Crashing Through Limiting Beliefs
by Kevin Hogan
If you have ever found yourself holding back on something you
really wanted to do, that's self-limitation.
Makes sense, right?
YOU (self)
stop yourself from doing something you want to do (limit).
If you have ever found yourself committing to something big
prior to thinking about it; that can limit your options for everything else,
including things that might really work.
Not too difficult...so far.
Knowing our true and real limitations can serve us in some REALLY
IMPORTANT ways..... like reminding us that you and I
don't have the ability to fly off The Empire State Building like they
do on "Heroes" and land safely on our feet.
Not recognizing real limits can be a splatty affair on the sidewalk below.
Make sense?
Keypoint: There are very real limitations that must be considered.
Similarly, imaginary limits can confine us in other ways, by creating doubt
and fear about our ability to create more fulfilling circumstances.
Not quite as disastrous as "splat,"; nonetheless, hurtful to your life.
Doubt
Doubt is the very powerful double-edged sword. Without it, you will
almost certainly fail. With too much, the same result.
"Short-term doubt," especially short-term doubt that happens early in
the process of decision and action is very, very, very important.
In fact, if you DON"T DOUBT EARLY, you may very well be feeling
overconfident which can lead to the gates of gehenna (Hebrew: גהנום, Greek γεεννα words used in Jewish and Christian writings for the place where evil people go in the afterlife; aka Hell) as well.
Uneducated people will tell you to erase doubt. Get rid of it.
Eliminate doubt. Doubt is negative.
Doubt is not "negative". Doubt at the right moment is nothing
more than being smart.
Doubt is an important series of thoughts. If more people doubted, then
evaluated the doubt, then worked through whether or not "it" could be
done, more things would get done.
Lots of gurus teach that doubt is harmful. It's negative.
They're idiots.
They have limited the potential of those they teach.
You say, "Hey Kev, write a book on how to persuade amoebas
to be more active." (Hey, it's a Monday, cut me some slack on
the creative parts here....)
"Oh OK, I'll get right on that." Then six months later I find out that's
simply not possible....nor is it an area that's helpful.
If I would have doubted that, it would have saved me five months and
29 days. Five minutes on the web and I could have found out....
If you burn up too much life on projects because of misplaced
"positive thinking", you'll go to the bankruptcy farm having
missed life entirely.
Stop here:
Do you ever feel that you've missed out on life? It's passed you by?
Would you like to know why?
