MOTIVATION TODAY: LEARNED HELPNESSNESS

Image result for helplessness
Ever wondered why the weak keep getting weaker and the strong keep getting stronger?
Have you observed why many people have resigned to fate in life, claiming that whatever will be will be?
The answer to this global human condition is in the concept of Learned helplessness.
Pioneering work by Dr. Martin Seligman has shed immense light on this concept in the field of Psychology.
Every victim has the potential to turn around his fate and become a champion.
But for the internal conditioning of learned helplessness- the subtle belief system that we are not capable enough to make it.
At the root of learned helplessness is a faulty belief system subtly wired into our subconscious mind until it becomes a command.
It's a lie sold to us to think we are not good enough to take charge of our lives, that we have to live our lives at the command of some tyrants.
These tyrants who hold the key to our joy and satisfaction, may show up as a mate in an abusive relationship, an employer in a dead end job,
a teacher or worse still, a family relative...or even in a religious setting, e.g. church.
However, the truth is nobody can drive you down the path of irrelevance in destiny without your consent! Thinking otherwise is learned helplessness.
The reason many have given their personal power away to their circumstances is because they have felt helpless to take charge of their lives.
Dear friends, how helpless do you feel over the circumstances of life today?
Do you think you can never outlast this present besetting storm of life?
I have good news for you-you are designed to outlast the storms of life.
But you must take back your personal power to make informed decisions about your future.
Knowing the Greater One resides on your inside is enough to fuel your resolve to be all you were designed to be.
Learned helplessness can never be tackled from without, it originates within and as such must be addressed from there.
Distorted thought pattern, lack of self reliance and personal initiative, limiting self belief and self esteem are symptoms of this helplessness.
The condition started with a particular thought pattern and can only be corrected by insisting on installing a new empowering thought pattern.
It is a consistent daily exercise - learning to think the right thoughts, insisting on positive and healthy imagination as much as you can.
'A man becomes what he thinks about all day long.' says American Psychologist, William James.
Dear friend, you don't have to be helpless anymore, you have all it takes to be successful in life and destiny.

Yours in unlimited flight,
Eagle...
