or unfit for or you're not equipped for. And you gave it a shot, and do you know what? It didn't work. In fact, all your ideas and dreams just fell to the ground just like that ring. But you were motivated, right? So you're like, "You know what? I'm gonna, I'm gonna not quit. I'm gonna give it another shot, 'cause there's something in this, right?"
So you gave it another shot and it still didn't work, and then that ring just dropped on the floor again. And by this point you're like, "You know what? Maybe third time's lucky, right?" Third time's lucky. So you're really like, "You know what? I'm gonna give it a shot to see if I can make that connection." And then it still didn't work, and by this point that voice inside your head is getting louder and louder and louder. "This is not for you. You're too old. You're too fat. You're not attractive enough. Just quit." But there was a voice, just one voice that was canceling out all the louder voices inside of your head that just said, "No, continue." But even that voice, even that voice wasn't nearly loud enough, right? It... 'Cause all the hundreds to thousands and thousands of voices out there weren't enough to quiet that voice inside your head that says, "Just give it a shot.
Maybe, maybe you can make this work." And you still couldn't make it work. You're like, practice, practice, practice. How many times do I need to fail before I'm successful, right? But something inside you to keep telling you to give it a shot, to keep going until you got the result that you want, and even that wasn't enough. Even that didn't work, right? And you're almost ready to give up. You're almost ready to quit, 'cause there's no tricks here. But something inside of you said, "Just perhaps." And that, even then it wasn't enough, was it? Even then it started to get boring and tedious just doing this over and over and over again.
Until there was perhaps a time when you thought you had it, and you achieved that thing that you wanted to achieve. And all those failed attempts before just failed in comparison to when you made that connection and you got all that you wanted. And that one voice inside your head had to be louder and more deafening than every other distraction around you that says, "Quit, give up. Don't go for your dream." But you listened to that one voice. You made that connection, and you were solid.
Always Believe xXx
