As a personal trainer who really listens to gym goers in Manchester and my clients in city center, I come across some common weaknesses in people.
The most common weakness of all human beings is the habit of leaving the mind open to negative influences from others.
Are you being influenced in a negative way by others? Are you not achieving what you would like to be due to constant discouragement by others?
Often we don’t even realise we are being affected by others as this is just a usual part of our daily life’s.
We read and see negativity everywhere, TV, Newspapers and on the internet. We are constantly told about the failures of other people and how it’s the wrong time to do this or that, it didn’t work for them and it won’t work for you. Just do this it won’t make any difference. Don’t do that, that’s stupid, ETC.
The people and the media that we surround ourselves with will directly affect what and when we achieve in life.
If you didn’t watch TV, read the newspaper go on any website that talked about the news and stopped associating yourself with people that seem to discourage you, would you survive?
Sure you would.
Would you be happier, try more of your ideas, feel more positive and have less worries?
The answer would most likely be yes.
So if you know that you are being influenced by others and its stopping you from getting to where you want to go, cut those people and these sources of media out of your life for a while and see what happens.
