Mediocrity.
Frustration.
Negativity.
For too many people their potential is being HIJACKED.
Hijacked.
“Mike, please explain.”
Look at your window.
How many people are spending their day doing what they enjoy?
How many people are experiencing personal and life
fulfillment?
Too many people have let their self image become beat up.
They see themselves as losers instead of winners and
champions in life.
The question is, “Why?”
Here’s one answer.
Your past is VAST.
Many people haven’t got the approval, recognition, and
support they needed.
They’ve grown up in negative environments.
They haven’t had healthy models of work, relationships, and
happiness.
If we don’t work HARD on ourselves, we bring to our adult
life a ton of garbage from our past.
It’s a cycle. That’s why poor communities always stay poor
and the opposite for the rich.
If you didn’t have MODELS of success in all areas of your
life, seek to find them in coaches, mentors, and books.
Don’t pass on junk to your kids because then their kids will
get it as well.
Our potential is hijacked when we forget we were born for
success, winning, self expression, and service.
Our potential is hijacked when we doubt ourselves, when we
think we’re only worth a few dollars, or when our self
respect is low.
Our potential is hijacked when we REPLAY the negative habits
on our environment, past and present.
You have to TAKE A STAND. (read this again)
Our potential is hijacked when our inner dialogue beats
ourselves up all day.
You have to TAKE A STAND.
YOU are smart, powerful, enthusiastic, and successful.
You have talents NO ONE else has. Share them.
You have insights NO ONE else has. Profit from them.
You have a WINNER that lives within. Express it.
Have the courage to see patterns in your life that are self
sabotaging and start turning it around.
Your past is vast. You’d be surprised how much you bring of
it to the present moment.
Be your own cheerleader. Yes, tell yourself, “You can do it!”
because you can.
Don’t let your potential be hijacked any longer. Start
serving others. Take the focus off yourself and onto others.
I believe in you. I respect you.
You have what it takes to succeed in a BIG, BIG way.
Love Ya! You’re The Best!
Your Coach,
Michael

Thanks for sendng the link to your blog – useful pats on the back are ideal.
Hey Mike!
Thanks for this EXCELLENT message today! Just what I needed to “get it going”
I think you’re talking about how our subconscious mind is programmed by all these negative beliefs that we grew up with as we heard from our parents and environments.
I believe the best way to overcome this programming and breakthrough to achieve the abundance we deserve is through strong affirmations like you said “I can do it!” and being our own cheerleaders..
I remember the time I was procrastinating and came across the idea of affirmations. I said it like a dozen times and the next thing I knew I attracted a $2000 membership into an exclusive club for free!

Hey Mike,
This idea cannot be underestimated. As you say, the poor stay poor because they have no real idea of anything different. Let’s see the potential in everyone and be a role model for them to be able to see their own potential.
Mike, thanks for another point of clarity and focus. You’re a great coach!
Thanks Mike for the reminders of what we should be focusing on. I love your positivity.
**Your past is vast. You’d be surprised how much you bring of
it to the present moment.**
This is sooo true Mike, though I’ll have to say that I’m not surprised at all! It is so difficult reprogram for for success when most of your experience has been failure.
While I try to keep telling myself ‘There is no failure, only feedback.’ Invariably there’s that little voice in the background saying … ‘Yeah, but ….’.
This is especially aggravating now as I have finally found the right vehicle for success!
Thanks for your ongoing support!

Thanks Mike! Before reading this…I was thinking while driving in my car today that I had typed out some positive characteristics that I have and that I should be reading them every day. I have not done that…after reading this it has reinforced for me how important it is to make it a habit to remind myself of my own greatness.
Mike,
You hit it right on the money.
If I had one lesson that I would like to pass on to anyone I come in contact with that would be that….
“Everyone is responsible for their own happiness.”
And most hijacking comes from self sabotage and relying on others for their happiness.
As Jim Rohn would say, “You need to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.”

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the great message today. I believe that a lot of what it takes to be successful is what is going on in your head. My family always “just had enough to get by” so I have had to work on changing that way of thinking, and yes, I was hijacking myself. In the business I am in, one of the most satisfying things for me to see is the growth of the new distributors coming into the business. Being around positive, like-minded people that believe in success can be one of the most life changing things a person can do for themselves.

Like the rest of the pack, you’re GREAT!! Thanks for being the coach that you are!!!
I needed encouragement today, thanks Mike.
Mike,
I had to TAKE A STAND.
I was already one of the hardest workers. I put in the extra time. I was a model employee!
These things didn’t work!
They didn’t work!!!
As it turned out,
>>> these were exactly the things that were holding me back.
Was I destined to remain miserable, underappreciated and underpaid ?
I too was frustrated.
Extremely frustrated!
It was at this low time in my career, like you, that I discovered something important………

What has/does work for me is when I tune in and realize I’m being negative towards myself in my self talk is I say CANCEL! Then I say the opposite. For example, I realize I’m saying to myself that I can’t do this, that or the other thing. “CANCEL! I’m a talented person who overcomes obsticles with ease.”

Hi Mike,
How about creating a blog post for everyone to say out loud!…. speaking out loud what we are and want to create is a fast track way of bringing it about, believing it faster, and living it daily. Read what Mike wrote above, aloud, as if you are the coach telling someone that needs to hear this.
Thanks for the constant powerful and positive reminders.

Wow, I feel energetic after reading it!
Hi Mike…
you did it again! Spot on and incredibly inspirational!
I wonder why we let our potential be hijacked?? Part of me thinks and obviously believes that it is a choice we make… sure it can happen so insidiously we’re unaware of it. But I work with many people who realise it’s happening but they won’t/can’t/don’t do anything about it. They make the choice to stay where they are… operating on a small percentage of the potential!

Hey Mike Your take on’ Your potential is being Hijack. Is a diamond in the rough.You are the best keep up the great work Love Ya’ Don
Hi Mike,
I absolutely agree with you and only we ourselve allow us to improve better and move further. It is something about what we believe in and what sort of value we behold with.There are so many things we come across daily.It is a matter of choice and priorty where we want to go. Yes, and I always believe that people and environment around us will shape our chracter and personality. To be balance and in control we shall be mindful and always stay into consciousness state.
