“To
understand the limitation of “things”, desire them”
Lao Tzu
“The
wise man is one who knows what he does not know”
Lao Tzu
How
many dreams that you've dreamed of have come true?
I’ll bet many of them, in
fact I’ll bet all of them.
Some
may be saying “No! I rarely get what I wish for”.
But when
I say that, I am referring to the belief that lies beneath the dream, the underlying belief you have about that day
dream.
Some will
answer “Wrong! I didn't want these circumstances, this terrible situation. I didn't ask for stress and never ending financial struggles”.
But you
did.
You may
say “No, I dreamed of having a beautiful house and a new sports car and hitting
the lottery!”
Yes, but
you believed more that you were unlucky and never win anything, that you
could never have a million dollar house or ever own a Porsche or Mercedes.
These
thoughts aren't a loud nagging voice or really even a voice at all. This is your inner critic. It is just
a tiny persistent whisper that keeps reminding you of your reality.
Your
beliefs.
I've talked about this many times. We create or attract what we put out there. Good,
bad or whatever.
It is
the subconscious “under-programming” that gets heard not our wishes, wants or
day dreams.
It is
what your unconscious mind really believes in that happens.
So what
do you do? How can we change it or at least begin to change our under programming?
The
first step is to get clear on what you are really believing. To do that you
have to learn to hear those little internal whispers that reflect your limiting beliefs.
How do
you do that?
This is
where it can get tricky.
The critical
part about identifying our limiting beliefs is being able to separate them from
our definition of ourselves or our self-view.
This is
because in taking on these beliefs we “agreed “to believe them. We actually
became comfortable believing them.
So
identifying them and taking action to remove them can sometimes be a
challenging process.
We began to believe that this is who we are, that we were born this way and this is our lot in life, etc.
The
most common limiting beliefs all revolve around self-worth or self-esteem.
“I’m
not good enough”
“I’m
not smart enough”
Therefore
most of your limiting beliefs will be sourced from these basic beliefs.
"I don’t
make enough money, because…...."
"I don’t
have a good job because……."
"I’m not
successful because……."
"I don’t
deserve this because……."
So your
homework for this week is to listen to yourself. Watch how you talk to
yourself.
Hear
your inner critic's voice when it gives you those little hints or clues about how you
are really feeling about yourself.
Next time
we’ll talk more about getting a clearer picture of your limiting beliefs and how to begin to change them.
