From what viewpoint are you looking at your life from? Are you looking in the rear view
mirror or are you looking in your windshield? Looking through your rear view mirror is viewing
life with chains of the past. Some of these chains may be limiting beliefs that were drilled
into your head as a young girl. “You will work in the family business”
“Girls are never good at math or science” “You are not smart enough to graduate from
college” Your review view mirror could be negative
experiences that you’ve never been able to let go is eating away at your self-confidence
today. Those events could be ending of a significant relationship or divorce, loss
of loved ones at a young age or significant emotional event that rocked your world.
Regardless of what is holding you back, what is key is to realize that you are making decisions
in your life today based on past experiences or limiting beliefs about yourself.
Living your life looking through the windshield means that you are looking forward. You are
not chained down by your past. Not to say that you forget the experiences; but instead
you learn from the past and let it go. In the case of limiting beliefs, you realize
that the belief is no longer true in your life today.
Personal growth is a result of working through a past experience or limiting belief. Being
human we will always be in the process of acceptance, letting go and growing from the
experience … this is the natural rhythm of life.
I am currently working through the limiting belief of worthiness. I have a lot of wonderful
events happening in my life. There is a part of me that questions whether or not I have
earned the right to have these wonderful experiences. I know it can sound silly; but it is my reality.
The result of my limiting belief is that is holds me back from life.
How do I get through it? I journal about. I talk about it. I pray
and meditate on it. I wish it was quick as turning on/off a light switch; but it is
not. It is a process I need to work through and it is a process that takes time.
I'd like to hear from you on what limiting belief you are working on right now. Please
