In Zero Resistance Living, Dr. Maxwell Maltz wrote the following:
“Try and count the number of times you’ve said to yourself, ‘I feel strange in this situation. I can’t do it. It’s too hard.'”
What is this strange feeling and where does it come from? What is it you can’t do? Why is it you don’t believe in yourself?
There you are, feeling overwhelmed. Something you cannot explain is controlling you but you can’t seem to stop it because you’re totally unfamiliar with it and unconscious of why or how it is running your life. Are you ready to discover the source of this strangeness? Yes? Good.
This strange feeling is “the stranger within” yourself – the face or image of yourself inside a mental picture that you haven’t yet identified as YOU.
Let me introduce you to this stranger within yourself who is desperately trying to tell you something. He would like to know you. And, you’d better get to know him or her because all of us have this stranger within us. This stranger is someone we can get to know and COMMAND to be our friend – to guide us to success and happiness instead of despair and frustration.
This stranger’s actually begging to become a part of your conscious acts, and you’d be wise to give him the opportunity to do so.
Look closely at yourself and see the stranger within you, the heartbeat of your mind.
When you’re functioning confidently in pleasant undertakings as a result of past, successful experiences, this stranger is your friend. But, when you’re overcome with negative feelings such as lack of conviction, indecision, anger, resentment, realize that the stranger is your enemy.
Pay very close attention to what I am about to say:
When you think – you think in mental pictures. And inside every one of these picture, YOU are there. You see yourself – and when you see yourself – you FEEL and act according to how you see yourself in these pictures.
Yet, you’re not even aware that you’re in these pictures unless someone like me points this out to you.”
Agreed! The passage shown above is one of the most powerful messages I have ever read.
Inside every one of your mental pictures, YOU are there.
