Those who have ever attended a lecture on positive thinking will know about setting limits. Most of the time we create breaks and hindrances to our own potential by marking out the limits of our own capabilities. This does not refer only to our perception of ability, it also encompasses the sense of worthiness.
"If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them."
~Bruce Lee
Many people simply do not believe they deserve a better life, or that they can be happier, or that they can aspire to have a better lifestyle.
We get realistic about what we are capable of, and as a result, we create self imposed limitations, lies that we tell ourselves as to why we can’t do something.
"The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible."
~Arthur C. Clarke
Can you think of areas in your own life where you place restrictions on yourself?
Think Big
Most of the time, our success is blocked by our own view of our world. In your efforts to increase your potential and enhance the result of self-confidence and inner power, do not be afraid to think big, or have big dreams.
You must shrug off imagined limits to your own capabilities.
Remove The Barriers To Success
Systematically dissolve all the blockages in your mind, use your mind to create the vision then, have faith and make things happen through actions.
Everything you can imagine, can be achieved. Don’t limit yourself to what already exist, or to what other people do. You are the architect of your own life.
"The biggest miracle of all is that you’re alive, on this planet."
Take Risk
Every fulfilled human beings have started with taking big “risks” and with going out of their comfort zone.
“Risk” is a label, it is just fear of the unknown, fear of failure. Embrace risk, it’s the first step to the life you deserve. You don’t have to think, if you feel it’s the right thing to do, just do it. You don’t have to know every steps of the way, just go for it.
"I've learned that fear limits you and your vision. It serves as blinders to what may be just a few steps down the road for you. The journey is valuable, but believing in your talents, your abilities, and your self-worth can empower you to walk down an even brighter path. Transforming fear into freedom - how great is that"
~Soledad O'Brien
If it’s in alignment with your true self, the universe will conspire to help you in your path. Once again, you don’t have to know “how”, just take the leap, have the vision, and let life do what it does best. Look at nature, everything is accomplished, everything is perfect, yet no elements resist to what is.
Overcome The Antagonist, Yourself
Self-imposed limitations are connected to self image. The lower your self image, the lower the expectations you will have for yourself. You will continually underperform and talk yourself out of opportunities until you have confidence in yourself and believe that you will be successful.
"There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder."
~Ronald Reagan
Everything that is possible today was once seen as impossible. So remove words and thoughts of I can’t. It is slang for “I’m unwilling to put in the work required.” And don’t let your past or people’s assessment of you stop you from going after your dreams. Your mistakes don’t define you.
Overcome Your Fears
What you love, you empower. What you fear, you empower. And what you empower, you attract. What are you attracting in your life? Is it unemployment, debt, disease, depression, abandonment, abuse, wickedness, broken relationships, addictions, bad habits, temptations, failure, anger, crisis.
"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."
~Nelson Mandela
You have the power, authority, wisdom and knowledge to face your fears and defeat your enemies. So whatever it is, just know those things come to make you feel inadequate, like you don’t have what it takes and are essentially hindering blocks to shut you down. Fear’s only job is to prevent you from changing and everything you want in life is right on the other side of that fear.
In Conclusion, We are all unique, but society evaluates us with the same standards.
The only way to live is to follow your own path
By embracing your uniqueness you take back your power. There is no such thing as the future or a finish line. When you embrace the journey, nothing is hard anymore. Stop resisting, embrace life and everything will become easy.
Spread your wings and deploy your full potential. You always had this power within yourself, we all have it. More awareness in your life is the key to unlock it.
