Addressing the issue of being STUCK.
In Wattles' book, he specifies not reading information that contradicts the principles of The Science of Getting Rich. This makes me wonder if it's a problem for me that I like to read the difficulties people have with using LOA for their benefit -- I keep wanting to find answers to these questions, but now I wonder if I should avoid these topics altogether for the time being. For instance, I've completely avoided Steve's blog "Hopeless Situations" and the corresponding thread. Should there even be hopeless situations?
There are multitudes of people who are stuck. In every field and every endeavor and every hobby. People who want to run a mile under a certain speed and are stuck at one time achievement. Talented authors who want to publish an article or story in a high-circulation publication but still only get offers from the small press. Acclaimed musicians who want to be a guitarist for a big-time rock star but they can't get that one big break. People who want a certain golf score but can't get below the best score they've ever had.
In one of Wayne Dyer's books he says, "If you want to accomplish something you've never done before, you have to become someone you've never been before."
I've wondered if I can't get past a certain income level in my business because that is the highest income level I've ever had with a job. For the life of me I can't find any reason why this one certain level is so rigid for me. It doesn't matter if I put in 40 hours a week or 80. It doesn't matter if I re-sell books or perfume or widgets. This doesn't make any sense.  |
