“Most people are not really free. They are confined by the niche in the world that they carve out for themselves. They limit themselves to fewer possibilities by the narrowness of their vision.”
~ Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul
It is important to understand what you have incorporated into the standards and limits that you have placed on your potential for growth. They are extremely powerful and function in way that encourages or discourages the expression of your true magnificence.
Quite often what is embedded in the mind has been a culmination of external factors and experiences that have established themselves as reality. It has become your truth and without realizing it, you structure your life based on messages and a belief system that restricts the vast range of possibilities for your life. Most people don’t think about the ways in which fear and uncertainty directs the particular route that has been taken. Rather than try something new that would result in your development, like so many, you might have adopted a safe, comfort-based mentality loaded with self-imposed limitations.
Today is a new day and I believe in your potential – one that is fully vibrant as opposed to simply “existing” because you are holding yourself back. Here’s how to get started. Take time each day to connect with what you are doing and why you are doing it. Stop for a moment and ask yourself why you are eating a certain food, why you live where you do, why you work where you do, and other daily activities that have become part of your routine. Check in to see what is at the source. Have you decided on most of the things that exist in your story? Or have you limited options in response to what other may have told you?
“Don’t let someone else’s opinion of you become your reality.”
