Your automatic guidance system cannot guide you when you're stalled, “standing still”.

Close scrutiny will show that most of these everyday socalled “crisis situations” are not life-or-death matters at all, but opportunities to either advance, or stay where you are.

It doesn't matter how many times you have failed.... What matters is the successful attempt.

Your automatic creative mechanism is teleological. That is, it operates in terms of goals and end results. Once you give it a definite goal to achieve, you can depend upon its automatic guidance system to take you to that goal much better than "you" ever could by conscious thought. "You" supply the goal by thinking in terms of end results. Your automatic mechanism then supplies the means whereby.

We simply must get it through our heads that holding a low opinion of ourselves is not a virtue, but a vice.

This is where you will win the battle - in the playhouse of your mind.

Within you, whoever you may be, regardless of how big a failure you may think yourself to be, is the ability and the power to do whatever you need to do to be happy and successful.
