Question Your Limitations/Achieve Your Goals

2 replies


Did you know that if you move a goldfish from its small fishbowl in your home and took it to a lake, that he will still continue to swim in the same circles as in the fishbowl? Why is that? Because ultimately he has accepted the belief that if he swims out farther than his learned movements and conditioned state, that he is going to "bump himself into the fishbowl". He's always done it this way, this is all he knows, and any other way is now "impossible"!

Like the goldfish that has been freed to the lake, you still think you're limited. Your limitation is set by your beliefs. When you challenge your beliefs, you take the first step in ending your limitations. If your beliefs do serve you and your goals- they will withstand the scrutiny. If they don't -its time to drop them and replace them with beliefs that serve you.


When the word 'Belief' comes up, many people start to imagine, the type of belief someone has when they have a strong religious faith. Contrary to this, beliefs are what we deeply hold in our subconscious mind that we assume to be real about a given circumstance or area in life.


If you hold the belief that it is hard to make money, it is likely that you will be broke or wind up broke at some point. This is because a deeply held belief is a self fulfilling prophecy. Your mind will find a way to either make this belief come true, or make it seem to be true...which winds up being the same thing in terms of your experience of life.

In the end, it doesn't matter if your beliefs are "true" or "false". What matters, is are they moving you TOWARDS what you want or AWAY from it. If they do not serve you, now is the time to replace them with ones that will.

    Great points.

    Agree wholeheartedly.

    Please note that some limiting beliefs are non-verbalized. So, these beleifs must be identified, written down and challenged--and then converted into its positive empowering belief counterpart.
