What Can Yoda Teach Us About Success?

Yoda “Unlearn What You Have Learned”You must unlearn what you have learned.

Right now, chances are you’re aiming for success in one area of your life OR another. The thrill of the small victories motivate us but what happens when we hit a road block?

Everything within burns for the desire to forge ahead but for some reason you stand still–sometimes even taking two steps back.

Frustrating isn’t it?

Thats exactly how I felt throughout my first year in Network Marketing, especially in the first six months. I was ready to throw in the towel dozens of times.

That is, until I realized why I was coming up against so many walls.

Our subconscious is often the source of these walls. Your subconscious isn’t trying to sabotage your goals, not really. The problem is the sum total of the lessons you have learned to this point in your life.

If you grew up believing you’d never amount to anything, you wouldn’t have much faith in yourself, would you? Especially if the people in your life were the source of that belief and continually re-enforced it by repeating it daily.

Guess what!? It’s a lie and as Yoda says, You must unlearn what you have learned.

I went through this myself. The people in my life didn’t treat me in the way described above, they were actually trying to be supportive in their own way but I was convinced I was no good and worthless–and thats how I lived my life.

When I joined my first company I decided I was going to make this investment count. I started investing time in myself by reading, writing emails to friends about my epiphanies and always correcting myself when I began to creep back into the mode of a pessimist.

As the days passed, and people began responding to my journey, I began to recognize my value.

You can do this too.

It isn’t about the latest system, technique, strategy or tool–its about whats going on within you. You can’t change a situation by pursuing the same way of thinking.

Yoda was 900 years old when he passed this nugget of wisdom on to Luke. Thankfully, I didn’t have to wait that long to pass it on to you.
