Change Your Limiting Beliefs

     Believe you can, or believe you can’t – either
             way, you’re right. ~ Henry Ford
     What did you believe that was holding you
      back?
     What do you believe now?

    The only thing keeping you from what you want
    is the story you tell yourself about why you can’t
    have it. ~ Anthony Robbins

www.toastmasters.org
Set the Game Up to Win!

     Enjoy the process, not just the outcome.
                What can you add to make it fun?
