Negativity Limited

“We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.” — Seneca

The Obstacle

Things
Inside and out
Limit us.

There are real things
Actual resistance
Sabotage by others
Circumstances creating barriers
Outside our control.

The negativity within
A factor we can control.

We induce voluntary
Avoidable misery
Complaining
Avoiding
Procrastinating

Limit performance
Through negativity.

We spend time
Looking backwards
Replaying
Wishing
Wasting.

We spend time
Looking forward
Plotting
Imagining
Anticipating
Wishing
Wasting. 

Bleeding out energy
Focus
Attention
Performance
Relationships.

Through negativity.

The Gift And Opportunity

A negative human
Will always be limited.

Full potential
Cannot be realized
While negative.

We know this
We see it in others.

In sports
Families
Businesses
Parenting
Partnering.

Potential squandered
From lack of control. 

Frustration
Anger
Resentment
Anxiety.

We do not get better
Because we do not practice
Getting better.

Practice getting better
And
We get better.

Listen internally for
Complaints
Setting conditions
Judgement
Need for control, perfection, or to fix
Worry
Restlessness
Being the victim.

Let it go
Be here and now
Shift positive.

Stop self-limitation .
