Suppose you had a computer that every time you ran it told you 1+1=3?

What would you do?

Most likely you'd try to fix it.

Why?

Because you know the answer is wrong. 1+1=2.

Okay, now suppose I told you that there was nothing wrong with your computer. What would that mean?

Well, there must be something wrong with the software you're running. Right?

Now, with the knowledge that the software was faulty, anytime you were running it and getting the wrong answer you would know it was the software that was the problem, not you!

You wouldn't sit there and think, "Geez, I'm such a dope. Why do I keep getting this wrong? I can't do math. I'll never ever figure out the answer to this problem."

So why is it that you so often blame yourself when you're running defective "life programs"?

When you think about it, it's really the same concept at work.

Your brain is the computer, and your thinking, beliefs, and habits are the software programs that are running your life.

If you're not getting the results or experiences you want, then fix the programs that are operating in the background.

You're brain isn't "broken" it's just running faulty programs that don't help you experience what you really want.

It's time to wake up.

Start paying attention to the programs you're running in your life.

If they're working, then keep using them.

If not, focus on reprogramming them so that you begin getting the results you really want.

It takes effort, but in the end it'll be time well spent. I guarantee it.
