    08 - Self-dialogue and the concept of Responsibility

    AS COUNTLESS PHILOSOPHERS AND human potential experts have said over the centuries, we are what we think about.
    The thoughts that dominate our mind are the ones that set us on the paths that we take through our lives. Our thoughts can, if we are not careful, keep us in our ruts and shield us from the new, the exciting, the rewarding.
    Where we are in our lives now is a direct result of what we have thought about all our lives; what we have thought about ourselves, our environment, our family, our jobs, our friends, our deservedness, our rights, our limits, and our potential.
    We can change the direction of our lives by changing our thoughts. As I have repeated before, this idea is not new. Indeed, the idea has been around for centuries.

    Childhood influences

    IN THE PREVIOUS podcast episode, I introduced the term Cognitive Dissonance and commented we can recognise it in ourselves when we are doing, receiving, or experiencing something we don’t believe we deserve.
    Some people are more able than others to handle this mental conflict. Why? Well, possibly the answer comes back to the time their beliefs were being formed.
    Which is exactly what you'll learn about in this episode of the 'How to be your Possible Self' podcast.
