You can do it if you use your new wisdom to clear the way for you.<\/p>\n<p>One excellent way to break through these seemingly impassable inner states is to see them as being the fakes they are. This isn\u2019t to say you won\u2019t feel their punishing presence when you first dare to defy their threats. But each time you\u2019ll psychologically walk up to and past these inner disturbances, you\u2019ll become increasingly aware that these task-resistant thoughts and feelings are just big fakes!<\/p>\n<p>You must prove to yourself that these thoughts and feelings are fakes in order to know the powers that come with such a discovery, but here\u2019s a glimpse of what you\u2019ll learn each time you take that step you\u2019re sure you can\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Those negative states that try to stop you from taking the next step of any chosen journey are just psychological special effects. These obstacles of psychic flash-and-smoke are generated by the mind to keep you from disturbing its established levels of comfort. But special effects, regardless of the kind of \u201cscreen\u201d upon which they\u2019re projected, have no reality outside of your temporary belief in their appearance.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is these inner-barriers are without real substance, and so must vanish the moment you pass through them. Which brings us to a great spiritual truth: On the other side of the resistance is the flow. This means that each time you\u2019ll call on this exercise to walk through some pocket of inner resistance, you\u2019ll find, on its other side, all the fresh energy and intelligence you\u2019ll need to go through and complete your task.<\/p>\n<p>All these years you\u2019ve been taught to believe that before you can hope to succeed at something, you have to first feel as though you can. No! To succeed you need only understand how failure is created, and then consciously refuse to cooperate with what has been defeating you from within.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">***<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p align=\"center\">Each step into what you think you can\u2019t do<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\u00a0is one step\u00a0 further away from that nature<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">which wants you to think that circles actually go somewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next time you want to go ahead with any project &#8212; whether it\u2019s designing a rocket ship or finally getting around to repairing your favorite rocking chair &#8212; and you start to feel those old familiar doubts, dreads, or doldrums rising up to block your way, just walk right through them.
