¶ Introduction to the Two Teams
14 years ago , I wrote a book called Going One-on-One with Life . In it I introduced 16 characters , each one representing a force that could either move you forward in life or hold you back . I divided them into two teams the let's Go's and the oh No's .
Today , I want to shine light on the oh No's , not to empower them , because , whether we realize it or not , many of us end up choosing this team by default
¶ Meeting the Oh No's Team
. But make no mistake the oh no's are not your friends . They don't want you to grow , thrive or win . They want you stuck silent and just settling . Let me introduce the members of this team . We all know them Mr Procrastination , who whispers later until your dreams fade away . Mr Doubt , who convinces you that you're not enough .
Ms Frustration , who shows up when things don't go your way . Mr Failure , who reminds you of what didn't work instead of what could . Ms Fear , who paralyzes you with what ifs . Mr Should have , who keeps you stuck in regret . Mr Lazy , who tells you to rest when it's time to rise . And Mr Excuses , who has a reason for every missed opportunity .
This sound familiar . We've all heard their voices . Sometimes they shout , sometimes they whisper , but they are always there to derail your
¶ The Power of Choice
potential . They show up uninvited almost daily and if you don't consciously choose the let's goes , these characters will run your life . Here's the truth . No one is born a failure , just like no one is born a guaranteed success . Our behaviors , our habits , our mindset they pave the road we walk , and how we respond makes all the difference .
The oh-no's will always be there , trying to lead you to use them only . But remember you have something more powerful than any of them . You have choice , and that's your superpower
¶ Call to Action & Resources
. You cannot build a successful life with the oh-noes as your foundation . They represent hesitation , fear and limitation , not vision , growth and fulfillment . The life you want , the one filled with purpose , passion and progress , starts when you walk away from the oh-noes and run toward the let's-goes . Ask yourself whose team are you recruiting into your life daily ?
Because time spent with the oh-noes is time stolen from your greatness . Choose better , choose bold , choose you , let's go , make it happen . I'm Chris Fantastic Powell . Thank you for listening . For books , ebooks or audiobooks , visit chrisfantasticpowellcom or find them on Amazon .
