Now let's talk about an incredibly important subject. And that's battling our inner negativity. Because battling your inner negativity leads to massive results. And whenever you do anything that is really beneficial for your life, then there always will be internal and also possibly external resistance that will try to prevent you from succeeding. But you can imagine this a bit like an airplane rolling along a runway, the air resistance pushing against it actually enables the airplane to rise into the air it simply cannot do it without the air resistance. And as human beings, we really do need some resistance in order to achieve anything worthwhile in life.

Now, this negativity does everything in its power to stop you and keep you distance. In part and it will do this in every way that you can imagine. It always works through your areas of weakness, or your Achilles heel or Achilles heels. Although it may appear quite subtle, it's actually very powerful in keeping otherwise potent individuals from achieving remarkable things during their lives. I honestly believe that the only thing stopping an ordinary person from becoming an extraordinary person is whether or not they can recognize and overcome this inner negativity. This resistance or negativity actually shows us our weaknesses.

And it shows us what things we need to change in our life. Only by overcoming negativity, can we reach our goals negativity is actually essential to our growth and to achieving our goals. We cannot do this without experiencing some form of negativity. Now, it's a fact that without challenges, our lives can become very stale. Because challenges actually force us to stretch our life and develop new abilities that we did not possess before. It's almost like a ship in a tranquil harbor.

When the captain sets a destination or goal, then the ship leaves the harbor, and moves out into the stormy seas. And only by moving forwards despite the waves crashing against his ship, can the captain and crew reach their intended destination and just like a ship or airplane, every clear destination we set for ourselves will only be achieved when we encounter and overcome resistance within ourselves and in our environment. Now Just like a ship, or airplane, every clear destination you set for yourself can only be achieved when you encounter and overcome resistance within your life and within your environment. So, as soon as you set a big goal for yourself, you will definitely encounter challenges that will make you grow. Without growing as a result of these challenges, then you will not be able to achieve your goals. Unless of course, they're very, very small goals.

So how can you then overcome this inner negativity? Well, if you study the lives of great people, then in every case, they were people who encountered all sorts of big challenges, very big challenges in many cases. And instead of giving up at the first hurdle, they pick the themselves up, dusted themselves down and tried again. And in most cases, they failed several times before succeeding in a truly big way. If you study the lives of very successful people, you will see that there are people who have, who have actually failed more times than most people, but the fact that they have resilience, and that they continually pick themselves up and try again, having this spirit always leads to success. For example, Thomas Edison, the great inventor, failed 10,000 times while trying to invent the incandescent light bulb.

That's an incredible number of failures 10,000 times. Now, the fact is that most people just give up at the first or second hurdle. But all highly successful people have refused to give up they have failed, far more times than ordinary people. But they've not given up. true success only comes to those who are persistent and refuse to give in to temporary challenges. If you want to become outrageously successful, then you must refuse to give up and you must keep trying until you succeed, persistence, overcoming negative beliefs and programming your mind for success.

These are the true keys to your long term success and happiness.
