There’s an old joke that goes, “Two shoe salespeople were dispatched to a remote African country. In just a few days, their employer received telegrams from each. One read: “Get me out of here--no one here wears shoes.” The other read: “Send more inventory--no one here owns shoes.” This story illustrates a great truth: It is not events that shape our experience as much as our personal “take” on these events. All of us view the world with tinted sunglasses filtered by the beliefs of our family and culture. It is critical that we become aware of these beliefs. With desire and determination we can take a second look at our personal “take” on reality and decide which beliefs are serving us well and which are sabotaging our search for success.
