  <body>&lt;p&gt;I am so tired of people saying that &quot;you are your results&quot;. How does that sound? I AM my results! Do these people know that the words I AM are the most powerful two words you can say to yourself? Not everyone's results are very positive. So what are these people saying to themselves every day? I AM a failure, I AM not worthy, I AM always late, I AM tired. What if these were your results every day? How tough do you think it would be to get motivated?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There was a study a few years back that showed that 80% of a human beings belief system is hardwired into their brain by the time they&amp;rsquo;re 8 years old. Many of the beliefs we have of ourselves are from our family and friends. Maybe our parents telling us we can&amp;rsquo;t afford things or your big brother or sister telling you that you don&amp;rsquo;t matter or you&amp;rsquo;re not smart enough. I love my brother very much, but when I look back at the things he would say to me when I was a little kid it makes me want to give him a good old fashioned beating. So the way we dress, how we view the world, the cars we drive, the relationships we&amp;rsquo;re in and the amount of money we make is all based on this belief system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This study also showed that another 15% of your belief system is in place by the time you&amp;rsquo;re 18 years old. Do you remember what you did and who you were listening to between the ages of 8 and 18? That makes 95% of who you think you are is programmed into your brain by the time you&amp;rsquo;re 18 years old. I don&amp;rsquo;t know about you but I had few people I hung out with in those Junior High and High School years that I would not follow today. These are the same people that some of my belief systems are programmed around, YIKES! This much I do know. My beliefs affect my emotions, my emotions affect my behavior and my behavior creates my results. Now, in knowing this, do you actually believe that it&amp;rsquo;s fair to you that you are your results?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would like to propose a different way of looking at it. How about your results&amp;nbsp;are only a PART of who you are! That's right, just a part of who I am. I am also a father, a husband, an&amp;nbsp;uncle, a son, a golfer and on&amp;nbsp;and on. &amp;nbsp;Just because everything in my life might not be a huge success that day doesn't exactly mean that I&amp;nbsp;AM that result. I am still an honest, deserving, loving, spiritual man today and everyday no matter what my results end up being at the end of that day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I look forward to each and every day and just because I'm not getting the results that I strive for everyday absolutely&amp;nbsp;does not mean that's only who I am.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;rsquo;s one that works for me: Results, Often harsh and Always fair? Now I can live with that!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have an awesome day&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;</body>
