NLP Presupposition: People Have All The Resources That They Need To Make The Changes They Want.


We have all the internal resources we need to succeed.

Sometimes we have "no" solution because something is preventing us from seeing the answer that we already have!

Sometimes we just need other people to bring it out of us.

Often it is only a matter of applying skills we already have in one area of our life, and applying them to another area we might not have thought of before.

NLP Presupposition: People Are Doing The Best They Can With The Resources They Have Available.


Everything we need for change and success begins in our minds as thoughts and dreams. Our thoughts and dreams are our mental resources.

People are resourceful.

It’s just that we are sometimes in an unresourceful mind state and don’t access our mental resources.

In an unresourceful state, we think negative thoughts and have nightmares instead of dreams. People often blame outside circumstances, other people or bad luck when they feel down.

Eleanor Roosevelt said that: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

Our mind state is uniquely under our own control. We can control and create our own mind state by choosing our thoughts, no matter what the outside circumstances are, or what other people do.

Be aware of our mind states and switch our mind state from unresourceful to resourceful.

Concentration camp survivor, Viktor Frankl calls the freedom to choose our thoughts under any circumstances, the “last of human freedoms”.

Victor Hugo said: “Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come.”

NLP Presupposition: There Is No Such Thing As Failure, Only Feedback.


If something doesn't work as planned, use that as feedback to generate another plan of action, and try again.

Such feedback is an essential part of the process of success.

Instead of feeling bad, we are free to form a new plan of action and try again.
Until you die, you can continually alter your behaviour till you get the results you want.

Thomas Edison found over 1,000 materials which are not suitable as filaments for a light bulb before he found one which worked well.
