Our unlimited potential

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there are always lots of low-paying, low-status jobs around for young, inexperienced newbies. But I prefer to think that because there were no limitations on my thinking I experienced no limitations. That I would find a job was inevitable. In fact, they seemed to me to be rather plentiful.

Lately it's not unusual to read a posting on a message board giving a poor prognosis for finding writing work. The market is slow. Jobs are few. Nobody is hiring. Lay-offs are happening all over the place. This will worry me for a bit. Then I'll read of a writer who says she's having no problem finding work, is busier than ever in fact, and is even thinking of hiring an assistant. So what gives?

If we think that our lack of success at an endeavour is due to outside forces beyond our control, is it really? Or are we simply allowing the idea of 'outside forces beyond our control' to influence our thinking thereby limiting our success?

I am not claiming to know the answer to this but I do know that the brain is a powerful thing. It makes sense that if you're certain something is going to be difficult or impossible to do it probably will be. But if you're certain you can and will do something regardless of the work required or the obstacles confronted, chances are you're going to get it done. Whatever train of thought you choose to ride, you can rely on your brain to support it.
