Norman Vincent Peale relates a story in his book, ‘Power of the Plus Factor’:
While in Hong Kong, I came upon a tattoo studio in whose window were displayed samples of the tattoos available.
I was struck by three words that could be tattooed on one’s flesh: “Born to Lose”.
Astonished, I asked the Chinese tattoo artist, “Does anyone really have that terrible phrase, ‘Born to Lose’, tattooed on his body?”
He replied, “Yes, sometimes.” “But,” I said, “I just can’t believe that anyone in his right mind would do that.”
The Chinese man simply tapped his forehead and said
“Before tattoo on the body, tattoo in the mind.”
What tattoos (habits, points of view, learned beliefs, self-images) in your mind do not serve you?
