Little Old You Won't Change

How many times have I heard "Oh, I couldn't do that"; "I could never say that"; "What would people think of me if I actually did that?"

Basically, we all think that "Little Old Me" is not up to it. And, if we think that, we'd be right - on a variety of fronts.

First of all, if you think that something is unrealistic it is! If you think you can't, you won't.

More importantly, regardless of what you think "Little Old You" cannot and will not change your life or any aspect of it. "Little Old You" is designed to maintain the status quo.

On top of all that, if all that weren't bad enough, "Little Old You" is old indeed - decades old. "Little Old You" comes from a foreign land... the dim and distant past.

"Little Old You" has no place in your life here today because "Little Old You" is not you, not who you really are, not by a million miles.

About the Podcast

To Succeed... Just Let Go
How to change how you think, change your life and achieve success and happiness
I’m Willie Horton and I’m a psychologist - from Dublin Ireland, living in the French Alps - each week we explore how to change the way you think and... change your life.
Cognitive psychology and neuroscience provide the evidence that anyone - that means you! - can take charge of how the mind works, restructure the brain's key components and... change your life.
The really cool news is: what you need to do to change your life is breathtakingly simple and you'll find your health, wealth, fitness, wellbeing, happiness and peace of mind simply flow when you're flowing in the moment.
And you can get involved too - we can start talking in my private Facebook Group called… To Succeed… Just Let Go - just let go here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/100414346687833

Willie Horton

I’m Willie Horton and I’m a psychologist. Since 1996 I’ve been helping my clients and followers all over the world change how they think - that changes their perspective and their lives… and it’s transformational.

I’m originally an accountant and banker, from Dublin Ireland, now living in the French Alps (I know a bit about transformation too) and I can tell you how to change your life one simple step at a time (there are really only two steps).

Hope you take one of those steps today.
