How Can A Limiting Belief Hold Us Back?

Have you ever gone to a circus and seen an elephant being held in place by a thin piece of rope around its ankle?  Think about this for a second. An elephant is one of the strongest animals in the world and can move entire trees. Why then does it not simply break this thin rope and run away?  

This answer lies within its limiting beliefs.  When circus trainers first get a baby elephant to train, they start by tying its leg up with a heavy chain.  The baby elephant will pull and pull to try to get away because that’s its natural instinct.  It will pull day after day until it exhausts itself, all the while, not being able to break free.  One day, it will give up hope and think it’s impossible to get away.  Eventually, trainers can tie a thin rope around its ankle and it will never try to escape, simply because it doesn’t think it can.
 
This very thing happens to us all the time!  When we were little kids, we thought we could be, do and have anything.  Somewhere along the way, we started to believe what other people told us.  We forgot about our dreams to become Prime Minister or an astronaut.  We soon settled for less.  
 
Now, we don’t believe we are good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, thin enough, etc.  
 
But, this does not have to be the way!
 
We can challenge our limiting beliefs!  Our first step is by being aware of them.
 
Look at the following areas in your life.  Write what you would like to achieve, no matter how crazy you think it is.  Next, write down why you can’t achieve your goals...these are some limiting beliefs.
 
Areas to examine:
  • Finances
  • Relationships
  • Health
  • Spirituality
  • Business/Career

What are some of your limiting beliefs?  Let me know!

This really spoke to me. I keep discovering how deep the training has been about limitations through the curriculum of fear, and very little training on how to fly. As a result, when opportunities are presented to fly, i get very excited at first and then i loose steam because the invisible strings keep tugging awake my not good enoughs buried deep within my sub-subconscious. with your help, i am getting kinder and more gentler with myself. so, instead of beating myself up with how stupid i am, how i am wasting time and opportunities, i now ask more empowering questions: what else do i need to release so that i can move? As i do more of this, i get to repair and replace these limiting beliefs with more empowering beliefs. Speaking this new way of being is often a challenge, because breaking the silence, hearing my own voice speaking about possibilities sounds very unfamiliar, like trying to get myself oriented to a new language at this phase of my reprogramming.

Thanks again for being with me on this journey.
