LIVE BEYOND LIMITS

Do you put limitations on yourself? Do you find reasons to quit a task before you even get started? It is not uncommon. As rational thinkers our natural tendency is to weigh the “costs and benefits” to achieve our goals. But at times it’s much easier to find reasons why something may not work versus the joy and accomplishment we could derive from achieving the success. This thinking limits our abilities to experience greater fulfillment and satisfaction. A limiting mindset may stem from a difficult childhood, low self-esteem, or past failures. Yet, despite the specific reason, it all boils down to fear.

Unlock your potential and overcome limitations with these tips:

·       EMBRACE YOUR LIMITATIONS. Realize that even if you’re not the best at something, you can still be very successful, as long as you make an effort. There will always be someone smarter, stronger, or better looking than you. But they aren't you. Everyone is given a unique gift to fulfill their calling. Find yours and avoid letting a fear of inadequacy stop you from trying. It’s okay if you try and fail. Failing to try is the only true failure.

·       WORK A LITTLE HARDER. Thomas Edison once said, "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." Even coming up with a great idea for a new service or product is more about hard work than about being brilliant. Lots of people are talented, but it takes someone who's willing to put in the extra effort to make it successful. Just get to work and do your best.

·       GET INTO POSITION. Before you get in your car and turn on the ignition, you have a destination in mind. Accomplishing things in life can be the same way. Have a clear understanding of where you want to go and then you can figure out how to get there. Step out of your comfort zone and step into the fulfillment zone.

·       EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITIES. Sometimes things seem impossible for us, only because that’s what we believe them to be. Open your mind and overcome the onstacles blocking your potential. Focus on what you can do and believe the best for your next steps. You'll be amazed at how things will work out for your good.

Turn “I wish” into “I WILL” and live beyond your limits! Take a moment and share a success you’ve achieved through limitless living.
