What really prevents you from seeing a bigger Potential than what you see?
In the exercise of the previous post, 75% of people questioned (without seeing other people’s answers) ‘see’ a 3-digit number, 20% a 4-digit number, and only 5% ‘see’ even bigger numbers using more ‘creative’ thinking like the one demonstrated in the picture.
Why is this happening? For the same reason why we are stopped to see the true potential in our own selves, i.e. to visualize the ‘Best version of ourselves’ who would overcome all obstacles to achieve our goals.
And this reason is called: ‘Limiting Beliefs’. In this exercise many people say that they didn’t ‘see’ a larger number because ‘you were not allowed to turn the page around’ or ‘you couldn’t have digits of different sizes’ and other similar things that are ‘background’ thoughts that limit our Mind, even though they may have their ‘legitimate’ source in the past or somewhere in our life.
The ‘sneaky’ thing about Limiting Beliefs is that we are NOT aware that they are Limiting! Even worse, most of the times, we are NOT aware that they are Beliefs (!), because we are so deeply identified with them that we are totally convinced that they are ‘the reality’. The truth is that the reality is what it is, and sometimes brings out obstacles, but the way that we ‘translate’ this reality -with our thoughts- into generalized beliefs is the result of our Mind’s ‘filter’, which we are able to reprogram.
The most common ‘Limiting Beliefs’ that prevent people from activating their Q-Mind are:
– ‘I have no time to…’
– ‘Ι have no money to…’
– ‘I don’t’ have this ‘x’ skill, quality or talent’
– ‘I am ‘x’’ (generalized affirmation of a negative quality)
– ‘I am NOT ‘y’’ (generalized negation of a positive quality)
Exercise:
Write down ALL the possible beliefs or frequent thoughts, that may prevent you from seeing the ‘Best possible self’ of yours. Select TWO from the list, that you are committed to change if you find the way.
