What Limiting Belief is holding you back?
I’ll share one of my past Limiting beliefs that was holding me back:
When I was a kid I didn’t have a lot of friends so I had a limiting belief that I wasn’t likeable. That belief pushed me to have my sense of identity come from academic achievement and not work on my social skills. We think our view of the world comes from logic, we’ll it doesn’t. It is rooted in our beliefs and rationalized on a conscious level by logic.
It was only in college that very dear friends like Paul, Tom, Alan, & Bradley helped me break that core belief and learn a new one, which is “The love you get from others is driven from the love you give” (thank you Beatles)
Without that intervention, 5 years later I wouldn’t have believed I could convince Ra Cha Na to marry me or 7 years later I wouldn’t have believed I could start my own business and be quite successful at it.
What limiting beliefs are holding you back?
- Did Mom make you scared of trying anything new?
- Was Dad not there / not good?
- Did you suffer from abuse in any form, taking away your sense of agency?
Whatever it is, you can’t manage it and you won’t reach your full potential until you (1) acknowledge it exists, (2) realize it colors your view of everything, and (3) start to replace it with self-empowering beliefs that you can act on.
Here’s a start, whoever you are:
(1) I love you
(2) you are enough
(3) once you believe 1 & 2, you can start to change
I learned about this concept from Tony Robbins, you can do a deeper dive here.
