Attract What You Desire

Hey Friends,

?

Welcome back to another edition of our Newsletter.

?

I believe you have goals and aims, and an idea of what you would like your life to be like. Despite this though, you fail to reach those goals or to actualize your dreams. Why is this? Or to put it another way, what is it that is holding you back? I believe that you already know what the answer is likely to be.

IT IS YOU.

?You have been responsible for getting in your own way at one point or another. Either because of limiting beliefs, or because of poor habits and lack of discipline. How many times have you decided that you want to make a change in your life by getting into shape, or starting a new business, or starting a new job… only to then make zero progress in those areas? What possible reason could you have for this?

?Most often than not, it comes down to a lack of believe or faith in yourself. It comes down to limiting beliefs about who you are, what you’re worth… even how you’re meant to behave!

Limiting beliefs are incredibly destructive, largely because we often don’t realize they’re affecting us. They sit quietly in our unconscious brains and gradually prevent us from fulfilling out full potential.

And more than that, they make you unhappy. They give you a sense of negativity, which can color everything you do in unflattering tones. These beliefs act as your reference point. They inform every decision and opinion you make. They form your “internal operating system.”

In other words, every feeling, thought, and experience that you have will actually flow out of these beliefs. If you don’t replace them with positive ones, then you won’t be able to get the most out of life – or enjoy it even if you do.

Research has shown that our brain is plastic. It is always changing and even our very thoughts are capable of changing the structure of our DNA! This is good news and it means it is entirely possible to transform the way you think and to in that way live a happier and more fulfilled life.

?Let me share some practical examples of limiting beliefs.

1.????? You Can’t Start Your Own Business

Let’s say that you have a business idea. The idea is about providing coaching for small businesses and help them to get up and get started.

Your plan is to sell directly to the customer by looking for them on social media. You will find people who post about a business plan, then you will send the a DM and start chatting. As soon as you spot the green light to sell, you will jump on it.

Here’s where the problem hangs: you are too scared to message anyone!

Every day you put off sending a DM to your prospective clients, and you can’t understand why this is happening. It comes down to some limiting beliefs such as:

? You don’t believe anyone would pay for your business idea

? You are worried that if you fail, you’ll lose something that has been keeping you motivated

? You are a “shy person” and don’t like to disturb people

You can see, three limiting beliefs holding you back from pursuing your dreams – or maybe even getting rich!

2.????? You Won’t Leave Your Current Job/Relationship

Let’s say you are in a job or a relationship that makes you unhappy and would not give you fulfilment. But you STAY THERE anyway! Why? Because you feel it’s the “best you’re going to get.”

You think that if you end the relationship, you will end up loveless, or you will find yourself on the street if you quit your current job. The underlying limiting belief here is lack of self-esteem.

A lack of self-esteem means that you don’t think or believe you can get “something better or deserve better.” You actually think you are not “worth” more than that relationship or job. And this then leads you to make some terrible mistakes.

I know a few acquaintances that have stayed in abusive relationships because they don’t feel that they will find anything better! Some even feel that they deserve the abuse they receive.

3.????? You Won’t Approach a Group of Friends

The sad truth of it is that for some people, limiting beliefs are so powerful that they won’t even go and speak to their own friends. They believe that they will stutter, or their friends may not want them around. They think they have nothing to contribute to a conversation.

Sometimes, not all limiting beliefs look negative on the surface. For example, your sense of “self.” You have a sense of who you are, but most times you don’t think of it as a limiting belief!

Yes, who you think you are is not always a limiting belief… but it can be!

Here is a perfect example of this: when you get stuck in “type thinking.” This is when you think that you are a certain “type” of person, or that you have a certain set of traits… and then you let that determine who you are going forward. Let’s say, you think yourself as shy and because of that you can’t approach clients. But this is affecting your business badly.

As you can see, limiting beliefs can be extremely problematic and hurt every area of your life.

These are just few examples that I have shared.

It is now time to start doing something about them. But it all begins with changing your self-perception and your attitude. Let’s look at one thing:

The Law of Attraction

I believe you have heard of the 'law of attraction'.

The law of attraction simply states that what you put out into the world ultimately determines what you get back; that as you act, so you will become.

If you believe you are destined for success, then you will show this in everything you do - dressing smarter, acting more positive and confident, and taking on more responsibility.

As a result, you will give off this energy that tell people you are confident and bold. When they see you dressed in your smart clothing, they will think to themselves 'this is a successful and capable person'. And you know what? They will want to get close to you, offer you good opportunities and help you succeed as a result.

Just like they will tell you to dress smart for an interview. This is because the interviewer has to see you in a certain way. This gives off that aura of confidence, intelligence and boldness. Good things attract more good things.

The bottom line here is that, if you don’t believe you are capable of greatness, then you will not act as though you are. And if you don’t act as though you are… you won’t be!

When you hang your head feeling shy and vulnerable, that is how people will perceive you and therefore treat you.

When you are scared of everything, you wouldn’t take chances that could improve your life for the better. But when you are bold and daring, you can achieve amazing things and transform the way others see you.

Next week, we will dive deeper into this subject.

Cheers to an amazing Thursday!
