There are so many different ways we keep ourselves from success. We have a part of our brain that doesn't want us to succeed. It wants us as leaders to not do extraordinary things. It wants us to stay safe and secure. We use Blocking statements to protect ourselves

This part of our brain is called the Amygdala. Some people call it the lizard brain. It is our safety switch. It is meant to look out for danger and danger is found in the unknown parts of our life. So It does what it can to make sure you are not venturing into places that will make you uncomfortable.

Two way that it does this is with the phrase I don't know. That way you don't have to probe your thought into those uncomfortable sections. You won't have to go where the truth lies because if you don't know how are you suppose to find out?

Another blocking statement is I am confused. again for much of the same reason. How can you be expected to know what's going on if you are confused? There is no answer if you are confused.

Yet there is a question you can ask yourself if you find your self saying when you are confused or you don't know. That question is...
What if you did know 
or What if you weren't confused?
You may be surprised to learn the answers if you respond with those retort questions.
