FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Are Your Beliefs Serving You Or Limiting You?
Did you know that if you move a goldfish from a small fishbowl in your home and take it to a river - it will still continue to swim in the same small circle it used to when in the bowl? Why is the pattern the same? Because it has accepted the belief that if it swims farther, it's going to bump its nose on the wall and that's a very painful exercise. It has always done it this way, swimming in circles. Any other way is "dangerous or impossible."
When you question your beliefs - you question your limitations. If your beliefs serve you - they can withstand any scrutiny, obstacle or frustration. If they don't survive the questioning - it is time to drop them and replace them with beliefs that serve you.
For instance, if you have the belief that you need money to make money, it will be very hard for you to succeed in business in a nosediving economy. This single belief pattern will hinder you from getting out of debt. It will create so many obstacles in your way to succeed.
If I believed it takes money to make money, School of Professional Mentoring & Capacity Building would still be on the drawing board.
Like the goldfish that has been freed to swim in the river, you still think you are limited. Your limitation is set by your beliefs. This factor alone makes so many people never to achieve their purpose in life.
The question in the mind of so many people is, "How can I tell for sure what I believe is true or not?" This is not rocket science. The simple question to ask is:
"Does this belief serve me or limit me. I'm I getting better believing this way?"
It doesn't matter whether your beliefs are "true" or "false." What matters most is, are they moving you TOWARD or AWAY from what you want to make your life better? If they don't serve you, it is high time you replaced them with beliefs that will make you achieve your goals.
To Your Success!
