Have you ever thought to yourself, how can you get rid of self-limiting beliefs and why is it so easy for others to grow into their potential while I find it a challenge?
Have you considered how you can get rid of self-limiting beliefs? Personal growth seems like it is for everyone else whereas my self-limiting beliefs lead me in a different direction.
Why?
It could be for many reasons – but let me mention a few and see if they resonate within you.
- I am full of great intention – but hopeless in managing them on a daily basis. HECK – I am just undisciplined.
- I don’t think I am cut out for all this personal growth stuff. HECK – I am just allowing my unbelief to master me.
- I know myself so well, even others have told me ‘I don’t have anything to offer others. HECK – I am allowing my negative thoughts to shape me.
- As I compare myself to others, the gap is far too big for me. Everyone else is so far ahead of me. HECK – I am allowing my self limiting beliefs to slaughter me.
How you view your past, present and future will shape you. We can’t outperform our own self imagine.
For instance, if I have always been told I am useless or a failure, guess what? It will produce in me a low self-esteem.
Low esteem eventually reveals itself. We suddenly find ourselves disqualified. Why? Who wants to listen to someone who is useless or a failure! Our lives have become infected and affected by our self-limiting beliefs.
HOWEVER THE GREAT NEWS IS…
We don’t have to remain in that place, allowing our self-limiting beliefs to shape and mould us. As we recognize our self-limiting beliefs and how they entered our life, we can take action!
We must allow the truth to set us free and not permit lies to hold us back. Consider:
LIES VERUS TRUTH
- I am useless. V I am precious.
- I have no hope. V I have an eternal hope.
- I am not loved. V I am loved by God.
- I can’t do much. V I am chosen to bear fruit.
As one who has faith in God, I believe there is power in truth and that the truth can overcome fear, doubt and our self-limiting beliefs.
Which areas of your life would you like to grow in during the next 12 months? Is your past holding you back from moving into that which you were created to do?
VISION.
If we are to grow into all that we were created for, it is important to have vision for our life. There is momentum that comes when we have a vision. It helps draw us toward our future plans.
We become motivated by our vision of growing into our full potential – we move forward not being hindered by our self-limiting beliefs.
It is so important what we believe as it affects our potential. Click the following link to read more about – Does it really matter what I believe?

Great post Tony I am on a new journey this year I am going to finish what I started last year. After joining Jeff’s tribe last year I am ready and equipped to finish my picture book and my YA novel. Im thinking the words productivity and finish are my words for this year. Your posts will keep me honest with myself I am sure of that. My mindset is strong and I am doing the hard work but most importantly I am imagining my work in the library and on the book shelves. The other day I did an illustration that when I looked at it my mind said…. see you CAN do this, its all about the work now Thanks great post.
Very Good thought ..I think a small success must be celebrated this will enhance self confidence . Even failure must be celebrated as it bring power to introspect , reassess situation .
