Limiting beliefs can often leave you frustrated, as you may find yourself dwelling more frequently on your limitations and shortcomings. Do you often feel disappointed by all the things you can’t achieve? Upon achieving something, does your momentary happiness morph into resentment? Ask yourself these questions to get clarity about your thought patterns and beliefs.

Then ask yourself: Will you grow or will you stay the same? Consider if you’re willing to reset your mind to turn your life around and grow, or if you wish to remain in the safety of the known. It’s a decision you must make, and you must know what you want. Things may not go the way you wanted them to, so you have to shift.

How do your limiting beliefs keep you from living your best life?

Limiting beliefs are thoughts or ideas that hold us back and prevent us from achieving our goals. These beliefs can be about ourselves or about the world around us. They can be based on past experiences or societal expectations, and they can be difficult to change because they are often deeply ingrained in our minds. However, it is possible to overcome limiting beliefs with effort and determination.

So do you want to grow or stay the same? Ask yourself: “Am I too satisfied, comfortable, or stuck in my self-limiting beliefs, preventing my personal growth?” Grab the baton, it is your time. Step up and do more. Find ways to be more accountable. Reach out for help if you need it because you don’t have to do it alone. 

Letting go of your self-limiting beliefs with intentionality

Though it may be challenging, it is time for you to grow up and work toward fulfilling your purpose. You may have had success, but is it enough? Are you limiting the impact you can create? Knowing what your purpose is, the impact you want to have, and the intention behind what you are doing will help you figure out what level you want to be at. Reflect on your life trajectory: are you growing toward achieving your goals? Growth doesn’t happen by accident; it happens when you’re being intentional. 

Sharing your vision with others and enrolling them in it will help you elevate your purpose and rise to the next level. When you do this on purpose, others will follow, so always be intentional.

Consider these lessons when trying to replace your limiting beliefs with empowering ones:

• Be proud of what you have accomplished so far, but know that you are meant to do more.
• Ask for help when you need it, even if you have to pay for it, because you are investing in yourself.
• Be intentional in all you do.
• When others see your vision, they will then spend the time to help you bring it to fruition.
• If you are comfortable where you are, nothing’s going to change, and you will remain exactly where you are.
