The third chronic area of challenge to creative transformation is intelligence.  We have all met those people who have built up such a fortress of argument and justification that they couldn’t detect it if the light came on in their own head.  Those are the one’s so adept at explaining to us exactly why our dreams can never be realized. We who practice affirmative thinking and dreaming avoid the influence of such people, when they say “can’t” we head the other direction and eliminate them from our inner circle of advisors.  Curiously these people if they ever get turned around are a formidable forward movement.  Once they get away from the need to be right, or fear of being wrong opportunity opens up for them.

Which leads me to the final major area of limitation; fear.  Some people live in fear so glaring they are almost unbearable to be around.  They seem to exude an aura of confusion which infiltrates all but the clearest mental focus.  These people can easily be spotted; the difficult ones to see are those who live their lives in a subtle state of anxiety, a low lying background chatter that appears to constantly destabilize the desire for forward movement.  They do all the work but somehow it just doesn’t seem to bring them the results.  Diligent, pleasant to be around, yet somehow out of alignment, they work, work, work yet still nothing changes.  And deep down they knew this would always turn into an empty bag of some one else’s promises.  They usually get overwhelmed with their process of changing circumstances rather than their counter productive thinking.  They just can’t seem to let go of the evidence of their eyes.  This is absolutely the most difficult hurdle to surpass in a new awakening of our power to create our lives.  Yet this is the example of the masters.  Being able to see beyond the moment into the world of potential with absolute certainty is the hallmark of all the greatest religious leaders and hypothesis of the leading edge of science.  It is the only way.

There are many challenges to the demonstration of transformative thinking; I have only explored the most global four challenges.  If one surpasses these four the others are mere detours and rough patches on a road to a new age.
