Now that we’ve looked at what we want, it’s time to figure out why we’re not going for it. So today’s prompt is “What’s holding me back from my dreams?” This is, in many ways, similar to the questions of “What’s stopping me?” and “What am I afraid of?” You may have similar answers. But I’ve found it helpful to go at my limiting beliefs from several angles and using different words to see what’s hiding in my brain.
Once you’ve listed everything holding you back, revisit each one and as yourself whether or not it’s true. If your answer is “yes”, then ask yourself if it’s ultimately, 100% of the time for everyone, written on in stone in the heavens, true. Then come up with a better truth that you now want to live by.
One of the big things that has held me back for years is the belief that I need a job with a guaranteed paycheck and health insurance. Is this ultimately true? No. Plenty of people do a brilliant job of going out on their own and starting a business. If they didn’t, we wouldn’t have any new businesses or new jobs. And those crop up all the time. Has this been true for me in the past? Yes, because I believed it was. But I’m ready and willing to see things differently now.
