Limiting Beliefs

I’ll admit I have them, I just wish I knew exactly what my limiting beliefs are.  Well a few weeks ago I was on another forum and there was a post about why so many people fail at starting and operating a business online.

I was curious to read this posting and see if something it may or may not pertain to me. Below I have copied and pasted the article for you to read.

After I read it I was searching for more information on the internet regarding limited beliefs and limited beliefs.  At this point in my life, I am trying to clear anything that may be holding back my true potential.

Here is the article and decide for yourself it may apply to you in some way…

Begin:

Let me start with telling you an eye-opening story ( I wrote and published this article years ago)…

“Don’t Act Like An Elephant!”

Strange statement, isn’t it?

But listen carefully because it can make the difference of success and failure in your business and private life.

So, let me explain…

You might know that in India elephants are used for manual labor. But what to do with them when they are not working? How to restrain them?

Their handlers came up with the idea to program them while they are still very young – by setting self-imposed limits into their thinking.

How does it work?

When the elephants are still small, weighing around 150 pounds, they get tied up with a very heavy rope.

All day long, the elephants try to get rid of it, whine, tug at it and some of them even try to chew it. But they can’t break free. Finally, the elephants give up and the fight is over.

And now it’s getting interesting…

From this moment on, they strongly believe that there is absolutely no chance to get rid of the rope. They accept the “fact” that the rope limits them.

And with this imprinted belief in place, their handlers are able to tie them with extremely small ropes!

And even as adults, weighing 8,000 pounds and more, they never attempt to break free because they “know” they have no chance at all!

As you can see, the elephants’ limits are not real, but exist only in their mind.

And so are we programmed with built-in-boundaries. They are also not real but exist only in our minds.

But with these imprinted belief systems, with these inner boundaries, we are unable…

- to live our lives to the fullest
- to be as successful as we could be
- to set and reach higher goals
- to make 10 times more money as we do now
- to build a successful business
- to get the promotion and pay increase
we always dreamed of
- to fulfill our true dreams and desires

The point is…

Your Inner Belief Systems Will Make Or Break Your Business!

So do you have any limiting beliefs?

Now any idea or thought I have is looked at more closely to see if there is something limiting attached to it, and instead think more about the real true potential of any though or idea I have.

So I guess “think bigger” may be one solution to this problem.
