Have you ever let your mindset hold you back?
Kind of a dumb question right because we all have.
At some point, we’ve all felt like we weren’t enough.
Throughout my life, at some point or another I’ve felt like…
- Whatever I wanted to accomplish was impossible... well at least for me
- I didn’t have the resources to get things done.
- I wasn’t smart enough.
- I wasn’t talented enough.
- I didn’t look the part.
- I didn’t have the right background.
As the years went on I think I was conditioned to believe things like…
- Money was scarce.
- Getting a stable job was the right thing to do.
- Don’t stand out and play to your strengths.
- The opportunities in your town are the ony ones available to you
- Circumstances dictate results.
- Being really successful or wealthy was for "other" people.
Do any of those sounds familiar to you?
Have you ever experienced one or more of these feelings?
Along the way, I ALSO learned this, they were all lies!!
All of them.
Eventually, I replaced them with hard truths like…
- I am smart enough.
- I’ve got my own unique talents & strengths to build around
- There is more than enough opportunity.
- How I respond to my circumstances is what will dictate my results.
- It’s up to me to do the work.
- Consistency & perseverance are more vaulable than resources
Yes, I still have those doubts & lies trying to creep into my mind from time to time, even this morning
...but I now I will not feed them.
Instead, I focus on the truths that have allowed me to achieve any of the little successes I’ve had along the way.
So when you find your mindset drifting to places that don’t serve you well...I’d suggest that you list out your own truths like the ones I just shared...and focus on those.
You can accomplish more than you think...but you have to believe it before you can live it.
If it's ok with you, share some of your strengths with me or even in our fb group !
