I was talking to a fellow the other day who told me the story of his “almost golf career”. Apparently he was very good. Not just very good, very very good. He played pro golf in the far east, from Japan, to Singapore to Australia. He was that good.
But when he tried to break into the PGA, or the Professional Golf Association ranks, he suddenly came up short. Not that he couldn’t play at their level, but as he freely admits, his thoughts stopped him.
You see, when he was a young boy growing up in Canada, he played hockey, and he was pretty good at it. But he was never quite good enough for his dad. If he got 2 goals in a game, his dad’s only comment would be how he missed getting a third goal because of something or other.
You get the picture of what I am talking about. And later in life, when he was at the top of his game in golf, his dad’s voice came back to haunt him. “Your OK, but you sure could have done better. Your just not good enough.”
And in a nutshell that is it. As Dr. Bruce Lipton shows in his work, you are imprinted by your environment right from the moment of your conception in the womb. He goes even farther than that and states that what your parents experienced up to 8 months before you were conceived is affecting how you think and feel!
And everyone has been imprinted, and by the time you are only 2 years old, you can have hundreds of thousands of imprinted messages in your cells. And many of them are toxic.
But you can detox your negative programing, and do it without years of talk-it-out therapy. Results are fast and powerful. Once you get the negative voices out of your head, you suddenly find an empowerment that will bring you forward in your life.

The Intention Experiment with Lynn McTaggert
Oh how those little voices can bring us down, especially when their origins are generated by people whom we respect!
When I was 12 years old, I came home in tears after getting the results from my Latin exam.
“What’s the matter?” my mom asked. “I got 75%,” I sobbed.
“What was your position?” my mom continued. “First.”
“How many people failed?” my mom pressed on. “50% of the class,” I replied starting to feel better and wondering how those who failed were feeling right then.
“So why are you crying?” my mom said gently as she raised my chin to look directly into my eyes. “My teacher said she was disappointed because she expected me to get 95%.”
My mom hugged me laughing, said that I was a silly goose and that the teacher must have written a tough exam.
I thought my mom was very wise for the way she questioned me. She led me to conclude that failure is a matter of perspective – hers, mine and my teacher’s.
That episode was my first glimpse on how hard I was on myself trying to be perfect – a pattern I repeated well into my adult years. Perfectionism is based on fear.
Fortunately, you have shown me how to let go of my fears and go with the flow of life with joy.
Thanks for sharing Francoise. That is a great example of where our thoughts come from. Often time we don’t even know where they are coming from.
