“I could never do that,” is a phrase I often hear when I tell people in the US about my decision to move to Vietnam. Why not? Many people have lived in a foreign country. In Hanoi, there is a whole part of the city where one would think that they lived in the US, the UK, Australia, or South Africa due to the high number of English-speaking expats. All those individuals found a way to live in Vietnam, so maybe you can too. The only thing preventing you is a failure of imagination.
People often spend more time searching for reasons why they can’t do something rather than contemplating the reasons why they can do something. For some things in life, nature prevents us from doing from them. For example, if you are 45 years old, it is highly unlikely that you are going to become the next Michael Phelps in swimming. However, people often use these extreme cases as excuses for why they cannot become better at something.
For the majority of things in life, there is no reason why we cannot succeed. The reasons we give are mental blocks that we create. Rather than building these walls, we should tear them down. We need to tell ourselves, “there is no reason why I cannot succeed. There is no reason why I cannot have more success. There is no reason why I cannot make more money.” So, stop with your limiting beliefs today and tell yourself, “There is no reason why my life cannot be better tomorrow than it is today.”
