1. My self-worth is based on what others think of me.
Some people define themselves based upon how they guess their boss,
co-workers, relatives and friends see them. When they are convinced that
others think poorly of them, such people lack the self-confidence
necessary to consistently take action.
2. My past equals my future.
When some people experience a series of setbacks, they assume that
their goals are not achievable. Over time, they become dispirited and
discouraged, and avoid situations where failure is a risk. Because any
significant effort entails risk, such people are then unable to make
significant achievements.
3. My destiny is controlled by the supernatural.
Some people believe that their status in life–or even their potential
as a human being–is determined by luck, fate, or divine intervention.
This all-too-common (and ultimately silly) belief robs such people of
initiative, making them passive as they wait for their "luck" to change.
4. My emotions accurately reflect objective reality.
Some people believe that their emotions are caused by external events. In truth, though emotions are determined by the perception
of those events, combined with preconceptions about what those events
mean. Such people find it difficult or impossible to "get out of their
own heads" and see situations from another person's viewpoint.
5. My goal is to be perfect or do something perfectly.
Because perfection is unattainable, the people who seek it are simply
setting themselves up for disappointment. Perfectionists blame the
world (and everything in it) rather than doing what's necessary to
accomplish extraordinary results. That's why "successful perfectionist"
is an oxymoron.
