Reality Can Catch Up to Your Beliefs

Building a successful Outpost is hard work and can ware on someone who has not armed themselves with solid personal goals as well as a sound business plan, yes business plan.  Even though Rangers is a God inspired initiative there are plenty of naysayers out there that can plant seeds of doubt.  How do we stave off limiting beliefs? Here is a valuable truth, reality can catch up to your beliefs.  Especially within the will of a limitless provider.  Whether you think you can or whether you think you can’t your probably right.

We’re going to cover three main limits to your Outpost success.

Doubt Is A Goal Toxin

Doubt is not just that nagging feeling that you forgot to pack something just as your plane pulls away from the gate.  Doubt is the kind of deep seeded fear that keeps you from ever buying the plane ticket.  Here are a few antidotes to this common toxin:

1. Start believing you can. Breaking the sound barrier, the 4-minute mile, and hundreds of other amazing human accomplishments were all first believed to be impossible.
2. Stop thinking in black and white. This is the idea that you fail when perfection isn’t reached.
3. Stop getting on the scale and start counting calories. We often set goals without measuring the right things.
4. Get your hopes up. Too many are so worried about getting their hopes dashed they stop hoping at all.

A Lack May Be Your Gain

If you think that all your resources must be met before you get started you probably never begin.  A lack of resources can often spur on resourcefulness.  It has never been easier to find items you need with little to now money.  (Letgo, Ebay, Craigslist, offerup)

• The barter system has severed me well over the years.
• Get curious with the people around you.
  • We should be more concerned with being interested in others rather than them being interested in us. (i.e Instagram, Facebook, etc…)

Choose Some New Piers

This doesn’t mean anything is wrong with the piers you have.  Certainly, I am not wanting to encourage the blame game here.  Blamers aren’t changers.  Look for a group on a similar journey.  Join a mastermind group or create one.  If your wanting to run your first 5K a runner club can make all the difference in the world.  You’ll even find out that the journey yielded far richer experiences that the race itself.

Start believing that you can and watch your reality catch up.
