"The only thing standing between you and your goal is the story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it"
- Jordan Belfort
About this Quote
This quote by Jordan Belfort is a suggestion that the only thing that can avoid us from achieving our goals is ourselves. We can be our own worst opponent by informing ourselves stories of why we can't achieve our goals. These stories can be based upon fear, uncertainty, or perhaps a lack of resources. Nevertheless, these stories can be changed if we choose to concentrate on the favorable and take action. We can select to think in ourselves and our capabilities, and take the necessary steps to reach our objectives. By doing this, we can break down the barriers that we have actually created in our minds and take control of our own destiny.
