I recently listened to one of Jerry Clark’s DVDs. He spoke about how limiting beliefs are so destructive. They can stop you from reaching your fullest potential.
I hope that after you read this blog post that any self-limiting beliefs that you may be hanging on to are exposed and replaced so that Your Greatness is Released.
Many more network marketers could reach their Goals of building a team, getting loads of customers and rank advancing, if they’d embrace the power of developing a strong mindset.
Our Conscious and Unconscious Thoughts Control Our Actions.
These thoughts are programmed from many external factors. There are situations that have happened in our life, which can cause us to belief and feel a certain way. The things we listen to, read and see play a major part in forming our thoughts and beliefs. Our actions or lack of are based on the beliefs we have. Our thoughts can either empower us or cause us to have limiting beliefs about our capabilities.
It is very important that we guard our thoughts. Non-productive, non-edifying and dream killing thoughts need to be avoided or dismissed. That’s why I rarely watch tv or hang around negative people.
Here is an example of a Personal Self-limiting Belief that I have personally identified.
One of my hurdles is the fear of public speaking. Probably derived from the time when my aunt scolded me for something she thought I said. And as a result I shut down and my shy nature was formed. I was a young child at the time and just figured that it would be best that I spoke as little as possible in order to avoid being reprimanded.
As a result I grew up not liking to be the center of attraction. I would respond with short and quick replies, and refrained from speaking my mind for fear of disapproval. Public speaking was certainly not something I would chose to do or even thought that I could do. As you can see, this self-limiting belief is actually a self-imposed conclusion derived from my thoughts.
Now I will share how this destructive thought had affected me. Perhaps this will help you to recognize any self-limiting beliefs that you may be carrying so you can get beyond them also.
I wanted to help entrepreneurs by holding training workshops. That would mean that I would have to be the center of attraction, and participate in public speaking.
The root of me not going ahead and conducting the workshop is because of the self-limiting belief I have been holding on to. I have been telling myself that I was afraid to speak in front of a group of people. That thought has hindered me from taking the actions necessary to conduct the workshops. It has been disempowering and destructive. I could help so many people once this limiting belief is dealt with properly.
Quick Re-Cap:
Thoughts Become Beliefs and Beliefs Lead to Action or Lack of Taking Action.
My thought- I was better off not being heard
My Belief- Fear of public speaking
My Action- Not following through with conducting the training workshops
Time to get past it.
Here is the Secret to Revealing Your Greatness….
