All the motivational pep talk in the world is not going to help someone until they get their arrogance and resistance out of the way. This is what is meant by the phrase, “Getting out of your own way.” The steps to doing this are simple to say, but not so easy to do.

STEP ONE

Resolve the head trouble-This has already been dealt with some, in step two through+

STEP TWO

Overcoming innate ability to filter out compliments. Never pass up a compliment, these are rare gifts in life.
Either compliments from others or yourself. When someone says you can't do it; stretch yourself beyond the limits of the possible. Every great accomplishment was at one time thought impossible.

STEP THREE

Programming your self-talk that there are no mistakes; it is all part of the learning process. Guilt is a poison to life. Living life is trial and error. Learn to take the attitude that “Hey, this is just an experiment!'. Don't take it personally. Example: Lincoln. Thomas Edison. Louis Pasteur.

STEP FOUR

There are no moral cowards or successful ones either. Courage, focused effort, what is called Determination.

STEP FIVE

Patience, patience, patience; Life is a numbers game. Boxers don't knock the foe out with the first punch; it is not the first swing of the bat that puts the ball out of the park. And you can't lose them all.

STEP SIX
There can be no effect, or result in one's life without making an effort or a cause. Doing nothing takes you nowhere.

STEP SEVEN

Know what you want; Really, really want. Focus mental, physical, and spiritual effort on that. A winner never quits a worthwhile goal. A quitter never gains a worthwhile goal. The old adage “the best things in life are free,’ Mr don't you ever believe it. Those have the highest price tag of all. Focus, Effort, Patience, Determination, Commitment, Getting and staying serious.
