REAL POWER: MAXING OUT ON GOD'S LOVE |
WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR
BELIEFS, YOU CHANGE YOUR LIMITATIONS
Once you understand that your
limitations originate within your mind, you have the option of
changing them. Every belief is a choice. When you choose your
beliefs, you choose your limitations. When you change your beliefs,
you change your limitations.
Changing your beliefs about yourself
doesn’t require superhuman powers. You don’t have to be a genius or
earn an advanced degree in no limit thinking. Ordinary intellectual
powers are sufficient for the job. All you need to do is choose your
beliefs well.
Everyone who realizes their dreams
has chosen well. When they examine their beliefs about who they are
and what they can do with their life, they don’t pre-select any
limitations. They fearlessly move in the direction of their dreams
acting as if their dreams are possible. They act as if they cannot
fail, and they go as far as they can for as long as they can. When
they die, they discover their limits, but then it doesn’t matter.
Until that happens, they refuse to die before their time.
LIMITATIONS ARE PLAUSIBLE
SELF-DECEPTIONS
Limitations are a way that you say no
to life while pretending life is saying no to you. They are plausible
self-deceptions adopted by the Life Long Disoriented. Limitations are
prefabricated excuses for every failure to do what you want to do and
be what you want to be. No one blames you for being held back by all
the limitations you have adopted. Limitations are a subtle form of
negativity that is socially acceptable. They don’t have a bad sound
or smell. It even has the appearance of maturity to not struggle with
reality and to accept the limitations that appear to be present in the
world.
LIFE IS A LABORATORY FOR TESTING YOUR
LIMITATIONS
Life is a laboratory for testing the
limitations found in your mind. Although limitations appear real,
appearances are deceiving. The only way to find out if they are real
is to test them. You can talk about them and look at them from every
angle. You can think about them and analyze them. You can ask your
family and friends about them. Still, you never know if they are real
until you test them.
The Life Long Disoriented don’t
understand that limitations first happen in their mind. When
limitations pop into their mind, they accept them as fact rather than
test them. That is one of the reasons why they lead such miserable
lives. They are saddled by limitations that exist only in their
mind.
Testing limitations is the only way
to reach your dreams. When you test them, you always find that you
can do more than you thought you could. It’s rare to discover you can
do less, unless you don’t really try.
Most of your limitations disappear
when you do two things. First, you act as if your dreams are
possible. Second, you act as if you cannot fail. You don’t need to
worry about your limitations. Most of them vanish when exposed to the
power of persistent action.
BARRIERS OR HURDLES?
Many obstacles are found on the path
to your dreams. Obstacles take the form of either barriers or
hurdles. There is no difference between barriers and hurdles except
for the way you deal with them in your mind. When obstacles appear,
one person sees barriers and another sees hurdles.
Those who see barriers look for their
limits, and they are good quitters. They make quitting their
specialty. When they see a barrier, they instantly know this is as
far as they can go. Those who see hurdles approach the same obstacles
and jump over them.
There are many obstacles in life.
All of your great adventures will be found on the far side of those
obstacles. All of your dreams are found on the far side as well.
Whether obstacles are barriers or hurdles depends upon how you treat
obstacles in your mind.
If you are an expert at building big,
strong, impenetrable barriers, you will never experience the
adventures found on the far side of those obstacles. If you study at
the University of Life and have a Ph.D. in the architecture and
construction of impenetrable barriers, you spend your life discovering
all the reasons why you cannot do what you want. You develop
expertise in how to gracefully surrender your dreams, and give
excellent lectures on the futility of life. You join the ranks of the
Life Long Disoriented who studied at the same university with advanced
degrees in failure, quitting, and broken dreams.
Those who see hurdles enroll in
different programs in the University of Life. These people are
experts at jumping hurdles. They specialize in their demolition.
They take courses in how to tunnel under hurdles. For these people,
hurdles have nothing to do with limitations. Hurdles are merely the
challenges they face as they move from one adventure to the next. The
only barrier that ever stops them occurs on the day they die. Until
then, they are too busy jumping, tunneling, tearing down, or going
around the hurdles of life.
DON’T PUT HANDCUFFS ON GOD
Limitations are a double dose of
poison, because they don’t just limit you. They limit God’s ability
to help you as well. You are saying that God obviously can’t help you
with a particular problem, because if He could, you wouldn’t have
adopted that limitation. Adopting limitations is like putting
handcuffs on God.
God gave you unlimited potential for
excellence. You have the privilege of being one of his children, and
He has a plan for your life that is better than anything you can
imagine. You need to have a talk with God and find out about his
plan. Limitations are not a part of that plan. Even if you have
adopted limitations that seem to be written in stone, that is not a
problem for God. His love can easily break them up and set you free.
Remember, there is no limit to how good your life can become when you
open your heart and mind to the power of God’s love. You must max out
on God’s love and make your limitations disappear.
Affirmation:
Life is a laboratory for testing the limitations found in my mind.
Although limitations appear real, appearances are deceiving. The only
way to find out if they are real is to test them. I can talk about
them and look at them from every angle. I can think about them and
analyze them. I can ask my family and friends about them. Still, I
never know if they are real until I test them. When I test them, I
always find that I can do more than I thought I could. It’s rare to
discover I can do less unless I just don’t try. Most of my
limitations disappear when I do two things. First, I act as if my
dreams are possible, and second, I act as if I cannot fail. I don’t
worry about my limitations, because most of them vanish when exposed
to the power of persistent action.
