Nice way to turn that around, I like that. And I don’t believe for a minute that you can be too old unless you settle into that frame of mind.

Chris, I was able to do some successful self-re framing so the money quote became “Lack of money is the root of much evil.”

One I have to watch for which isn’t exactly a saying, but it’s “I’m too old… ”

Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks Keith for the awesome poem. It’s pretty wild that the biggest obstacle is sometimes yourself. Good stuff!

Yup, it’s easy to use something else instead of facing the problem. You might not even be aware of it.

Hi Chris,

Keith here from Internet Tunnel and Bloggers Monthly.

Great post and addressing a fundamental flaw in most people who start out working online but are held back by their thinking.

Here is a good poem I read somewhere..I think it is by Kristone:

If You Think You’re Beaten

If you think you’re beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you’d like to win, but think you can’t,
It’s almost for sure, you won’t.

If you think you’re losing, you’ve lost.
For out in the world we find -
Success begins with a person’s will,
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you’re outclassed, you are,
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You have to stay with it,
In order to win the prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go,
To the one with the better plan.
For more often than not, you will win,
If only you think you can.

Chris,

Good on you for taking these head on. Truly, it is a perspective thing and if someone was looking for an easy excuse for any number of maladies they could pull one of these from the bins.

I appreciate the wisdom here.
