Dear Reader,
Did you make the decision yet?
The decision to develop yourself so that you can access your whole potential and get what you truly want out of life.
You can do this – Everybody can do this. Why? Because the barrier between you and success is not something that exists in the real world, it's simply made up of your own limiting beliefs about yourself.
Nothing, and no one, can stop us from success. They may temporarily hold us back – But it’s only you who can do it permanently.
So success is really a state of mind, "You can, when you believe you can!"
If you are willing to accept this, you will eventually, and sometimes very quickly, have whatever you are open to.
However, these limiting beliefs are walls that need to be taken down whenever they appear, because they separate and prevent us from seeing and discovering all the opportunities that are around us all the time. Opportunities that can help us to live our dreams.
The very instant we make a decision, things begin to happen around us. It’s as though when a decision is made based on an insight into reality, all else falls into place: Events, people, meetings – everything confirms and reinforces such a decision. Decisions are waiting to be made. Excuses for us not making them, however, can be many.
Why does this happen? It happens because our limiting beliefs are holding us back.
One of the most common indications of limiting beliefs is the presence of our inner critical-voice telling us, for example, that we’re not capable or good enough. This inner critical-voice thus generates, fear and self-doubt about our true and innate capacity to succeed in what we do. So what happens next?
Well, as long as we continue to listen to our inner critical-voice, its affects continue, with the result that our feelings of fear and self-doubt increase. Many people try to avoid the pain from this process by suppressing these feelings of fear and self-doubt. But suppression is not elimination and these feelings will rise again to the surface, because our inner-voice continues to criticize and we never actually stop hearing it, even if this often happens only unconsciously, and so the circle goes on.
This repeated supression of our feelings also takes a lot of energy to little purpose. The reality is we continue to be disconnected, from our true and innate capacity to succeed, because we put our focus on suppressing these feelings, which also takes our attention away from taking advantage of, and often of even seeing, all the great opportunities that are around us all the time...
But we can break this circle by taking care of ourselves!
No one can do it better than you, because you know what you need and you can give it to yourself.
Instead of listening to this debilitating ”tape of criticisms” – make a factual analysis of what caused you to play it. Is there actually factual cause that justifies your self-criticism? Would someone else, with the same background as yours, have handled things so much better?
Probably not.
Comfort yourself and treat yourself the way you would treat a child, ask yourself: “What is it that I need?” “How can I best serve myself?” Continue to comfort yourself. Maybe you want to do something you especially like, something that can help you to relax a little bit more. For example, take a break from what you’re currently doing - and go for a walk, take a bath, listen to music etc.
This process will give you more clarity about your limiting beliefs. And clarity will eventually give you the option of replacing them with beliefs that support you, so you can get what you want from life.
- Replace that critical voice with one that is emphatic and kind. This will build your self-esteem. And it’s a phenomenal way to build courage so you can master your fear and walk right through it, instead of trying to suppress it.
As soon as your intentions are strong, you become a “magnet” and start to attract people and circumstances to make it come true!
