Many thanks to Erin Patrick for her FBing of this quote this morning!
Who don’t you think you are? I can guarantee that you will have to change your mind about that if you are to become it. YOU MUST UNTIE THAT NOT.
Do you say, ‘I am not the fitness type’? If you want to be fit, you must first untie that not.
Do you want to be artistic? Then you can’t keep telling people that you aren’t. You have to decide that that can become part of your identity. You have to untie that not.
Are you not the happy type? Do you say ‘I am just not that type of person.’? Then you have lassoed yourself and are tied up tight. You can’t change until you untie that not.
How does one do that? By action. You want to be an artist? Then create art. Do you want to be a runner, then run. Do you want to be happy, then smile and love someone. Do what it takes to make those things happen.
And whatever you do, do NOT brag about what you are NOT!
My new clarion call: UNTIE THAT NOT™
