She Never Let Anyone See Her Teeth...Why?

A while back, when I was working in the retail grocery business, there was a cashier that I'll never forget. She was very attractive and yet every time she would start to talk to someone, her hand would cover her mouth. I finally asked an associate about this odd situation, and this is what he said.

Apparently when she was younger, she would get teased about her teeth. I found out that not only would her classmates tease her, but that her parents would actually make remarks about her teeth as well. I know kids can be cruel, but her own parents?

Well I did happen to catch a glimpse of her teeth one day, and they really weren't that bad, I mean I've seen much worse. But the fact of the matter was this...she had been programmed, at an early age, that her teeth were hideous looking. So she choose to believe that for the rest of her life and cover them up every time she opened her mouth.

Much in the same way, we get programmed at a very early age about many things that can last a life time. One of the most damming things is what we were taught, or not taught about money...making it, spending it, saving it, investing it and so on. We usually learn most of that by watching the way in which our parents handled their money issues.

In order to dramatically increase your chances for success, in anything, you have to reprogram your brain in order for you to move forward. Until you change your inner thoughts and beliefs, the way in which you view things, your results will never be as you want them. It doesn't matter how hard you work, how smart you think you are, how many successful friends you have.

"Once you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." That's a quote from Dr. Wayne Dyer, and it's dead on.

It all starts and ends with you...period. There's no one who can force you to change your inner thoughts, which directly result in your current actions, and are also the results of your current situation.

Some things you can do if you want to change...find a good mentor, read a good book, attend a seminar, listen to a good audio or watch a video on the subject.

Change your mind...change your life!
